lukejones2 Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Personally, and I know there are people who would disgree, I think that calling BT's reign disastrous is a little harsh. He does seem dismissive of Millen in this article but I think that probably (and I am surmising only here) reflects a disappointment in the fact that he was unable to land an experienced assistant. I don't know why he didn't/couldn't but he would have probably done better with one. I think perhaps he was close but then had quite a good spell and it became a less urgent issue.I maintain than Tins had the right idea and that all GJ is doing is continuing his work but with more experience. Tins, cheers for the intentions, cheers for the good football at times, cheers for some good memories and cheers for starting to try and stop the drinking culture that had set in. I am as disappointed as you that you aren't still in the job now leading a promotion charge but I wish you all the best in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider Red Sam Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Interesting to note someone called John Murphy has replied half way down the page relating to Simon Grayson's appointment at Blackpool. Wonder if its the John Murphy (as in the Blackpool striker John Murphy). Suppose it could just be some Blackpool fan pretending to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 PersonallyI think that calling BT's reign disastrous is a little harsh. Agreed, it was total rubbish and if there had been an experienced "assistant" around, he should have got the job instead of tins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signs were there last season of the Swampsea caning. Had he been patieent and learned from others first, he COULD have been one of the great city managers, but he didnt, and he aint. One good idea, lost in the swirl of drifting mediocrity don't make a good manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NATCHER Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Tins, cheers for starting to try and stop the drinking culture that had set in. Who signed The Romeo Browns Four and how did this "stop the drinking culture that had set in" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have had the courage to have said I.'m not ready yet, but his ego got the better of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of us would of been able to turn it down? I know I couldn't if I was in his position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegC Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Everyone seems to agree that he couldn't cut it as manager at that time. He made some good decisions (Brooker, Russell) and some not so good (Grant Smith, Partridge etc.) As far as I'm concerned he will always be a ledge. Great 'servant' etc...etc...and I'm sure that he has a great deal to offer in some capacity, albeit maybe not a managerial one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
