Shakes Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Shocked with this, he could be the next best thing what do we know ? but once again Corney has chosen the cheap option, I'll give him a chance but it's so important for him that he gets off to a really good start or thier will be chaos ! Can imagine a fair few will give it a miss next season after this unless we start off well, baffled as to how this guy will work can't imagine he will have many decent contacts ? What signings will he make ? Also cant imagine he will command much respect from players as he hadent had the best of careers and only previous coaching experience with kids ! I just hope and pray agreed, needs to make some inspired signings, and get off to a good start. Not the best or most inspiring appointment, but i hope he can prove himself.

Gaz_Oafc Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 He's cheap and he's got a badge... That's the ONLY reason he's got this job. We should have expected the worst when Mark Yates agent started banging on about our budget on Twitter. I've got a feeling given the statement on the O/S about rebuilding means that Corneys already put the wheels in motion re. player sales. I was always going to have to try and justify a season ticket next season and the new stand buzz this past week and the talk of Dowie had convinced me to renew but I'm out.

PlayItLivo Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Tranmere hired an inexperienced coach as their manager at the start of last season, and gave the man acting caretaker-manager the assistant's job. It didn't work out well for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midsblue Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 OK... he's been introduced at the awards dinner. Admittedly I'm disillusioned and my frustrations are aimed more at our board than the man himself. Whilst he'll have a shorter honeymoon period than most and is obviously a very cheap option, he's now our new manager. He wants to meet the fans, which is a very brave move. Suggest he starts by clearing up his comments via Twitter and now acting like a football manager who will be responsible as the voice of the club. He's stated that he wants to bring creative and attractive football to the club and already has a list of targets. Let's see who he signs, who he manages to retain and the style of play he delivers in the pitch. I'm prepared to give him a chance. I hope he proves us all wrong.

deyres42 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 He may well say it on the radio tomorrow but I just think a bit of honesty would go a long way at times like this. "We can't get near to offering Dowie or anyone like that what they want with wages and budget so I want us to be a club that gives young coaches an opportunity as well as our own players" Most people could go along with that I'd say.

Lags Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I guess so. I havent got the time or money to waste on the club as it is now With that, I can understand and accept. It's the real reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer1 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) This time next year we will posting on here about what a good time we had today at the open top bus ride to celebrate the championship?

Blue_Guru Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Wouldn't put it past them now that this was a clever plot to drive as many fans out of the club slowly so they can bulldoze it to the ground with less resistance an build tesco on it.

RobOAFC Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 A very good point, we know the stand won't start paying for itself for another year. Isn't the Sports Direct money meant to kick in soon?

Clifford Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 If money was the main point surely they would have given it to Holden, it means they truely think he's right for the job. Holden might have been outbid? Money talks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archiecat Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Should at least be plenty of pay on the day seats in the new stand. Hope the lad does well but it's just so Meh ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor_Coconut Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Who the hell buys a season ticket before we have a proper manager in place? Deserve to be fleeced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z3spacial Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 any credibility the club had left (and let's face it, there isn't much) has now gone. Giving the job to a guy with no experience, no great career and no status has made us a laughing stock. We will get out of this division sooner than we expected, but not in the way we want. I'll still turn up, but more out of duty than want. I was worried when we appointed LJ, and yes, he did ok, but can we see this guy coming close ?

melia Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 This could be the one that bites Simon on the arse, I'm praying it turns out to be a master stroke but the reality is that it's ridiculously underwhelming and kills any positive momentum we had going re the new stand!

And awake... I reserve the right to say I told you so if this actually happens! We actually managed to win the title by selling Conor Brown for £3millilon, which helped us strengthen the squad in other areas.
