The BBM love in. 14:19 - Jul 24 with 4729 views | oddjob007 | I really wish we’d stop this BBM love in, not so much on here, but on Twitter. Yep, kept us up, but then stayed up on a technicality before succumbing to the inevitable. The man was clearly out of his depth as a first team manager. He applied for the City job last summer and apparently applied for another job with a rival during the season. He then applies for the City job again this year, gets it, tries to get us to pay him up and then leaves for nothing to the richest club in the world. How an earth have we not got anything out of this? It stinks! I don’t actually believe BBM is the snake he is coming across as - blame his other half and the circles I imagine she mixes in. Good riddance!! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Correct. Its his career so who are we to say what he should do or where he should go. However... the way in which it appears to have been done leaves a very bitter taste (along with not winning for 345 games at home during last season) | ![](/images/avatars/3770.gif) |

Because it was obvious to any football fan he’d look to progress and that some Notts fans hold grudges amuses. Makes as much sense as those who hate Parkin for going to Barnsley. | ![](/images/avatars/1212.gif) |

It's not that he wanted to progress but the way that he did it,he lied about having family problems and got sympathy for it but he just smelt the money being offered on the quiet,it deprived Notts of compensation and left a very bitter taste in the mouth,he couldn't even face somebody at the club to hand in his resignation but shoved it under the owners door like a coward,if he had been truthful and moved onto Bolton and Notts got fair compensation then good luck to him,the FA found Bolton thirty odd grand which is cheap if you are getting who you want,Notts got nothing from it and left managerless in the middle of a good run we dropped like a stone because of it,still if you think that it's funny then that's up to you but I hope that it doesn't happen to Dale but if it does then at least we can laugh about together eh | ![](/images/avatars/27040.gif) |

Nailed it there. He would have known the perilous state of the finances at the club and to leave the way he did is really bitter. Had it been “Rochdale and Man City have agreed terms for BBM to take up a role with the U23s” I think we’d have all said good luck and all the best. Sadly, the way it was done, suggests City weren’t prepared to pay any compensation. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

They won't need to pay any compensation when BBM is applying for jobs with them whilst knowingly employed by Rochdale, along with his previous applications for jobs, the guy is about as honest as the previous bell end of a " CEO" neither will be missed one bit | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

It’s in a thread about the disappointing way a manager left Rochdale, so it has happened to us. Albeit without the exact same circumstances (which would be pretty special), decades worth of water under the bridge and that our manager wasn’t actually that successful. Laugh away, it’s ok. | ![](/images/avatars/1212.gif) |

tbf, i don't think he's laughing We can keep our views about NottsCo till the cows come home, and with good reason, but i think chalky's demonstrated more than amply that he's not one to try to take a rise out of us now, especially having put money into our club recently | ![](/images/avatars/1219.gif) |

You're correct,what I was trying to say was that if the same did happen to Dale then I would have liked to know how funny 442 thought that it was then,Fat Sam is one of the things that still irks me about my time supporting Notts,supporters have short memories (but I can confirm NOT on this forum ) and as time passes and younger blood comes through the gates people seem to only remember the scores and good times and was in response to the OP's original post about the BBM love in When I first came on here years ago it was in response to some posts put elsewhere about the season that can't be mentioned and try to put forward the views of the ordinary Notts fan,well I'm STILL putting that bloody view forward to you lot now | ![](/images/avatars/27040.gif) |

The BBM love in. on 20:02 - Jul 24 with 3363 views | Newbury_Dale | A lot of clubs would have sacked BBM last year, with the terrible home record. Youth/U23 football suits him fine. He can love and be loved, and won't be judged on those guilt edge decisions that good managers get right. The tactics at Wimbledon away for example when we went 3-2 up. Thankfully for him, he will never be in that situation coaching kids. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I know you weren’t trying to relate it to Dale. Neither was I, merely that the Allardyce annoyance never made much sense in the same way it didn’t when Parkin left us with the associated grudges being the funny aspect. That departure didn’t bother some, nor did Hill or BBM leaving, with similarly OTT reactions making as little sense as any other manager leaving a club. They all do it, it’s about doing it the right way - something which you can compare in the Allardyce/BBM situations. As fans we shouldn’t be surprised. Your support of the club is most welcome btw. | ![](/images/avatars/1212.gif) |

I respect your point of view 442 👠The only thing that I don't like about this forum is that I've somehow got into following Dale to the point where I post on here more than the other forums put together and I'm planning a couple of trips to Spotland,how the bleeding hell did that happen? | ![](/images/avatars/27040.gif) |
