- Bill_Norman_(football_manager) abstract "William "Bill" Norman was an English football manager.Between 1918 and 1923, he was in charge of Blackpool, who became one of a growing number of clubs to appoint a full-time manager. Before that point, the team selection had been the responsibility of a committee comprising directors, the captain, and vice-captain. In his four seasons in charge at Bloomfield Road he led the Seasiders to challenge seriously for promotion on three occasions.Previously, Norman had been a trainer of the Barnsley side that won the FA Cup in 1912, and he held a similar post at Huddersfield Town before moving to Lancashire in 1918. His waxed moustache and impeccable appearance meant he was an imposing figure. He expected his players to dress in a similar fashion.Upon taking up his position at the seaside, Norman immediately implemented spartan training routines, assisted by his son-in-law, Allan Ure, who was also the club's trainer. This disciplined regime led to his nickname of "Sergeant-major".After World War One, the job of rebuilding the team was always going to be a difficult one. He could rely on a number of established players, but he was also prepared to move into the transfer market as necessary, which he did frequently. His most successful signing was one Harry Bedford in March 1921.In 1918-19, Norman's second season at the Blackpool helm, the club missed out on promotion by a narrow margin, finishing fourth, but the sale of Joe Lane (who had scored 26 goals in 30 appearances in the league) in early March (after a 6-0 drubbing at South Shields, no less) did not exactly endear him to the Tangerine faithful. The following season saw Blackpool finish fourth again.After spending heavily prior to the 1921-22 season, the club struggled against relegation; indeed, only a double victory over West Ham United at the end of the season saved Blackpool from relegation into Division Three North.Despite attracting several critics, Norman led Blackpool to the top of the table for the majority of the 1922-23 season, but once again the team collapsed in the latter stages and promotion passed them by again.In the summer of 1923, Norman and Ure left Blackpool to join Leeds United. At the time of his departure, Norman was the sixth longest serving Blackpool manager in terms of Football League games in charge.At Elland Road, the former became assistant to Arthur Fairclough, with whom he had worked at Barnsley.Norman helped take Leeds into Division One. However, when the Yorkshire club was relegated in 1927, both he and Fairclough resigned.Norman joined Hartlepools United as manager, and although he didn't have much success at the Victoria Ground, he did discover W.G. Richardson, who later became a star with West Bromwich Albion. Norman was Hartlepools manager until his death on 16 September 1931.".
