So Bury lose 2-0 at home to Morcambe and the manager gets the sack, I wonder if history will repeat itself.Robin wrote:Bury will have started the season with lower expetations than ourselves but hard to imagine what more he could have done there given the circumstances.

Bury's last league win was in August when they beat us. We made them look world beaters that afternoon and I came away thinking Bury were dark horses for play offs. Both teams have moved in opposite directions performance wise since then.
I gather the club is still dogged by its debt and a real challenge for anyone coming in to manage on their budget - good luck.

Bury started the season with an unreasonably high budget and high local expectations.
I believe that by lowering season ticket prices, they have increased ticket sold figures, but this may not be reflected in true attendances, which means the knock on additional income from food, drink, programmes, etc. will not be there.

Feel sorry for Blackwell - after all the broken promises of last season, plus the horrendous debt that the board seemed to forget to tell him about when he was appointed as manager. Trying to bed in over 20 players was always going to take time and until then, they were always going to be inconsistent. Why sack him so soon? He's had a nightmare job there so far - who else would want the job?
All they have to do though is avoid giving MA the job - Bury don't deserve that - I wouldn't wish him on any club!!

He is going to Sheff Utd apparently. Blackwell is surely finished as a manager. Every club he has been at has ended in administration or financial diificulityUppy wrote:Nigel Clough anyone?

Not Blackwell's fault, surely? And not a record that stopped Barry Fry getting jobs.

Blatant wum and and only an imbecile would assume he was an accurate representative of the mainstream view of Bury fans.asl wrote:Not the impression that Bury fan was giving when he was mouthing off on here.

Blackwell is a nasty money chasing manager. The fact his teams always end jn trouble is because teams who deliberately want to play dirty and overspr before busting like to get dodgy men like Blackwell in.
