- 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.

"you must have been a big star at doncaster you"
🤣🤣🤣
"I shoulda been manager of the month" hahaha.
😂
😂😂😂
Barry Fry's face when he reads the text from Bleasdale at 5:10 is quality
Lol.
Ron calling on his vast experience and knowledge for the training regimen... "have a kickabout"
Haha, no fan of Bleasdale but those two whoppers trying to twist that into gross misconduct to save a few quid 😂
Fry saying his bollocks dropped out...rubbish, he was over the moon, you could see it in his chubby little boat.
"I resign...wait, I don't!".
Fry only did this so he could get some more cash, but I think Bleasdale was out of his depth to be fair, he was unsuccesful in both other teams who are unheard of... so he's probably not good at all.
To be fair to Steve, his wife needed to come along because
Steve had to bring back the company car, then go home in his van.
SeanMaccaUK -haha....good point....i reckon his missus got a good hiding on the way home
@@kevshearer3245 The other way around. She clearly wears the trousers.
If a Director picks the team the Manager is finished.
He’s brought his wife carol for moral support. I’m pishing my frillys 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"ive won 5 of the last 6"
"erm.....youve won 4 of the last 6"
Big Ron being a savage
Which is the episode with Barry and Ron doing a post mortem of a game in front of the players?
Gross misconduct? I'd call it constructive dismissal.
Ron: "take him black Barry, I mean BACK".
Bleao resigning then begging for a job a week later is tragic
Tbh rather than suing Peterborough Steve could of said to Barry I can't manage the club now so Barry would take over the side for the last few games so then Steve Bleasdale would still be in a football job rather than walking out and managing crap football teams.
He was clearly at the end of his tether and felt let down by the players and the chairman. Bleasdale had sufficient grounds for constructive dismissal, as evinced by this documentary.
Bleasdale was lucky he was allowed stay in the job as long as he did. He had no idea of what he was doing and was clearly out of his depth. He is a spoofer of the highest order and it is no surprise that he went on to do nothing credible with his career after he resigned. His 'manager of the month' statement points clearly towards him being delusional.
@@johnjoe6291 apparently he’d taken all the badges so he wasn’t a complete novice
If you resign you resign. It really is that simple. And if you need confirmation a production and film crew have it on film 😂😂
Damn Right!
Basically Bleo came back for one last scrounge!
He should have sacked him long ago
Does Ron have his own personal driver going to the training & matches? If that’s case, he’s definitely mini Lord Sugar in the making after his retirement. Because I highly doubt his pal Barry Fry is paying for the driver since all he does is complaining about money issues on running a football club.
Got to feel for the manager sometimes fans forget the pressure there on still got bills to pay and a family and your future is in the hands of 11 men kicking a bag of wind about
All about Atkinson, "look at me, I'm here, I'll save the day" just wanted to get his overbearing personality back in the game after his racist comment. Barry Fry just saw the pound notes. Undermined Bleasdale but he was a tit at the same time.
Bleasedale's came across as a tit but was undermined and taken the piss out of from day 1.
Those two auld gits clearly love the game.
Big Ron... & Big Barry 💯
Hard to find a good job after being sacked from Peterborough Utd xD
He wasn't sacked. He walked out on the team. Then he goes on the media and blames Bazz & Ron.
@@dalemcilwain When Fry started picking the team, Steve knew his time was up. In a way, he was kind of sacked. Fry the shrewd man he is put Steve in an awkward predicament, which led to his resignation. If he sacked him, he would have to give him a big payout.
I hope Ron was proud of himself. This was all caused by his pure, blind desperation to get back on the telly.
ah come on... peterborough desperate for cash to survive & sky were paying big ron to come in ... made for great tv... very entertaining...
@@mark.lawrence 👌
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Barry fry is a wonderful human being and more importantly a fucking proper supporter of the beautiful game.
You need to have a clue to be undermined. He clearly didn't and was trying to make up for it with enthusiasm.
Unfortunately all this exposed is sadly how lower league football needs a cull. Clearly not sustainable.
Or perhaps better.....wage caps. Clubs forced to live within their means and not from rich owners 'loans'.
Even premier League clubs are insolvent. Football as a whole is insolvent and has been for the past 15 years.
Then again, it's just followed how the UK has been run in the same time. The labour government started it with the high taxes, high borrowing, throwing money around like confetti and unfortunately the conservatives haven't done any different (which isn't a surprise because politicians of all colours are cut from the same cloth now).
If you want a real man drop me a PM. I wouldn't mind a go.
i dont know who that steve is, but i dont think he deserved manager of the month, it looked like he had an ok start and then it went down the pan, i dont think racist ron helped but hes desperate to get back on tv , i dont think steve has the right temprament for management anyway, hes way 2 strung out, maybe he would be better at a sunday league club as a hobby, i havent seen ron on the tv since this, he does stink of desperation on this show thou, and as for quitting then going to a lwyer, thats just skanky. if i was fry i never would have paid him a penny. if you quit a job then you cant expect a pay off for it lol
I don't disagree with your last sentence but it all depends on the terms of the contract. One never knows what's in these things.
I'd love to see one. One would think it would be as thick as a book but it could be just filled with simple bollocks 🤷🏻♂️
The guy has big Klopp energy
Big Ron’s a knob
