OK GGMI we get it. You want BG out. Your endless threads are tedious. Out of interest, did you want DC and GC out too? And why are you referring to our manager as a thing? Very disrespectful. I didn't want DC or GC out. It's a play on words with the thread title because of the song.

I've gone for undecided. Problem for me is that I secretly agree with what everybody's saying... For & Against 🤷♂️

No. Enough is enough. I’ve lost money on refunding the fans on the promotion bus. All I’ve got is an empty bank account, a battered bus and a shattered dream of being ground breaking. The sooner he goes the better.

Make some money and rebrand it the disciple bus. Tambourine on every seat and paint over the outside with the musings of the svengali.

Because DC had achieved so much with us before that and I believed in him. Even his last game with the 4-0 defeat at home to Doncaster was better than nearly every performance I have witnessed under Garner. DC had 4 promotions in his name at that point too. I believed in DC. I don't believe in BG. That is a big difference for me. And if you asked many rovers fans I believe they would say the same.

The thing we want as fans is to feel that the manager has watched the same game as we have. That he sees what’s wrong, accepts responsibility, makes no excuses and works to change things that aren’t working. We got all of that with DC and we’re getting none of that with Garner.

Right now I would not fancy our chances if we played against the Gas Girl's.

We had some really woeful performances under DC, but it seems he got away with it because he came out after the match and told us that he loved the fans, that we are going to dust ourselves down and go again blah blah... . GGMI - you and others are saying that BG has had enough time to get the team playing his way...well guess what..DC was in his 5th season - on your logic surely enough time to get the team playing his way? Yet you would have kept him despite the dire football on offer.

Made me chuckle. You need to understand that we plebs know nothing about the game. Whereas he has got every diploma under the sun. Child care, tick. Sports science, tick. Pro licence, tick. Neuro linguistics, tick. Tactical periodisation methodology, tick. 4-4-2 is for the peasants not for the thinking intelligentsia. Where any pass over 20 yards is a crime, and gawd help any player that dare play it over 10 foot in the air. Our snob of a manager is trying to play premiership football with 3rd division players. If it walks and talks like a duck, chances are it’s a duck! Or in this case a dud.

In DC’S first 8 games he got us relegated, then when he was taking us back down too league 2 he jumped ship by getting himself deliberately sacked. Until you move on from your beloved DC no manager will be good enough for you.. Hes gone he ain’t coming back so go and support the saddlers and leave BG alone with this vendetta you have against him. Now go dig up some of my past posts 😂

Yet you would have kept him despite the dire football on offer. I believed in him because of what he had achieved with us. When he took charge of us we were near the bottom of L2, he left us in the league above. It is not quite as simplistic as that though is it. I believe DC's relationship with the board (understandably frustrated at times) and some poor signings towards the end contributed to his downfall. He had proven before that though that he is a good manager. BG hasn't come close to proving he is even a competent one.

Yet you would have kept him despite the dire football on offer. DC had proven himself as a capable manager by that point. He had won us two promotions and got us back to our highest position in many seasons, with two solid finishes in L1 despite what some boo boys would say. In mine, many supporters and I’m sure GGMIs eyes he had done enough with us to earn him that chance. Was it short sighted? Perhaps, because it was right for DC to move on - our performances once GC came in proved why that was the case. But many of us didn’t want that to end because of the emotional relationship he had built with the support base. I stand behind the dug out and I can remember the way DC was stood after the Doncaster game and I could see in his body language he knew it was time and that has stood with me. Difference being he had the respect for the club and himself to acknowledge it and act on it. BG has done nothing to buy this respect with supporters. He has no history of managing other clubs let alone success. I’ll tell you what actually doesn’t count, managing under 23 squads from the prem. He has since done nothing in his time with us other than preside over the worst win ratio of any manager in Bristol Rovers’ history, if not the whole of the football league. What is it that makes you think we should give him respect? His white t-shirt (lack of respect for us that he can’t even be bother to wear our kit)? his baseball caps (wannabe Tony Pulis)? his beard? His win ratio? The fact we’re going to come good? (We’re not) His waffle on the radio? His qualifications?

I think the comparison is interesting. DC took us into the conference where we got off to a pretty woeful start (which didn't change much until we signed Chris Lines). DC communicated well with fans and therefore he got away with some pretty awful management (and by the way, communicating with fans is important, and I too appreciated DC's skills in this area). Its relevant to bring DC up in this context as he was given time to get things right and for a couple of season did OK and is now treated as some kind of demi-god by some fans. BG has a different management style, different personality but, like DC, should be given the time to get things right.

i believe , i have a dream! look ,we are at the start of a very exciting project for our club, it will take a few games to sort out and get the right pegs in the right holes but when all the pieces are in place we will go on a fantastic run to the top 6 ,where we finish who knows but keep the faith Gas eds and you will get your rewards!!(no ,i aint been on the sauce and gave up smoking anything way back when!).Recent player interviews just serve to re-enforce my belief.
