Hi Mack Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 TM really has done everything he can. You can blatantly see the barrier he is hitting in his style of play. The game has moved on and he hasn't. I cannot think of a huge list of possible replacements but Ainsworth and Damien Johnson are names that I think would be an improvement. Or do we look at a young European coach like a few other teams have done? Wolves Norwich and Forest have all had success down this route. Changes are genuinely needed, TM can't be trusted with any more funding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norbert Rassragr Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 If we're going to end up cutting costs, and go on a starvation diet I'd suggest Mark Robins. He's used to a revolving door squad and scrabbling for loans and free transfers at Coventry city. If we are really hoping to improve, get up and be a contender for promotion, we might need either Chris Hughton, or take a punt on someone based abroad like Norwich, Brentford or Brighton have done.

I wouldn't give him another penny He's spent £12 million on two players we'd be lucky to get a tenth of that for now.

OldEwoodBlue Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Just looked at the league table. We are never getting 70 points. A week ago we were a point outside the play offs with a much better GD. Now it's all over 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) You could bring Guardiola in and we'd not get promoted... The clubs got a bit of stability back under Waggot and Mowbray, but we're going nowhere under Venkys, thats the reality of our situation. Someone has just suggested Chris Hughton and Mark Robins, Ainsworth or Johnson, if thats the market we'd be aiming for and i doubt Hughton would come here, I'll stick with Mowbray thanks very much. All that said........ Give Mark Hughes £15m to spend on players and a big bonus to get us up, job done We'd not be coasting through games thats for sure.

Exiled in Toronto Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 My view at the beginning of the season was it all depended on Gallagher and Brereton working out - he spent almost the entire transfer budget on them so we needed 25 league goals from the pair and we’ve had 5 is it? Add in the fact Walton has been a catastrophe and we were goosed from the start entirely because of his transfers. Time’s up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomphil Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 To be honest despite the flop this season i still believe Gallagher and Brereton are both capable of better than they've shown. However under this manager i doubt they ever will because his handling and use of them has been abysmal. He's done great with Armstrong and Dack but the fact that one is quality and one actually has natural goal scoring ability really helped him on that level. If the owners don't want to write off most if not all of those investments - because that's the only reason they funded them - then they need a manager who has some nous how to use them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d prefer a manager of the ilk you mention but I’d take Mark Hughes back in a heartbeat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unleaded Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Wow Only Venkys could keep him as the longest serving manager... They just go from one extreme to another .... He just knows how to milk the cow ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm Nyambe or Travis' agent I'm angling for a move away. They both have a lot of potential and could play for more ambitious clubs.

Nuno got the Wolves job due to his agent. Stuart Webber who was sporting director at Huddersfield when he appointed Wagner then he walked out on them for Norwich where he appointed Farke. 1 hour ago, OldEwoodBlue said: Bristol City just fired their manager.

I think Brereton isn't a footballer. He's absolutely shocking. I've followed Rovers since about 1993 and I would say he is our worst signing in that period if you consider relative cost to budget. Gallagher does have something about him though as we know from his first spell. But he isn't a right-fookin-winger. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazza Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Mark Hughes had 3 very good backroom staff with him when he was at Rovers. One of them is manager of Reading. I don't know where Nediwinski (?) and the other fella is. But Hughesy on his own may not be as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenrover Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Waggot needs replacing first and foremost and the new man empowered sufficiently to hire and fire the first team manager. It's the only thing that will ever work with our absentee landlords. If that were to happen, then watch every bugger else wake up from their slumber! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
