Fans perception of the appointment of Darren Kelly

[dec666]

I'll still go to most games next season even if I tell myself now that I won't.

 

I was going to buy a season ticket though, won't be now.

[BP1960]

Repeating the same baseless opinion over and over doesn't make it any more true.

Come next season if he provides exciting attacking football at BP I gladly will hold up my hands to you and eat humble pie.

Also, if he brings in a winger as good as your user name was I'll be extatic and happy to join the pay on the gate queue.

Some yes votes suddenly appear. Latics Staff had a text? Nobody owning up to them though...

[frizzell54]

No longer any mention of appointment on Kelly's Wikipedia nor have I seen any announcement on any other site.

[brierleys555]

any links to his mention of the IRA ?

[kowenicki]

any links to his mention of the IRA ?

There aren't any. He just appears to support Sinn Fein, which are two different things these days.

[Monty Burns]

any links to his mention of the IRA ?

Dont think he did.

[opinions4u]

I'm still hoping he's Tommy Wright's replacement and Holden's going back to his old job ...

If your going to the awards night you'll meet him there from what I'm led to believe!

I will still go - I HAVE to - there's nowhere else I can shout me head off for 90mins dressed as a giraffe without getting arrested but this appointment is a let-down!

We gambled on LJ and it paid off (til he buggered off) but really chancing it expecting 2 untried coaches to do well -it's a hell of a gamble- and this political bollox doesn't help one little bit - it's unnecessary baggage - feeling let down - but will be there next season hopefully shouting again and not sat there with me head in me hands (I don't do booing!)

[Blue_Guru]

Is it the end of season do tonight??

[diggleblue]

We got the directors to drop the Evans signing ,lets hope they understand our feelings about Kelly as manager. 2 season tickets in our house not renewing because of this Mr Corney. 2 friends who are ex season ticket holders would have come back if Dowie appointed.

I clicked yes. Why? Because the question was, are you in favour of DK being appointed? It doesn't mean he was my first choice, but i'm willing to give him a chance. Gaining your Pro License is no mean feat, especially with him being an 'unknown' name. Now he could turn out to be :censored:, but equally could be a great find, but its the same risk with any appointment.

[Blue_Guru]

End of season awards seems like a nice safe environment to announce something like this...won't be safe on here mind once the news spreads!

[super_blue]

The dressing room has been the best it's been all season under Deano I am told so retaining him alongside an unknown will be essential to keep some of our players from jumping ship if offers come in!

Same risk with any appointment? Really? No there isn't. There is significantly more risk with someone that has zero management experience, no connections and a poor playing career. The licenses aren't difficult, dont believe what you hear.

[Fergie]

There aren't any. He just appears to support Sinn Fein, which are two different things these days.

[Fergie]

What planet do you live on to come out with a statement like that.

Are you for real?!

So which of our previous managers who had prvious experience did well? How do you no he has no connections? Poor playing career means bugger all. Badges aren't difficult? No they aren't if you are a good coach, to even get on the Pro License you have to be invited. He is not some sunday pub team manager, yes he lacks the experience at this level but so have coutless others who have gone on to do well. Like i've already said, he could turn out to be :censored:, but so could Dowie.

The best the dressing room has been???? Just a pity that the results have been terrible and relegation form.

[Main Stand Banter]

At least a pub team manager has actually managed a team!!!!!

[kowenicki]

What do you mean? Are you saying everyone that votes Sinn Fein these days agreed with terrorist activity? I disagree, but this is off topic really and not that relevant. If he wants to support Sinn Fein that's up to him, but I suggest he keeps it to himself.

I prefer to lessen the chances of failure. This, on the face of it, has disaster written all over it. I really, really hope I'm wrong.

Appointing him is a risk, but appointing Holden as his assistant greatly increases the risk. However we are club that has to take risks until we can push the boat out and attract a 'less risky' manager.
