Yes. His decision making was bizarre come the end and he never really cared about the job. Knew his mate Strachan would sort him out. Ok 🙄😂 |

More importantly, how have so many people got a direct line to Karl Robinson?! Can we ask him anything? Does he like curry sauce or gravy on his chips? Neighbours or Home and Away? Some managers and footballers don't like to reply to supporters and you probably understand as most of it is probably abuse and stuff but if you are polite then some will respond to you and you can have a decent conversation as long as you both set boundaries on what is asked and what answers you give I guess. |

I would love to know Neil Harris' reasons for turning the job down. Location I would imagine. He's from Essex and he's pretty much always been in the South East other than managing Cardiff but that was also the highest division he's managed in so might have thought it was worth it. |

DC could have but chose to stay with us. Just another reason to love the man. UTG! Remember that , when Leeds came in for him I was convinced he’d go…… but they were a basket case at the time. They still are. Not a role for those who want job security. So many managers. So many sackings. So much compensation.... |

Exactly. Not out Monkeys, not our Circus. That’s a Polish saying. Not heard anyone else use it You don't mind if I borrow it? Seems very apt under the circumstances. |

Who was manager of Exeter when they went 4-0 up on us in 24 mins? Saw lots of Rovers fans leaving at half time at that game. 22mins & at 3-0 for me My mates said they’d hang on because you never know. Exeter got the 4th just as I was let out by the steward a minute later😄 I stayed to the end. The half time queue for a drink was only two people! |

I think we have a stand out candidate. He seems to tick all the boxes of what the owners are looking for. He is availiable. Seeing the latest odd changes and article about us holding talks with him. Added to the fact his south West connections previously with Exeter and working with Jevani Brown and playing alongside Friend. He did a great job at Exeter and they were plaiting good football. Good at bringing young players through apparently? He led Rotherham to their highest placed finish in 18 years last season. Welcome to Bristol Rovers, Matt Taylor. You are the stand out candidate. I think our paths have crossed just at the right time! Getting ready to boom this bad boy! And the one where gasdust has done his £20. |

Was just thinking to myself. When was the last time a Rovers manager left to move on to bigger things. Must be many years since we've had a manager leave to move onto a bigger job. Answers on a postcard to. BBC, childhood memories, London, W12 8QT In terms of leaving on good terms and being 'Poached' then it's Gerry Francis.
A few have gone on to get bigger jobs after we got rid of them, John Ward went onto C*ty where he got them promoted straight away. Holloway went onto manage QPR, Leicester and Palace.
Even Ben Garner somehow ended up at Charlton.

Is today the day?
Have the team travelled north? Who's on the bus? Perhaps someone in football knows?
What has Karl Robinson had for breakfast?

I did £20 on Mangs, lucky that was the limit Gav 😂👍 #HijackOver |

It’s likely to be off Percy, we will know by 2pm today, very unlikely it’s on which is bummer as I was looking forward to it. [ 💯 true, not making it up Baggins. Let’s hope it thaws out up in Crewe |

Spot on brother, we’ve been told it will be announced as off, club asked the FA to know by 2pm as we need to travel up, training cancelled up north as well. |
