- 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.

Bleo & Ron explaining their tactics is like watching chuckle brothers me to you you to me.
Bleos body language with Ron discussing tactics says "I'm dying to punch you".
Barry Fry's language at the players meeting is hilarious, fackin' this and fackin' that.
Barry has missed his vocation, he should have been a comedian in The Wheeltappers And Shunters Club Oop North.
The funniest man in football ever, without ever meaning to be.
Add to that Big Ron's combover and Danny Crows bad guts and you've got classic entertainment.
When Bleo called the referee a knobhead I laughed out loud.
Bleo when Ron starts talking at the meeting😅
Strangely Bleo has some top coaching qualifications. Just shows you that they mean FA really.
Not qualifications that denote success alone, attitude and people skills are a massive %.
Had qualifications but zero tactical nouse and a man management style that was just crap.
"he's got the shits though!" lol
There's nothing like battling balls. And the "collective team" comment is inspired. Fuck me, Ron knows his stuff.
Hes a Disgusting unpunished boy he insulted a nation ...he needs to be stripped of his wealth and be made to pay off the insulted
Barry Fry, I've never seen a man in a suit swear as much as that.
Dan Peña?
At least he dresses proper!
St Ledger a legend in his own back garden 😱😱😱
Barry Fry and his’ sales meeting ‘
Funniest 😂 ever
"Go and shit quick."
Lol.
I really dont think you can give Bleo too much shit. His players were never bothered about winning games, some of them just wanted to act like they were top dog.
The black dude who appeared first is my teacher wtf mr opara
Supreme Memes22 gotta love opara😂
Init same
He teaches pre
he is my teacher now he moved to my school after derby
He is now a deputy head in my school 😂😂😂
No surprise big Ron is a fan of JT
Always nice to remind Posh which county they're actually in. No wonder they're all so confused.
How much does Fry swear lol
He's got the shits. 😂

Trust Big Ron to like John Terry over Rio Ferdinand.
That manager reminds me of John Carver!
Reminds me of drunk Jim Carver
Tim Ryan, the 19? He's standing in front of you wearing the no. 30 shirt Bleo.
He meant marking the No. 19 for the opposition.
Ron he knows what hes on about
Disgusting dirty ron hes a real filthy mouthed bigoted man
8:21 😂
Watching this you realise football management is just blag
The problem it seems the players thought they where better then they actually where theres a reason they where playing in the lower leagues because thats where there level was
Fry talks about taking responsibility, well he brought big ron in and they failed, hes gotta take responsibility for that. They were doing well before he did that
Worst manager in history xD
Like him or not Big Ron knows his football inside out. They would have been better giving him the job for the last 10 games. He wouldn't have taken any crap from those players
They would have respected a man who once managed Man Utd and won a number of major trophies.
@Walboy Fredo won a cup and promotion with my sheffield Wednesday turned Wednesday into one of the best teams in country in early 90s...
4-4-Fucking-2
7:50 yer Pat Sharp
Dinosaurs.
He's got the sh*tssss
Rio does it, well terry doesn't and John terry is a proper center half
Ron showing his racism again lol
Feel for bleo must have been hard to be given an opportunity like this to have to listen to someone else when your meant to be in charge. This show probably killed his career and any future chances of managing mid tier teams again instead he had to manage teams like Bangor. Shame he seemed so passionate
Passionate yes but had no man management and his tactics were all over the place.
Good prediction there Ron
I wonder how many games bleos got to lose before he decides to listen to the guy thats won trophys for man United 🤔

Scouse effing and jeffing....... he'll need a new larynx way he he shouts. It loses its effect if overused.
H'T in dressing room: "You'll fuck**g do this". Full Time: Posh 0 Cobblers 1.
Crow looks overweight at 19.
Yes I thought so
