Twisbrogan Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Reliable. Dowie was in the bag a few days ago according to Askam. He didn't say that. He said he'd be deciding over the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsLen Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Surley it's going to be Phil Brown he was sat with Corney yesterday in the directors box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Not happy with Corney however... If he comes, which looks increasingly likely, I will support him. Not what I want whatsoever, just told my City supporting Dad who said we must be mad to appoint him, but the club needs our support, as do the players and a manager who is going to have a tough job on his hands. Hope we can bring in a good experienced head alongside him and also hope that his Dad has taught him well. We have to work with what we have. .

If this happens then i really will not know what to say, but ill be keeping my money in my pocket for the hartlepool game, it would be typical corney going for the cheap option when we are in so much :censored:.

oafc_fan Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Who ever it is will have a job on their hands to turn this around. Miracle needed. At the moments its all black smoke around Boundary Park with no sign of white smoke or light at the end of the tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 He didn't say that. He said he'd be deciding over the next few days. I did just look for the Tweet in question. Either I missed it or he's deleted it. I don't recall it being what you say though. Assuming the Lee Johnson story is true I'm clutching straws like "his Dad may have aught him well". :censored: me, we've even got to play Yeovil.

oafc-latics Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 If it's Johnson, then he's a total unknown as there's as much chance as him being good as taking us down. I'll give him a chance because there's no point doing a Benitez and attacking the team. But... if there isn't an experienced assistant with him then Corney will show he hasn't learnt from Dickov. I'd hope he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmer1 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 at this moment in time I just want someone with stability I another who would be delighted with Dowie If you tell me it Brown then a few months maybe even weeks ago I would have ben upset but at this moment I think Brown with the assistance of Brian Horton is just whats needed.

NewBlue Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 This ....but can't see someone like this imposing authority on and respect among seasoned professionals quickly enough to get results. I think you either have to work your way to have authority by either being a top-flight player (like Dickov was) or having success as a manager. This guy has neither of them.

LaticMark Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 The Lee Johnson rumours continue. http://www.dailymail...s_campaign=1490 Unless it's all a psychological ruse so that we're all relieved when it's Phil Brown, with Brian Horton as his assistant and Johnson as player coach!!

longtimeblue Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 BBC TV sports reporter in the North West. Ah right, just assumed he was a fan. Googled him and know who he is now. All this cryptic :censored: does my head I though... If he knows, may as well just say. He's given enough info for it to come out anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
