" THANK YOU BBM, LEE RILEY AND THE TEAM "

Sat Apr 25, 2026 5:11 pm

Today was a great day of celebrating and the team put on a show.

But I want to say thank you to BBM, his assistant Lee Riley and the whole team for a brilliant season.

And BBM was class after the game, walking into the Canton stand for photos with kids :bluebird:

Been an absolute brilliant season up there amongst the best for me , looking forward to being in a sold out away end one more time next week watching us leave league 1 with a bang, massive thanks to the gaffer his coaching staff and the players for giving us a memorable year after the crap we've been served the last few years

One of the best managers we've ever had, not just because of promotion but in the way he treats his players and the fans. He has completely rebuilt our football identity too. He will manage in the Premier league one day. We are lucky to have him.

I totally agree, when he came into the stand I shook his hand and could see the joy in his face.

It wasn't just the promotion, he feels loved by our fans and I think he'll stay for a long time if the board share his ambition.

Compared to previous appointments "we've lucked out" where BBM is concerned.

Met him 3 weeks ago after the Blackpool draw and he promised me we finish 2nd.
He delivered that.

So far, BBM has proved to be the perfect fit for our club.
We needed a change of direction of the way our squad played the game and he has provided this.

Before the season started, I thought that if we could keep hold of Salech, we should be a top half team who could compete for the play offs. I was criticised by a few for being negative and I admit I was wrong.
But then, I didn't know about BBM at that time.

After experiencing his style of football along with the fabulous coaching of the squad, especially the younger element, I soon realised we were on the road to promotion at the first attempt.

Fingers crossed for the finances he will need to improve on this squad in the Championship.

Unbelievable job they have done this season Ned with there hands tied and having to use what we have except a few loans. I didn't see it happening at the start of the season but proved wrong :bluescarf:

Let's hope he's backed for the championship or it will be a long season ahead in my opinion. Although I wouldn't blame him if another club come in for him and gave him the tools he wants but I'm feeling he wants to carry on here irrelevant of what he's given from the clowns above, we shall see :bluebird:

Totally agree with you mate, done brilliant this season but must be allowed to bring in whatever players he wants this summer.

Dalman and Choo were there yesterday, best way they can thank him is by giving him what he wants.
