John McGinlay: Manager

There is no passion left at this club. We all know the players don't give a toss, they are in it purely for the money - but even the fans have lost their passion, becoming too used to dire football and characterless managers and players.

There is only one man who can turn things around: John McGinlay.

The man has passion. The man isn't scared to speak his mind. The man is a born leader and a born winner.

Yes, Hipster will point to the fact that Owen Coyle was a disaster but he was too nice and too stupid to make it as a BWFC manager - McGinlay would be different.

Imagine the buzz around the club for a start. If McGinlay was in charge for the Burnley game next week the Reebok would be full. The crowd would get behind the team and all of a sudden those lazy bastard players would realise they have to put a shift in or face the wrath of McGinlay and the 25,000 fans in the ground.

It would be magnificent.

McGinlay may not have any managerial credentials, but our last three managers all had high points in their careers, but were/are all fooking idiots. Could he do any worse tactically? Could he buy anyone worse than Baptiste or Hall?

Motivation can take average teams a long way. McGinlay is the smart call Mr Gartside.

What about Jamie Pollock instead?

On the subject of John McGinlay, I am going to a Sportsman's evening on Saturday night and John is the guest speaker. £30 a ticket for a 3 course meal.

I'm looking forward to seeing what he has to say about our current situation and I will hopefully take a few photos and post them on here.

There are still a few tickets left if anyone is interested. The venue is in Lancaster so if anyone fancies it just send me a PM.

I get this is tongue in cheek but this former player syndrome really does have to stop.

I get it, I love the "legends" of this club, but they're not "uniquely" qualified in any way shape or form. 

Didn't Campo "apply" for the job on twitter when owhiney coyle left? How about Jay Jay? Per Frandsen said he was doing his badges.

You may as well go for McGinlay.

Your current manager had been a manager for all of five minutes when you took him on, so getting a man in that had been a manager for all of five minutes over ten years ago, would be going with the grain.

Actually CD I quite fancy your manager for us next. If he can polish an odd turd at the Turf like that just imagine what he could do with all the ones we've got???

McGinlay doesn't strike me as over intelligent.

He doesn't raise many good points in his writing for Bolton News or when working for GMR. On the contrary.

In any case, have we not had enough Scots now.

The only turd so to speak at t'Turf was Keith Treacy. He was unfit, depressed and fighting for rights to see his daughter.

Dyche turned it all around (Treacy's admission) and now Treacy looks like a footballer again.

It only works if you don't have any pampered, highly paid ex Premier League players though.

Credit where it's due CD he's done a fabulous job and  if only Freedman could adopt a more humble approach I'm sure he'd get more out of players, ex PL or not.

Fuck off burnley.

Dyche was a coach with the England U21's before he came to Burnley, so there was a bit of a thought process to get him in.

The two recent Bolton managers seem to have been chosen by Darkside because they've done well with other clubs for a split second , he has someone else's money to make it happen and he's bullshit them.

I'll take Campo every day of the week ..... You want somebody that can identify players with true skill not left over donkeys from other clubs. 
Campo or any foreign manager see skill as better than working the good ol shift nonsense.

Fernando hierro in!

Didn't Mcginlay manage a pub team for a bit and they were rubbish...

You're getting mixed up, he went to be a scout at a pub team...(Wigan)

No,no,no. McGinlay is a genuine Wanderers legend. This club is going nowhere under the present regime regardless of who the manager is. I'd prefer Super John to retain his status and stay well away from all the shite that's going down at the moment.

How about Eddie Hopkinsons cap it's better equipped to manage than that scotch tosser.

John McGinlay wouldn't do it for me either I'm afraid no matter how big of a legend he is at our club.
