mancunianfox Posted 4 October 2007 Posted 4 October 2007 Not much has been said about him since he joined. Anyone know anything about the bloke?
skinnydipper Posted 4 October 2007 Posted 4 October 2007 Seen him in the Wheeltappers and Shunters social club
Ric Flair Posted 4 October 2007 Posted 4 October 2007 Apart from his superb Moustache, he's also meant to be a very good motivator and was heavily involved in unearthing some of Megson's best players they signed whilst at West Brom.

Sounds interesting, he wasn't at forest either was he? Also from wikipedia: "Burrows was diagnosed with cancer of the kidney, and spent several weeks away from The Hawthorns in order to recover from major surgery."

No he wasn't, the one reason a lot of Baggies fans think was behind Megson's failings at Forest. Burrows was actually offered the West Brom job after Megson left, but declined as a mark of respect to Megson.

Thats a pretty impressive show of respect. Maybe Megson realised that he missed his input at Forest and made sure that he brought him in at City?

I would have thought so. Burrows didn't join him at Forest due to family reasons. But i'm sure Gary's glad he's with him here, he needs him.
Fat Ron Posted 4 October 2007 Posted 4 October 2007 Seriously though, speaking to him after the Wolves game (Frank not Seth!!), genuinly nice bloke. You can see that the players have immeadiate respect for him.
Geo V Posted 4 October 2007 Posted 4 October 2007 That hat must have been with him since the 60s. I haven't seen a quality tash like that since big old Micky Quinn turned up at Filbo with Newcastle in the 80s.

Geo V Posted 4 October 2007 Posted 4 October 2007 Not much has been said about him since he joined. Anyone know anything about the bloke? He is a spit of WWE legend Sgt Slaughter
Kent Fox Posted 4 October 2007 Posted 4 October 2007 Not much has been said about him since he joined. Anyone know anything about the bloke? Only that, in this picture, he is shouting towards Carl Cort: "What? This ginger bloke? He's the gaffer. You tell him to take his fcuking hands out of his pockets"
mancunianfox Posted 4 October 2007 Author Posted 4 October 2007 He is a spit of WWE legend Sgt Slaughter He looks like him in the first photo I posted. Big chin.
MPH Posted 4 October 2007 Posted 4 October 2007 He is a spit of WWE legend Sgt Slaughter at least we know what he was upto when he didnt follow megson to Forest.... fair play to him... would never of suspected that...
MPH Posted 4 October 2007 Posted 4 October 2007 Not much has been said about him since he joined. Anyone know anything about the bloke? i think that second pic says alot about them both....
Manwell Pablo Posted 4 October 2007 Posted 4 October 2007 Theres something increadibly sorded about that picture of SGT Slaughter.
Tabou Posted 1 November 2007 Posted 1 November 2007 Now the mods can feel free to move this elsewhere, but to be honest I CBA to find an appropriate topic to place it. I understand that Milan Mandaric is activley interviewing for the new manager. But why? Taggart and Burrows, whilst only been in charge for two games, have bought a sense of belief amongst the fans and players. I understand its early days. I understand we need stability. Im not suggesting for one minuite that MM should offer the position to them, but why not give it a couple of weeks? Towards Christmas maybe? I know time is of the essence. But We have had 2 solid performances in the last two games. See how we get on at Colchester on Saturday. If we come away with a win, or at very least a noble performance, then why is there the big rush to find a new gaffer? Who's with me?! Anyone?....
Phlashman Posted 1 November 2007 Posted 1 November 2007 Yeah, Frank and Gerry are doing a great job. But lets get a proper manager.
Stevosevic Posted 1 November 2007 Posted 1 November 2007 Did five live say that Jewell and Reid have been interviewed? If true, there's only one choice Milan! And it's not Reid!
Jay Posted 1 November 2007 Posted 1 November 2007 I really don't understand this proper manager thing, what exactly is a proper manager? did Watford appoint a "proper manager" when they gave the job to Aidy Boothroyd and look where they are in the league on the other hand is Peter Reid a proper manager because he has managed clubs before? it's not about being a proper manager it's about being the right person for the job at the right time whoever it may be
mancunianfox Posted 1 November 2007 Author Posted 1 November 2007 Thought I'd resurrect this thread...not suggesting he should get the job or anything but he's doing a mint job so far and deserves some credit. I think if another manager came in he would be well worth hanging onto as a member of the coaching staff. Well done Frank.
