I can remember Mr Elton John being sat in the Directors box circa 1973 , same day we beat Watford 5 nil Tony Field scored a hat trick , I think ?

What is the lowest points total in this league ?

78 very similar got a manager nobody wanted ..... But at least the board acted after relegation and we got Howard Kendall....Unlike today..

I wonder what JA is doing ?

Yes, more than a possibility ...

Is there no end to this Indian Farce ?

Great player and manager for the Rovers , wish we had his like today ! Thanks for the memories ..Bury 1980 what a night !

With all respect Parson with the present set up , we will be bottom of the old 3rd division in 2 years ..... Ken Furphy was appointed and things improved , well we need another KF now !

No club has worse owners than us !

It is August 30th and this thread has 8 pages already , how many pages will it have by the last game ? 1058 is my guess..

Yeovil ! When we never tried to win ! Bowyer will take us down , he has to be sacked !

Hang around it is coming !

True , one slight problem though ... Gary Bowyer was not their manager ...

On Sky Sports 1 now Parson , Portsmouth are playing Derby ....

Depends if Rhodes leaves , if he does it is 1st Division here we come !

Murphy is a disgrace to his profession ! Hildersley tried , I remember him scoring a brilliant equaliser at Shrewsbury .. Murphy will be remembered for being signed by another con merchant by the name of Kean ! Not as good as the great Tugay but Howard Kendall was one of the best midfielders I have seen to wear a blue n white shirt ! A man who really could put himself about ! What we would have given for him this afternoon ..

Didn't know him personally ,remember seeing him at many grounds all over the country through the 80s and early 90s .. RIP

Another total waste of money , by Kean

He is not good enough , but one can hardly blame him for wanting to leave the circus !

I will go further kean could manage Spain and they wouldn't even qualify for the World Cup he is that inept ! Not as awful as we look in the dugout ! Kean must go for the club to progress SIMPLES !

Good foil for Simon Garner for a couple of seasons , not a great goalscorer but contributed to the team effort ... From a day when the Rovers was run by people who cared.... Bobby Saxton , Bill Fox etc , etc what must they think about our present set up ? Probably un printable ! RIP Chris

A very sad day for football ....R I P

I have been busy all day , just got a text saying Jensen sacked ...Without scrolling through the pages... WHY JENSEN and not KEAN or BOTH of THEM???

I remember losing to Crewe in the FA cup 2nd round at home in 1972 or 73 , not very old at the time , I think an ex Rover scored for Crewe ..
