New manager to be announced on 16:18 - Apr 2 with 6723 views | Nathaniel82 | I hope it’s BBM and the current team. I know it’s all a bit fairy tale but, he comes across very well, is articulate and very grounded. A complete contrast to how Hilly ended up. Even if it was a one year deal. I’d take that. The points he’s accumulated, 8 from 12 is not to be sniffed at either. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
New manager to be announced on 16:27 - Apr 2 with 6621 views | electricblue | When a club appoint from within etc a question always comes to mind... Take BBM if he is appointed if by any chance it dont work out and he gets replaced will he drop back into his previous role or does he leave the club.... | ![](/images/avatars/6227.gif) |

New manager to be announced on 16:30 - Apr 2 with 6587 views | blackdogblue | Steve McLaren? Time to dig on Twitter, someone must know Interesting times ... Ps. BBM would have my vote, got the “we are Rochdale”” going now we’ve ditched the team ethos 😀 Reminds me, is it Barry-Murphy is our King as it’s a bit of a mouthful or just Murphy? | ![](/images/avatars/22716.gif) |

New manager to be announced on 16:41 - Apr 2 with 6491 views | rochdale_ranger | It was announced by Bottomley on the radio the other week that BBM was in charge till the end of the season. To all those who I criticised as knee jerk or hasty in their condemnation of how the club is being run by the new board and chairman I apologise. | ![](/images/avatars/23013.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
New manager to be announced on 16:46 - Apr 2 with 6438 views | aleanddale | Agree this timing is terrible!! just let BBM crack on until May 4th and make an announcement on Monday May 6th. Unless they are certain announcing BBM will get the lads running through more walls and unite them further still. I am assuming BBM will be getting the nod if they announce anyone else the distraction it will bring with 7 games to go is mind numbingly stupid!!. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

If it’s BBM then it doesn’t make much difference, i’ve got a bad feeling it’s going to be someone else though, given how out of the blue this is.. | ![](/images/avatars/3164.gif) |

New manager to be announced on 16:56 - Apr 2 with 6353 views | DorsetDale | Given there's been no talk of any out of work managers been seen filling up at Tesco it must surely be confirmation of BBM getting the job full time. There's a new found optimism currently, why break what isn't broken? They wouldn't, would they? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

He appeared to intimate exactly that in his post match interview on Saturday. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Because getting rid of your greatest ever manager and giving the job to a guy based on the back of two wins and a draw might not be the best in the long term. | ![](/images/avatars/23013.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
New manager to be announced on 17:12 - Apr 2 with 6219 views | blackdogblue | Pros & cons to BBM getting the job. Please feel free to expand.. BBM: Pros: He has gained a Pogba type respect from the team Cons: Does he have the contacts /experience / heart to let players go on the annual release to build a new squad in the Summer? New Manager: Pros: Can quickly asses the squad & get shut of dead wood Maybe has contacts & experience Cons: Our Budget.... FRMSE & Coleman failed.. What would he do different? Who said it may be a “he” 😀 | ![](/images/avatars/22716.gif) |

New manager to be announced on 17:13 - Apr 2 with 6209 views | EllDale | Did Keith Hill get it on the back of two wins and a draw? Wrexham, Boston, Grimsby. or is my memory failing me? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
New manager to be announced on 17:18 - Apr 2 with 6172 views | DaleiLama | Maybe there is a masterplan? It isn't always obvious what it is though, and I have to hope it's a long way from being fully implemented yet. | ![](/images/avatars/17584.gif) |

He always comes across to me as if hes happy to fill in for the time being..but I don't think its what he wants on a longer term... | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
New manager to be announced on 17:35 - Apr 2 with 6022 views | SuddenLad | BBM said he was told that he would be in charge 'for a batch of games', an unspecified number and I don't recall any mention of 'end of the season' deals. If that were so, there would be no announcement to be made tomorrow. There are less grounds for ditching BBM, than there were for getting rid of Keith Hill. My guess is BBM on a 12-month deal. | ![](/images/avatars/5895.gif) |

New manager to be announced on 17:37 - Apr 2 with 6007 views | boromat | I wouldn't rock the boat now. Hope it's BBM anyone else would struggle to get the buy in from the players. I was against Keith going and I'm still not pleased about it but I can get behind BBM but someone new out of the cold after all these weeks not sure I'd be buying one of those season tickets next year. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

New manager to be announced on 17:40 - Apr 2 with 5966 views | James1980 | Got the impression, from his pmi. BBM'S 'block of games' was up to the Gillingham one. If it was an on the job trial, would like to think he has passed the test. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

I will go with Sudden Lad. BBM on a short contract initially. 15 months though until June 30th 2020. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

New manager to be announced on 19:04 - Apr 2 with 5498 views | davidab2202 | Surely it has got to be BBM unless he has declined to take the job. Another reason being unless a plumber has sorted out the "leak" problem at Spotland,somebody somewhere on this forum would have it "on good authority" who was being appointed if it was an outsider | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

New manager to be announced on 19:09 - Apr 2 with 5457 views | kiwidale | The only way this makes sense is that Murphy will be the new manager? Its just strange that they have not just announced it immediately and in that the speculation that they will be unveiling a completely new man. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |
