I don't. Who is the problem? More to the point who's Knowall got lined up to take his place who's got the financial support to move his forward? Also from that interview it sounds more like Lines has not been making himself available for selection, rather than GC refusing to select him. Not strictly what he said though, is it? He said that Lines hasn't been available to him. There could be any number of reasons for that, be it injury, personal stuff, etc. Slightly different from "Lines not making himself available". The point is he is available and fit now. We need creativity now.

If Lines is saying he can't play because of personal problems etc surely that's the player not making himself available to play for GC, rather than GC overlooking him for selection because he likes playing defensive CM's, which is what some posters have been suggesting. Although I still can't see him being selected until we're safe, or desperate!, against Barnsley

I think everyone knows who is the problem - we have given him time and courtesy - he needs to go and hand over to someone who has the vision, the contacts, and the motivation to take our Club forward. Will he? I hope so. I don't. Who is the problem? I think he’s referring to “El Presidente”

Sounds just like injury to me.

Don't want this to be a GC slating post... BUT, this is coming from the man who said the Mem is good enough, budget is good enough AND the training facilities are good enough AND better than the facilities of Sheffield Wednesday. With that in mind, positive things happening off the pitch is probably the frame for the big screen Then don’t make it one. GC has been here 5 minutes and I know b***** all about the internal politics of Rovers but I do know the ground/ training ground / budget issues are nothing to do with GC. So best not to imply criticism against him. And the pitch at the Mem is good enough, though not much else, probably why other teams have been beating us so often this season. Were we to have some creativity in midfield perhaps we might have enjoyed the pitch as well. Thank goodness for this club that GC is concentrating on the one issue he can do something about, keeping our League 1 place. DC allowed himself to get distracted, thank goodness GC has been able to concentrate on the football. UTG!

Gasheadbatesy, What was entertaining about the football played under DC either at the end of last season or this season before he left? Bloody rubbish, the only place we were heading under DC was back where we came from. We might still go there this season but it will be the Barnsley match whereas if DC had stayed we would have been down about 4 or 5 games ago.

Will he? I hope so. I don't. Who is the problem? Seriously, nor do I? Blimey why do so many talk in b***** riddles? Or is there a confidential agreement in place? UTG!

Just saying that he believes Wael is not the man for the job and hopes they will sell up.

Then it changed to we were but, Wael wanted to stay and keep a small percentage, so it feel through. Might be thinking of someone else, but it sounds like the person I was thinking of, does not like Wael and has an agenda IMO.

Big difference.

We might still go there this season but it will be the Barnsley match whereas if DC had stayed we would have been down about 4 or 5 games ago. No-one knows whether we would have been down by now under DC, or whether he would have done what he'd done in previous seasons and improved in the new year. Whilst I'm a DC fan, I suspect you may be right on that point, but we really don't know. What we do know surely though is that the football was more entertaining under DC than it is under GC. The lack of decent football with GC is perhaps understandable to a point, but surely undeniable.

Sounds just like injury to me. Not to me. Coughlan would say he was injured as he did with abu ogogo. "not available to me" is a vague answer and suggests something other than injury to my mind.

Maybe he has a clause in his contract that states he gets a extension if he plays so many games and GC don't fancy him for next season ?

I haven't criticised GC's managerial skills, coaching skills or management skills. I commented on a comment that he never should have said, because quite frankly - it was a stupid thing to say, and that deserves being criticised for that. I disagree DC allowed himself to get distracted. You think he focused on stadium/training ground over playing football? Really? Sorry, but that is also absolutely ridiculous & very unfair on the man who took us from the 5th division to the 3rd

Think you'll find Knowall was consistently one of the biggest supporters of the owners up until a couple of months ago - despite getting grief from many on here.

Big difference. Lines has played in the last two home Development games and looked perfectly fit to me.

I've already pointed out when you said that on another thread that Lines has denied that is the case, after somebody suggested the same on Twitter.
