Breaking News Dave Penney to join Shrimpers back-room staff

[Leicester Shrimper]

Not seen this anywhere on here yet. A tweet an hour ago from Chris Phillips:

@CJPhillips1982: Dave Penney is being heavily linked with a position in the coaching set up at Blues.

 

[TrueBlue]

Interesting I would have thought he would want a managerial position

 

[Medway Blue]

While since he managed though isn't it?

Two wins in his last sixteen matches as manager. Would complement Phil Brown nicely.

Between them that would be 4 wins in virtually a season's football !!

Pretty obvious what's going on here - he is a former bricklayer while Brown was once an electrician.

Perhaps the new stadium will happen next year ? - Ron's apparently having digger driving lessons and Steve Kavanagh is learning carpentry.

Maybe a physio who knows a bit of plumbing next ?

The old Donny manager?

Would be more than happy with this, as I remember them playing passing football, and being a good team to watch, and they taught us a football lesson in the League One play-offs.

Brown also seems to want to bring a better style of football as well, so it could be the end of hoof-ball, and for that I applaud. :clap:

It wasn't Penney who managed Donny to that Play-off vistory over us though, was it? Wasn't that Sean O'Driscoll who is now at Bristol City? Penny had managed Doncaster for a few years but a little earlier than that.

My two main memories of Dave Penney are from his playing career. I remember him being exceptionally versatile in one of the early Championship Manager games (DMRLC in CM94 I think...!) and that he scored Oxford's goal in that 6-1 win over them when Tommy Mooney scored a hat-trick.

On the contrary he was sacked at Oldham for poor league position and playing negative and dull football.

Penney was pretty much a 'must' signing on CM :)

Whoops, yes you are correct. Getting my Donny managers mixed up!

He can **** right off then :winking:

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I think Penney either managed or scored when Doncaster beat us in the FA Cup.

I don't want to try and remember too much because it's too painful. Ranks alongside that Boston defeat as one of the lowest points in my time supporting.

Don't be too down hearted, he still had tremendous success with Doncaster - got them out of the football league, and I believe, got them promoted to League One the following season (or maybe season after). He had a bad time at Oldham, but you'd have to say that as back room staff go, they won't come much more qualified than him - I imagine it's a risky strategy for Brown though, as if he doesn't perform well next season, there is a ready made replacement working for him!!

is this Ron's version of "Look after the Pennies and the Pounds will look after them selves?" :nope:

Dave Penney set to join back-room staff at Southend United

DAVE Penney looks set to join the back-room staff at Southend United, the Echo understands.

More...

 

[Bromley Blue]

I'm actually quite impressed with this move. When Phil Brown was appointed some of you had doubts as to his experience in League Two and I'll admit that I had concerns myself. In order to assemble a half decent side at this level on our budget you need to have an eye for a good deal when you see one. Without a thorough knowledge of players at this level and below thats much more difficult.

Bringing in Penney who will know League 1 and 2 like the back of his hand can only help with this side of things.

 

[lee bradbury is a legend]

Yes Penney scored against us in Donny's 1 nil FA Cup win back in 1998.
What a grim day that was :'(

typical of Ron allways penny pinchin
