I would give Davey longer but if he did go

what does anyone think to John Ward, Carlilse manager? Great stats and and his teams play really good football

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ward_(footballer)

 

He would be an excellent choice if only because Andrew 'One Dimensional Reporter' Lodge, could use the headline 'Reds call for emergency Ward' (zzz) (zzz) (zzz)

 

Was speaking to my mate earlier whose a Burnley fan and they all loved him when he was the assistant manager under Heath.

 

He would be ok he has worked with some good mangers. </p>

But he's not won anything worth winning, like the Champions League. </p>

In Defence of Lodgy

what people dont realise is that when any of the local papers interview Davey is that he is not media freindly since the Paul Hayes sagsa.
When Lodgy asked Davey about the Kosluk incident at Crewe and about the reason for dropping Kozzy, Daveys reply was , Im the manager its my decision, when Ian Applyard asked the same question with a fans slant, Davey said to Ian Applayard" im not repeating myself.
All the local journalists and media try to tackle Davey on player issues but as previously stated he has a seige mentality.
Andrew Lodge is absolutely frustrated like the rest of us about the lack of co operation and news which comes out of the club via Mr Davey

 

I know that was a wind up but,

how many managers have won the Champions league ?

 

Correct.....................................................................

my point being he would be a cheap option, etc.

 

RE: In Defence of Lodgy

You don't have to defend Lodgy, I know he's died in the wool Barnsley and cares about the club as much as we all do. However, from a journalistic point of view, his match reports follow a very tired and predictable format week in, week out. And the cliched headlines do my nut in. Unlike his dad however, I admire him for not sitting on the fence and he is not afraid to criticise the club if he feels it's justified.

 

Lodgy6 does speak his mind to BFC

And PC has been known to ring him at matches to get a "honest view". He asks straight questions but is shunned of information from Simon Davey, and as Lodgy says if i printed a honest and realistic account from Simon Davey then it would fit on a *** packet with what he gives away to the media

 

RE: Lodgy6 does speak his mind to BFC

When did Lodgy say the *** packet comment?? Can't have been in the Chron, surely?? Also, 'Cryne rings him for an honest opinion'?? Jaysus, what is going on at the club when the owner doesn't trust the manager to give an honest opinion. Surely you mean an 'alternative' opinion. If not, Cryne looks like he hasn't got the balls to confront Davey about the current situation......very worrying!

 

But I really did want to know how many have won it!

:'(

 

he has pinched a few articles, comments etc from this BBS minds

 

All the local media are with us

Davey is against us. Boo, Davey, no sound bites, feeding them bum info on team selections, get him out, he's not media friendly. Lodge knows more about football than him. Siege mentality? Is there any wonder? Take a look at the soap box you're on.

Carry on with this character assassination, see where it leads.

 

AS i Said before SM Bring it on....

I can veryfy, substantiate, confirm, give written and recorded FACTS about the staements i make, idont deal with fantasy and supposition... and blind optimism like yourself... my comments are in the public domain with no fear of being proved wrong... its called principles and fighting for the club... which is bigger than you .. me or the Arrogant self opinionated manager we have

 

To precis:

You aren't keen then ?

 

Isnt Lodgy a Man Utd fan? nt

 

RE: In Defence of Lodgy

But why should he go into detail with the press about 'problems' or 'player issues' within the camp? How many managers talk about such things to the media? I'd say the vast majority keep everything in-house, and so they should.</p>

</p>

 

'When you have the backing and togetherness of the dressing room like we have..'

are you calling Simon Davey a liar? Straight Yes or No.

 

go on then, prove it. Or do one.

 

Odejayi scored goals with Ward as his manager, albeit at a lower level, but on the negative side he off loaded him to us along with Grant McCann.
