Wonder what he thinks of this.

 

I had been feeling sorry for Gueye about this, then with the very last kick of the game at Fratton Park, where we should be focused and doing everything to get an equaliser, he was a mile offside, waving his arms around complaining at everyone else. Flag went up and final whistle went. Ship him out with the manager.

I have no doubt if this bloke stays he will take us down.

We havent got the best squad so we need a Head Coach who can over perform and produce something better than the sum of its parts.

This fellas the polar opposite imo.

We had one of those about 10 months ago. But of course, he was far too ambitious for this lot.

Exactly this. 

He's a shite manager and will relegate us.

Needs sacking ASAP.

And yet people still go to the games ?

You can sack him yes. It’s very difficult to back him TBH. It won’t make any difference though. 
 

The fundamentals at the club give his replacement virtually no chance of success. He wouldn’t get backed properly, he wouldn’t be allowed to have much, if any say on sales or incomings. The people above are a bunch of chancers only in it for themselves. Rovers aren’t just one fix away from succeeding in any way. In all my time supporting the club, in seasons where we struggle there was always some hope. Maybe key players were out, maybe there were easier fixtures ahead. Or maybe a decent signing in the next window would have an effect.

I don’t feel this way ATM. People saying today we’re in trouble. We’ve been in trouble since this crew turned up.

Don't see much merit in sacking Ismael.  He's a yes man but at least he's a proper manager, who knows what the alternative would be. 

I know we've struggled with seeing games out but I don't think there's many games I disagree with his subs, it's just the subs are shite. 

It's like asking a general to fight a war with dads army on the front lines.  You can't pad a military out with bits and bobs.

A "proper manager?

Could have fooled me.

We had one! I would think the reputation of the Club is  now such that we won't find another,

We've employed Steve Kean before and this lot are on the verge of making Gestede the CEO.  Don't put Shabani Nonda as manager beyond them
