Mr Mosquito Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Well, Tinman was a cheap option, Millen was a cheap option, and McInnes was a cheap option appointment. No offence to them - especially Tinman as he was a legend - but why has this club got a recent history of not appointing a calibre proven manager at Championship level? OK, Steve Coppell could have hit it off here but he seemed to be in a hurry to leave almost as soon as he was appointed. I just get the idea that we'll be seeing a cheap option appointment again that'll see us relegated and cemented in Div 1 for the best part of a decade again. 20 games left, we don't need another cheap option manager if we're going to have any chance of staying up. Dalgleish and Warnock are the two I'd be chasing down to manage this club. Or else it's a cheap option manager again - but who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Dalglish? Are you absolutely off your rocker? Or am i missing the point and there's someone else out there with that surname?

Or am i missing the point and there's someone else out there with that surname? That is singularly the most insane thing i have ever read on here. Blackburn Rovers signed Kenny Dalglish in 1991, whom he led from the old Div 2 to win the Premiership title in 1995. My point is that if Steve Lansdown and Co want some real success and kudos then sign a capable manager. I wrote that we should sign Neil Warnock when Coppell walked out but I got shot down in flames for suggesting that as well. Simple really, sign a top calibre manager and give him a decent budjet or remain an also ran football club as we currently are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Dalglish = off your rocker. If you can find me a more ridiculous post today then I'll apologise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can find me a more ridiculous post today then I'll apologise. Why not Kenny Dalglish? Can you explain your reasoning? He's certainly worth approaching for the job of manager even if he only agrees to a 20 game tenure so as to help keep us in this division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 This cheap option thing is a nonsense. The board have never appointed a manager because he was cheaper, it makes no sense since the manager costs a fraction of the football budget and have so large an effect.

The Kaiser Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Millen was appointed because he was cheap. We have ALWAYS been a club that's underwhelmed with who we bring in because we never seem prepared to pay a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board have never appointed a manager because he was cheaper, it makes no sense since the manager costs a fraction of the football budget and have so large an effect. A decent manager can make a football club and a poor manager can break a football club. Too many poor managers over the years have seen us out of the FA Challenge Cup in round 3 in 6 successive years, we've also struggled for the past 3 seasons in the second tier of English football. Clubs in this division that genuinely want to progress and want Premiership football appoint capable managers - it's as simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Millen was appointed as Lansdown thought he deserved a chance. It's funny how some fans will always think the worst in any given situation. Moaners love to moan i suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, oppointing cheap option unproven managers seems to have cost this club far more in lost FA Cup gate receipts and lost season ticket sales than if they'd signed a top proven manager to start with.

Oh well, I didn't know that, Kenny Dalglish would have put a few thousand on our attendances and would have got the media buzzing around Ashton Gate. We still haven't appointed a manager as great as Harry Thickett in the 100 or so years since he left. Back to being a provincial backwater club I suppose.

In my lifetime I've seen Brian Clough win the top flight at Derby then he went on to take over Div 2 Nottingham Forest and bring them promotion and top flight glory. Kenny Dalglish won the top flight for Liverpool then he took over at Div 2 Blackburn and won them promotion and a top flight title. The managerial talent is available at a price to really get this club moving up the league. From when we were in Div 1 - 12 years ago - we've seen Wigan, Stoke and Reading leave that third tier of English football to now be playing in the Premiership - it can be done.

Oh it's the sags laughing on their board at suggestions from our fans that we go for Dalglish. Some people need to get a grip.

The Gas don't know what it feels like to see their club in the top flight of English football and playing the best in the land week in, week out. Let the Gas aspire to nothing as they have for the past 120 odd years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
