Gorgiesaint Posted 25 March, 2012 Share Posted 25 March, 2012 Just heard on Talksport, I know they've not been on a great run recently but slightly surprised. That said following Eddie Howe was always going to be tough, but they are where I would expect them to be - mid-table in L1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 25 March, 2012 Share Posted 25 March, 2012 Unsurprising, their co-owners think spending a couple of million should guarantee them success, Bradbury wasn't providing it hence got the boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've thrown some serious cash into players over the last 6 months for a club of their size, they should be doing much much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 25 March, 2012 Share Posted 25 March, 2012 Unsurprising, their co-owners think spending a couple of million should guarantee them success, Bradbury wasn't providing it hence got the boot. Yet another example of the stupidity of some football owners (thankfully not ours), replace the manager that they put faith in with only a few games to go before the end of the season while clearly stating that they will not replace him before the end of the season. Not saying they should have kept him, but to not bring in a replacement for the last few matches to let them take a look at the squad is just plain stupidity. But there you go, what do you expect from a knobhead like Mitchell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Diamond Posted 25 March, 2012 Share Posted 25 March, 2012 Yep, as S-Clarke said, Bradbury was given a lot of money and he's spent it badly. Fans didn't like his style of football and the results weren't very good. As for the new man, it's a great job even if you've got to put up with Eddie Mitchell. Lots of money to spend, the big guns in the division will be leaving with poor teams coming down to replace them... It's set up for a play-off push or even automatic places. They'll need someone good though. There's a few naff players in there, but given enough time the new man can build his own squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyinthesky Posted 25 March, 2012 Share Posted 25 March, 2012 I'd really like to see Eddie Mitchell have a go or job share with the (Russian) investors wife!! The team talks would be hilarious!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Diamond Posted 25 March, 2012 Share Posted 25 March, 2012 It's a total mess down there. But, putting Mitchell to one side, Bradbury had spent a lot of money and delivered very little. Very average squad, £800k on Matt Tubbs, plus the fans were beginning to turn on him because of his poor results and style of play. It's a very good job for someone if they can handle working under Mitchell. Money to spend, time to build a squad if appointed soon after the end of the season as they're planning, three of the big guns (Sheffield Wednesday and United, Charlton, Huddersfield) are all likely to be out of the division, there's poor teams coming down from the Championship... Play-offs and perhaps even automatic promotion is more than possible. The relationship with the Echo is nothing to worry about really, that'll all be settled soon as AFCB can't afford to miss out on coverage by the Echo, the Echo similarly will lose circulation quickly if they don't do match reports etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzie Saints Posted 26 March, 2012 Share Posted 26 March, 2012 Hmmmmmm Lee Bradbury, wasted heaps of money, poor results, fans hated his style of play. I know just the place for him and he wont even have to leave L1. He'll just have to wait for Voldermort to jump ship. And he's even an ex skate, must be fate.

The Majestic Channon Posted 26 March, 2012 Share Posted 26 March, 2012 He's better of out of it, who would want to work for an alcoholic big mouth who thinks it's ok for a split arse who can hardly speak the language to take the half time team talk?

RedAndWhite91 Posted 26 March, 2012 Share Posted 26 March, 2012 Hear P*mpey are keeping an eye on Bradbury now... Dave Kitson has only scored three times this season and they feel Bradbury could do a better job up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
