Keeping hold of BBM

It's probably too early for a premiership team to poach him. What championship jobs would be seen as an upgrade at this point (considering only struggling teams are likely to change the manager). Wrexham might be a concern. Small club but a big budget and lots of exposure, plus BBM's wife is a presenter so from a family perspective I'm sure that could do something for her career too

Wrexham will have big names lined up if they sack Parkinson.

Bbm seems a man of principles and integrity, he says hes invested in the project here and is enjoying himself, as long as we gain promotion this season he won't be going anywhere neither will any of our players, they are all fully invested in the bbm vision for the future

Vinny is sometimes daft but he is not stupid. I can see BBM signing an extension with a long contract and him saying whatever happens, he is our manager until he says he wants to go then we'll sort out the compo.

If we drop off at the top after Christmas and finish outside autos maybe even mid table people will be after him to lose his job. We know that’s 100% true.

Personally I don’t think this will happen but it might.

the key thing is for tan not to upset BBM enough for him to walk away from us.
At the moment he is here to stay and build on this great team in seasons to come.
I would be more worried about our players than BBM.
Players like the colwell brothers, lawlor and Salech.
At this very moment everything is fine.
Onwards and upwards for the bluebirds

Spot on - It's not just the manager but this group of players - Would love to see us go up and ALL are still here next season.

We can all want him to stay and want all the players to stay but the bottom line is money talks and anyone of them would be off should it be the right money let's be honest here they would be told to go if the figures are right for the club it goes on despite what people think. Aslong as things continue the way they are it's just how It goes with links and rumors but if it all started to go sour then people's opinions go the other way. That's football fans in a nutshell

If we drop off at the top after Christmas and finish outside autos maybe even mid table people will be after him to lose his job. We know that’s 100% true.

Personally I don’t think this will happen but it might.

I also don't think it would happen.

But I've always said that we should keep him even if we don't go up.

Obviously promotion is the aim and we're in a good place to achieve that.

But it's not just that, he's improving players constantly and changed the whole feeling around the club. Yes the young players are getting better but he's also improved the attitude of senior players.

Most people outside of our bubble had us to finish 5th/6th so at this point he's doing better than expected.

The thing is, you hear him get called a young manager. He is in terms of experience but not in age, he's 47.

So if a bigger club wanted him, he might think that he won't get the chance again.

I think it's too soon for a big prem club to come in for him

As someone else said on here I'd be more worried about a Brentford or Brighton coming in for him as he would be perfect for clubs run the way they are

I'm not sure if it was true but I remember something being said about malky turning down Everton because he wanted to continue his work with us, so I'm just hoping BBM does something similar if those clubs come knocking

I doubt he would leave us for a championship club unless it's one that's just got relegated from the prem and looking to go back up

Malky had a good agent. No way bigger clubs were in for him else they would have snapped him up after he left us.

That’s a good shout!

With the help of the ‘Lineker Luvvies’ at the BBC, Malky was built up as the the ‘hardest done by’ manager ever, so should have been snapped up; certainly at Championship level

When the truth came out, Malky (in reality, one of our best managers ever) they dropped him like a Stephen Bywater shot, and it took years for him to be ‘given an opportunity’ at a club again; and that didn’t last long!

So disappointing, as I firmly believe he would have kept us up that season!

Do you honestly think one of our best managers ever?

I didn’t think he had a plan b, was left a spine of a really good team with scope to sign players in his first season on a decent wage budget and then second season a very decent transfer and wage budget. We crawled over the line (albeit winning the championship) but with less than two points per game and then he had another very decent transfer budget and built a poor squad who still couldn’t move away to a plan b. Our form was shocking his last 8 games or so and we were going to end up in the relegation zone very soon. The two other teams who came up had less money to spend and stayed up comfortably.

He gave us the Premier League dream by winning the Championship, and took us to a League Cup Final that we were unlucky not to win against Liverpool, so yes, I think his time here was successful enough to place him amongst the best we’ve had

We were always going to struggle in the Premier League, but we held our own for a while, beat Man City in a super game (for us), and despite a rough period, we were still in the mix to secure our place the following season

I say that notwithstanding the debacle that followed with him, Moody, and ‘Textgate’

Don’t forget that Malkys last few months were clouded by rumours that Tan wanted him gone but he refused to resign. Despite that we still got one over the Jacks and grabbed a few draws.

His record after City suggests he wasn’t a top class manager, but he was a hell of a lot better than Solksjaer.

100% Spot On

There are strong parallels with Kieran McKenna at Ipswich here.

Coached at a top PL team and got them promoted.

As long as he gets us promoted it’s up to us to keep him, as Ipswich have done with Mckenna

Yeah I alluded to to that a lot when I say about the double promotion I think is a possibility.
