singe Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Lee Johnson was very well known at our level and the one above. And in Scotland. Don't agree with that. to be honest. Iam confident most fans would agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Sinnott Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I struggle to believe that any fan who has been watching League One (or equivalent) football since 1997 had never heard of Lee Johnson... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corazzin19 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Dunn will of knew the manager was Kelly but doesn't mean he knew much about him. Maybe now after working with him for a short period he doesn't fancy plying for him? I'd be surprised if we had budget left for Dunn I won't be shocked if he doesn't sign. Personally im happy with the squad if we get another CB or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say never heard of, I said well known. And definately not very well known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas, I had never heard of him until a post on here saying he was going to be appointed Latics manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunn signing on weds I have no doubt among players, that is not what I said. Anyway, the average fan who turns up at BP. Or worse, sees fewer games like me and has an atrocious memory will not have had Johnson on their radar. And I'll wager the majority of fans. Anyway that backs up my point even if I donlt agree. Although a rookie manager, Kelly does not fit the bill of being well known, so is the concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we don't know, just heresay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archiecat Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I would have thought that a "name" signing like Dunn would have seen an approach made to playershare, maybe they are keeping it quiet or there is nothing to the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisbrogan Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Is it possible that David Dunn could be a potential manager for us....? Can't see it. No coaching experience of any kind has he? Even if such a rumour was to surface, I bet no-one would believe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melia Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I've heard the same thing.............. regardless to whether or not people think the Kelly out rumors are all tosh or not; it doesn't surface out of thin air and there will be some substance somewhere. Clearly there is some kind of unrest and it doesn't sit to well with me before a ball has even been kicked... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dec666 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Can't see it. No coaching experience of any kind has he? Even if such a rumour was to surface, I bet no-one would believe it. Neither did our last two managers. He fits our criteria, young and holds a pro-license. You'd also imagine he has more connections in the game.

I dont know where this rumour of unrest has come from, as far as I know everyone is in unison with the manager and he's getting a good squad together.

BP, obviously you were/are a renowned Scout. Clearly 99% of the job is you assessment of a player But when you were FT Scouting, if you had heard there wa unrest or a player was unsettled would you be expected to pass that on too? Giving the manager the heads up a player might be more avaialb.e I know agents come into the equation more these days than they did in your FT days.

It came from OWTB. As usual it was people claiming they have a when in fact they are just trying to pass off their opinions or hopes as fact.
