that useless rag has, over the years, done its level best to sell or move on every decent asset we've had. I'm talking about the way they always single out a promising improving player and inform us all, with tremendous gravity, that they'll be snapped up in no time and there'll be nothing anyone can do about it. They've done it with every player who's been good, and not when there's obvious interest but way before that stage, almost as if they're trying to tout the individual concerned.
theres an article in today's edition in which they opine regarding whether Stewie will go to Yeovile. The writer seems to be in two minds about this, too good a chance to miss, etc etc etc, to he should stay at Rovers to step into DC's shoes when he's eventually lured away. They've even put a time frame on this in the region of the next year or so.
I wish they would just f@ck off and stop trying to destabilise us. If they want to speculate on Bristol football why don't they start touting that Kodgia (or however it's spelt)bloke over the river at Trashton?

And the influence of that "useless rag" is what exactly?
What are you afraid that they can do?

Looks like he is the favourite whether we like it or not and at 43 he will need to make a move soon if he wants to get into management. He has played for them and is fondly remembered there so I wouldn't be surprised if he goes for it. I don't know how much of an impact it would have on us if he went, but I think we would cope.

I certainly do not like the sound of this, he has been quietly doing a rather good job at our Club. Would be very sad to see him go. Difficult to assess how important he is to DC's overall strategy, but this is not a change I favour.... hopefully the Glovers will find another candidate?

Surprised Ollie has not been mentioned or if they wait two weeks Lee Johnson! |

Didn't Yeovil sign a manager this afternoon? Don't think so? Darren Way is interim manager. |

Oh, I just saw something on the news this afternoon, it was in the background of what I was actually doing so wasn't paying a great deal of attention, thought it was the new manager being named but obviously not then lol

Topper, I don't know if you are aware of this but my blog only appears on line, not in the paper, and I was only giving an opinion on what I had read on the Post website. It is hardly a surprise if a well-known bookie that actually sponsors the football league installs one of our people at 5/4 favourite and the local newspaper decides to do a story on it. I'm not sure where Old Gas is coming from. Does he want the usual to happen: Rovers keep us in the dark and feed us with bullshit only for us to find out Marcus has left via the Yeovil website? Sorry, it's easy to shoot the messenger but to my mind the Post was only doing their job. If a paper in, say Birmingham, suggested a Bristol City player was being tracked by Villa would the Post report it? Of course they would! Maybe we should just wait for the official website to tell us what is going on in future. They've always done such a good job in the past. |

I see no problem with the artical myself it's what newspapers/ rags do I thought. As for Stewart's input on the Rovers front I have no idea but if he did go to Yeovil then Steve Yates would step up. And knowing the job he has done since returning to Rovers,losing Stewart will not be such a bad thing.
I sense Yates is more of an asset to DC than Stewart but this is only speculation!

Perhaps the way I wrote my thread was misleading. I don't have a problem with the potential of Stewart going to Yeovile, that is an ongoing live situation where his name has been mentioned from a number of sources. What I object to is how the article goes on to speculate how much longer DC will be with us, how he's bound to move on to bigger and better sooner rather than later.
I wonder if the Accrington Gazette or whatever it's called constantly rattles on about their manager, and how he's bound to be off any minute,or the local paper of any other lower league side that's doing OK is constantly hawking the manager/better players with a blizzard of speculation. I remember how The Post was almost beside itself in its efforts to sell Caryol on our behalf. At the time I likened their behaviour to "Tapping", and a fair few seemed to agree with me.

Whether the 'bias' is in our heads or in their reporting, there's a bias there somewhere... |

The fact that both Chris Spittles and James McNamara have published articles about Stewart and Yeovil makes me think that there is some substance to it.

Do the bookies lead the reporters or do the reporters lead the bookies......in fairness, I don't care, Marcus would gain nothing by moving there now, if he wants it he'd offer them the chance to sign him in the summer (whatever league they are in...) |

In this case the reporters leading the bookes I think. Where does the man in question (and indeed the fans) stand? The only reason I can see him going there is that he's bored/unhappy here, hence why I really hope it's reporters leading bookies....it would be bad for him, if he saves them it's mostly luck rather than skill...*if* they want him now, he could still say he'd move there in the summer...(again whatever league they are in...) and he could decide based on whatever league we are in as well...! |
