I think most fans would get over his departure pretty quickly. Until our new manager started losing, then they would all pretend they'd wanted GC all along. I did want him all along and have said it all along. However if he left I wouldn’t be gutted . Which I find strange considering he kept us up. I just can’t warm to him for some reason. I think it might be because he’s not as likeable as DC . But then DC is a legend in my eyes. Thing is I wanted DC to leave when he did , I don’t think he would have kept us up. Would I want him back now ? No. Football is weird.

Surely we hold the cards here?
He’s on a contract
We want £2 million compensation, their goalkeeper, centreback, Carey and any old striker
Promote Hargreaves and Mansell and we all shake hands and carry on?

Will Hargreaves be here much longer ?

Only at Rovers, and on Gaschat, can you find an 18 pager on our manager being favourite to drop down a league to a different club.
Thinking about it now I reckon the trouble makers spreading takeover gossip may have a part in this too.

GC said in his interview yesterday that every manager wants to move far and higher I wouldn't say going to Plymth would be a progression. A club who spent money on their stadium that they didn't need to do and not on their squad and got relegated. I suspect that alot of the people putting money on him are Plymth supporters who want him back.

There's more to it than that as he's now 2/5 on the next favourite is Holloway at 8/1, either the bookies are convinced GC will get the job or there's big money is going on him getting the job, those type of odds usually mean the manager has already been decided. it's strange given what GC said last night.

Odds have been like that for manager's that have not got the jobs loads of times. If they know, they stop taking bets anyway. Manager's odds are the main time, when the favourite does not always win, because most people who are betting, are just guessing. In the past when we needed a manager, every few days a manager went odds on.

He didn't exactly rule out the Plymouth job. He certainly didn’t rule himself out and what I found interesting was the possible length of contract he has with Rovers. Geoff mentioned 2 years left which we all assume he has, but GC seemed to suggest that may not be the case, or did I hear that wrong?

DC is next at 6/1. Think Flynn is a good bet at 25/1, if Newport lose the play offs, can see them trying to get him.

He didn't exactly rule out the Plymouth job. It's known as keeping your options open. GC has no affinity with Rovers, we're just the club who gave him a start. There is no love-in between him and the fans, he has kept it strictly business. I believe he said on Having a Gas that he is ambitious and that if he was offered the opportunity to advance his career he would take it. Therefore, if we are near the top and playing well at Christmas, and a Championship club that is struggling sacks their manager, if they offered to job to Coughlin he would take it. I seems to me the bloke is completely honest. There no faux badge-kissing with him.

With DC going to Walsall and Hurst looking like he's going to Scunthorpe, that's 2 potential manager's for Plymouth gone.
So even more likely they will look for someone at a club already.

Very possibly a mutual break. The club isn't in the position to pay off 12 months of a contract if GC was doing sh**e but it may well be that it cuts both ways. I get the impression that somehow GC would keep us in L1 and if he goes, then whilst he isn't everyones cup of tea, we might be worse off for it.

Just hope he hasn't sacked the first team coaches then moves on himself that would be a bit of a nightmare...
