nzlatic Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 If AL is serious about selilng, then there's no future for Mo at the club. If he's in Germany a lot, then why not end it now with him and tell him to step away. We have an opportunity to bring in a club legend, who has done this for us twice before, will galvanise a large number of the fan base and almost certainly put more bums on seats. Also, he knows the club and the facilities, so there'll be no period of getting used to it or shock about how shit it all is! If AL wants to deliver on the promises of his recent statement, he'll appoint Shez, tell Mo to keep away from the club, do his absolute best to maximise revenue from selling youngsters to pay off the loan and give a bit of budget to Shez for him to bring the players he needs before the end of the window. Then market the absolute chuff out of an 11 game mini season ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even my dreams cant stretch that far It would begin to build bridges with the fans, he's selling so Mo's out sooner or later anyway, Selim and Marlin can put their energies back into the youth team, it would probably be a net financial win for him seeing as Shez is free and attendances would probably go up, and we're showing no signs of avoiding the drop as we are so this might be his only chance of selling a league 2 club rather than a national league club. But to answer your question, no I can't see him doing that. Not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy_b_100 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Whatever you think of JS as a manager .... This offer, if its genuine is one we should be taking up .... maybe he is whats needed to get the best out of what we have .... he lives a charmed life at BP and has nothing at all to gain or lose other than his reputation ....... It would be interesting at least, worth backing. Wonder what PTB and the trust think ..... is it worth getting behind ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Og Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Very simple questions with probably very simple answers: Is it possible that his appointment would improve matters?

Steve_R Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Can't see it happening. Saying you'll do something for nothing is an easy thing to say if you know there's little chance of it happening. He'll also want an assistant, and I can't see Tommy Wright (if he's allowed) doing it for bugger all as well. That said, if he has actually said this it would indicate he's open to taking on with the lowly pay they'd offer him,we desperately need a manager and given his track record here (if not elsewhere) they should definitely talk to him and see if something can be done. As we all know though, what they should do and what they actually do are two entirely different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate our options are currently limited for a number of reasons. We had the most experienced manager you could get in L2 and everyone wanted him sacked.

There's probably quite a long list of available managers that would on paper probably do a better job than Sheridan. But there are a few unique reasons that make Sheridan a good option, mainly him being free and not wanting a long term contract. But also his familiarity with the fans and the club which could give him an edge. At the very least he has to be better option than no wins Selim.

I'm sure the older posters on here remember Belle Vue as a top place with the fairground and beer halls. Used to get the bus from Middleton and then the 53 from Queens Park Rd.
