[Gee Bee]

Already mentioned in another thread on managers going(as in Smith).

 

[SmiffyBee]

I hiope he negociated a good deal for himself....travelling expenses, length of contract, notice required....etc

 

[Aberdeen flyer]

So he got himself a job as manager of a below average Blue Square Conference team - big deal.

He could have waited 12 months.................

 

[JBN]

At least the offer was honoured.

 

[bees66]

Darren who?

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Perhaps he'll stop calling us asking about his start date now.

 

[TW3Bee]

As an aside to this, Waddock is doing ok for himself at Aldershit.

 

[North London Bee]

Very interested to see how he does.....

 

[JBN]

Looks to be heading for his first win.

 

[Downbeat Bee]

Don't remind me of the idiotic decision to appoint Fitzgerald - how much did that cost us? Those who decided to do that should be strung up.

Hear Hear! And it's not with the benefit of hindsight either. We all knew at the time what a weak and high risk appointment that was.
Gross mis-management of a football club.

Don't believe it was high risk - there was no risk. At that point we were certain to go down:sad:

 

[Boston Bee]

Oh no we didn't. I still have the scars from my reaction to the appointment. I was appalled and wrote the club saying it was a bad decision, cc-ing my letter on the GPG. I took a whole load of abuse.

[Downbeat Bee]

Not from me you didn't

It was a difficult one for me because he had been chosen and I think one has to support the managment in their efforts but it was a truly awful decision

 

[GP200]

................a winning start then...................

 

[JBN]

Managed an away win today.

 

[Jimbee]

On Boxing Day, Oxford scored their first goal in 7 games since the above post.

 

[Luton Bee]

Record so far under Patterson:

P8 W3 D3 L2

Is this thread going to run and run is it?

 

[Luton Bee]

I think it'll run at least until we play them next season

 

[rebus]

I will bet the farm on us not getting relegated Barry.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Not that I have a farm though. I'm still hopeful of a large surge to the play offs. :nutty:

 

[Luton Bee]

Only one (poor) managerial appointment away Mark.

How many poor appointments in a row is it now?

 

[rebus]

You make it sound like its my fault.

 

[Luton Bee]

I hadn't thought of that!




Bloody good idea though


Am I allowed to put "Chapman out" now at the end of every post then?

 

[Ace Face]

I will bid my farm as well that if we get 4 or 5 new players in and a new manager we could in the top half fighting for 7th place.

Go ahead, everyone else does.

And to think if it hadn't been for that B@stard KD, we could have had that....
