I would keep him as coach or assistant to a new manager. |  |

I was tempted, but didn't want to be accused of being devisive.
It would say back BBM rather than sack him |  |

Neither.
I would prefer to keep BBM, he's having a tough season and don't think any other Manager could galvanise our squad with the current luck we are having, and resources we have available | | | |

No point unless there is money to spend, there probably isnt so we must carry on as is. |  | | |

Simples, keep BBM, hope our luck on the injury front improves | | | |

Let’s remember BBM was just as resolute as the CEO on the matter of going into the season with a small squad and using youth players. Whether that was genuine belief or toeing the party line is irrelevant as they are both equally bad points of mitigation.
He would’ve known that injuries, suspensions and inexperience were key risks of this strategy and been confident of managing them as they arose.
I’m always prepared to cut the manager of our club a lot of slack, given the inherent challenges that come with managing it, but I’m losing confidence with each passing game given what I’m seeing. |  |

BBM has fully built into how we operate on a shoestring and bring on and sell youngsters. He knows the club inside out and it'd be difficult to find a replacement.
I also think with the luck we've had with injuries being outside of the relegation zone is the best we could hope for. And as it stands that's where we are. At the moment there's only one real relegation place to be decided which gives us plenty of opportunity to stay up. If we get players back fit I think we'll be fine. I heard McNulty is due back mid Jan which will be a key one!
January is going to be interesting as we will likely see offers come in for players. And we will most likely honour some of our commitments to allow players to move on to bigger things. I'd expect reinforcements in the way of loanees to happen again. Hopefully we get the quality needed. But with our back room staff including BBM, Ellis and the new Scottish GK coach I'm sure we have some good connections to get in what we need.
So no panicking here. BBM to stay! | |

Klopp couldn't get this squad of players consistently scoring goals. It isn't good enough. | | | |

The new Scottish GK coach is leaving us in a week or so and the rest of your hopes are pinned on contradictory points.
You’re citing the return of McNulty as a major boost. No harm to McNulty, but even last season you would have been laughed off this forum for that. That in itself is an indictment of how far we have fallen off the pace of this division. | |

McNulty was brilliant at the start of the season and hopefully he picks up where he left off.
What's going on with the GK coach then?
And my points about what could happen in Jan I see as a positive it'll release some wage budget and bring in some money to freshen things up. [Post edited 30 Dec 2019 12:58]

As i said before the club cannot keep sacking and bringing in a new manager its unaffordable.....
Nobody can look ahead to season and guess that 8 or 9 players will be injured for a certain length of time...
BBM as been extremely unlucky in that department..
Dale may have earmed about £550k in cup revenue this season and that may be ear marked for next season...
So for now the board should keep BBM but they have to back him with regards to players this January either loanees or signing or a mix..... |  |

The financials suggest relegation would be more costly to the club than changing the manager. I stress that is not what I’m advocating at this stage, btw.
And I’m sorry, if you’re going into the season with a small squad, you absolutely have to consider injuries and suspensions counting against you, even in extremes. [Post edited 30 Dec 2019 13:32]

Never really taken to BBM as a player or coach etc. Did ok last season but his recruitment this season shows a lack of awareness of the level we need to compete at . He seems tactically inept and I'm sorry to say but apart from the Utd game the standard of football has been appauling. To keep picking the likes of MJW and the absolutely useless Andrew is crass stupidity. I know we are paper thin but surely there are better loanees out there except Pyke ( why on earth he brought him back) .
I think the board messed up with keeping him in the summer.
Perhaps we should just accept being meek old Rochdale and accept we are punching above our weight etc ...( I hate that approach from Dale fans, we are in league 1 on merit, dont accept anything less, lets at least go down with a fight) .
There is no fight in this team , we are toothless up front , uncreative in midfield and prone to far too many errors at the back. | | | |

Keep picking Andrew? He's started maybe one game this season in the league and that was a desperation move down at Wimbledon when we had no recognised centre back as McNulty was injured before the game.
The rest of his appearances are 15 minutes here and there.
I agree with the picking of MJ being a mistake. Ryan is twice the player he is and when Rathbone and Morley are fully fit, MJ shouldn't be in the side.
I also agree there are better loan options than Pyke but his other signings have been good. | |

The fight is being taken out by poor tactics from BBM. Two poor defensive midfielders looking to pass sideways or back to a defence who piss about passing across the penalty box. Midfielders left to wait until the opposition closes them down and target men played wide and our ever best striker coming back to midfield.
Shades of Hill.
And we’ve got .. Calvin Andrews.
Cannon, Jamie Allen, Danny Adshead all let go for a few measly quid. They were there to build round. Not Done, MJ, Ryan etc. | | | |

To be fair, you’ve never taken to any of our management or players. | |

Neither.
As I said on another thread I prefer spending money on the playing squad rather than paying of managers. That is part of the reasons recruitment was so thin this year.
BBM has not improved us much from the time of KH’s departure. But we were getting absolutely battered week in week out. Our goal difference was the worst in the football league at one point. So given the lack of funds, and accepting he was not ruthless enough with th realised least, he deserves to still be in charge. | | | |

Who would you bring in? We have no money if everything said by the board or by some on here is correct. |  | | |
