At least, it should be now a settled summer!
I am expecting a few decent signings now!
The squad should be whittled down, to get rid of Les's dross!

Have to say I'm disappointed but as I have with every other Manager I will be behind him all the way until the point when the fans hound him out yet again!

I'm not sure of the actual figures but I think Ronnie has achieved two thirds of the points available since his come back. If he does that next year he will get 86 points! That should be enough for a play off spot! 
Fingers crossed.

I think what will go in his favour will the expectation levels will be much lower than when he was last here and had a full summer etc.
He says top half will be the target and if we can add a good cup run in there I would take that.

Excellant news indeed, looking forward to a busy summer of transfer activity hopefully.
Sub, why the constant negative comments about ronnie & our fans? He was hardly hounded out last time or do you think Les should have been given longer?

Couldn't agree more! Everyone needs to get 100% behind Ronnie for next season, should never have left us first time round and we'll always be competitive under him. Fans only got on Les's back because they sensibly feared inevitable relegation, if Johnston would have sacked Parry earlier (when he should have) things would never have got so bad for Parry and he would have left on much better terms. Got my season ticket for next season, fancy us to be strong at Prenton Park

There was a time during his last tenure that a lot fans wanted him gone in the middle of one season but he soon proved the idiots wrong and turned us around to the extent that everyone was disappointed when he was sacked.
Lots of Rovers fans have very short memories when it suits.

Obviously you included as far as short memories are concerned, as you moaned about negativity under Les, yet despite RM's turnaround you're one of the most negative on here now.
Yet when he makes a mistake in the future and will deserve some criticism, you'll probably be the first to defend him or something.
Bizarre.

I will back any Manager in charge and always have done.
As I've said several times before on here (short memories again), I would have liked us to take a look at who was available as an option and who knows maybe we did do that and it turned out that Ronnie was the best option.
Either way, now that the choice has been made I will back Ronnie all the way. The same won't be said for others sadly.

Just because people express a different viewpoint to yourself doesn't make them idiots. And not everyone was disappointed when he was sacked.

Fair enough I can't begin to believe that everyone was disappointed he'd gone and that was definitely the wrong word to use (as was idiots as well)!

Great Stuff ! Tranmere are always more positive with Ronnie around the club! always have been! . Its been fantastic since hes been back, i still remember the odd hoof ball game from his last tenure but he always had us finishing in a Top-half position and i'd take that over relegation dog-fights. He knows these lower divisions inside out and seems to have good contacts as we have season long loans for some good players at the moment. That looks set to continue into the next season so its looking good. Season ticket bought already.
Looking forward to a postive season and none of this "know it all" negativity fan with the short memory bringing us down
SWA!

Agreed mate.
The hoofball is terrible at times but it got us to seventh in the League so it is what you might call 'effective'. Winning is more important at the end of the day but it doesn't do much for bums on seats either I guess.
Completely agree with your post though.

Great news,cant wait for next season to begin!
Was always my first choice as manager,cant believe some comments on here saying we should of looked who was available first-absolute nonsense.
Who better than ronnie,he's experienced had success and most of all knows & loves the club inside out.
We'v been fighting relegation ever since he left,the 3 seasons he was here we finished 9th,11th,and 7th just missing out on the playoff on the last day.Then he got the sack for lower attendances,that was a joke,and a complete bluff by the club.Never really did find out why, i heard it was because of the budget cut so i am surprised but glad he's come back.

To know now we have a manger in place now is good ! will he know enough allready of our players to decide who to keep and who to let go ! having been in a possition to make those choices and bring in some fresh faces old or new .......... is a 12 mnth contract ideal to seeing his ideas through, good or bad ? NOT SURE ! is it all we could offer ? or, all he would commit to ? either Way, Like you Sub I'll back our Manager

Was never a fan of Ronnie and would have prefared another person for the new season but will back whom ever is the manager.

Cant believe the negativity towards ronnie, so can i ask for those who dont approve of him to list reasons why please cause i am gobsmacked as to why you wouldnt want him as our manager?
Seen a couple of comments on here about us playing the long ball or hoofin it under rm,tell me a team in this league who doesnt do that sometimes!
Maybe we should hire a manager who wants to play flamboyant attacking football on our budget an see were that gets us- oh we tried that with john barnes!!!

Im happy! I just said I was a bit disappointed we hadn't gone for someone fresh and new!
At the end of the day he shouldn't have gone the first time around really.

Made up with his appointment. Saw OFW while I was renewing my season ticket last week and asked him if Ronnie had signed a 1yr contract. He said he didn't know but hoped so. So hopefully the players support the decision. Under Les we were goimg nowhere but down, hopefully now there will be a renewed spirit in the club. If the Trust takeover goes ahead times will certainly be interesting.

Could be good with a high profile manager like Jose Mourinho
or his ilk but the likes of those manager`s want one or two things before they would set foot over the threshold a high profile club and more importantly a BIG BAG OF MONEY(other wise known as a bottomless pit of resources)(
could not find one that looked like an Arab sheikh).
Could not see Mourinho doing the food on the way back from a game on the coach like Les did and other duties beyond that of being Manager no doubt Ronnie now has to do a lot more than just be Manager.
It could and would be better to have Ronnie at this stage but with that elusive BIG BAG OF MONEY at least he knows the league.

its a great appointment to apoint Ronnie as manager for the new season.the man is a living legend and will do very well.
i hope we can bring in some good players and challenge for the play offs thats is the minimum requirement i would think.

I was hoping that the opportunity to rebuild virtually the whole squad would have been quite an incentive for an established name to have shown an interest, whilst I will support RM and hope he continues to do well for us. Acknowledging we probably cannot afford to pay a bigger name manager, I hope he has the contacts we need to negotiate the type of players we need to do well.
Could we afford the likes of Michael Owen on longer term loan to carry on where Aldo left off?

One wuestion remains for me though.
Ronnie was sacked due to needing to save £1,000,000 in cuts, so how was he hired now, when attendances have dropped and therefore revenue stream since then?
Unless Johnson somehow found the money from somewhere to pay him his old salary, he must have taken a cut compared to last time, in which case, why didn't they try to get him to take a small cut last time, so they could still factor him into the clubs plans, instead of blindly getting shut of him?
Then I ate his Liver.......... with some baked beans and a can of coke.

Hi let `s chill
here I know he played 80 odd games for us in goal before moving on into being a Physio and then a Manager.
The statement about Les`s time at the helm was merely tongue in cheek,as for Les good guy gave us lot`s of smiles
and laughs with his article`s in the programme about injuries and the Physio room he just made one big mistake after the first season in charge ending with the win at Stockport he should have stepped down and returned to being Physio but as any one on this site if they ever play FIFA 10 or Football Manager on their computers if given the chance would jump at the offer to manage the Super Whites as I would and I would take us all the way to the Prem and after a first year of consolidation
in the Prem onwards and upwards to Europe
what next after that World club final play off all of this on Peter Johnson`s budgetRe: One Year Moore For Ronnie

With regard to Parry,it depends what you mean by 'worked'.IMO he should never have been appointed full time manager at all but he should definitely have gone after Stockport. Unfortunately his ego and stubborness wouldn't let him.

Agree.Got totally carried away with the Stockport victory.That wasnt a success story it was a survival story.
Les has proved over the last few seasons that he really isn't a good manager.The one sure thing was that he wasnt going to survive.The squad for this season had the potential
for a play off position but Les never got to grips with the
basics.
