I even posted it on one of the other topics earlier in the week. *Everybody, it seems, apart from Frankie Bunn... It did happen once yesterday. Gerrard was caught isolated facing his own goal with Surridge pressing him... but experience won out over youth in the end with Surridge putting his hands on Gerrard’s back resulting in a free kick to Carlisle. I suppose you could say that experience won in the battle of the respective managers too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudemedic Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 @League one forever Frankie Bunn scored 26 league goals in 78 appearances. Lee Hughes scored 25 league goals in 55 appearances. OK Lee Hughes is a knob and Bunn's 6 goals in one game will likely remain a league cup record for a long time. But to say Frankie Bunn is a club legend is stretching it a tad, especially the limited (or non) role he played in the promotion season. Furthermore he was recommended by Detective Shitpeas, a man who is on record saying that we weren't going for promotion because we couldn't afford it. Frankie Bunn had applied for the job before, what changed to give him the job this time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie Bunn had applied for the job before, what changed to give him the job this time? Yeah, fair point. Legend is probably streching it a bit. I also agree his appointment was odd. But he’s here, and while the football is poor results have been steady. Lots of rookie managers have made worse starts than Bunn. Plus he has an affinity with the club. I think he’s worth sticking with till Christmas at least to see if he can get us going. If he can’t- he goes. Like any other manager. I find it amusing that deyers42 thought sacking wellens was harsh after only six months and after he played his part in our relegation. His favourite quote at the time was ‘the sample size of games isn’t enough to judge’ An yet he wants Bunn sacked before we’ve played a game. Bizarre.

Considering he went from putting the cones out one day to manager the next Wellens did well when the working conditions were calm, when things got tough he understandably didn't have all the answers, perhaps if Lemsagam hadn't foisted Byrne back on him things might have worked out different. Bunn has years of coaching experience behind him and presumably has been building towards becoming a manager for much of that time, you wouldn't know it from what we have seen so far.

But to say Frankie Bunn is a club legend is stretching it a tad, especially the limited (or non) role he played in the promotion season. Bunn's record stands over a period (and one season in particular) when the club started to establish themselves on the footballing map. Played at Wembley in the final of a major trophy, scored a legendary(!) six goals in one game and helped set the foundations for us to win promotion to the top flight. Possibly not worthy of having a stand named after him, but a legend nonetheless.. Edited October 7, 2018 by JoeP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacking Managers has just become a repetitive bore at OAFC. The same failures at Board level will choose the next one then sack him and so on.

The same failures at Board level will choose the next one then sack him and so on. It’s a results driven business. If results are poor, then any manager at any club comes under pressure. However results are steady, so I see no reason to look at Bunn’s position at the minute. If by Christmas the football is still poor, and crucially if results really dip. Then he will be under pressure and rightly so. I take your point about our appointments though, if we got right. The revolving door would stop.
