On the old forum I was never the biggest fan of Paul Trollope and at the time I got slaughtered for my comments and insistence on his total lack of man management
Some of the things I said in that period included
• he had fallen out with Sammy Igoe and Richard Walker
• had stopped Walker from training with the first team
• had not given him the opportunity to say good bye to the fans
All now proven to be true
I also stated he was a good coach but a useless manager after leaving Rovers he would never make it as a manager and our decline into L2 and beyond started with PT. His stats as a stand-alone manager were shocking. His recruitment pathetic and his tactics shocking. How he wasn’t sacked after a drubbing at Orient I will never know.
Who can remember the marquee signings of Dominic Blizzard and Jeff Hughes. The useless barn door hitting Andy Williams
Having read the Richard Walker article it reminded me of how sh** a manager PT was Stapletongas - maybe I knew more than you after all at the time. Wasn’t the first and doubt it will be last.
Walker deserved a decent send off - PT showed him no respect
And I did put my money where my mouth is and backed us at 10/1 to get relegated

Such a strange post.
Andy William's proved to be a good league one striker.
He speaks fondly of Trolls despite an argument.
Igoe appears to be the one not speaking to any of the others? Does that Rickie Lambert a bad striker?
Jeff Hughes was a good player for us.
Blizzard- fairpoint.

There's nothing noble in being superior ta your fellow supporters pal.
True nobility is being superior ta your former self.

Put first team player out to train with youth team.
It has been going on for years at all clubs and with many different players. Managers like to call it "Managing a player out of the club." To be fair to Trolls I expect Lennie taught Trolls how this was done if he hadn't already experienced himself during his years as player.

Don't think we should disrespect Trolls on here, gave us one of best seasons ever, had a similar record to DC in league 1, started to go wrong when club dispensed with Lenny, perhaps Trolls needed him to bounce off though they had very different methods according to Richard Walkers story. When you get promoted managers have to decide if squad is good enough to adjust to higher level and Lenny,/Trolls obviously decided not ,hence Richards exit , i for one thought the Walker/Lambo partnership should have been given a fair chance to crack it at the higher level and Richard deserved better than what he got but that's man management for you, a very difficult skill to learn no matter how good a coach you may be, any way its all about opinions and i will remember Trolls with gratitude and wish him well .

Rich is long enough in the tooth to know that although it was harsh it’s football, it’s a cut throat business.
He holds no ill feeling towards trolls about it so not sure why anyone else would

Marquee signings of Dominic Blizzard and Jeff Hughes and the useless barn door hitting Andy Williams?
They were all signed by LL.
You can add Carl Regan (worst full back I've ever seen 'play' for Rovers) and Mark Wright to the LL list of dross signings.
I'm not surprised PT failed as Rovers manager - LL had already spent the budget on decidedly bang average (and worse) players on long contracts.
It's no surprise that the promotion winning team were mainly IA signings.
Now he could spot a player, who could not only play but could also play 40 games a season.
His ability has since been proven by his jobs working on player recruitment for Sunderland, Everton and now Aston Villa.
I've never understood the LL love in.

Don’t recall too much praise in your most recent posts as well but happy to be put straight if I am wrong. |
