I hope he gets the fair reception he deserves.

Results may not have gone his way during his management but I still respect him for what he did as a coach and as a caretaker manager for us.

He is a very good coach and assistant, not manager material yet but he put 100% in to this club and deserves to be treated as such.

Rob smashingbunchoflads Kelly was an inept twat - he can **** right off.

You say he was inept but he dug us out of the crap in his first season and when he left in his second season we were 19th I believe. Which is only 2 positions below where we are now. And he had no money to spend.

So in that case Holloway's 'an inept twat'. Which is also not the case.

Any evidence of that, Leicester were crap and Preston are crap with him as coach and assistant :dunno:

Bloody fair point actually, but I wouldn't blame Preston's woes on him, or ours for that matter, except for when he was our manager of course.

Anyway, Rob Kelly came to this club as a coach, and was thrown in at the deep end when Kelly was sacked. He tried his best when he was in charge, but in the end it wasn't good enough and by accepting a coaching role he has accepted he isn't a manager, he's a coach. I don't think he deserves any stick from us.

I wasn't suggesting he deserved stick, I just don't get this good coach assistant manager bit. I believe the only place, apart from a 1/2 dozen game run with us he's enjoyed relative success was as Blackburn's Academy Manager

This whole merry-go-round of counter-views is dull. It was dull when he was here and it is still dull now. He did not dig us out of any shit and to view the events as such is superficial and trite.

Throughout the entire time he was here not one person could offer up any evidence of him improving the squad, demonstrating good coaching skills or being tactically aware.

The only thing anyone here can agree on is that he was a nice man. He ruined decent players and allowed potential to stagnate. He couldn't motivate, worse - he allowed a drinking clique to take control of the changing room that still has repercussions on the culture of the club today.

He was not inept because of the clubs league position - he was inept because he could not do the job he was employed to do and didn't have the bollocks to hold his hands up and leave.

Rob Kelly is a cunt.

No I didn't think you were, I was responding to Daggers post mainly. You're right I agree with you, I was being a but premature in saying that he is a good assistant manager. It's been proven that assistant managers can have an imact, e.g Gus Poyet at Leeds and you're right Kelly doesn't seem to have made an impact.

Where did I say that anyone should give him "stick"? :dunno:

An honest appraisal of his time here does not equate to booing the fucker.

Anyway, I can't make tomorrow night so he can have a sound night's sleep and not worry about me :thumbup:

You said he is a inept twat who can **** right off. That hardly suggested to me you were going to give him a warm welcome.

A big sigh of relief has just been heard in the Kelly household as it's been agreed it's now safe for him to attend the match. ;)

I hope he gest a decent reception. I always liked the bloke, weren't the best manager in the world but always gave 100%, and some of the football we played under him at the end of the 2005/2006 season was some of the best down here in recent years.

He may not have been the best motivator or most tactically aware but he did care about what he was doing here and felt a strongly about the club and area. He was the easy option and should never really have been given the job full time. A club like us shouldn't be giving people their first taste of professional management really.

After the Coventry defeat the other week we were in 20th. After the same amount of games last season we were 13th and that was with no Stevie Howard, DJ Campbell, Matt Oakley and Stephen Clemence type signings. That was with Josh Low, Andy Johnson and Gareth McAuley free transfer type signings.

It's a shame that Kelly didn't appoint a Ray Graydon sort of character for last season because he seemed to help out a great deal towards the end of the 2005/06 season. Whether that was Kelly's choice or if the board just wouldn't stump up is unknown.

Agree - like Nigel he got us out of the shit, which was probably mainly due to the change of face factor.

However ongoing, a manager would have to be experienced in the player market and tactically aware, neither of which Rob Kelly was, as a manager at least.

If Milan had have been at the helm then, like Nigel I believe Rob Kelly would have gone during the summer.

It was hard seeing him go though because he was such a nice bloke who seemed to be personally grieving for the side after that 3-0 away defeat to Plymouth!

But that's football. You inspire crap and you get your marching orders.
