Posts on the Ispwich match thread suggest he wants backing in January, problem is can we survive in the Championship at the Mem when we're already losing £m's in League 1. Typical Rovers we can't even enjoy a famous win for 1 night! Yeovil & Burton survived perfectly OK when they were in the Championship. Presuming this is sarcasm?

Presuming this is sarcasm? No? Apologies if I'm just slow on the uptake but if you are indeed serious then I suggest you look up how long Yeovil lasted in the Championship. Burton survived one season, then were relegated the next. Very admirable and a great achievement but I'd suggest that's an exception to the rule for smaller clubs getting to the Championship. Brentford can't really be used as a comparison because they have owners prepared to invest.

I’m sorry, but the Al Qadi’s gave DC the best budget this club’s ever had, and he wasted the best part of £1m on the likes of Bennett, Payne, Mensah, Burn, and Nichols. Unfortunately, it looks like there’s no money left, what are people expecting, Hani and co to magic up another couple of million when they’re trying to cut their losses and sell? I’m sure Wael would love to give GC some more money, but we are literally at our limit, and I hate to say it as I love the bloke but a lot of that is down to DC banging the “i need more money” drum every post-match interview then wasting the majority of it. Unfortunately it’s caught up with us. The same Nichols who played a part in both goals today? Best budget, considering inflation? Considering the money raised due to sells?

Anyone can survive in the Championship financially, providing they can simply accept automatic relegation.

Ive just watched his post match interview.For me he is 100% gone, you can tell by his body language. And by his words its to do with the owners and them proberly not giving him any money and selling JCH.

Sorry but I am seriously fed up now of what is going on off the pitch and the lack of direction from the club. We find ourselves in an unbelievable position, this should be a great day for Bristol Rovers, we are 4th in League 1 with an actual chance to do something but we have owners who shy away from everything to do with club. Our manager is talking about considering his future. In January, we could now be losing arguably our best player in JCH, but also our Manager. Where the f is the aspiration and ambition from this lot. They are not Rovers fans, couple years ago it was seeling the snake to our rivals for absolute pittance and now this. When are we going to be communicated with regarding the status of the FM. Once a season is really not acceptable, I expect more from the owner of our club. What is going on with the Colony, we still have a bunch of well paid professionals training in a field where they have to pick up dog sh**. The Al Qadis have been getting away with it for too long now in my opinion, I want them to do the right thing and sell up if they aren't going to progress the football club. Mid table league 1 budget, improved facilities, league 1 football. I can’t see that they’re that much different than many owners before them. It’s easy to spend it hypothetically when your spending someone else’s money. Communication lacking absolutely I agree with that. And of course we’ll sell JCH and probably try and replace him in January with either loans or another pretty much free signing like JCH was. When was it last any different though ?

The guy looked heartbroken and dis- interested in being interviewed.It seemed like he has made his decision but cant say right now. I think we can rule out the fact that it was due to a lack of support from the fans after saying thanks about the travelling army today. He said he doesnt know how far he can take this FC that only points to him being told to f**k off by Wael and co in regards to buying players and selling JCH.

Typical Rovers we can't even enjoy a famous win for 1 night! Yeovil & Burton survived perfectly OK when they were in the Championship. Did they? Yeovil now non league having never recovered from their one year. Burton lasted two (?) and are surviving. But I wouldn’t say either “survived perfectly,” they struggled and being losing teams never attracted the crowds. But I agree with the point I think you’re making, that it doesn’t matter what condition the club is in we should always try and get promotion and play as high as possible. Apologies if that wasn’t your point. UTG! edit: just seen the other replies about those two surviving ok. Of course they didn’t.

That Joe the Banana bloke seems to know what he’s talking about. Perhaps he’s the man to take us forward?

When was it last any different though ?The point is it shouldn't be this way. We are treated like mugs. Or treated like the third tier club supporters that we are. Have Rovers supporters always been treated like mugs ? Our current grounds bigger and got better facilities than it has ever had, We’re league 1 punching above our weight and our manager has been an absolute legend in getting us safe last year and in a great position to push for promotion this season. Maybe this thing tonight is about wanting the budget increased maybe it’s about something else. If it is about the budget and the board won’t give it to him and he leaves then he’ll join the list of other managers that have done well and gone on to bigger and possibly better things. It’s easy to spend the clubs money in a forum when the money’s not yours. Maybe if all the gas that “ haven’t taken “ to Coughlan and “can’t face going at the moment “ had turned up and supported the club over the last few months as we’ve risen to 4th in the league then the money would be there to offer a better deal or sign a player that could help us push on.

Burton and Yeovil are Tiny clubs compared to us (fanbase wise) and the fanbase is what makes a club really and its size. We could go up this year and survive for a while.But to substane it than you need a owner like pantsdown and a stadium like the new Ashton Gate.

And by his words its to do with the owners and them proberly not giving him any money and selling JCH. I've just watched it and am convinced he is off. He was very emotional and it would appear to me the man is very very ambitious, but I fear something has happened at the club that shows him they are not as ambitious as him. That can only mean one thing in my mind the January transfer window and the situation with JCH. If that proves to be the case I wish GC all the very best for the future and thank him for all he has done at the club. As far as our owners are concerned, my comments will follow if indeed GC is off. I will throw this into the ring, I wonder if all the vitriol towards Mr Hamer was well founded or is there a link here and perhaps SH was not the guilty party but just another victim like it would appear GC has become?
