“Bristol Rovers Football Club can confirm that Tommy Widdrington is leaving his role with the club. Tommy joined back in 2018 and has undertaken a number of roles during that time, including taking charge of the first team as a caretaker on two occasions. We would like to thank Tommy for all of his efforts and wish him all of the best in the future“ www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/2021/december/3.12.21-tommy-widdrington-statement/

Strange timing to make the announcement, given that Barton could also be departing soon!
We could play DC's Port Vale next week w/o a DoF and a manager.

Was a matter of time really since the changes of the summer. His role was pretty irrelevant and his presence at the club obviously creating friction with Barton. Good luck to him wherever he ends up.
Let’s hope the scouting department and the first team management set up is now under one roof and we can start moving forwards as a football club on the same page once again.

Never a dull moment being a Gashead. It's like musical chairs.
Not sure if I will miss him but good luck to him

I'm surprised it took as long as it did.

Need a suitable replacement as chief scout ASAP acting in the clubs best interests. i.e. not one of Barton's mates or minders.

Fair play. Tom Gorringe is hitting the ground running! I think he is implementing the findings of the Colonel's root and branch review of the club - with Tom's appointment as CEO being stage one. I don't think Joey's going anywhere, unless he gets banged up.
