bossrocks Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 PD will be gutted for him. Seems harsh - they're mid-table and hardly a big club. Foreign chairman must be expecting more what with splashing £800k on a striker though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldhamathleticmad Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 It was probably his wife who sacked him! Judging on recent stories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oafc88 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) Probably is due to other circumstances. It was only the other day there was a thread on here saying their local rag had stopped coverage and they seemed to take some digs at Bradbury, as well as the club, in the statement they released on the situation.

oldhamandy1 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 They have spent a lot and weren't great at our place yesterday, as good as we were I think a team with their budget should have beaten us (with our weakened team). It also doesn't help when you ban the local paper and fall out with the journalists for printing the word 'Immature' as headline, despite the fact that is how you described the team's performance.

I've seen teams come here this season play worse and win a stone wall penatly turned down one cleared of the line and we managed to absorb alot of pressure late on without letting in a stupid goal a rare occurance for us recently. However I think it comes down to new owners who don't know the dynamics of football if you watch that documentary of QPR recently you may get a similar example.

Bouremouth had the sort of bad luck we have been getting yesterday and could possibly have come away with a good result, what would the owners have done then ? He recently brought in Zavon Hines, a good player who I wouldn't mind seeing at BP. Edited March 25, 2012 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not totally uncommon for owners particularly the more volatile ones to sack managers after victories these days its the crazy world we live in today. It also proves that although we need investment we need the right type of investors preferably not ones who think they can throw a few million quid at it and get to the champions league, but ones who have the long term interests of the club at hear and not someone on an ego trip.

opinions4u Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) I suspect we could do worse than install Bradbury as our number two. EDIT: That reads so wrong. As Dickov's assistant. Edited March 25, 2012 by opinions4u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Was looking at their boards this week before the game and pretty much to a man they wanted him out before this weekend. Seemed he had a few supporters but they all disappeared when he sent Fletcher out on loan to Plymouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisbrogan Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 They probably wanted to see if their local paper would print it. Given the transfer fees they've shelled out (relative to ours) and given their position in the table (relative to ours) its difficult to be surprised about it. I think it also highlights (despite recent murmurings) the very decent job being done by Dickov in getting us to compete against teams with transfer budgets of any kind.

opinions4u Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Have any other managers been sacked after losing to the Latics ? Parry at Tranmere. Notts County sacked two managers after playing us last season. Ince and Short (I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc joe Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Very harsh on Bradbury IMO, how many players have Bournemouth sold over the last year, yet they're still comfortablly mid table, very harsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobOAFC Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Have any other managers been sacked after losing to the Latics ? Megson when at Forest. We won 3-0 I think? Under Moore, with Taylor making his debut that night I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosa Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I know they didn't sack him for another couple of months, but i'd like to think we can take credit for Notts County sacking Martin Allen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Very harsh on Bradbury IMO, how many players have Bournemouth sold over the last year, yet they're still comfortablly mid table, very harsh But they also spent in excess of £1m in transfer fees alone (£800k for Tubbs!). They should at least be on the edge of the playoffs. Bradbury's not really convinced me as a manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
