Francis was rubbish to start with and the club was heading swiftly towards the relegation zone. Until the Sunderland game changed everything which lead to a run of results leaving rovers in 8th. Before that game you could have thought GF was not cut out to manage as he had already relegated Exeter the year before. 20th feb 1988 rovers sat in 20th spot out of the relegation zone on goal difference. W1 D2 L6 being the last 9 results in league and cup. Next game the league leaders. The manager had already relegated his previous club. Do we give the manager more games or sack him now and hope for the new manager boost ? Current logic would say sack him. Good job we didnt ! Was that before or after he spent £10k of his own money on Holloway? Before.

I know this because Ollie was in the team for my first ever Gas game that October. That season we went on a great run and finished 8th, as playtowin said. The season after was the play offs and then in 89/90 we all know the story! Great times.

So for this to be a fair comparison and taking into consideration inflation. I reckon JB owes us a £500k player out of his own money. 😉
