Prior to managing Coventry City, you were successful at all of your clubs, why do you think that you failed at Coventry City considering that we had never spent so much on players?

 

[letsallsingtogether]

How did he put up with the smell while at the Villa after all you can smell it from the M6

Good shout mate. A friend of my dad's asked why he signed Peter Shilton but never played him

 

[skybluetony176]

Who gave him the directions to the dug out at HR?

 

[mrtrench]

The spending during the Atkinson and Strachan eras is ultimately what has lead to the club's current financial plight and fall down the leagues. How aware were you of the perilous financial decisions being taken?

Whenever you said "Regis Genaux", did you ever sing it, "Regis Genoux, is it true, yeah, yeah, yeah", to the tune of Metal Guru by T-Rex, or was that just me?

[shy_tall_knight]

Liam Daish, Eoin Jess, John Salako, Paul Telfer - such poor players who each cost over a million, did you ever waste as much money in your personal life

 

[hill83]

Twix or pork pie

 

[ajsccfc]

Toilet roll - facing the wall or outwards?

[torchomatic]

Of all the managers, why did it have to be you?

 

[Moff]

Fake tan or bling which do you prefer?

 

[Johhny Blue]

Are you still "Big Ron" or just "Ron" now?

 

[shy_tall_knight]

If I remember right Eoin Jess was brought by Butcher

No bought by Big Ron for about £1.7m from Aberdeen sold back them for a fraction of that

 

[TrueSkyBlueLiam]

TBH I was more expecting like ' Why did it not work out at City' lol

 

[skybluejelly]

why on earth does he have a comb over.. everyone knows he is bald ,cant he just wear a hat if he is that bothered

 

[singers_pore]

I used to do Big Ron's accounts although I never got to meet him. His company was called CC39 because apparently he thought he was a Champagne Charlie and he was born in 1939.

Anyway here's another question for you Liam: "Ron - you're not very tall so why do they call you Big Ron? Were you longer in the shower than Dion Dublin?"

 

[phildownunder]

IMO Atkinson was one of the worst managers the club has had in my 55 years following the club, given the money he was provided with and wasted. I believe he sowed many of the seeds of the club`s later financial troubles.
Contrary to an earlier post he did not have unbroken success before joining City. He came to us after a huge winless run at Villa and I should think they were as glad to see the back of him as I was when he left City.

 

[rupert_bear]

Was you heart really ever at CCFC ?

 

[RegTheDonk]

When you were burgled did you untie the missus straight away or have a bondage session first?

[ccfcway]

[Nick]

I will donate £10 to a charity of your choice if you ask him on air "Did you smash it?", then say "of course he smashed it, you could go round there any night of the week and see big ron hanging out the back of it".

 

[ccfcway]

I will donate £10 if you wear this to the interview

 

[TrueSkyBlueLiam]

Hahaha i'd love to do that, just for bants, but sadly i gotta stay on his good side
