If you listen to it again I believe he said that in the build up to their talk on Monday he had advised DC not to make any rash decisions. I don't recall any explanation given as to why he had left on Monday and yet it was only announced on Thursday. Politeness and personal respect to a loyal servant departing the club? Honestly, why the f**k does it matter? I'm not making an issue out of it am I? Just correcting what was said. You sound like you are about to have a heart attack with every post you make  |

For me if Steve Cotterell apologies for the Rag Ass Rovers comment, then i don't think he would be the worst appointment.
If he can get the team motivated and playing then im sure all will be forgotten. Most important for BRFC is keeping us in league 1. Leave egos at the door and pull together.

I got the impression from the interview that Starnes suggested DC should go away and think about it for a few days. It was only announced to players and staff on Thursday, as well. No reason for another anti-board rant. It seems a perfectly reasonable sequence of events. If you listen to it again I believe he said that in the build up to their talk on Monday he had advised DC not to make any rash decisions. I don't recall any explanation given as to why he had left on Monday and yet it was only announced on Thursday. Which is why I said 'I got the impression...' It's an explanation that makes sense and is reasonable to all parties, instead of one that doesn't make sense and is unreasonable. To be honest, all this ranting at the board in ways that don't make sense is a bit tedious, especially when there are very ready and simple explanations that do make sense. You're doing that thing again where you just have a rant, it doesn't make sense, and then some one replies with a simple explanation that does make sense, and you demand evidence or proof why your explanation that doesn't make sense is wrong. It's just a simple explanation that seems reasonable and fits with what we know, rather than a convoluted explanation that doesn't make sense, doesn't fit with what we know, but that allows you to whine on the internet. |

Robbie Fowler enters the Royal Rumble ring! I'd rather he bought the club than was appointed manager. Then he could appoint himself manager. |

Just wish DC had taken a few days off to gather himself as he was obviously really down about our situation, could have recharged his batteries and come back with a plan for Jan window which i am sure would have led us to safety,seems the board may have made this offer to him,if so fair play to them,shame DC didn't take the opportunity.As for the next man Cotterill did well at cheltenham,Burnley? and certainly gave City one of there best ever seasons,and rag ass rovers was probably a generalization, not aimed directly at us,though if the cap fits!so no prob for me especially as the idea seems to water that lot off!Like the sound of the Newport chap too, and would have no prob with promoting from within ,some of whom would know if a few development squad players are ready to step up, all the afore mentioned would not be put off by are lack of facilities, whereas the ones on the managerial merry go round might not be to impressed!i just wish the board had ,had the foresight to give DC a hand by appointing a 'father figure'aka Lenny Lawrence to help get him through the rough patch, sure he was a great help to PT,who suffered when board decided he was no longer required,such a n appointment would have been more valuable than some of the recent job hand outs.Finally i speak in defence of Olly! the man is a legend as player and manager and deserves respect ,not the derision he gets from some on here, and no i dont want him to come back as manager as 'going back 'rarely works' and he would be on a hiding to nothing,not as an adviser either as knowing him he would get to involved, so Olly love you to bits , but enjoy your life on the side lines, and thanks for the memories!up the Roves!!

Please no- anyone except that professional Bristolian twat. He'd make us more of a laughing stock than we already are with his brain dead bollocks-talk. Sums our fans up !!! Oldgas- im from Bristol too and proud mate. He doesnt make me feel like a laughing stock. Your comments do though. He wouldnt come back because of people like you and our board. He has played a part in over 500 games and he makes you blush about being from bristol and chatting sh** to the press. I'm a proud Bristolian as well. As for him making himself a laughing stock with his inane comments, I suggest you read the postings of fans of other clubs to see how he is perceived, it's not just me saying this. As for his supposed legend status, he's walked out on us twice as a player and once as a manager. When you consider his badge-kissing antics and assertions of undying love and devotion to the club, you have to wonder who he thinks he is kidding. You obviously, but not me. |

Agree with a lot of your post, but I can’t get behind the idea of Cotterill as our manager. His time at Cheltenham was 16 years ago, Burnley 11 years ago, and at City he had one of the highest budgets (if not THE highest budget) in the league. I don’t think any of those jobs necessarily suggest he would do well here, personally. I also think he’s totally the wrong character for this club. He’s arrogant, abrasive, and would lose the fanbase as quickly as Buckle did if he went through a rough spell, IMO. The fact he was at City doesn’t bother me like it does some, but I just don’t think he fits our club as a person whatsoever. |

Who would be better with a Bristol Rovers sort of budget? We need someone who knows league 1 and has had some success in it. |

You could also say that someone who had intimate knowledge of good players coming through youth ranks at Championship and PL clubs would be a good fit and something to tap into. Holloway with his good friend Penrice who is one of the best scouts in England would be a good source. However its coaching those players into our team and getting them onside at our club which is the toughest bit. |

In my mind anyone who takes the job in the clubs current state is on a hiding to nothing. We don't need a ex sh*thead manager to make the ill feeling towards the club even worse even faster.

If players are brought in they have to be good enough to play. Holloway i imagine would be right sort of personality, the players need to be lifted and he i feel could do that. |

I think the betting market in this process is very suspect until the very last minute when odds suddenly collapse. Although Cottrell at this point is fav there's probably so little money invested the market can swing wildly.
I'd personally go for a quality appointment like Warburton. He's clearly an intelligent man and would deal with the board more effectively than DC was able to.
At the other end of the scale money has been put on Robbie Fowler!!! Now the Fourth favourite.

GT summed it up on Radio Bristol this morning, saying many out of work managers and maybe some in work will be willing to throw their hat in the ring in belief they can do better. The madness we see from our recent history / owners won’t put some good people off having a go. Whilst still watered off, I’m warming to the prospect of a new person in charge, with renewed passion that DC was in reality losing - I suspect by his own admission, which was why it was right for him to move on

Tony Craig player manager cheap options with Steve Morrison his player assistant that would suit the waels. I would love Morrison to be playing for us. He can head the ball without worrying about his hair |
