I reckon that based upon the type of things Harry said many times along the lines of 'I don't have much to do with buying players' that the system we have in place is one where the manager has almost nothing to do with the buying process, which would explain why they didn't have any problem getting rid of Harry because he wasn't able to turn the players he inherited and the ones that were brought in for him into a winning side, really quickly.
I don't know about that. The first half was reasonably encouraging and we had a decent first couple of minutes to the second half down the left hand side. I reckon that Preston must have been told to impose themselves physically on us, as we're not an aggressive side. Once we had that spell of not being able to clear our lines or pass the fall properly it looked a matter of time before we conceded. After that, there were signs of mental fragility but we had no aggression in us. Whether it was rotten behind the scenes anyway... Читать дальше...
What's Harry Storer doing now? Should never have...
I think the first allocation were £18 probably behind the goal, and the second batch are on the side near the corner.
The initial allocation, behind the goal, were priced at £18.
The extra allocation, round the corner, were always advertised as being £24

Mate said to me he wonders if there was a half time fall out on Saturday which causes the team to crumble.
It's the only thing really that could explain something like that.
Interesting points. I think where I'd be uneasy with that in this case is that Dein is also an agent, of course - if he ceases to have involvement with the club, are the players that he represents 'his' players (philosophically speaking) or the clubs?
The other issue with that is (IMO anyway) a manager has to manage the players that he wants to be at the club. I get the point about the players being the clubs players, and it does seem logical in this era of routine hiring and firing of managers... Читать дальше...

It wasn't just one job too far for him, he was absolutely shite at QPR too.
Just bought mine got 4 no problem - apart from didn't someone say they were £18 each just been charged £24 each ??? can't find it on bcfc.com to clarify.
Panic over, just bought some £24 tickets over the phone, obviously the 2nd allocation so should be plenty left for general sale.

I think it reasonably sensational, or at least surprising, in the context of it being only just over two weeks before Harry was allowed to bring so many players in and, particularly with injuries, hadn't had chance to see the team gel.

It's an ancient Japanese way of honourably taking one's own life.
No Bill Caldwell?
Although I guess you could look at it as the end of last season being one job, mission accomplished, and this season being a new start which was a job too far.
I'm all for giving someone who the players responded to quickly a shot.
I've got a pair of those as well, very dapper.

Anyone want to convert to percentages, please do.

I said the same yesterday there must have been words at half-time on Saturday and from what "I hear" all hasn't been well down wast hills for a few weeks Harry coming out saying what he said in public after the Burton game didn't help matters either and let's be honest blues was his last swansong and he knew it,he didn't give a monkeys who he upset!.He hung himself in the end but he couldnt give a feck as blues has been a nice little earner for the last 5 months...

No.. lets try again with you.
I don't care about who our next manager will be.
Read it slowly, maybe try saying it out loud too?
Exactly.
Not sure why there appears to be this inherent thing in football where supporters seem so willing to credit Assistant Managers and Head Coaches for the success of others without any evidence to support it. First it was Crosby for finding Clark's players, then it was Clark for signing Rowett's best players now it's Cotterill for coaching our way to two wins out of three last season. Won't be too long before people are calling for Darren Dein to be Chief Scout should one or two... Читать дальше...
Good stats for Francis there. Such a pity he couldn't get us through the Play-Offs. Almost won a cup final against Liverpool too.
We missed a trick. If only we could have afforded the current budget to Gary Rowett we'd be topping the table now
