City Lad Posted 30 October 2007 Posted 30 October 2007 Megson IIThis appointment would show the complete lack of ambition at the club. Thats a bit unfair. Milan has a lot of ambition. Just his appointments have been questionable.
Mav Posted 30 October 2007 Posted 30 October 2007 Just had a laugh, seen Milan Mandaric shopping at Asda, couldn't stop laughing when he asked an old lady struggling to carry her bags - if she could manage? She replied - I don't want your F****n job either.

In his club career, spanning from 1966 to 1982, he played for Everton (debuting at the age of 16), Manchester City, Bristol City, Norwich City, and the England national team. Royle has managed Oldham Athletic, Everton, Manchester City, and Ipswich Town.

Unusually for a Grammar school boy he played for the Liverpool Schoolboys team, which was usually drawn from Secondary Modern schools. A number of clubs were interested in signing Royle, including Manchester United, but it his home town club Everton that succeeded in recruiting him to their ranks.He went on to make 270 appearances for Everton, scoring 119 times. He made his debut at the age of 16 and held the record of being the youngest player to play for Everton until James Vaughan beat the record on 10 April 2005 by 11 days. For five seasons he was Everton's top scorer, notably scoring 23 goals in the Championship-winning side of 1969-70 and winning the first of six England caps against Malta in 1971. He also held the record as being the youngest England player to score a goal until Michael Owen scored against Morocco in 1998. This record was again beaten by Wayne Rooney against Macedonia in 2003. Manchester City manager Tony Book bought Royle for £170,000 in 1974 and he went on to claim further honours as he helped them to win the League Cup in 1976. He left Maine Road in November 1977 to join Bristol City and had a further stint with Norwich City, including winning Norwich City player of the year in 1981, before being forced to retire from the game in 1982 due to a knee injury. In 2002, Norwich supporters voted Royle into the club's Hall of Fame. Managerial history Just three months later he took over the managerial reins at Oldham Athletic. He spent twelve years in charge at Boundary Park, turning an average Second Division club into a Premiership outfit by 1991. Royle's teams won many friends with their care-free, cavalier style. Royle as an individual also received wide acclaims from spectators for his "rave dancing" along the touchline at the end of a game at Swindon. Oldham were beaten in the 1990 League Cup final by Nottingham Forest, and reached the last four of the FA Cup twice (in 1990 and 1994), losing both times to Manchester United. After relegation to the First Division in 1994, Royle resigned from Oldham. He soon replaced Mike Walker as manager of Everton and took them to F.A Cup glory in his first season as manager (1994–95). A year later they finished sixth in the Premiership, but their form in 1996–97 was less convincing and on transfer deadline day 1997 he was not permitted to sign the Norwegians (Tore André Flo and Claus Eftevaag) by chairman Peter Johnson, which led to his resignation. He was named the Everton Giant for 2004 for his successes as both a player and a manager for the Toffeemen. After 11 months out of the game, he accepted the challenge to manage Manchester City in February 1998. When Joe arrived the club was deep in the relegation zone and even though he could not save the club from relegation to Division Two, the next season they were promoted through the play offs and a year later were promoted to the Premiership. It was said in his book that he was physically attacked by Paulo Wanchope, who was at Manchester City when he was manager. Manchester City only spent one season back in the top division, leading to Royle being sacked in May 2001.[1] Royle returned to the game in November 2002 to manage Ipswich Town, who had been relegated from the Premier League the previous season. In January 2003 the club entered administration, which lead to the exit of several leading players and a restriction of transfer and wage funds. Despite this, the team finished 7th in the 2002–03 season, and went on to finish 5th and 3rd the following two seasons. On both occasions the club lost to West Ham United in the play-off semi-finals. At the end of the 2004–05 season Darren Bent, Shefki Kuqi and Tommy Miller – who had scored a total of 55 goals between them – left the club. Their replacements failed to make the same impact, and also suffered several injuries over the course of the 2005–06 season. Despite some successful signings, the team – which had always employed a 'score more than the opposition' approach to football – performed poorly and finished in 15th place, and Royle left the club by 'mutual consent' in the close season. In December 2006, Royle was appointed as a Patron of Trust Oldham, the official supporter's association of Oldham.

who-izzet Posted 30 October 2007 Posted 30 October 2007 I think Joe Royle could be looking at a director of football role rather than manager and if that is the case, it could be a good appointment with a fresh young guy as manager i.e. Gerry Taggart, Mike Newell, Simon Grayson. If this is the case, I think it would certainly rule out Jewell & possibly Grayson and Newell. How would people feel with Royle DOF and Taggart as the MAN?
CupidStunt Posted 31 October 2007 Posted 31 October 2007 Hmm,joe royle,got charisma in abundance that man,lmao,from what i remember of him on tv,not much personality,and seemed to bore me. However his record is pretty good Wouldnt be the best appointment in the world,but not the worst
Jay Posted 31 October 2007 Posted 31 October 2007 he has an eye for a player as well, signed some excellent nobodies and turned them into excellent players if I remember correctly under Royle Ipswich played some excellent passing attacking football. don't get me wrong he's not my first choice BUT it could be worse
Mighty Muzzy Posted 31 October 2007 Posted 31 October 2007 I wouldn't mind Royle actually...surely got to be better than Reid?
The People's Hero Posted 31 October 2007 Posted 31 October 2007 Cos' Megson was alright, I'd have happily settled for him and we were going places under his management! I (for one) realise we can't get the perfect manager, we're an average (prehaps less than) Championship team, A power happy Chairman renowned for shaking things up and your job is never safe with him, but Megson, Now we're linked to Royle, I know we haven't got alot going for us but we can do better than those two for sure. I'm not gonna get back into the argument but Milan should have put his ego behind him when it came to Allen. Thing that worries me is that the interviews with Milan, It seems he is upset about Megson leaving, why? He's saved his money not have to pay him off, Megson was shite anyway, but he's upset about it, As I said i'm not getting back into the Allen argument but at least Milan knows how the majority of the fans felt when he sacked Allen Everytime I read one of your posts I realise than you're even more of an idiot than I'd previously given you credit for. Can you keep surpassing yourself in this way? Can you continue to impress me every post with your sheer idiocy?
Matt Posted 31 October 2007 Posted 31 October 2007 Everytime I read one of your posts I realise than you're even more of an idiot than I'd previously given you credit for.Can you keep surpassing yourself in this way? Can you continue to impress me every post with your sheer idiocy? Why? What's up with the above post of mine? Prehaps I am and idiot and stupid but what's wrong with what i've wrote? Because I have seem people write similar to what i've wrote plenty of times an no-one's seemed to bat an eyelid when they write it, so come on tell me why my post was so stupid?
coale39 Posted 31 October 2007 Posted 31 October 2007 i would love it if Royle came here. Hopefully some decent football.
maddog Posted 31 October 2007 Posted 31 October 2007 Another boring, old, fat loser of a manager coming in then. It's alright he will be in and out in a few weeks. Id rather Milan managed the team than appointing another manager who i don't want. Go on Milan put yourself up for the job.

Yes Milan, Listen to him, he really knows what he is talking about. Bring back Allen.... Run it yourself, put Maddog in charge Tit.
MPH Posted 31 October 2007 Posted 31 October 2007 I think Joe Royle could be looking at a director of football role rather than manager and if that is the case, it could be a good appointment with a fresh young guy as manager i.e. Gerry Taggart, Mike Newell, Simon Grayson. If this is the case, I think it would certainly rule out Jewell & possibly Grayson and Newell.How would people feel with Royle DOF and Taggart as the MAN? nope, this is taggarts first coaching job he cant be a serious contender to be a manager.. He isnt even in temp charge right now, Burrows is. I'd take Royle as the manager. Experienced and knows how to attack.
Raikkonen Posted 31 October 2007 Posted 31 October 2007 please don't ge royle in. Do the right thing Milan
MPH Posted 1 November 2007 Posted 1 November 2007 intresting quote in the mercury tonight... Mandaric is still involved in the search for his new manager with this week's interviewees reported to include Joe Royle, but I understand Burrows and Gerry Taggart will be in charge at Colchester on Saturday and probably at Preston as well next Tuesday. i wonder if it will make MM sit up and take notice if we get 2 more wins from those games....
Ultra Posted 1 November 2007 Posted 1 November 2007 Why? What's up with the above post of mine?Prehaps I am and idiot and stupid but what's wrong with what i've wrote? Because I have seem people write similar to what i've wrote plenty of times an no-one's seemed to bat an eyelid when they write it, so come on tell me why my post was so stupid? Ignore him. Your opinion is every bit as valid as his, no matter how many "mates" he may have. Don't let him bully you. If he gives you grief send a private message to the moderator/administrator on duty. Chances are, they'll already be on his case..
Fox in a Box Posted 1 November 2007 Posted 1 November 2007 please don't ge royle in. Do the right thing Milan based on what exactly.
Ultra Posted 1 November 2007 Posted 1 November 2007 intresting quote in the mercury tonight...I wonder if it will make MM sit up and take notice if we get 2 more wins from those games.... It will make a lot of fans sit up and take notice. Back to back away wins don't happen that often. Especially for a team with a current midfield that couldn't even cut it in the Conference!
Blue Bob Posted 1 November 2007 Posted 1 November 2007 intresting quote in the mercury tonight...i wonder if it will make MM sit up and take notice if we get 2 more wins from those games.... I doubt it will make any difference as I would hope by next tuesday Milan will have made a decision and will have appointed a manager. The results therefore should have little impact. Milan will be looking long term not Barnsley, Colchester and Preston who in fairness we should beat anyway if we were a half decent side!!!! Allen beat Watford - their only loss of the season and still got the boot!!!!
