Gary Bowyer

I wish people would stop banging on about many years league experience being crucial in terms of choosing a manager.
Stephen Dobbie has been in football for 28 years since he joined Rangers at the age of 12. At 40 yo he is a mature person and a good coach. If not for us, then another club will snap him up.

Alex Ferguson was 32 yo when he started management with East Stirlingshire and St Mirren, 36 yo when he joined Aberdeen (3 Scottish Prem titles, 4 Scottish FA Cups and the European Cup-winners Cup) and 44 yo on joining Man Utd.... just saying, like.

You absolute knob, I was advocating NAPM long before it was a thing. Along with my lad we boycotted and I didn’t see any games under Bowyer or anyone, until the homecoming.

You think only going to 3 games in deepest NAPM days cleans your slate. Only one mushroom mate and it’s you.

The games I saw were on the television, absolutely not a mushroom, apologies for insinuating you were also
 
Gary Bowyer didn't just win the league but picked up the pieces of a fanbase that was divided and uncertain and brought back the feel good factor at Dens Park

Funny how some fanbases can move on and yet you do wonder about ours with talk of mushrooms and NAPM still dominating threads!

Mushrooms who don't apologise for attending home games when the vast majority who post on here were boycotting deserve stick. If they think people will forget well they can think again.
 
Gazette says there's been no contact with Bowyer.

Gary Bowyer - 1/10​

The former Blackpool boss tops the betting having left Dundee just five days on from clinching the title. However, The Gazette understands there's been no contact.
 
1/6 on pretty much everywhere now, the rest are way out.

I have to say if he is to become our next manager it will be because he is right up Sadler's street. Not my choice by any means, another ex manager, not someone that gets you excited at all, not someone who is going to sell loads of season tickets and again someone who will divide the fan base and is frankly just a bit meh.

Of course it's all speculation, but I won't be changing my thoughts about Sadler if he's the next manager but I will be supporting Bowyer fully if he gets it.

Director of football, absolutely, manager, nah.
 
Gary Bowyer isnt the serious boring guy many think it seems

"Bowyer joined the academy coaching set up in the summer to assist professional development phase coach Pat Lyons, replacing Justin Walker. In the close season, Walker made the step up to be a part of the first-team staff and to help mentor the large crop of youngsters he had worked with at academy level.

The jovial, good-humoured Bowyer has been well received at the club.

His first stint at Derby was in 1998 when he was helping the academy before leaving the club in 2004. Behind the scenes he is greatly appreciated for his work and a laugh is never far away with him around, though that lighthearted nature is never mistaken for a lack of discipline either."

He’s just had a kid as well as a grandkid, so he’s clearly not boring. Get him a pair of Klopp glasses and people would think differently!

You clearly haven't read all my posts then, and it's true, he loves a dull manager, Grayson, Quitchley, MA & McCarthy, all dull as ditchwater.

And as for being a mushroom, you clearly don't know anything about me at as I was one of the first people to see the vermin for what they were, decades ago.

Isn't the saying: 'dull as dishwater'? You certainly know how to 'dish' out your cutting comments, I must say, but anymore such slips in future and I think the editorial board at AVFTT may look at possibly having to 'ditch' you...
How witty am I!?!?

Hilarious Spidey old chap, but in reality I did ponder about dishwater and I didn't think it was dull enough, so I thought ditchwater was far more apt and far duller. how clever am I? 😉

Herts is correct - its dull as ditchwater. That said, he should know, because he posts on here like an angry old fart. Bowyer did nothing wrong at Blackpool and he quit under the Oystons after 1 game into the season due to a lack of backing. Herts is seeking charisma, which as far as i know, doesn't feature on the league tables. It's wins draws losses goals for goals against. Charisma doesn't have a place and never did.
Strange fella fosho.

I'd rather have dull than relegation.

It wasn't in the season we went up, after the poor start we were the best team in that division by miles but in the Championship we were dull, but it was more needs must because of the increase in class so I guess you can say he was tactically astute, but he was never going to be able to play like the team did the season previously with a limited budget and the much better standard of the opposition. I think if he had stayed, and knew he was going to be backed then we would still be in the Championship, but his timing was not helpful.

I'm not angry, it's you who posts the vitriol about Sadler all the time. The football under NC in the Championship was dull according to you, so how was this season - any better? We didn't have money to compete and NC overachieved massively. Not sure being fired at Gerrard's No2 and having 12 games at basket-case QPR counts as failure either. Pretty sure if Jurgen Klopp had his back, then he's got something.

To be fair you do sound angry most of the time. Aggressively livid would be a good description of many of your posts . Not the only one on here mind

Got a feeling his contract was up at the end of the season and Dundee chose not to renew it.
