So, out of morbid curiosity, I had a look at how Cardiff are doing. Turns out they’re top of the league—played five, won four, drawn one. And yes, that’s Brian Barry Murphy at the helm. The same Brian Barry Murphy we once treated like he’d just wandered in off the street with a traffic cone on his head.
Maybe this is his road-to-Damascus moment… or maybe football’s just a glitchy simulation and we’re all NPCs. Who knows?
I do like to check in on the ghosts of Rochdale past—Blackpool, Peterborough (which, let’s face it, is basically Dale in exile). And now Cardiff. I’ll be watching. Like spotting Jamie Lee Curtis in Trading Places—who knew?.
Trading places - so good that film... |  | | |  |

I thought you had had enough of this forum after 33 years you said, and wouldn't be back. How strange you are back. How do you think Little Jim as you called him is doing? You hated that he had been appointed.
BBM is doing okay for himself at Cardiff. Remember he walked away from us. And it looks like all that time in Youth Football and shadowing Van Nistelrooy has done him some good. I can only wish him well. [Post edited 26 Aug 15:03]

Yeah, I said I was leaving the forum—so did Frank Sinatra, and he toured for another 15 years. Some of us just can’t look away from a slow-motion car crash… especially when it’s wearing a club tracksuit and giving post-match interviews like he’s reading off the back of a cereal box.
“Little Jim,” bless him—still looks like someone who won a competition to manage a football club and you just know that somewhere in the UK an ASDA is missing its Assistance manager: Nights. I don’t hate the guy, I just think appointing him was like giving your nan a chainsaw because she once watched Gardener’s World.
And BBM? Fair play. Walked out on us, went underground like a tactical monk, and now suddenly he's Cruyff with a hair transplant. Amazing.
But genuinely—credit where it’s due. I hope he thrives, that's why I make a point to follow all the x-players etc. I hope Jim finds his feet. And I hope Peterborough stop hoarding our ex-players like it’s a Rochdale-themed Pokémon set.
Your forgot to give your opinion on trading places...
Go on... have the last word... | | | |

Still didn't care about the club. Good riddanpce to him, not a nice person. Didn't love the club, secret contract and a mate of Bottomley. His associates are poor also. Give me Jim McNulty and his shortfalls a million times over BBM and his lap dogs. Neither of them are welcome back to this club. Jim's done a decent job and when he leaves he willl be welcomed back even if things don't work out. BBM was our worst ever manager for numerous reasons. [Post edited 26 Aug 17:23]

There's me thinking a new soporific timepiece with sideways only hand movement had been released. |  |

I really do wish the worst for BBM, symptomatic of all that was wrong with the club during his spell. He was in cahoots with DB and should be remembered as such. Also, his missus is an absolute helmet. |  | | |

May have been referring to a different type of hand movement... |  |

'Five live' very impressed with how he is doing. Said he has done well at Rochdale even though we were relegated! |  | | |

No matter how well he does elsewhere, the fact is that he was a total failure at Dale as far as outcomes, as well as being a disgrace in many of his actions. I personally could never wish him well. |  |

They are probably just aware of our draw at Old Trafford and our draw with Newcastle United. |  |

He’s going to win Manager of the Month no doubt.
Actually, so might ours… |  |

This trope really bothers me. The amount of times I've heard/read it - never once from a Dale fan either - makes me think it's just a case of a lie being repeated so often people become convinced of it being the truth! | | | |

He probably drops in “… and he’s not as bad as their current manager either” when eulogising about his time here. | |

Having been through anything remotely to do with Man City he'll be classed as a disciple of Pep, as such makes a career out of over playing a football, Arteta is stealing a living on the back of it too years later. | | | |
