BBM gone on 20:52 - Jun 30 by Shun | Same here. Pretty disappointed in BBM. And what brilliant timing, thanks Brian. I’m just wondering what the club’s stance is on this. They say they reluctantly allowed him to leave. Why? If another club were after him we’ve just sacrificed our compensation. This isn’t a club legend like Hill, or even someone who’s had a modicum of success. The only thing he’s done is got us relegated, we owe him nothing. |
We owe him nothing, but he owes us some loyalty. It can’t be just that he wanted to leave, there must be something else. Given everything, his successes and failures, he does come across as a decent chap. Baffling. | ![](/images/avatars/1816.gif) |

I can imagine there’ll be a few unhappy people now and Humps will be even more determined to leave. | ![](/images/avatars/1992.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
BBM gone on 20:57 - Jun 30 with 4089 views | SuddenLad | "After careful consideration and after being approached by his representatives'. Something amiss there. Why couldn't BBM have spoken in person to the Board or Directors. Sounds like a major rift, despite the players re-signing, in some cases BECAUSE BBM was manager. I now fear an exodus of talent. | ![](/images/avatars/5895.gif) |

BBM gone on 20:57 - Jun 30 with 4086 views | James1980 | Anything on the rumour mill about any other clubs showing an interest in BBM lately? Might simply be for personal reasons he wants a break from football management. If Hill does return whether it be as Manager or DoF. Perhaps a no interviews clause could be included in his contract or an electric shock collar to go off when ever he makes a bizarre Cantonaesque statement. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

BBM gone on 21:03 - Jun 30 with 3872 views | 49thseason | Its fairly cowardly to send your Agent to tell the club he is resigning. I Don't think he was ever the guy for a scrap and that's what we need at the moment. If there is anyone on the Boards radar, which seems unlikely, they should be looking for someone who relishes a battle, not a tippy tappy, keep the ball and pass it backwards type. We are heading for a very difficult period of history, and I suspect we will need nerves of steel and the hide of a rhino . still, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger . I would call Paul McShane! | ![](/images/avatars/1190.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

BBM gone on 21:07 - Jun 30 with 3730 views | SaxonDale | As said by others this really doesn’t add up. I’m really disappointed- more than anything because we’re going to be entering a season behind schedule and playing catch-up, which could be the difference between relegation and promotion. Do wonder whether this has been triggered by Bothamley’s departure. | ![](/images/avatars/1115.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

And let it drag on for a few weeks, the players do a half hearted pre-season, not fit enough, injury prone, new manager comes in with his own ideas, too late to properly implement them. We are down if this goes on longer than a week. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

It has to be, BBM probably knows he`s not a manager`s backside, but with Bottomley there he knew he could get away with it, at least until February when his twelve month extension was up. Certainly a seismic event on the cusp of a new season, but there`s no reason to think Jim and Riley can`t take the players for training and get them fit, they`ll all professionals and should know what they need to do. Me thinks McShane might be the first bloke to get a phone call. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
