who do you realistically want to replace Coleman if he got the push? I'm struggling to name many out of work managers that, a) we could afford, and b) would actually want

Seeing how Flitcroft will probably be sticking at Oakwell, do we go down the roll of youth coach, which has failed, or do we get in someone experienced, which is currently failing? I''m just not sure what road the club need to be looking at going down in terms of a new appointment if needed.

Life is a game of fate.

Given what TTN mentioned about what we can realistically afford, I think BBM is a good call. Intelligent footballer and appears to highly regarded within the game.


BBM and hill a duo....

Rumours are that Flitcroft has got the Barnsley job and it will soon be announced.


Confirmed.

I think we need to have someone in charge that is a 'Dale' person. Hill, flictcroft, beech, bbm, bayliss, doolan, parkin, jones.

What about Gary Jones with Parkin as assistant? Haha

You are playing with fire if you change the manager at this moment in time. Don't rock the boat baby more than it is rocking at the moment. The obvious risk is that the new manager may not hit the ground running. Yes, brilliant if he does. But we must weight the downside of the equation very heavily. We must be focused on the possibility of slipping into the abyss that is the Conference. We cannot afford to risk the next manager not having time to turn things around. This team has got "Coleman" stamped all over it. Bringing a new boss in may not motivate the Coleman players enough. Like I said, a new boss could work wonders, but what happens if he doesn't????????

Coleman has enough about him to steer us to safety. When we reach calmer waters we can make better decisions for the club going forward. Reaction is dangerous in the extreme given our set of circumstances. Even if people are staying away in droves, Chris Dunphy must hold his nerve and keep with Coleman until we are mathematically sure we can live another season in the Rochdale League.

Until that day I would urge all supporters, ESPECIALLY if you hate Coleman,the "tactics" etc, to keep turning up, put money into the club as a respect to your fellow Dale supporter and for the sake of Rochdale Football Club. We owe it to the next generation being responsible guardians. Don't walk away in the hour of need.


Can't agree more!

he is still a trustee of the pfa so hardly out of the game and his ventures are sports related

however given his lack of management experience and probable current paypacket he is probably an unlikely appointment

it is just so very hard to resist the urge to try and run crying back to the hill days trying to make it work again

if there is to be a management change then it needs to be done before the end of the transfer window no matter how small the budget

Now that Flickers is (temporarily) out of the equation, it'd be BBM as caretaker for me, with Beech assisting.

this.

are those who want bbm or beech for real ????

the same people put blame on C.D for hiring an inexperienced and out of depth manager in steve eyre but then call for bbm who has no managerial or coaching experience and beech who i'm in no doubt is great with the youth team but out of 6 games as caretaker we didn't win any

now we have no chance of flicker coming back we must stick with JC

You'll note that I mentioned BBM in a caretaker role.

He's got a footballing brain, he's apparently got the dressing room onside, he's not a whinger (he 's been very patient on the bench) and he's got 450 league games behind him.

As a caretaker, he'd be a relatively safe pair of hands, unlike Beech who this time last year did nothing but whinge. Then take it from there.

With the current incumbent, I'm afraid the club we love is dead in the water and our reputation - which IMO is just as important - even lower than that.

For our next manager, whenever the vacancy may occur, we should be looking to appoint a senior player with knowledge of the current scene (this is where Eyre fell down, due to lack of league experience), the ambition to make a career in management and the courage to take a punt on players you haven't worked with before (this is where JC is losing out at the moment.)

As to who - of the potential internal candidates Beech was unconvincing in a caretaker role and McIntyre exemplifies the kicking, diving and whinging syndrome which is losing us fans.

That leaves 3 possibilities:
BBM has been mentioned above
Dele is a decent veteran player - but does he have coaching aspirations or experience?
Cav might be OK - been scapegoated a bit unfairly at times this season. Probably perceived at too close to JC.

Of outsiders, Jones may be a shout at the end of the season (as may Flickers, if he doesn't keep the Barnsley job.) Or there are a couple of larger than life characters - Guy Branston (if he can channel his aggression into inspiring his team) and Efe Sodje (well thought of by fans, and a leader) from our neighbours.

Of former managers at this level, Alan Knill and Andy Scott both had reasonable records and put out sides that played (or tried to play) decent football.

I think he's an arrogant tvvat, but his time at Stevenage was impressive and it looks like hes about to get sacked...So Graham Westleigh would be a shout to me

While I agree it would be a gamble what happens if Coleman loses the next 3 games? Can anyone realistically see Coleman turning this rot around unless he brings in other faces? Unlike last year I still believe we have a squad at this stage of the season that if managed properly is good enough to comfortably stay up.

Great post, we we are now is some have blamed hillcroft for leaving, some blame Eyre for his part, some blame hill croft and Eyre, some blame beech for his short tenure, now some are blaming coleman , now since the dynamic duos departure nobody is being given a chance to turn things around, we need some stability, all this blame blame blame is getting us nowhere.
