The Stig Posted 4 November 2007 Posted 4 November 2007 Oldham - did a good job, spent 12 years there and turned them from a Division 2 Team to a premiership team. After they were relegated to the old Divison 1, he resigned and went to Everton. Won 37% of his games in charge at Oldham. Everton - 94 - 95 season won the FA Cup, 95 - 96 season 6th in the Premier League, but fell out with Chairman at the time Peter Johnson. Won 40% of his games in charge. Man City - after 11 months out the game he went to Man City. When he arrived the club was deep in the relegation zone, and he couldn't save them, however a year later they got to the play offs and a year after that they won promotion. But they got relegated again so he was sacked in May 2001. He won 43% of his games in charge. Ipswich - 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. He won 43% of his games in charge. He has been out of the game for 18 months. So, theres the stats, would you be happy with him.
SamL Posted 4 November 2007 Posted 4 November 2007 http://media.putfile.com/Massive-Bert That is funny. Please not Joe Royle. We could do better but could do a lot worse. I think this appointment wouldnt show any ambition. Getting someone like Jewell, i think would show ambition. Not very likely we will get him though
dandannieldanok Posted 4 November 2007 Posted 4 November 2007 Better than most managers out of a job and has never suffered a disaster like the much favoured Jewell has at any of those above.
Thracian Posted 4 November 2007 Posted 4 November 2007 It's a commendable record and it is high time we had an attacking manager. Assuming he still has the appetite, drive and patience necessary to succeed here and to cope with Mandaric then I'd be far happier with him than some of the others who've been mentioned. Question is, if Royle comes in for November, who has the attacking pedigree to take the reins in December?

Nah seriously, When I first saw the rumour I wasn't too chuffed, was a bit disappointed to see him linked with us, but the more I see his record the more I come round to him, Anythings better than Megson, but I do believe we can still do better than Royle, equally we could do a lot worse.
Lovejoy Posted 4 November 2007 Posted 4 November 2007 It's a commendable record and it is high time we had an attacking manager.Assuming he still has the appetite, drive and patience necessary to succeed here and to cope with Mandaric then I'd be far happier with him than some of the others who've been mentioned. Question is, if Royle comes in for November, who has the attacking pedigree to take the reins in December? Jose Mourinho Followed in January by Martin Jol
BigGibbo Posted 4 November 2007 Posted 4 November 2007 Ive said for a while now that he would be a good appointment although not my first choice or second for that matter, but i am excited by the prospect of employing the score more than the opposition approach. That would make for an exciting rest of season whether we manage to get promoted or not!

Fox in a Box Posted 5 November 2007 Posted 5 November 2007 Joeseph "Joe" Royle (born April 8, 1949 in Liverpool) is an English ex-footballer and current manager. 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. Contents [hide] * 1 Playing history * 2 Managerial history * 3 Managerial stats * 4 Current Activities * 5 References * 6 External links [edit] Playing history Joe Royle attended Quarry Bank High School in Liverpool where he was an exceptional all-round sportsman. 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. [edit] 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.

Mighty Muzzy Posted 5 November 2007 Posted 5 November 2007 We must remember that to the outside world be are an average Championship side with a trigger happy chairman. Jewell is not going to come her in a million year given our current state. I think one of the trio of Reid, Royle or Souness is about as good as we can hope for. I would give the job to Souness. Rubbish Premiership manager but can do the business at this level (see his Blackburn days).
