Fans perception of the appointment of Darren Kelly

[manshaw]

Maybe kelly and Holden are just a cheap stop gap until the stand revenue kicks in for next season when Dowie will come on board and these could be his back room staff...seems so left field to me that there must be a valid reason. In the meantime it boosts both their cv's...maybe no other candidates were prepared to accept a 12 month deal when we can reassess our finances.

 

Optimistic hopes but maybe Corney feels they are good enough to keep us up and will keep the better players on board until next year. Dowies press release in the Chron also adds weight to this...

 

Let's be honest appointing Dowie is as good a chance we have of bringing fans back and he may feel to genuinely challenge he needs a better budget which will only come on the back of one year of cutting back on costs tied in with the Stand income. The problem is you usually only have one season to deliver the positive feel factor to bring fans back and on this years budget Dowie may feel it could do more damage to his reputation and the potential of unveiling him as manager...

Would he be happy to manage us in League 2. Just saying like

I'll be there next season - will probably go to the first game whether it's away at Millwall or home to Crewe with the same excitement of any other season, once transfers are made and the hype is built - but Corney has worn my patience down to a nub.

 

Again it will be seen as a 'learning' season for a young, inexperienced rookie manager, but I don't think I will give Kelly the time I would have afforded Dickov or Johnson. It's nothing against Kelly, I will just judge us on the basis of what we should be achieving with the core of the squad and the momentum the stand should/should've given the club for the upcoming season, regardless of whether the new manager has a lifetime of experience or none at all. We had a genuine opportunity to push on upwards from this 6 or 7 year slump below 15th place, yet we've gone for a hit and hope with the cheapest option.

 

I'm not arsed about his words (or his politics) or his inexperience, I just want results and something exciting to make me feel a little less devoid of apathy, when I know we should be capable.

Based on :censored: all other than the hope you can say "told you so" in a year's time.

:censored: - I've been rumbled already...

While us plebs were eating and drinking Barry was trawling OWTB.

 

Good grief....

The phrase Copper's Nark immediately springs to mind for some reason.

[RoyleArmy1994]

Looking at what DK and DH already have to work with before the transfer window opens. Coleman, B.Wilson, J.Wilson, T.Dieng, Mills, Kelly, Jones, Winchester, Philliskirk, Poleon and Forte. That's a fairly strong starting 11 right there regardless of transfers. If DK can add a few others and perhaps keep hold of everyone (bar say Kelly who will no doubt go to Barnsley), with the right tactics and management, perhaps we could be on to something next season...

Agree with all of this.

I'll be judging on the actions not the words.

And as we have already been down the motivational bull before, I won't be buying into it at all.

I just hope it inspires the payers.

But if we have a good season, there will be no one happier my fears were unfounded than me. I want to be wrong.

That is a plus point, though not as mentally strong as I would like.

We certaintly are starting from a stronger base then the previous rookies had.

He's deleted his twitter.... Probably a wise move.

Looking at that the other way - what a great opportunity it would have been for various managers to come and work with, and improve, an already half decent squad......

Thanks for taking my buzz away harry...

OWTB should charge him pay per view.

[kowenicki]

Reflection after a day or so looking at everything thats out there, listening to him and others...

 

One thing that re-assures me is he at least sounds as though he isnt a compete thicko. Half a brain goes a long way in the world of football as it is about 45% more than most in the game have.

 

I'm a little more relaxed and wil see where this goes.

 

Glad he has seen sense and deleted his twitter account and I will watch the closed season with interest.

 

BUT.. can someone teach him how to tie his tie properly!!

What does that mean

[RoyleArmy1994]

I've noticed there is a gap for the role of 'first team coach'. Does anyone reckon DK will bring in his own? It would be good to have the First Team Manager, Assistant Manager, First Team Coach and Goalkeeping/Fitness coach all raring do go for pre season at the same time... don't think we had this with LJ

Damage already done.

Probably saving a wage by having no first team coach, I'd agree with that, the two of them should be able to manage at this level.

An early, quality signing might placate a few........

Jay Emmanuel -Thomas has been released by Bristol City, I might have a rethink if he's signed.

The money saved on a first team coach could go toward his wages.

I'm mellowing.

 

I like the lack of bull:censored: in that press briefing. How he wants to "get all this out of the way"

[Nohairdontcare]

Martin McGuinness has wished him well apparently - let the outrage get even more outraged!

[jw_oldh857]

for me it's the here an now

if our budget for next season is 1.5 mil I'd pay a rosler or a dowie to manage us

add a few to the good team we have an North stand open onwards and upwards

instead we end up with this

[Monty Burns]

I cant believe I cant believe it!!!

I mean what did they expect? To repeatedly tell us just waity waity sshhhh this is so important its going to take us months sshhhh

Just his lack of anything is obvs going to cause some ripples, but nobody checked what happens if you use a computer and type his name? A complete unknown bloke? In the walking internet age? I mean who :censored:ing carries a portable device that they live their life thru and use for information?

Or they did and found it fine?

Unreal.

Un :censored:ing real.
