I'm not really happy or ecstatic, just mildly underwhelmed.

We've let him have too long, and as repayment, he's properly f*cked our squad. Its really disjointed.

I'd happily give the job to JP for the remainder of the season, flit some of the bloated squad of 3 billion loan players we've got, and simultaneously jettison (if possible) on loan some of the shite midfielders we have. I can't even remember who is and isn't on loan or has been bought, but the list would start with Moxey, Garvan and Trotter. If it were me, I'd recall some of the kids to fill their places on the bench.

And I'd hope to god that Jimmy attempts to play a settled team with a settled formation for a run of a few games to actually give everyone a chance. We're odds on for relegation as it stands, I'm not expecting miracles, everything beyond that is gravy.

Completely agree.

I'm afraid we own Trotter and Moxey. Maybe we can persuade ssomeone to take them. It does allow us to start regrouping and move back to using our own and properly. His obsession with collecting midfielders was, I believe, a slight madness he developed as he felt his back was against the wall and he surrounded himself with familiar people.

Our expectations ate lowered but I feel we can at least move forward now.

I still don't think we're odds-on for relegation, a half decent manager should steer the squad clear.
Clearly a strong possibility, but I'd still put my money on us staying up. It would take some serious mismanagement to go down I think. Lightning doesn't strike 5 times, Shirley?

Ha. I wish.
None of this best of luck to Dougie nonsense from me either.

What this thread needs is an update of when contracts expire, because although Douglas has gone, Trotter remains on a three year deal. Fecking Moxey remains on a three year deal and Fecking Dervshite remains on a three year deal.

It's that bad. I'd be tempted to bring Super Keithy Andrews back into centre mid and build the team around him (not really).

Wow, well without seeing Lynch's tweet I'd have said the club got it about right time-wise... having seen all Dougie's enemies come out of the woodwork if behind-the-scenes was really that bad maybe it shoulda been earlier.

Will Vela finally get a chance now then? He's someone with promise that hasn't had a chance under Dougie despite his supposed favouring of young players...

Not sure all his enemies have come out of the woodwork yet. We've heard nowt from Eagles and Davo only hinted that it looked completely disjointed last weekend (although in a veiled way he seemed to be suggesting it was no surprise there was a lot of disquiet.)

jay lynch is probably not good enough to clean Bill Jaaskelainen's boots.

and davies is probably too busy sorting out his next #burfday party to know what's going on , you might as well take bryan small's insider info more serious .

davies'll be nearing john gregory in "which bwfc player do you like best" polls soon , if he keeps stirring shit up.

bedsheeters gotta hate even when they get their own way.

.
1) Who the f*ck is Bill Jaaskelainen?
2) Why is it important that someone has to be good enough to lace his boots to have a valid opinion?
3) I like Kevin Davies. There, I've said it. Was a very good player for us. Why would him saying our shite manager was shite (I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing thats the source of your ire) make him less popular? Surely you're in a minority of 3 (you being one of them) that couldn't see how terrible it was. Stating the bleeding obvious is not a crime, I don't think.

McGinlay, god love him, never really tried to conceal his anger at his mate Coyle getting the boot. Of course he'd love Phil Brown to get the job now. He's a loyal fella, is our Maggy.

Super John wants someone who knows the town and used to play for the club? Wonder if he has anyone in mind. Now he's moved back to Horwich.

Super was full of praise for Phil Brown on BBC RM. Predictable. I could live with that. But not feel a massive amount of confidence about the future.

But we are truly in the ordure. This appointment has to be the right one.
