Steve Wigley has left the club by mutual consent,no great loss but he wasn't a bad bloke... Bit like Millen lost the plot... http://www.bcfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10327~2503356,00.html
It's a shame we couldn't hold onto him, would have been perfect to run the academy but I'm guessing that he didn't want too. Maybe this will free up a bit of wages for Del to bring in another coach more to his tastes though.
The "gas" have had 14 managers in 10 years,you're even insulting and booing you're latest prize,who are the stooges and you're 4th tier... 1996â2001 Ian Holloway 2001 Garry Thompson (caretaker) 2001 Gerry Francis 2001â02 Garry Thompson 2002 Phil Bater (caretaker) 2002â04 Ray Graydon 2004 Phil Bater (caretaker) 2004 Russell Osman & Kevan Broadhurst (joint caretakers) 2004â05 Ian Atkins 2005â2010 Paul Trollope 2010â11 Darren Patterson (caretaker) 2011 Dave Penney 2011 Stuart Campbell (caretaker) 2011â Paul Buckle
Ah, but we haven't had a rich man pump tens of millions into our club and still end up as abject failures with falling attendances, 7 points from safety and no new stadium! Sleeping giants!
changing 11 players and your manager to be abject failures in division 4. calling yourself the biggest club in the division, sleeping giants yes
Sorry, Wigley must share the blame for the awfull start to the season, I believe alot of Millens problems came from Wigley, tacktics, gameplan, set-up etc etc Millen took too much notice of him.
If the decision to also remove Millen from the clubs employ had been taken when Johnson left we might not be in the bleeding mess that we are now. Just a thought.................
... a guess? He was an asset, links to U21 and with all the "talent" out there dont think the FA would have him if he was not morethan reasonable Its always the way often useful bits go out with the "spring clean" Totally unsubstansiated comment, how do know KEEF took more than a passing interest in him, look at the 3 teams he put out...I know they lost but so did DEMI's first one. irrelevant to this post
JGF2 - I think the point people are trying to make is it was more of a cultural issue at the club rather than about the results he was personally responsible for. He was Millens man so when Millen went people felt wigley was part of that culture that had failed the club -so he had to join him. Not sure coaching the national side at any level is much to shout about these days.
the point is Wigley didnt follow on with KEEF'S team he changed it and the way we played if he had a influence on Keef surely Keef would have played similar. I am sad he has gone , we have had Calks, Spence and McG IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS.... But yet another new page turns, seen a lot of pages since 1966......
Walshie(Walshie didn't fail IMO),Wigley and Millen have been cleared out after constant failures,thank god we've got a brand new regime of hope that we can all unite behind after 18 months of going backwards.... Up the City....
