oafc-latics Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 That's exactly why he'd leave. 'Cause he knows £1mil is what he'd have to spend to keep Dale in League One. His team is falling apart. Tom Kennedy has gone, Dagnall is on the verge of going, Dawson looks like he'll be sold. They've released a ton of players. He's got a Rochdale promotion now on his C.V, maybe he'd fancy a new challenge. ....like getting on Oldham promotion on his C.V. :P wheres kennedy gone? if it was for free then we've missed a good player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Ronnie Moore Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 wheres kennedy gone? if it was for free then we've missed a good player Sorry, not gone just yet. Like Dagnall he's in talks with Scunthorpe apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookers_Carl Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 Will they be losing Dagnall and Kennedy for free or will they be getting fee's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Ronnie Moore Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 (edited) Both are 24 years old so I don't think Dale get anything. Could be wrong though. Edited May 23, 2010 by Bring Back Ronnie Moore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
County boy Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Bumped into a County old boy yesterday who may or may not have played for you lot in the past and is still in touch with one or two at BP. He told me the three being interviewed this week are Frankie Bunn, Lee Richardson and Mark Crossley. Make of that what you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much doubt Lee richardson is not being interviewed for the job, although I have been wrong before. The other two, probable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I'm sure he said on the fishul site that he himself couldn't commit to the club due to having to keep flying to and from the USA so it would be better if he left. Think he said he's flew 8 or 9 times since coming on board and it's took it's toll on him so thought it would be better to leave. Which is the equivalent of an MP stepping down "to spend more time with the family". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Which is the equivalent of an MP stepping down "to spend more time with the family". 6 months later they invariably take on a new ministerial role that absolutely ensures they see a lot less of said family.

HarryBosch Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Gray+ Financially viable appointment and although this would be a gamble, if it didnt work we wouldn't have to pay off a contract wouldn't we??? why not??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookers_Carl Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 wouldn't we??? why not??? Sorry, I meant lengthy contract, ie 2 year contract. Gray is already on the wage bill, there is nothing to prevent us offering him the position on his present contract, which has a year to run, hence whatever we would have to pay him off if it didnt work would be minimal. Its not like Penney who had over a year to run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Think he would be an excellent choice as built steadily and uses youth well. Just cant see him wanting a change right now on back of promotion perhaps he can be the next one at Christmas? but he wouldn't get the chance to build steadily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have met Bunn... Cant imagine him as our Manager, good coach but he is Media shy... we need a manager media and fans focused ! Gannon the guy is a live wire, the club can ill afford a lose cannon ! Crossley and or Andy Liddell just like lee Richardson.... old boys that fans remeber fondly yet will turn on quicker ! Bring stability to the club, bring consistancy to the coaching set up, bring a familiar face to the players/fans... Bring in Martin Gray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcprozac Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Little Birdy Tells Me... Crossley's got it - absolutely nothing to substantiate this but hey what the hell thought I'd share the info, Brother-in-law is normally spot on. Told me Royle was replacing Shez three days before it happened and Penney was getting the boot the day before he actually did. However, lots of complete bollocks from him over the years. So we shall see. If it is lardarse I say give him a go - the lad has worked under Cloughie, Frank Clark, Bassett,Venables, Robson, McClaren, Tigana, Coleman and whoever was managing Wales- so he's got a decent pedigree oh and he also knows how now to do it by spending 3 years with Shez...
