It could well now be our manager it he hadn't spat out his dummy when DC quit! I very much hope not. He never filled me with any confidence when our assistant manager. He certainly wasn't able to improve Luke James, Tom Nicholls or Stefan Payne. And you're talking over £500,000 of supposed striking talent there.

Yet another former player & coach is talking about distance. It makes me think he could well be being readied for Yeovil or possibly another NL club. I would not be surprised if the 82 offer him a position I doubt that. Didn't he spectacularly fall out with the midgets dad?

Timing seems strange - could understand it if Walsall were about to return to training. Would also seem strange for him to have another job lined up in current situation. Sadly would not be at all surprised to see him end up at 82ltd as a coach.

Interestingly, I was watching Darren Bent on Sky Sports the other day and he credited Marcus as having the biggest impact on his career. This is a player who scored over 100 goals in the Premier League and scored a few for England.

I can understand the commute.
1:15 mins turns into 2 hours in rush hour and that M5 is an absolute ball ache especially from J6 with all the road works. I wouldn’t want to do it everyday.
This lockdown has probably allowed for more reflection than usual, I know it has for me, and he’s probably enjoyed his time with his kids and will look for a job more locally even if it’s in the non league.

Maybe he just isn't enjoying his time there and has to think of some excuse, I know I left my last job because I didn't like the place but told the boss something differnt.

I did a combined commute of an average of three hours forty five a day for thirteen years, if I lived my time again I wouldn’t do it, time away from the kids, missing school plays and parents evenings and the inevitable divorce that follows. I did Bristol to Bournemouth for 6 months and that was a killer. Never would again.
I do Lawrence Weston - Avonmouth every single day!!!! Now that's a commute...

I do shirehampton to avonmouth 4 times a week! It can grind you down after a while.
Marcus was a fantastic player for us and a important element in our return from the non league wasteland to league one so i wish him all the very best whatever he does.

GGMI; you'll realise, of course, that you mean:
Every day.

I would have him back at Rovers in a coaching capacity, Top bloke, always good to have someone in the playing staff who gets the club and to be fair we had some good attackers developed under his guidance during his time at the club.

4 hours every day sharing a car with Darrel listening to what a great manager he is takes it toll (I expect) Are you taking the water with that comment? It went bad for DC right at the end of his time but there has been no more important manager in our clubs history and alittle respect is needed towards him even if you dont like him on a personal level.

I doubt that. Didn't he spectacularly fall out with the midgets dad? legend has it, it was something along the lines of "Conference Manager" I remember Marcus on TV telling the whole world that he fell out with Johnson senior over how he wanted him to play. I believe Marcus' parting shot was along the lines of "What did you ever achieve as a player"? Surprisingly he never played for the sh** again!
