Met Brian at an event in London Tonight and he had some very very uncomplimentary things to say about our club!
He started by saying that our board were worse people he has negotiated a deal with selling and trying to sign a player! he called Watola arrogant and useless and also said Dunford was an utter tosser when they played us at the Mem a few years ago!
Also said he still talks with MM a bit and he told Laws that DC is one of the best managers/coaches he has worked with in his career! and looks like when Turley is deal is done MM will move into Coaching Staff!
And he once applied for a job with and didnt even get an email back saying he was unsuccessful and that a few managers in lower leagues think our board are up their own asses!
but he would still love to manage us one day!
So all in all he was a sound guy and wants to get back into management and wouldnt mind dropping down to conference for team like us!

I don't understand references to MM. Is this our old manager Mark McGhee? When did he work with DC? What does it mean that he'd join coaching staff after Turley deal done. Confused much?

I also met Brian Laws about 9-10 years ago when Scunny were playing us at the Mem on a friday night.
The scunny squad had stopped at a nearby hotel for their prematch meal and I remember him being very approachable and a very nice guy who had time for any fan of football.
I gave him my copy of the Evil Post as at the time Agogo was on bail for the alledged rape that did not take place, he was concerned if Agogo was gonna be starting as in the post it stated he was.
He told me that the one player he feared was Agogo' did not matter though as we lost 0-3 and Scunny gained promotion that season.
I personally love Brian Laws at the Rovers, I have always liked him and his teams.

If it was a one off then maybe, but he isnt the first to say such things Simon, I suspect we are one of many clubs that have an awkward BoD's with regards to the buying & selling of players. They are clearly not saints, but look at some of the unsavoury characters in boardrooms over the last few years. |

That puts our BoD in a far better light that most of us thought then!!
DC makes MM captin so he thinks he's great, what's the betting TP has a slightly different view of DC??

You are misrepresenting my remark, I was alluding to other football clubs. |
