Whoever the new manager is lets get behind him.
The reality is that everyone had a different person as their first choice however we can only fill that position with one person and not multiple people.
The thing that I can see happening is that a number of fans will be waiting with the “I told you so” if they don’t get their wish and the new man starts off badly.
It’s looks like the person who was my first choice was never a serious candidate but whoever gets the job will have my full support because everyone should be pulling in one direction instead of more than likely quietly hoping that the person struggles.
The truth of the matter is that we really will never know if whoever is appointed was the actual first choice. For all we know the club may have had a list of 3 people and both of them said “sorry we aren’t interested” abit like when it sounds like we went for Nathan Jones but he said no so we then had to look at the next person on the list and for all we know BG may have not been in the top 3, or maybe the person who does get appointed was number 1.. The only people will know that is Waq, MS, TW and TG.
What I don’t like is that fans will say that its the cheap option or why didn’t we go for say Paul Cook or Mike Flynn but for all we know they may have been asked and as I said earlier wasn’t interested. We are Bristol Rovers supporters so they are the most important football club to us but for every manager out there we are just another football club and just because we would love to manage the club it doesn’t mean that others do.
I’m not here to give the moral high ground because I used to be like that when I was younger but as you get older you kinda think through Scenarios with a more balanced outlook instead of just saying things in the spur of the moment.
I think we can all remember when Ray Graydon was named manager, everyone was buzzing after what he had achieved at Walsall however we all know how that turned out. Yet I remember a number if fans being against DC and PT getting the jobs after caretaker roles and they did very well for us.
Actually thinking about it, its probably better that the new man whoever he is will more than likely not be everyone’s favourite as its usually the ones who people say “he’s not my first choice but I will support him” who actually does well 🤣🤣
C’mon Guys, lets get behind the new guy once he’s announced and lets give him and the boys some encouragement instead of being negative about it. The time to be negative will be if after a decent amount of time we are struggling or seeing no progress instead of even before that person gets through the door.

Exactly and especially with all going on in the world we dont really need to be any more divided. I really think the club is on the right path from the top, have faith gasheads! Give the new man a fair crack at the whip and support them in doing so. UTG

Spot on, I couldn't have put it better. We're all fans of BRFC, so we should get behind the club whatever, in my opinion. |

Well said oasis, sums it up.
Players come and go, managers come and go but fans are always there supporting the club. Whoever is appointed gets my support even if he may not have been first choice. After all we’re BRFC not Man U so we go fishing for managers in a smaller pool.
UTG!

Of course once the new man or woman is here we should all be behind the club.
As the the new age dawns of new training grounds and however vague a possibility, new stadiums. Wael will reach out to someone who’s achieved something beyond fourth division promotion.
I’ve seen enough of average lower league managers to last me lifetime thanks

BRFC “Dare to Dream”
It’s funny when you look at how much money we’ve poured down the drain in dazed and confused employees over the years that we’ve never really splashed out in a decent manager..
Think it probably says it all that in the last 50 years only Gould, Francis and Holloway went on to achieve anything at a higher level.

Agree with the poster, give whoever a chance for goodness sake!, sad thing is that the 'Tisdale out' thread is getting more hits than this positive one!

Seeing as you know exactly what the club needs, and that money will definitely bring in 100% a manager that will take us higher, who is your selection may I ask? And are we saying dc wasn’t a success, coughlan wasn’t a success? |

And are we saying dc wasn’t a success, coughlan wasn’t a success? I think it’s significant that the only managers, Megson and Francis, to achieve anything beyond the Third Division were men who had tasted a good deal of success in their earlier lives at the top level. Megson captained Sheff Wed and Francis captained England. Holloway could have joined them if someone hadn’t loosened the wheel nuts behind the scenes. I think DC seemed to reach his level and GC I guess we’ll never know |

Graydon was a coup in my opinion as his recent success should have put him in demand. Atkins had something of a name for himself. McGhee’s signing was fêted as some sort of master stroke by supporters but I’m not sure it was that good on paper as he was on the wind down and it showed in his abject performance, bordering on negligence. Was Buckle a coup? Other than that in my 25 years following the club we have gone for inexperienced appointments from within for the most part, Thompson, Bater, Trollope, Holloway, DC, Coughlan, maybe there is some correlation between that and our bang averageness. We’ve rarely if ever dared to dream in terms of managers. |

I guess it depends what the salary of such a manager is? As Jeff Hughes would tell you we pay good wages so I’m confident we’ve paid players more than what a reasonably decent name manager at our level would be asking. I think it’s just not an area we like to put significant resources into |

If there are people on here who crave success that much then there are many teams out there that woukd be a better fit. I love Rovers, my son's love Rovers. They get it ain't perfect but support the entire club ~ whatever decisions are made are always for the betterment of the club. Don't always work but that's life.
