New Manager

[Greeny]

Is Dav007 John Coleman or Jimmy Bell by any chance ?

[VALAIRIAN]

Not the last time I saw him

Nice one Macca, that was one of Barnsies better days, but could the Stanley lads take this type of team talk?



Every week!

Allow me to answer that. Just about everything, including slag off his predecessor. In public!!

I saw several Blackburn games when Kean was manager. It was embarrassing. The worst was the Carling Cup game at Cardiff. He picked a 3rd rate team, later admitting he didn't want to win. That was an offence to the Blackburn fans who had travelled all that way for an evening game, some staying overnight. Blackburn were outthought, outclassed, outplayed.

In none of the six games I watched was there any evidence of tactics.

At first, I thought he was being hard done by - and then I watched the games.

And then there were his post-match interviews in which he always wanted to "take the positives". The man was deluded.

That's your answer, DAV007. Or do you know better from your viewing of the Blackburn games?

And don't let the fact that he took them from a comfortable upper half Premier league position to a miserable relegation fool you either, Davo. His reign was best summed up by their crucial away game at Spurs which they needed to win, when instead of battling to save their lives the team managed only one shot on goal in the match, and that was in injury time.

What nobody seems to understand about the Kean issue is that it was a conspiracy (cue MargaretR) When Venky's were negotiating to buy the club they were advised by Jerome Anderson, a football agent, who just happened to be Steve Kean's agent too, within a matter of weeks BFS had been sacked and Kean installed as caretaker manager which soon became full time on a whacking great big contract of which my 15% got a massive pay increase, plus he advised on player input which in all cost agents fees of around £4.5 million, then of course there was the stupidity blurted out after every abysmal display, which was nearly every week. when all said and done football is about fans not prima dona managers or footballers, just a point I haven't noticed to many managers who were so vocal in decrying the fans for the way Kean got stick, jumping in with offers of work

[DAV007]

I was under the impression the Blackburn fans where fed up will allerdyce and wanted him out?

You know as much about Rovers as you do about Stanley, precisely nothing much

Just to inject a smidgeon of levity into this slightly deteriorative thread ..

Projected scene at next week's interviews !...

A member of THE Selection Panel to F19's 'surprise' candidate for Manager's situation at t'Stanley...

" And apart from the latest fashion in Tracksuits, is there anything else that you feel you can bring to the job ??..."



( ps ...Just for safety's sake..this is NO way intended to caricature John Coleman !!).

I really struggle to understand why fans of the club would not want Coleman & Bell back at the club.

"They ditched us once before" - do you really blame them? They had a chance after giving over a decade of their lives to us and taking us to the promised land. They are ambitious and wanted to try to prove themselves at a higher level. It didn't work out. Big deal.

"They said they'd taken us as far as they could" - they had at the time; since then the club has gone backwards on the field. No one can doubt that. Off the field we are only marginally better. Players not paid recently.

"Bullish personalities" - so what. Are you really that offended? They are winners and love the club. They are flawed but give their all. Surely that's all that matters?

I'm not wanting to start typical accyweb handbags but I'd love to understand the opposition.

100 percent agree.

Think battle lines have been drawn between a few people on here and that's inevitably going to sway minds 'I'm against that because that's what THEY think'

No, your wrong.
It may be convenient to re-write history, but the facts are Blackburn fans where sick of the football under Big Sam and where happy when he was sacked.
