Big Ron Manager Ep5 (4/4)
Big Ron Manager is a television documentary series based on Ron Atkinson's efforts as a troubleshooter at the English football club Peterborough United, at the time playing in Football League Two. The series was screened on Sky TV in 2006.
Originally, the show was going to feature Swindon Town and Sky spent around four weeks filming there before being asked to leave by the Swindon management. Peterborough United received a fee of around £100,000 from Sky TV for access to the changing rooms and for Ron Atkinson to assist the rookie manager Steve Bleasdale. Bleasdale was unhappy at Atkinson's involvement in the changing room and subsequently banned him and the cameras from the changing rooms on matchdays. However, later in the series Bleasdale relented after being overruled by Chairman Barry Fry.
Some scenes caused quite a stir in Peterborough when the show was aired, including a dressing room brawl between Mark Arber and Paul Carden and Bleasdale rowing with youngsters Sean St Ledger and Adam Fry.
St Ledger joked about suing Sky TV, after claiming the programme showed him as the team's bad boy, which he denied. The media alighted on this, and he was later forced to clarify that the statement was in fact, a joke.
There were several instances during the filming of Atkinson upsetting Bleasdale:
Although the club were short of funds, he persuaded Barry Fry to hire a goalkeeping coach in Tony Godden
Suggesting during an injury crisis to go for Queens Park Rangers striker Stefan Moore on loan. However Bleasdale overruled Atkinson and instead snapped up Lloyd Opara on a free transfer from a local team.
In April 2006, Bleasdale walked out of Peterborough United only 70 minutes before a game against Macclesfield. It was later reported that this was due to clashes with Atkinson. Chairman Barry Fry put himself in charge for the final two games of the season.
Big Ron Manager was regarded as a low point in the fortunes of Peterborough United. However, it proved the catalyst for future revival. Property businessman Darragh MacAnthony-who previously had no connection with the club-watched the show on television and a few months purchased the club and later became chairman. Under MacAthony's investment and his appointment of Darren Ferguson as the club's manager in 2007, Peterborough gained promotion to League One in 2008 and then to the Championship in 2009.

    I actually felt sorry for Bleao, he was over emotional, and over the top, you could see the pressure in his persona all the time, trying so hard to get Peterborough promoted and having to deal with politics left, right and centre...Not sure what hes up to these days, but i hope Bleao is doing okay 👍.

    Everything Ron said was with the intention to undermine bleo but was delivered in such a way if bleo confronted it sly ron could just pull the you're being sensitive card and you have the problem. sky/ron uttur trash but it was a bloody good program must admit!

    @TomuCow Před měsícem

    This was so rotten on bleo the poor guy never got a chance as a manager with this circus. Ron was so sly and a not a trouble shooter but a trouble maker through out no doubt was part of the deal with sky.... Poor bleo had his balls in a noose and he tried to roll with it but he ended up having to resort to petty passive aggressive acts to take back some control in this ridiculous situation he was put into by barry fry.

    Ron was right, it's not easy for someone to go from being 'one of the lads' to being a boss, suddenly your mate who you've had beers with is telling you what to do. I've seen this happen in companies I've worked for. On balance it is more likely to end in failure than success. In an ideal world, players will walk over hot coals for their gaffer and certainly not give them lip when asked to do something they don't like.

    St ledger is the perfect example of how NOT to be in life in any job. What a little prick. Glad he ended up as a non league journeyman. Tht he was the big I am. He clearly needed someone earlier in life to stop kissing his back side and smack it instead. Attitude stinks. Ask any teacher now and it’s even worse these days. This is the attitude of some kids nowadays.

    St Ledger had no respect and thinks he was above everyone at that club.. He cost them points himself. I feel sorry for Steve Bleasdale i think he wasn't given a fair chance and soon as Atkinson came in he was basically hung out to dry and the big cats in the club all showed no back bone.
