What rumours other than the bookies odds? No doubt later today the Bristol Post will be reporting this thread as factual news...... The article suggesting that GC was the favourite was already online last night, including his comments made after the Fleetwood game.

Three things have contributed to this non story. GC says in an interview "whatever happens to GC next season he has always prided himself on leaving teams in a better position than when he joined them. The PASOTI forum speculating about who there next Manager will be and several name GC as being a former player and legend. This forum and certain regular rumour mongers claiming were getting new owners and they want their own man in as Manager. The evil Post and Bookies then jump on the band wagon. I for one look forward to GC being our Manager next season and bringing in the team he wants not the majority of the dross he inherited.

Somebody somewhere must be putting money on GC getting the job or the odds would lengthen. If there's no truth in the rumour no doubt GC will confirm that in his weekly pre-match interview later.

If he does go, who do you bring in to replace him?
Remember - Coughlan's feeling's for Plymouth are equal to that of Holloway for the Gas

Theres always punters willing to bet.on anything. It would appear DC has had loads of money placed on him for every Managers job going since he left us. We all know what he has been doing since then and we all know those who bet on him have lost their stake money. Pure speculation as far as I am concerned.

This is simply semantics at play. At the start of the 2000/01 Ollie was our manager. We ended the season being relegated. He left us in the February and in a dire position. Ironically he moved to QPR where he succeeded in getting them relegated too. So that’s two teams relegated in the same season. He has a history of jumping ship when it suits him. QPR put him on gardening leave when they discovered he was talking to Leicester City behind their back. He left Plymouth in the lurch when he joined, ironically, Leicester City and was relegated yet again. Plymouth are welcome to him. Rovers joined the football league in 1920/21, up until 2001 we flitted between the what is now the championship and League 1 , Ollie relegated us to the fourth tier for the first time in our history, admittedly Thompson was manager for the last couple of months but we were far behind the 5th from bottom team and although Thompson did improve our form with back to back wins and a 6-0 thrashing of Oxford he couldn't keep us up. Although Holloway is a fervent rovers fan and quality player with us I wouldn't want him back as manager. we have never really recovered from that season spending most of our time on the 4th tier. I would like GC to stay it is better the devil you know than the one you don't, who would you get to replace him, as far as Rovers are concerned since I have been supporting the club when we have brought old managers back it has NEVER worked out , ie Gerry Francis , John Ward.

Think it’s a bit unfair to blame Ollie for relegation in 2001, part of it yes but not completely. But you are spot on about having never really recovered from that relegation. Never since that season have we put in a play off challenge, promotion challenge or done anything other than mid table League 1 at best. And in 2001 istr that we finished with 3 home games should have been plenty to avoid the drop. But we are where we are and move on. I wouldn’t mind Ollie coming back but I hope GC stays. He’s earned the right to show what he can do. He speaks a lot of sense, knows our limitations and best of all he saved us from relegation with a plan that worked. I’ve seen enough battles at the foot of the league where we didn’t survive and went down. I can remember some fights in the early 2000s where we survived going out of League 2 but I’m struggling to remember a relegation fight in League 1 where we did survive. Perhaps someone else can. UTG!

GC has done the required job of keeping us in league one , for which I am grateful ( I still believe DC would of kept us up but that’s by the by ) If there was even the slightest possibility that Holloway could return back to where he belongs i would quite literally be over the moon. Nothing against GC but I genuinely believe he’s not the guy that will improve us , I think that’s the one and only Holloway!!! Nope for me! Ollys time here is done.Had 4/5 years of playing great football here during his time as manager here but failed to take us up to the next level even tho he spent loads of cash here ( for us that is ) and his team in 2001/02 was the start of our dark period as a L2 club before god gave us DC. Football has changed and his skills as a manager would not work like it did here before.If we were taken over by new owners that were willing to spend millions on transfers to get us out of L1 then holloway would work for sentimental reasons for a season to see if he could ,but thats it.

GC played for Plymouth for a few years. He lives in Sheffield and has spoke about Wednesday lots and had said they are his sons team. He also played for them. Think it's more Plymouth fans love him, not the other way around.

QPR put him on gardening leave when they discovered he was talking to Leicester City behind their back. He left Plymouth in the lurch when he joined, ironically, Leicester City and was relegated yet again. Plymouth are welcome to him. Maybe, maybe not. I don't believe we were in the relegation zone when Ollie left, I think we were 20th. So if you are playing technicalities, where he left us, we wouldn't have been relegated. If he had stayed on, the board had backed him and he got the players he wanted, we may have also stayed up. Instead we went with an inexperienced assistant, who never really had control of the team, who never improved the football or the point scoring run rate and we did go down. Dunford sold all of Ollies best players from underneath him, lets not forget we only for £250k for Cureton and £100k for Zamora, the team needed to be rebuilt and it needed a season to do it. We then went onto to get a part time Gerry Francis, followed by GT permanently again who then only lasted 4 months before being sacked. So the facts appear in play are that actually Garry Thompson got us relegated once and nearly relegated a second time from a lower division, he didn't do the job he was employed to do. QPR were in dire straits when Ollie took that job. A load of aging ex prem players who were unfit and disinterested. It was a poisoned chalice. Yes he got relegated with them, but he also rebuilt them and got them promoted.

Garner is currently Steve Coppell's assistant in India isn't he? Shame he had to move abroad to find a decent gig. Lots of top names on that list if it came to it - my preference would be Hurst in terms of experience grinding out good results with a poor L1 squad. One name that is missing, though, is Darrell Clarke...
