- Big Ron Manager is a television documentary series based on Ron Atkinson's efforts as a troubleshooter at the English football club Peterborough United, at the time playing in Football League Two. The series was screened on Sky TV in 2006.
Originally, the show was going to feature Swindon Town and Sky spent around four weeks filming there before being asked to leave by the Swindon management. Peterborough United received a fee of around £100,000 from Sky TV for access to the changing rooms and for Ron Atkinson to assist the rookie manager Steve Bleasdale. Bleasdale was unhappy at Atkinson's involvement in the changing room and subsequently banned him and the cameras from the changing rooms on matchdays. However, later in the series Bleasdale relented after being overruled by Chairman Barry Fry.
Some scenes caused quite a stir in Peterborough when the show was aired, including a dressing room brawl between Mark Arber and Paul Carden and Bleasdale rowing with youngsters Sean St Ledger and Adam Fry.
St Ledger joked about suing Sky TV, after claiming the programme showed him as the team's bad boy, which he denied. The media alighted on this, and he was later forced to clarify that the statement was in fact, a joke.
There were several instances during the filming of Atkinson upsetting Bleasdale:
Although the club were short of funds, he persuaded Barry Fry to hire a goalkeeping coach in Tony Godden
Suggesting during an injury crisis to go for Queens Park Rangers striker Stefan Moore on loan. However Bleasdale overruled Atkinson and instead snapped up Lloyd Opara on a free transfer from a local team.
In April 2006, Bleasdale walked out of Peterborough United only 70 minutes before a game against Macclesfield. It was later reported that this was due to clashes with Atkinson. Chairman Barry Fry put himself in charge for the final two games of the season.
Big Ron Manager was regarded as a low point in the fortunes of Peterborough United. However, it proved the catalyst for future revival. Property businessman Darragh MacAnthony-who previously had no connection with the club-watched the show on television and a few months purchased the club and later became chairman. Under MacAthony's investment and his appointment of Darren Ferguson as the club's manager in 2007, Peterborough gained promotion to League One in 2008 and then to the Championship in 2009.

Big ron massacred that lasagne when he plated up
He’s never had to plate up food in his life his his butlers sort it
Definitely dodged the salad
#Lasagnegate
'Darling, my best friend Ron is coming round. Could you just do a lasagne for 12, a massive bowl of cherry tomatoes, a family size caesar salad and two piping hot cups of tea.'
I agree with Barry the transfer window is a complete nonsense,I thought so from the start. What we had before (one short period when you COULDN'T buy and sell players between the March transfer deadline and the end of the season) wasn't broken and didn't need fixing.
Funny how they didn't mention Sky for ruining lower-league football.
I think it's more than just Sky. The champions League expansion has also been a catastrophe. As has the transfer window and general EFL mismanagement. Lower league football is still very strong though, nearly a decade after you made this comment. Just not what it once was.
@mrhow22 Cheers i got the whole series up now. Enjoy
HBKRichie your a good man
What the fuck was wrong with Barry’s pink house? Fucking everything everywhere was pink.
His missus is worse than fucking Katy price.
I thought Barry Fry was a astute businessman, from his market stall days & up. Never never ever put the roof over your head & family at risk especially for a small football club & fans who don't want you there anyway. Crazy.
He’s a dickhead- fans now still don’t like him a whole bunch
@@pufc7958 speak for yourself.
No, Barry is a football fanatic, optimist and gambler! He literally bleeds the colour of whatever club he is involved with. Legend!
why record them stuffing their faces, odd. Hate listening to people stuffing their faces
I agree with Barry's point about transfers I think Lower league clubs should be permitted to sell buy and loan players whenever they want within reason that would help with the finances and help to keep clubs afloat so people like me who prefer lower league football have clubs to support...
nice upload
Well that was big meal for only two fellas. Hope television crew got some doubt tho since Fry would probably charge them for it. All he does is talking about his money issues running a football club should have listened to ex owner then.
'there's a certain segment with an anti-Barry situation' - LOL
wasted as a manager - could have been a star in the diplomatic corp
Ron Atkinson. The best ever guy while high
Lol.
Look at all those diagrams in the background, way over the heads of these players.
Seems like fry was warned not to go through with the purchase of the club; still didn’t listen and it was clear he was in the shit in this video. Not a great businessman clearly
Barry Fry saw it coming regards clubs finances
big ron is a don
I love Barry fry. An amazing character. Football has produced nothing but synthetic drones for nearly 2 decades now. They don't make em like Baz no more. But this documentary is nowt but Fry apologia lol
Club nearly ruined him.
@@ANDCFC95 so he says. He definitely ruined the career of some football coach tho.
I got big Bleo's autograph
Ron.you made a error a big error you insulted live on tv ...you must now accept to pay the price
Up the Posh 💙
Cracks me up even i could see from day 1 the problem is bleeo.
no respect to the players 1st from the manager. he hasn't a clue
Barry is a conman & Ron is a jokeman
Do as I say or your dropped on Saturday
That's man management
I've seen this with clubs in Trinidad, Star world Strikers, Joe Public etc. It's not like FIFA Career mode
