Accusing me of stalking people, yet you've gone through my posts? I stand by shout that Luke Garrard wasn't a bad shout, had Boreham Wood consistently finishing above/going toe to toe with Ex-Football League clubs in the playoffs with 5x their crowds/budgets and masterminded a number of impressive FA Cup wins over teams including ourselves where it was quite clear his preparation and tactical nous was first class. Why would he not be a candidate you'd have gone for seeing as you heavily promote the non-league game? I'd say his CV is better than Rob Elliot's who you've suggested should be our next manager? I've made my views clear in the Higgs thread, I don't think we need to bring it into this one. You've clearly got a massive mental issue that you can't give the club one bit of credit, maybe you need to start putting in the wishlist thread exactly what the maximum we can spend on a player YOU RECOMMEND just so this can't happen again. He got them relegated. National League South club and manager now. 😆 I'll leave you to your Higgsy thread. Have fun. 🤡 Which is probably still one level above their natural level for the crowds they get; they thought that much of him they reappointed him? Teams punching so far above their weight can only last so long see Curbishley at Charlton, Gary Johnson at Yeovil, Coleman at Accrington; I think he had enough credit in the bank from 5 or 6 seasons of over-achieving to deserve a chance at a bigger club, hence throwing his name out their as a left-field choice. |

This tit for tat is keeping me entertained until kickoff.
I thought we were all on the same side.... Bristol Rovers fans, no?

Certainly similarities. Both play awful football with no real identity and both manage to scrape wins at crucial times to save their jobs and prolong the agony.

Must be bloody depressing to be as miserable as you 😂 UTG Maybe but to be fair those observations are about right unfortunately. Still, better to just enjoy the second win of the week for at least 24-48 hours 😁 |

Is Matt Taylor our Ten Hagg?
Really looking forward to winning the FA CUP at Wembley later this season.

Or maybe we're a midtable team that will win some and lose some. I think you should stick to w**king off to Japanese 3rd division games on a dodgy firestick and leave supporting Rovers to others. |

Harsh ….. but fair ! 😂 Old Pirate doesn’t like any criticism so I better be careful 🙄😮 |

Is that what you do with your signed Nick Higgs photos? 😆 |

Well Taylor has out-survived Ten Haag. Be interesting to see which way Utd turn next, seems similar to us in that they've tried a wide variety of different 'demographic' of manager since Fergie left and the common denominator being they've all failed.

Be interesting to see which way Utd turn next, seems similar to us in that they've tried a wide variety of different 'demographic' of manager since Fergie left and the common denominator being they've all failed. Our Fergie being Darrell Clarke? Gerry Francis? Bert Tann? Not sure we’ve ever had one. On a point of where they started and where they left off, who of our 35 managers in the last 50 years hasn’t failed? Clarke definitely, Francis definitely, Megson definitely, Trollope definitely, Barton at a pinch - maybe marginally above when he took over but left us in a right mess, Coughlan yes but small reign and left us in the lurch. There may be more, but they’re not obvious. |

I’d love that failure! (But I know what you meant! 😉) More a sign of ridiculous entitlement on behalf of many PL clubs. UTG! |

I’d love that failure! (But I know what you meant! 😉) More a sign of ridiculous entitlement on behalf of many PL clubs. UTG! Ten Hag can have no complaints with Utd currently 14th and last season producing the worst Manchester United finish in Premier League history, all after spending £600m+ in the process. Ten Hag’s side conceded 165 goals in his time in charge, with their average of 1.29 per game topping even the figure in a lost half-season under Rangnick (37 in 29 games, 1.28 per game). They have conceded four or more in a game seven times under Ten Hag, losing 6-3 and 7-0 to Manchester City and Liverpool respectively in his first season, while in his second they let in three or more goals on more occasions (15) than they kept clean sheets (13). United finished 23-24 with their first negative goal difference of the Premier League era after conceding 58, another unwanted club record, and scoring only 57. They are at -3 this season, scoring eight and conceding 11. That is also United’s lowest goalscoring tally after nine games of a Premier League season. Only Crystal Palace and bottom club Southampton, with six each, have scored fewer this season. |

Pirate, not sure all recruitment is down to ETH. And as said, won a trophy in each of his seasons.
And let’s face it, all these comparisons with Fergie are a tad silly. If Fergie had been managing in the PL at the start of his time he never would have won anything. He’d have been sacked after failing to do what he was brought in to do. It was only the cup match v Forest and winning the FA Cup that saved him. Great manager but different times.
UTG!

Radio 5 earlier claimed most of the recruitment was down to ETH, even suggesting Antony for £85m was his choice after OGS turned him down when he was manager for just £30m!!! The useless Dutch striker signed for £30m this summer was almost certainly down to ETH. |

UTG! 10 signings (11 if you include Mount's loan) are players that have played in the Eredivisie - I think he's had a big say in recruitment. He pushed to spend out close to £90m on the likes of useless Antony for example, his former player at Ajax. |

I presume you mean Zirkzee, who’s barely had a chance yet. And I thought Ineos and Jim Ratcliffe was supposed to sort the mess out and help the team. It got worse and he stays. Glad to see that so far no one’s disagreed about him winning two cups, something most of us Rovers fans could only dream of! And of course in the end who really cares, it’s Man U. UTG! |

Cups are fairly meaningless in the top fight it's all about finishing in the top 4, Rovers, and even City, really have no relevance to what goes on in the Premiership as it's almost like a different sport. |
