Re: New Manager
 

The guy's only been in the job five minutes and already the sniping's started. Would've expected better from you, Shakey.

Re: New Manager
 

agreed on both counts.


anyways, on with the drum Beating (see what I did there?) ... James get at those disillusioned Rovers fans and players and get the mini revolution going :gooddog:

Re: New Manager
 

Sniping, really? Have said I'll support him and I will all the way. Only said that I hope the reasons behind the decision are just. Surely that's a fair concern as a fan of the club? Crikey.

Re: New Manager
 

You've said that you hope the reasons behind the decision are just? Don't think you did, Shakey. You did, however, say appointing him isn't "a sensible football decision" which to my way of thinking is a bit of an insult to him. At least, give him a chance to show what he can do!

Re: New Manager
 

Well unless yer totally thick, its obvious to me the players have either been asked or put in there 2 pennorth on this appointment,before it happened.

Re: New Manager
 

Re: New Manager
 

I have voiced concerns that appointing him isn't a sensible football decision - rather than 'sniping' this is a genuine critique based on the lack of managerial experience or qualifications of JB. Elsewhere on the forum I raised my opinion that our board has a lack of football-minded input and my concern is that the decision has been made purely on a financial basis, taking advantage of the fact that Beattie has (brilliantly so) charged us very little for his services so far and offered public relations opportunities.

I have, however, stated very plainly that I will support him all the way. I hope for the very best for him as that will mean good things for my club.

Have tried to stick around on here in spite of all the nonsense but obviously the disease of this forum - the inability to separate fair critique from personal insult - has spread too far. Apologies if I've offended anyone, I'm off.

Re: New Manager
 

Wow, ok. Cheers mate.

Re: New Manager
 

Must admit Cashy I read Shakers post in a more positive light,few reservations,but will get 100% support,I did warn you there would be a surprise !!

Re: New Manager
 

Stop sulking shaker, its sod all personal, no good spitting yer dummy out.;)

Re: New Manager
 

Gents, come on,this is supposed to be a good day and a day for celebration. This is a forum, therefore it is about opinion......

We are ALL in it for the same thing......

:) :) :)

Re: New Manager
 

Can't help but think the club have made the right call. Whilst Beattie is untried as a manager, the players considering their contracts will all know him so there is continuity (hope the backroom staff are retained too). It also shows ambition by the club who could have gone for the 'safe' option that many of us feared, yeh good call, new broom and all that. :)

Re: New Manager
 

Bloody ell it,s kickin off already and DAV007 ain,t even here yet "wheres me tin hat" haha.


ANYWAYS CONGRATULATIONS JAMES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stanley till I die

Re: New Manager
 

Every manager gets 100% backing from me and Beatties no exception.Looking forward not backwards and see what rabbits he can pull out of the hat !!
Players like him,so that's a start,but as Leam learned you have to distance yourself (he will know that tho)

Re: New Manager
 

He's been writing it for the last hour,but still not finished :)

Re: New Manager
 

Appointing Beattie is a risk but a somewhat calculated one given his fame, determination to prove himself and the inevitable extra coverage the club will pick up having Beattie as manager.

Is he still intending on playing?
Any news on a number 2?

Re: New Manager
 

Dunno should come to light in tomorrows interview i think. Agree wi yer comment n also possible to attract sponsorship?

Re: New Manager
 

Re: New Manager
 

You would presume it gives our commercial team an extra feather in their cap so to speak

Im dissapointed it was not Jimmy & John BUT im DELIGHTED we havent ended up with a journeyman manager.

Time to start planning the James beattie banner

Re: New Manager
 

I never thought I'd say this but...well said, Davo! :D

Re: New Manager
 

Hi Ian. I was well pleased for Wigan, thoroughly deserved it. I think their doomed for the drop though, will lose their Manager and be playing derbies with Stanley in a couple of years.:D

As for PNE? Now the clown Westley has been replaced by Grayson, i suspect they might just make a push for the play offs next season.

Surprising news at Stanley, might just be an inspired choice. I was sure JC and his puppet where coming back. It should be an interesting summer and pre-season to see what sort of player he can attract.

Re: New Manager
 

Agree 100% a journeyman was the last thing needed in my view. Everyones gotta start somewhere, n yeh it don't always work we all know that, But in our situation, feel its well worth trying.:)

Re: New Manager
 

If anyone wants to see an example of a journeyman money grabber, check out who is providing in studio updates of the championship play off game on Sky sports news.
He has been a disaster since he took over at Southend, and it the rumours are correct is picking up £200k plus a big bonus IF he gets them up.
At least the Southend board wont have to pay the bonus on top of those huge wages!

I can only predict of the 100 candidates, a good chunk would have been journeymen after their next pay check.
Well done Peter Marsden and co for not going down that route.

Re: New Manager
 

Didn't think the term 'journeyman' fitted JB, but as it is translated as ;-
' Someone who has completed an apprenticeship and is fully educated in a trade or craft, but not yet a 'master'.
To become a 'master', a journeyman has to submit a master work.'...
So really all James has to do is to produce as HIS master work Stanley's promotion to League One ( This time as well !)...

Re: New Manager
 

Great news, not only about Mr Beattie, but also for the club that the new manager has most of the summer (sic) to organise things, rather than having to spend the first three months of the playing season doing so. Well done to the board for making a good and timely decision, and all the best to James Beattie in his new career.

Re: New Manager
 

What is his policy on Christmas partys?

Re: New Manager
 

If you get invited you're his mate :)

Re: New Manager
 

Everyone's invited EXCEPT DAV007 ......AKA (Mrs.Coleman?)

Re: New Manager
 

Stuck in a hotel room in London and my BlackBerry is hard work for posting. Very pleased with the news and with the feeling of renewed unity on here!

Re: New Manager
 

Am near certain everyone will get behind the new manager, no matter who personal choices were, End of the day its Stanley, simple as.

Re: New Manager
 

Think the only problem Betts will find is the same as any new manager who is still playing or just finished and hung up the boots, is making the transition

Re: New Manager
 

Shaker, believe me, not true ;) :) :) :)

Re: New Manager
 

Dont think anyone has mentioned the back room staff staying,real good move if they are,and will assist in the transition period.
Like a lot of people,Beattie seems to have been bitten by the Acci bug :D

Re: New Manager
 

Re: New Manager
 

I've been told they are staying on but not seen owt official yet. Can't see Lodgey going anywhere he has a proper job as well as Stanley :D

Re: New Manager

BBC Radio Lancashire - Sport, 14/05/2013

Re: New Manager
