Brian Flynn next Blackpool manager?

[Dutch Uncle]

Wild Rover - I think you have a good point regarding the contrariness of Rovers fans for most of the last 50 years. However I  can't remember too many shouting Bloody Rubbish Bremner.

[Wild Rover]

That's very true, but, none the less factual, I don't mean 40.40.20 ( neither in the cases of DP or SOD ), but in all cases the "Manager" had "Friends and Foes". I buck the trend with SOD, didn't take to him at all,( nice football , pretty as a picture, but generally lost on me ) yet DP I really liked. DS I sat on fence, Likewise PD. I guess throughout my tenure as a fan I have fence sat a lot, liked 2 or 3 ( Stan Anderson, Bremner and Penney) Sat on fence a lot as I said.

[Derby Viking]

And I think everyone agreed that Steve Wignall was very very poor

[Wild Rover]

I put SW alongside Dave Cusack as my LEAST FAVOURED.

[BillyStubbsTears]

And yet, as I've said times many, Cusack took over just as Bremner's side was being dismantled, and STILL took us to our highest league finish between 1957 and 2005.

[Wellred]

Unfortunately its a generation thing. It is symptomatic of the times we now live in.
The I want it and I want it now mentality.
Instant success or sack him.

[Wild Rover]

Excuse me Wellred, is that an insinuation that I am in some way simply wanting instant success, well , its been a long time coming, since 1964 I reckon,or is it a generalisation. See, I guess I am same generation as yourself.

I know what I like in a manager, DC didn't tick too many boxes im afraid.

[Wellred]

Sorry WR It wasn't aimed at you. It was a generalisation aimed mostly at some of the "more recent" supporters shall I say!

[Wild Rover]

That's ok. I guessed it might be aimed in a different direction. Just wanted clarification, which in fairness you have given.

[roversdude]

And didn't Penney do well with Wignalls team

[wilts rover]

Do you know, I don't remember a time when the concensus of opinion around DRFC manager was unanimous in favour.
PD divides as did BF,DS,SO'D, DP,IS, Going right back to Bill Leivers. ( cant go back further as that's when I started watching DRFC ).
I suppose it wouldn't matter who was in the "Hot seat" 40% would be in favour, 40% against and 20% not arsed either way.

Bremner was seen as a good choice, in both spells, if I remember correctly.

[roversdude]

it was i agree too defensive.
Penney was fortunate in the team he inherited, however when plan A didnt work there didnt seem to be a plan B - remember Ull away.
That said some of the football played and memories created were amazing

Sorry to drag it back onto the original subject...

From the Blackpool Gazette : http://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/sport/blackpool-fc/flynn-top-of-pool-s-shortlist-1-6638675

Brian Flynn is the latest name at the top of Blackpool’s managerial shortlist.

The 58-year-old, who is director of football at Doncaster Rovers, is now in pole position for the Bloomfield Road hot seat.

He is one of six candidates the Pool chairman has spoken to since starting his manager search following the departure of Barry Ferguson three weeks ago.

Flynn is vastly experienced, with over 700 games as a manager, most of them during a 12-year reign at Wrexham from 1989.

He has since managed Swansea and Wales Under-21s, also taking charge of the Welsh senior side on a temporary basis.

He took over at Doncaster in January last year and led Rovers to the League One title.

Despite being offered the Doncaster job long-term, Flynn opted to move upstairs to allow Paul Dickov to manage the side in a Championship campaign which ended in relegation on the last day.

The Welshman is keen to make the step back into management and is ready to accept the challenge at Blackpool, who have been without a permanent manager since the sacking of Paul Ince in January.

While all the names on Oyston’s shortlist have not been revealed, he is known to have been monitoring Dutchman Ricardo Moniz, boss of Polish side Lechia Gdansk, and Dundee United managerJackie McNamara.

Blackpool fans particularly enamoured with the news too : http://fansonline.net/blackpool/mb/view.php?id=1816544

[wing commander]

I would be amazed at this,I spoke to him recently and he said he had no desire to go back into management due to the stress and was happy to end on such a high...seemed very content with his current position,but then again it was at the golf club...lol

[since-1969]

I would have thought considering what he has done for Rovers past and present that he isn't being treated with a more respect .

[RedJ]

What exactly is disrespectful about how he's supposedly being treated?

[since-1969]

Quote derby Viking :We won promotion despite Brian Flynn, not because of him. 

There is few more on here.

"Despite being offered the Doncaster job long-term"!!??
When was that?

[steve@dcfd]

Blackpool have done U turn because Brian could not get a back room staff quickly and fans not happy.

[silent majority]

That's a blessing in disguise for Brian.

[Derby Viking]

So assuming BF knows about our players who will soon be out of contract - how many will he want to take to Blackpool with him?

None, if the above is correct about him not going to Blackpool.
