Rapier like wit there Mr Jagger....., my little sunbeam

Jagger loves his puns!

 

But under Talbot, samba football wasn't exactly the norm at BP.

Quality

 

Or his email address....

 

Or they might be Facebook friends.....

 

The more means of communication I realise they have the more I think this is definitely going to happen...

 

You wouldn't Skype or Facetime him though, would you....

Made me chuckle, whilst all giddy getting ready for a BDF

Is this another puntastic post?

 

Either way, I don't think he will suit us.

Whoooooosh.

 

They were golf puns, weren't they

A big draw?

I don't think so.

Are you being serious, he will not be a big draw?

I definitely think Taylor is made for us, so if he is appointed, do you think crowds will fade away?

Peter taylor in the running

Taylor is made for us, i agree his last job he was below par, he would be a big draw, to bring the crowds back, he just needs a slice of luck, would he re locate, he lives a fairway away?

 

 

Surely he is Brian Talbot-esque only working with comparatively big budget?

I felt success was just on the horizon for Talbot.

Mickey mellon was decent at Fleetwood and his team always played good football until he was sacked for trying to manoevre himself into the Blackpool job...

Give me a good Mellon any day

 

Corney is guilty of backing his manager. That's all he's ever done. He did it from day one, when most were screaming at him for backing a nobody.Telling him to :censored: off would have given him an excuse for walking - oh, boo hoo, the chairman won't back me.

 

My main point is that little :censored: is a :censored: house who gave the impression he had nothing to do with the affair. HE wanted Evans, SC backed him and then took the flack for him. 'Nothing to do with me...all the chairman's fault'.

 

He's not just a gob:censored:e, he's a devious little :censored: who put the club through the ringer and then started applying for jobs elsewhere. He may have some promise, but he has no integrity, no personality and is never to be trusted.

So are you pro Johnson or anti, i'm a little unsure?

New manager/new stand/ reduced season ticket prices = best chance we will have to significantly increase numbers

In fact i would buy two & also buy two more and donate them to children to encourage younger supporters.

How many did Bradford increase season ticket sales by, when they did a similar thing?

One of the stay away fans, due to circumstances & also said would not go on a regular basis, until the new stand was built..

Two £100 season tickets for me please

Maybe there is someway fans can register there interest in a discounted season ticket but the final cost is dictated by numbers who sign up to the idea. It may bgive the reassurrance SC needs to offer the deal. Eg. 7000 equates to £100; 6000 equates to £150, 5000 equates to £200 etc etc. If 5000 dont pre register their interest, normal prices apply?

Good idea

Interesting Simon said if we could guarantee 7,000 season ticket holders he would reduce season ticket prices to £100

Asking about referee's get the plant pot of

Dear Simon (Please pass this email to Simon Corney)

Although a Main Stand season ticket holder I am not a ‘Main Stand Moaner’ and despite being a Kentish Man living in Yorkshire, Oldham Athletic is the only football team I have supported. I bought my first season ticket 25 years ago during the Royle years but have remained a loyal supporter through the long years in league 1.

 

You and I both know that this is, by virtue of the low attendance and Financial Fair Play, a club which sits in the bottom of League 1 rightly facing relegation fears. You also know that the only way to gain promotion to the Championship, as it can no longer be bought, is to find a good manager and then support him so that with our very limited resources he can improve and build a good team.

 

I congratulate you on finding that manager. I applauded your capture of Lee Johnson - a man speaking common sense in English and avoiding all the usual football cliches, an intelligent man with a plan. I was delighted with the four year contract and the support you have given him in particular the improvement of the team in the January window when you didn’t sell any players.

 

What I want to know is why. Why didn’t you tell Barnsley to look elsewhere? Why have you reportedly accepted compensation of just £200k when Johnson has already made the club so much more on astute transfer deals? Why have you let him go when we have a chance of finishing 6th? Why have you removed all hope of promotion by confirming that anyone in the players or staff is for sale? Why?

 

Supporters need hope, hope that one day we can compete for promotion. If everyone uses the club as a stepping stone then eventually we will sink into League 2, receipts will drop again and there we will stay facing the prospect of relegation from the Football league.

 

What the club has done does not make business sense. At worst you could have persuaded Johnson to stay until the end of season and then seek work elsewhere.

 

Without hope there is no point being a supporter. I need your explanation so I can decide if I am going to renew my season ticket.

Copy of my email to the club.

Agree with the above in terms of supporters need hope, i personally think Johnston is very ambitious & Corney had no choice in the matter

Compensation hopefully goes into finishing the new stand, which needs to be finished as soon as possible in order to bring much needed revenue into the club, thus giving us hope for the future.

We need to build a bridge over our troubled waters at the moment, Pressley would be perfect for that.

Coventry fans will be bitter, i think we should treat there skepticism with, suspicious minds

More likely to be Elvis Presley, as he would be the cheaper option.

We all know it will be some untried, untested young newbie...etc., etc.

Think he his the stand out candidate, i think we should have a little less conversation & appoint him.

Its now or never if we want to appoint him?

If we appointed him today that's all right, with me.

Steven Pressley

Yates surely wouldn't be near the top of our list.

 

Davies would annoy the hell out of people but would do a great job. Doubt we could afford him though.

 

As for Warburton? I know we've risen recently but we aren't really on a roll and he will see any rumour of him come here as being half-baked.

Look again at the username.

 

I'm not going to rise to this. It'll only turn into a bun fight.

Yates would be a decent appointment, he would do things in the right spirit and maybe just the tonic we are looking for

If Mark Yates got the job, I reckon I would throw up..

Are you being bitter?

There is no could be about it. Plus the size of our club means we are miles away. He will easily get another Championship Club, about 30x the budget of ours.

 

Here was the investment before they went up. £15m + buying the land.

Their playing budget is £11m, 11x ours.

Stevie you are not being serious here surely?

Read my thread again please, you will eventually see what i mean?
