@@Dblue862 one is a successful manager. One of the 0.1% in his field. One is like you. A rando who was given a chance on the condition that Fry could make a twat out of him on TV. Bleasedale's only mistake was accepting the offer. A mistake you'd have probably made too.
"My honest opinion is our team need to win. We don't want to get beat". This sums up how out of his depth Bleasdale was. He had no idea of what he was doing and resorted to spouting absolute one liners and shouting.
? Lincoln play in Red / White, Swindon Town play in red, Yeovil Town play in green hoops, Northampton Town play in claret, Grimsby play in black / white etc
Its very evident that Ron+Barry are doing everying to help Bleasdale. Yet, he simply sees it as interference. Its very evident why he's equally failed at other clubs.
Though it riled him, he shouldn't have openly disagreed with Ron at 3:55. In a way, assuming this wasn't heavily edited, Bleo's told them to raise their game 10% and then Ron's expanded on that...then Bleo jumps back in, disagrees and muddies the waters for the players.
I feel a little for Bleas - you can tell Ron was going to undermine him from the get-go. That said, he was well out of his depth and pretty bloody clueless as a manager.
Or the players weren't willing to admit it to Ron Atkinson's face? Who the fuck knows. I feel like my IQ is falling through the floor by reading these comments. Putting the phone down. Retards.
@@Scallion_D the way the bloke was treated was brutal af. He is literally "just some bloke", and now has to live with rando nobodies quipping away with their thicko takes on him. Harsh.
@@tooshlong Well in regards to my comment whether it's true or not isn't that relevant. His reaction to when Ron mentions it to him is simply funny. As the above comment says it's very David Brent.
Madness to think a professional football club was run Like a Sunday league side an owner who wants to be the manager an ex manager wanting to pick the team and then a manager who was being undermined massively
just shows the difference between being a coach and a manager is very different. When your a coach you can be everyones mate but when bleasdale stepped up to manager it was hard for him to deal with the different personalities and confrontations associated with the job.
As much as I don't agree with the managers approach (lack of concise constructive instruction) Ledgers attitude is so bad. Makes you really think how hard it must be to manage. It must happen to better managers too
Awww I could cry for poor Steve. He puts his heart and soul into it and think he could have been great given the right circumstances and environment. Hope he is doing well the poor fella.
Not at all, heart and soul aint enough, every single fan at every single game wishes he was good enough to play for that particular team, you must have talent, skill and knowledge as well. To prove that Steve was useless...he's a wedding photographer now.
These lower league managers always think they are tactical geniuses. That Logan who told him he was a professional footballer. Opara was a great signing.
These lot are 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 team even manager Bleo hasn’t got clue his opponents before the game. While Ron is sitting in corner in dressing room biting his lip.
There was a reason these players where playing in league 1 is because they wasn't good enough to play at a higher level it doesn't matter whether big ron was there or not
You can see that Ron would of rather managed the team himself, as a caretaker at least to the end of the season. Even if he said earlier he didn’t want to. I think Barry should of just hired him as the manager. This is why Bleo couldn’t make it in management, changing the formation ever game is ridiculous.
He's played for about 20 different teams, after us he went on to Kidderminster and then his career petered out really, he plays non league for alfreton in the conference now!
not really before ron came into the fold he was winning games and doing well as soon has ron came in the form slumped and the players started being nobs and disrespecting the manager
Ron literally spent his time undermining Bleasedale Infront of the players throughout the whole series 😂 irrespective of how poor Bleasedale fared, he was hardly given much of a chance with these antics from Fry.
Barry Fry: "I haven't had a cigar since the old king died."
Fry would have been seven years old.
Different time.
Whoever was in charge of music for this little series was a fucking legend
Different gravy this innit Danny boy! P.s. fancy seeing you here!
Classic mid-2000s music.
Think Jeff picked them
"That's what I was wanting, big bollocks" Ha ha, there is some real comedy gold in this series.
Who would have thought Bleasdale would become a successful Premier League and Champions League manager after this.
Ron's advice in the dressing room is pretty good
5eurocups2005 Now that’s how a proper manager gives advice to his players, not by shouting constantly like Bleasdale seems to do.

Manager was out of his depth.
Never thought I'd say this but you could see exactly why Big Ron managed at the highest level.
I mean the way Ron understands and looks at the game is so clearly better than Bleas - must have been well embarrassing to constantly be upstaged.
@@Ryotbh Ron also knows how to handle people too.
Yeah Ron’s criticisms are followed by softly spoken encouragement, no shouting required.
"My honest opinion is our team need to win. We don't want to get beat".

Good to see our southampton hero Lambert on here while watching this nice extra suprise ;)
Every team plays in yellow or blue in that league.
? Lincoln play in Red / White, Swindon Town play in red, Yeovil Town play in green hoops, Northampton Town play in claret, Grimsby play in black / white etc
Iffy was proved right. Atkinson just meddled.
His feeling...."He wants a win, or not get beat."
They lose !
"big bollocks, that's all it is" haha
This would be a great mockumentary syle sit-com.
Sportings David Brent ... AKA , " Bleo "
Funnier than Spinal Tap.

11:04. Bleo's reaction. Knows he's been caught out in a lie. 😂
Almost ‘Brent-esqe’

Lol!@@macca696

Have you watched Mike Bassett England Manager?
"if you get beat by having bollocks, i don't give a shite. Big bollocks, that's what it is"
Useless manager was Bleasdale
As much as I don't agree with the managers approach (lack of concise constructive instruction) Ledgers attitude is so bad. Makes you really think how hard it must be to manage. It must happen to better managers too
Opara plays like a competition winner
these are a 4-4-2 team or a 4-3-3 team.
Awww I could cry for poor Steve. He puts his heart and soul into it and think he could have been great given the right circumstances and environment. Hope he is doing well the poor fella.

That pie crust at 7.55. Who the hell eats a pie like that?
inspector_melvin someone who desperately needs their hard drive checked

So glad to see steve bleasdale's career flourished.....erm...yeah

Bleasdale the ‘cliche king’......... nob
That steve would be a good warehouse manager at tesco
Rickie Lambert playing for Rochdale haha
11.20 why does Ron turn in to Terry Tibbs?
Big bollocks, there's the secret.

The commentator's annoying, everything is "can he spin/turn, he can..."
Bleasdale shit stirring with Gainy and his midfield partner. He asks for input at half time...... which Ron gives.
He's played for about 20 different teams, after us he went on to Kidderminster and then his career petered out really, he plays non league for alfreton in the conference now!
It would be amazing now!!
BOLLOCKS! BIG BOLLOCKS!
NoMoreHideTheBall I HAVE BIG BOLLOCKS WHATS YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM

Cliche shout repeat. Cliche shout repeat 😂😂
Cracking player What ever happened to him?
Iyesden Christie played for my team, Mansfield, and he was pretty good for us haha!
lovely guy. barry fry....
We don't wanna get beat
Who is he referring to when he says old King 😂😂
Maybe he was a big elvis fan
George VI.
Underrated comment!@@macca696
11:00 onwards very awkward
Jesus, Iyesden Christie scoring past your team means you deserve to be sacked.
ron carried them !
The team is kinda shit, but not so bad they couldn't win in League Two... if you ask me even if Bleasdale was coaching Barcelona he couldn't win xD
Fry slagging players off ' seem to think he wasn't to great
plymouth argyle should do this. a cool million from sky in the bank
Big Bollox!
He’s soo fucking cringeworthy it’s painful. Is it for the cameras all the big bs speeches? Ron comes across as quite eloquent in comparison.
Classic case of 'Winging it'
Run hard.
Kick something.
Big bollocks.
My niece would coach them better.
Why the hell is racist Ron in the dug out?
allthewine He’s forgotten more about football than you know.
Ron literally spent his time undermining Bleasedale Infront of the players throughout the whole series 😂 irrespective of how poor Bleasedale fared, he was hardly given much of a chance with these antics from Fry.
😂big bollocks hahahahahaha
