Just seen that be interesting to see how he does. Might be a few loan deals to Fleetwood next season!

Head coach on a 3 yr deal

Good to see him.back in the game

I wish him well, like said above I'm sure a few of our youngsters may get some good loan time and actually get games.

John Sheridan will be a tough act to follow ...Fleetwood were dropping like a stone towards the Relegation zone until Uwe Rosler was replaced...Sheridan turned things around...Good Luck Joey...Big chance for you in management !

Great opportunity for him, and also could send 4 of our Dev Squad prospects to play together at a reasonable level.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Wed Apr 18, 2018 3:54 pm

Pleased for him, really hope it works out. He has worked under Sean Dyche, so that should help.

NottsClaret · Post by **NottsClaret** » Wed Apr 18, 2018 3:55 pm

This will be interesting, absolutely no idea which way this will go.

I hope he does well, obvs.

Great news. Best of luck to him. Sure he will do well.

Good luck Joey.
Funny , but the first thing that came to my mind was getting players out on loan. You never know.

Very interesting appointment, quite high profile even if he is new to management. I wish him well and hope that things work out for him.

Claretitus · Post by **Claretitus** » Wed Apr 18, 2018 4:07 pm

Good luck to Joey, I wish him all the very best. He's had a great mentor in Sean, which can only benefit him if he takes a leaf out of his book.

Pre season Friendly?

His mate, John Bradley who hosted the evenings at Colne Muni, has tweeted his choice of assistant is interesting. Any guesses?

Wonder if Sean told him the secret of a good omlette.

Haha. I was literally thinking about him this afternoon and if he'd come back to us next season or whenever his ban is up

KeighleyClaret · Post by **KeighleyClaret** » Wed Apr 18, 2018 4:13 pm

I expect it’s a good way for him to continue playing as well. If he wants success as a manager it’s a good place to start and he has a mentor not many miles away.

Good appointment, let’s see how he does!

summitclaret · Post by **summitclaret** » Wed Apr 18, 2018 4:15 pm

His move to burnley ie dyche could be the best career move of his life. Bet his cv is full of things he says he has learnt of dyche.

Penny for Sol Campbell’s thoughts?

I hope he gets off to a good start in his managerial career.

Blackrod · Post by **Blackrod** » Wed Apr 18, 2018 4:24 pm

Thought he'd come back as a player at a higher level but a good opportunity in management and probably a better contract.

Falcon · Post by **Falcon** » Wed Apr 18, 2018 4:30 pm

I reckon he'll take to management like a duck to water.

Lord Beamish · Post by **Lord Beamish** » Wed Apr 18, 2018 4:37 pm

I wonder if he’s going down the Player-Manager route? Mayhap with an experienced Assistant to guide him through.
Good luck to him. He could be Sean Dyche’s replacement in a few years time.

Good luck to him and fair play for starting at a lower level with an unfancied club.

Be hard to win something there. Suspect top 10 and a cup run would be success?

They’ve a bit of brass behind them and a good set up from what I’ve read. If Joey does a good job, there’s no reason he couldn’t take them up a level.

Good luck to him - if he turns out to be a great manager (he talks a good game) perhaps he could be on our radar in the future.

Sounds like he'll be saying his goodbyes to us at half time tomorrow too

I assume he won't last long there as they do enjoy chopping and changing their managers!

Anyway, I do wish him the best of luck. Will certainly be interesting to see how he gets on. I'm sure he's learned from the best

I wish Joseph all the best. I think he has it in him to become a good manager. He's worked with quite a few and I am certain as I can be that should he look for advice he'll contact his last manager.

I've always thought he would make a good manager. He's thoughtful, articulate and will have the respect of the players.

Moorite · Post by **Moorite** » Wed Apr 18, 2018 9:00 pm

I wonder if his management style will be similar to Seans. I remember on his podcast him saying that ours is a calm and relaxed dressing room compared to other clubs.

Take it that you didn't develop a bit of a soft spot for him after his successful time with us...?

First time round as a player absolutely loved him but just cos he did well for us doesn't change my opinion of he being a gobshite. Don't care how he does either way but my opinion is he will fail, have a big chip on his shoulder, blame everyone but himself and go back to his natural home on talksport with idiots like Adrian Durham

Yep, you’re right, a daft thought!

JohnMac · Post by **JohnMac** » Wed Apr 18, 2018 11:48 pm

Assume he'll be doing the half time draw tomorrow. That should give at least a few of us an opportunity to say farewell in the appropriate manner to a good player who left his mark at our club.
