Re: Dingles without a manager
 

Have to laugh at the debate of his replacement ..............few flying names as Paul Ince....:eek: Stanley fans will tell u what they think of paul ince & his managerials......if in doubt trip opposition players up when run out of ideas:( & Newell would be a bit of an insult of where he's been hehehehe:D Jewell probably best bet so far if u can get him lol

Theres always dreams of Maurinho eh?:D

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

Shame that, I liked Cotterill. no doubt the Dingles what to dumb up to the recent craze of Champion**** and Premier Leagues dumping their managers when the game turns hard or the fans start baying from the terraces, what is it? Sixteen months on average. No doubt we’ll be playing Burnley in the same league next season.

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

9 wins in 35 games...now call me thick but anybody with a record like that deserves to be out of a job yes ??...!!!!

im surprised it hasnt happened sooner to be honest,last season he was lucky after they went 18 league games on the bounce without a win now in anybodys eyes that on its own justifies a sacking !!!!

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

Now Now B.R,,,,,,,he was o.k. now the worst Burnley manager EVER was John Bond,,,,,,I think he thought he was James Bond:)

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

not sayin he wasnt ok G.C but ok isn't good enough...his record speaks for itself and like i say IMHO its not before time !!! ;)

and not just saying it coz im a rovers fan or rubbing salt in the wounds !!

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

Longest serving manager in the division Doug, hardly a knee kerk reaction. Did a good job when he arrived but ran out of ideas and has a tendency to sulk :)

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

Never thought I would agree with you about football but it's about right is that :D

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

lol thanks ;)

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

The thing was ,,he had no money to spend on fancy players,,,,he did a good job with the funds he had,,,,,,i hope he does well where ever he goes next....

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

Some of the names being bandied about are worrying :(

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

It wasent ideas lancsdave it was just money,,,,,imho

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

oh but he did G.C,maybe not millions upon millions but i bet he has spent over 2 million..!!!

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

We are never going to have a lot of it. Stan didn't have a lot of money but he finiished 7th twice and Cotterill has had more money than Stan ever had.

I think the jury is stil out on how good he really his, lets see what happens when he goes to a club with more money like Leicester :)

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

I think i am in an hole so i will stop digging:o:o:o

""""""""""""whispering to myself.. .i still like him .. .i still like him , ,i still like him

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

I'd sulk if I was stuck up there..........Still think it's a shame though, I'll miss is comments and excuses on the drive back up the mororway on bleak Saturday afternoons......:D

Come on now, it's time to convert and become a true Red. Just think "His and Her" Stanley shirts for Christmas.....:)

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

Your supposed to judge him on his managerial ability not his looks :p

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

Cantona-esque at times. Send me your phone number and I'll talk bull**** to you at 4.50 every Saturday instead :D

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

Either that or just tune into 2br after a Burnley defeat :eek:, sorry, game.....:D

Joking apart I hope you people get a decent manager before the end of the season..........Level playing field and all that. :)

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

Two words ... John Coleman :D

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

Well that was quick, they found a new manager already

Hey that wouldent be a bad idea,If only we had HIS brass,!,,if Delia can do it....ermmm come on Rowan what about it?:rolleyes::D:D:D:D

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

Actually I'm quite warming to the idea. A permanent camera pointing to the dugout and beamed to the big screen. After Tuesday night it might be better than watching the football......... actually anything would be better than what was on offer Tuesday, I'd even go back for another helping of Stanley v Wrexham :D

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

i was a bit surprised - i rated the guy but the guy had no funds to work with

though re-signin akinbiyi was a bad choice. the players too will have to take their fair share of hte blame too.

i think he'll eventually manage a half decent club someday wiht a few pennies

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

Time will tell mani. You could say the same thing about many managers regarding funds, the more they have the more they MIGHT make a better job of it.

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

The trouble for me is that you can still have bucket loads of dosh, but if you don't have the right manager in place then it's not much good really.

Cotterall hasn't done a bad a job but I personally can't help thinking that he wasn't the right man for the job.

If he was a bit older, with a bit more experience, then he might at least have done as well, if not better with not much dosh using what he'd already got, along with the odd decent signing form time to time.

Not an easy league the championship to playing in or get out of, especially if you want promotion.

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

they won yesterday (sat) so things may be getting better,,:)

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

Hope the Delia you are talking about Granny isnt Delia Smith...because Delia CANT do it! This woman is a drunken embarrasment.Compared to my beloved NCFC Burnley have nothing to worry about.With this woman in charge we are sadly sinking without trace.:(

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

they may just opt for Davis as a cheap option?:rolleyes:

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

Yea, it's weird how most teams seem to do that the very next match after the manager's left:rolleyes:

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

No chance of that happening.

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

never say No dave.:D

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

Rumour is that Davis may be appointed until Christmas. Maybe you have inside information Cashy :)

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

not really mate,just a viable option in the lower divisions sadly.;)

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

&%$£"%", good job the swear filters are working on here or you would have seen what I called you :rofl38:

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

i am mortally wounded, swearing at moi.:D

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

I see Paul Simpson has been sacked by PNE today. I wonder what the odds are of Cotterill resurfacing at Deepdale?

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

Hopefully better than Homer turning up at the Turf :)

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

i see this man has been linked to the dingles in todays press, surely its a wind up by some over exuberant rovers fan :D:D

LEAD BALLOON springs to mind :eek:

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

Too late Dave, I just happened to be driving past today and guess who I spotted going in for his interview

http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/a...1&d=1194983298

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

Thats amazing, the same people were stood outside waiting when Mr Bean turned up for his interview :D:D:p

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

I'm suprised he hasn't talked himself out of any future job, his middle name is 'Subtle' isn't it.

He is todays favourite at the bookies, yesterday it was Souness. Do you reckon Dalglish might be in the frame tomorrow :D

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

god im bored :D

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

New manager confirmed as Owen Coyle. A scotsman who played for the Republic Of Ireland :confused:

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

Has he??? i not heard he was confirmed as manager, just that the talks have been given the go ahead to speak with him after compensation was agreed, mmmm maybe McClaren took all the press :D

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

I have inside information :D:p

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

is our inside info correct??? hehehehe be a it of a shock to find McClaren there instead now he's unemployed :rofl38:

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

Burnley Football Club is delighted to announce that Owen Coyle has been appointed as new first team manager.


The 41-year-old leaves Scottish Division One side St Johnstone to take up his first managerial post south of the border.


Coyle, whose win ratio as a manager in Scotland was almost 50 per cent, has agreed a three-and-a-half-year deal at Turf Moor.


The former Bolton Wanderers striker, who has previously been offered three Scottish Premier League manager's positions, was formally unveiled at a media conference on Thursday morning.


Burnley chairman Barry Kilby said: "There were some outstanding candidates for the post, but Owen has all the credentials to make a success of his appointment.


"He is hungry for the opportunity to manage in England after an impressive start to his career in Scotland.


"The fact that Scotland manager Alex McLeish took time out from preparing his country's huge Euro 2008 qualifier against Italy to sing Owen's praises shows he has the support of some top people.

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

Well only time will tell if he is going to do well for Burnley, so dreams of free season ticket on hold for a year or 2 then :rofl38:

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

It's a shame Burnley jumped so quickly, McClaren's looking for a job! Although given his recent form it's unlikely anyone will want him!

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

wether he turns out a good manager or not, dont detract from the fact- theve appointed him cos its a " Cheap Option":p

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

We don't have the luxury of being subsidised like Premier leagues teams :p

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

true but am a bit surprised, the guy has no "league" experiance:confused: would have thought ya needed someone that knew his way around the "Lower leagues" cash not being plentiful down there.;)

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

I think there were 2 options available, your standard journeyman managers like Peter Reid, Mickey Adams etc, or there are those who are termed' up and coming'. The former have achieved naff all despite many attempts, the latter is a bit more exciting we hope. Even the greats can screw it up, ask Jose :D

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

agree with that,still think it would have been better with an "up and coming" that knew his way around the English leagues, nevertheless i wish him well.;)

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

steve cottril had no championship league experience at all as you put it but they still gave him the job..and the guy in question used to play for bolton so theoretically he has league experience.. and just because he has plyed his trade in scotland do you not think he hasnt been to the championship to watch games (scouting)? - of course he will have..
and I actually think he will do well as he's a good man manager he knows the game inside out..and it is a bold and both brave move by burnley - I have a lot of time for owen coyle and I may bob along and see him...say hello again:cool:...
and to the other poster who mentioned him playing for the republic...being scottish doesnt matter:confused: - he had irish parentage...therefore he qualified...how many english players play for both eire and the republic...more than you think..
I am not a burnley fan by any stretch but I will take an interest in them whilst mr coyles at the helm..

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

I think the previous reference was to the fact that OC has no English league experience at all as a manager, whereas Cotterill did have, not just at Championship level.

I think thats a good summing up.:)

I think that and his ambition is probably what got him the job. He seems to be well liked in the game, and a recommendation from Alex McLeish is testament to that.

Good Luck Owen, and welcome to Dingle land :D:D

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

the guy is mr scottish football..he has been around since I was a youngster going games in scotland and he only stopped playing a couple of seasons ago :eek: - there wont be a player he doesnt know about in scotland and he also spent time in holland studying ajaxs training set up and with borrusia dortmund to look at their youth development set up in order to get his coaching badges so he is fairly clued up on the game all in all - I really dont think not knowing the championship will daunt him..but it will be interesting to see if he brings any scottish players down with him as he's good at finding youngsters...
all in all burnley done their homework on him and may see the potential..

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

suggest you read post 60,not just 1 that suits.:p

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

oooh go on ,go on ,you know it makes sense.....(del boy) :rolleyz8: :thumbsup:

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

good luck to O.C. he'l need it :rolleyes:..;)

Re: Dingles without a manager
 

erm...let me think..nope !:D...I shall stick to the team I have supported since I was knee high...and secondly stanley..:cool:
