[Archived] Gary Bowyer

[Tom]

Not exactly spoilt for choice but he's possibly picked the weakest left hand side possible tonight

Looks like he will need to keep up his good home record or we go down

Out his depth

[chaddyrovers]

Rovers fans singing Gary Blue and White army now.

[DE.]

The big man proves the doubters wrong

[T4E]

We looked dead and buried and he's taken this sorry rabble of useless @#/? to 3 wins out of the last 4.

How can he not get the job full time? Without him we'd be in League One next year.

[chaddyrovers]

Well done Gary Bowyer tonight.

good subs tonight and change tactics slightly to go more attacking and keep the ball

Gary Bowyer has won 3 gamaes out of last 4

keep the faith

[Tom]

Sounds like he made a couple of good subs

My issue with him as full time manager is he is still learning and making mistakes, can we afford to take the risk on him? Is there a better alternative who would work with Shebby and the owners?

If we stay up then there should be no rush to make a decision but I imagine its all signed and sealed anyway

[rovers11]

We owe this guy one. An absolute hero. Venkys owe him a huge thanks and a hefty bonus. He's got them out of serious bother and saved them a lot of money. Also saved this club from the embarrassment of dropping into lge 1.

[DE.]

Let's not forget the results he got us earlier in the season too, when things were going right into the shitter.

[Tom]

I'd have him get a huge cash bonus and whatever position he deems suitable with the possible exception of the main one if we can bring in an ideal candidate

It goes back to what I said previously though, is there an alternative?

[pick32]

Kean the managers job give him the key to the town, anyone no his win %.

[DE.]

IMO Tom, if the current structure of the club remains the same, Bowyer is the best hope we have. It's quite pathetic in a lot of ways that our Reserve Team manager is the best we can realistically aim for, but that's what we're reduced to under Venky's.

Should they leave then hopefully other candidates will become more realistic possibilities.

[chaddyrovers]

Tom, all depends on what Mrs D and Balaji decided to do.

I think Gary Bowyer will get the job permanent in the summer. just hope he gets to do it his way tho

[rovers11]

Just enjoying tonight but if it wasn't for Bowyer we'd have gone down this season. 3 wins out of 4 in his second spell is nothing short of miraculous. I had us a dead certs to go down.

I'm not convinced he knows what 'his way' would be, considering he's not an actual football manager.

We'd be in danger of appointing another trainee manager, after the disasters of Kean et al.

But that's a conversation for another day, let's congratulate him on guiding us to 3 wins in 4 matches.

[Ben-2000]

IMO not the answer long term. Done well as caretaker but there is a need to finally start from scratch with someone experienced from the start of the closed season.

like who tho???

[Guest Norbert]

Ideally, I'd like to keep him on as our next Tony Parkes type. Maybe we'll have a good manager for more than 3 weeks next summer. Sometimes miracles do happen.

Bowyer is Kean mistake Mk2. Kean had a similar record initially

wide berth

[DE.]

No, he didn't.

no he didnt

[Rover_Shaun]

Won 4 in 8 or something like that

Common sense dictates that we avoid. Once bitten twice shy.....but this is venky world and expectations are rock bottom.

[47er]

Like whoever is the most qualified and experienced from those who apply.

[darrenrover]

Bowyer's worked miracles really but in 2 short stints. Irrespective, the club is deeply indebted to him.

He's not the permanent solution though IMO but I guess nobody of note would even contemplate the position unless yet another ludicrous financial package was on offer.

Surely the dross behind the scenes need to be cleared out first and foremost, replaced by experienced, trustworthy, suitably qualified individuals.

Perhaps this ought to be preceded by a direct statement of intent by the current owners (not via a deluded lunatic) of their intentions and at last condescend to communicate. Are they committed? Or willing to sell?

Once all this has been established, we may be considered a credible option for a decent manager but not until.

Sparky, Mark Bowen and crew would do for me.

[47er]

And me!
