I think BBM was still registered as player when he took over as caretaker if that counts. | ![](/images/avatars/21375.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Paul Simpson. With all the turmoil, McNulty’s stock goes up by the day. | ![](/images/avatars/1212.gif) |

Big Jim registers as a player. on 13:24 - Jan 5 with 4192 views | NorthernDale | One interesting thing he or the Dale have just posted, is that it is a short-term measure until they can identify and bring in players that will help the Dale, which is a positive message. It would be nice to have an update on the injuries and when players are likely to return. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Big Jim registers as a player. on 13:26 - Jan 5 with 4188 views | EllDale | I’d completely forgotten about Simpson. Or tried to erase him from my memory! One of the board’s complaints about Collins was that he never picked himself whilst his wage reflected the fact he had been taken on as a player/manager. Total respect to Big Jim for this one. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Paul Simpson actively, although I think BBM was still registered initially too. | ![](/images/avatars/1214.gif) |

As a player who went on to manage,(at a lower league) this is a huge nooooo. Jim you are a legend already but you will be hurt. Trying to play half way through a season when you’re older and have not trained fully is a mistake. I get the sentiment but please have faith in the youth. There is local young talent around and you must nurture it if you want to succeed | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Pretty sure he's only doing it so he can play in an emergency situation (and should be commended for doing so imo), I doubt he's actually wanting to play. What happens if 3 of our defenders are carted off on a stretcher tomorrow? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
