Blue_Guru Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Corney, Owen and Co all fervently looking at their phones for the last 5 mins or so too .. Probably creaming that the league looks so northern with MK dons, Bristol, Yeovil, Colchester and Leyton orient out and Blackpool, Wigan, bury, burton, Shrewsbury and Millwall (only exception) in. That will add a fair few to the average attendance I imagine next season as non of the teams leaving are big away followers either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Lets not pretend the Lee Johnson appointment was the same as this. Exactly the same. Most people had no clue who LJ was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 That's not the point. It was a totally different context. We were at rock bottom when Johnson was appointed. There's a bit of momentum at the club at the moment, despite the end of season slump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frizzell54 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 A slap in the face for Holden. How he must feel. With the right appointment I was considering a season ticket in the new stand even though I only get to 2 - 3 games per year. Not now. It will take a good run and some reported entertaing play to get me back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Exactly the same. Most people had no clue who LJ was. That's absolute bollocks. He'd played in the Championship for years and played against us a few times. Any lower league fan worth their salt will have known who he was...

Any lower league fan worth their salt will have known who he was... I would guess he is talking manager-like. Nobody really had a clue who LJ was in the coaching world.

the_mighty_bosh Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Kelly would be even more of a left-field than Ashworth would've been. I can understand why Corney has gone for this type of appointment but the problem is that sooner rather than later we'll go so far left-field that we'll find ourselves out of the ball park altogether, so to speak.

RoyleArmy1994 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Anyone know what the refund policy on season tickets is? I feel robbed by this apparent incoming appointment.

Gaz_Oafc Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I keep seeing this comparison to the LJ appointment, as if he turned us into world beaters or something? I still don't know what he actually achieved with us? Made us a bit less :censored:e :censored:e the bloke before him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't know what he actually achieved with us? Made us a bit less :censored:e :censored:e the bloke before him? Took us from the relegation zone to ninth, two points off the playoffs. It's fair to say that was decent progress, especially given the harbingers of doom that greeted his appointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Holden pretty much saying he hasn't got the job on radio Manchester. Gannon was a guest of Barry Frys. Paul Murray was also their today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeF Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Jesus, I am underwhelmed as everyone else if this is true, but give him bloody chance for gods sake. Asking for a refund of a Season Ticket is madness, for all we know he may be just the manager we need to take us to the next level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_lead Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Will give him the benefit of my doubt because he is our new Manager. Immediate reaction was being reminded of the episode of Father Ted when Ted and Dougal win the Irish song for Europe competition with a crap song because the organisers wanted an excuse to no longer enter the Eurovision Song Contest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
