I think it's a great choice. He has great experience throughout football and he will have many contacts thanks to his experience. His name alone could draw in more sponsorship too.
New Manager
- Thread starter smobile
- Start date
The guy's only been in the job five minutes and already the sniping's started. Would've expected better from you, Shakey.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.

Wow, ok. Cheers mate.
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 !!
Stop sulking shaker, its sod all personal, no good spitting yer dummy out.
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. 
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

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)

He's been writing it for the last hour,but still not finished
Dunno should come to light in tomorrows interview i think. Agree wi yer comment n also possible to attract sponsorship?
As Valarian rightly says Shaker, this day when again our Club has arrived at a satisfactory resolution of a major problem is not for recrimination, blame, or needless criticism but for sharing in the pleasure of a task completed which will hopefully result in success for the Team and Fans alike.
I can appreciate your reaction to much of the negative persiflage which has been posted lately, but I for one would ask that you might see fit to continue making your welcome contributions to the analysis and banter on our Forum.
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
