Bristol Rob Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 10 minutes ago, petehinton said: Apparently their attendances will go up again now because of people who refused to go to games until he left. I thought they sold out every game home and away and desperately needed a new stadium? How they gonna fit all the outliers back in? I can’t keep up. Hopefully it'll be like when Garner came back to the Mem after he went to Swindon, the meltdown at the end of the game was outstanding. I'm sure there will be usual 'we've got our Rovers back', ignoring the woman beater they signed and the faithful to Joey mob giving them grief.

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering. ... He who has a why to live can bear almost any how. ... Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. ... That which does not kill us makes us stronger.

Open End Numb Legs Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I had to dig down into the lower end of the football stories on the BBC sports page to find a mention of it. It seems not to be a story worthy of much attention. Am I right in thinking he had surrounded himself with mates there? If so this could run on a bit yet. To save money perhaps Rovers will wait for them to move on voluntarily, perhaps rejoining their leader when he gets a new job? It will be interesting to see how their form goes. You would think it would naturally improve without him there but if the regime is essentially the same and the coaches don't see a future there, we could see a further slide.

Don’t do drugs kids… Might be a refreshing change for him to manage players he wants in a squad he’s balanced and prove beyond any doubt he has the nous to take a team from nowhere to somewhere. He’d certainly get backing by both board and fans and that might sway him to do a job he’d actually enjoy for a while. We might just be a stepping stone in his journey back to the top flight but the longer you’re not in a role the easier it is to forget you. They got more chance with Beatrix Potter.

I don't agree with the bit where he says the club is in an amazing position. It reminds me of those old photos of men having lunch sat on steel frames of sky scrapers in 1930s New York - they were in an amazing position too but no one else would want to be them! There is a parallel here with the steel beams of their new stand, so maybe that is what he meant after all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
