Can't possibly have anymore space for another first team coach 

JDT brought 2 guys in with him (Remy Reijnierse & Ben Rosen), Eustace also brought 2 (Matt Gardiner & Keith Downing), Ismael has so far only brought in 1 (Dean Whitehead).   So stands to reason (which is always dangerous when it comes to Rovers these days) there is a space.

It was rumoured he wanted Murray as part of his backroom team when he signed, but Venkys/Waggott/Pasha refused to sanction his pay off.,.. from Eastbourne in the National League South!  Which I assume was about the price of a fish supper

Sounds like Murray has worked his notice, so I am adding 1+ 1 together

Jesus christ that's embarrassing. With all the money we have brought in. And right after getting compo for Eustace and Ismael for no compo. Pathetic.

What if that extra coaching had got our shit together one game earlier and landed us in the playoffs? This club are the absolute masters of false economy.

You're probably correct. They shunted Lowe to another role or something, assumed he was now back as a coach again. Who knows, can't keep up these days.

Classic Venkys that, you can have that guy as a coach, as long as he resigns so we pay no compo 🤡

Wasn't Ismael supposed to have a 3 month clause ?

Maybe the eastleigh guy thought it better to wait.

A lot of people wrote Ayari off here and he’s made 32 appearances in the league this season Brighton.

I think ACD has a lot of qualities that will serve him well at Premier League level, he’ll win a lot more fouls up there than he did with us and not be burdened with defensive work as much.

I thought Ayari looked like a very good player and I was disappointed he didn't play more under JDT.

Remember when Ki-Jana Hoever (an athletic RB) absolutely roasted Dolan for two goals in a game against Stoke? That'll happen to ACD every week if he plays in the PL. 

The game at the top level has become one of athleticism and systems. I just don't see where ACD fits in and thrives with his lack of athleticism.

We're a shell of a football club. 

It's incredible we've been there or there abouts for the Playoffs the last three seasons (fell apart last year in December obviously) as we basically do absolutely everything wrong off the pitch.

Wasn't it the case that Murray wanting to see the season out at Eastbourne before leaving to come here.

Don't remember Dolan ever  playing left back.
