Not really talking nonsense tbf. Last season, yep it was a good one, no doubts the cup runs were excellent. I also agree that JDT is a good coach, who will likely be successful at another club. Yep, had we backed him in the summer we could have very well built on last season and could have gone on one further and secured a play off place. JDT's style of play doesn't suit what we have now though, it's undeniable. We've conceded the most goals in the league, most from set pieces, we've not won a league game for 2 months and put in some abysmal performances along the way. He's also failed to beat/lost to Sheff Wed, Huddersfield, Rotherham & QPR. It's not his fault, the rug was pulled from under him but he failed to adapt and if he remained in charge for the rest of the season there is a good chance we'd be relegated. Glass half full says we finished 7th last season, excellent season. Glass half empty says we spent more time in the top 6 than anyone other than The Dingles or Sheff Utd and finished outside of it.

Certainly wouldn't help, agreed. I just don't think that style of play suits the players we have at Rovers. And now Wharton has gone it's even more apparent.

It feels like this appointment would be a better fit for us than JDT was. With JDT the club was trying to run before it could walk. I really couldn't get on board with the whole passing out from the back/trying to have all the possession stuff. A few worrying comments in Eustace's first interview about carrying that on but he does say to "put his stamp on it" Ultimately, if we stick with what JDT was doing, we will get relegated. Eustace needs to make us better organised, better defensively, better at set pieces and not to be concerned about how much possession we had. We need points on the board asap and we've gotta hope that's his only remit right now.

JDT gone. Official now

Ok but what about today?

Johnson must have been taking training if JDT is resigning, you would think. So wouldn't be surprised to see him taking charge tomorrow. But with this club, you never know.

Amazingly he boasts a 45% win percentage. Somehow though, he's managed 4 different clubs and only managed to be in charge for 66 games. Weird. (Obviously, I'm against his appointment)

That's a great write up. *Awaits Robbie Fowler announcement* ✍️ 😭

There was no chance that deal was happening, we all knew it. Another spectacular cock up by the club. ⚾ O'Brien - Strike 1! ⚾ Brierley - Strike 2! ⚾ McGuire - Strike 3! You're out, Gregg!!

Are we expecting anything from the club today?

"Venky’s are deeply concerned by Rovers’ return of just five points from their last 11 games and know their next appointment has to hit the ground running." 😂😂

😂 This made me laugh way more than it should have done

It's always the million dollar question. Why are Lowe and Benson untouchable? Time for Lowey to get out his photo of Balaji and the pool boy (or whatever it is!) In order to keep his job, again.

Is this a nudge, nudge, wink, wink scenario that I'm too stupid to see?

We're in absolute turmoil ----------------------Pears JRC--------Hyam---Wharton---Chisene -------Garrett----Tronstad---Fleck- ----Szmodics---Gallagher---Dolan 0-4

Yeah, terrible. Szmodics has his hand over his face, none of Gallagher, Hedges or Pears look bothered/interested in what's being said (can't blame them like as Waggots talking)

They clearly don't discuss tactics. Gotta talk about something I suppose.

Seem to remember there was a similar scene in "The Damned United". Obviously, didn't end well for Cloughie.

Didn't he call K**n a gem? The bloke knows absolutely fuck all about football.

If they appoint Rooney I'm done. Fuck that.

Oh sorry, I apologise, I clearly didn't read your post correctly. My bad.

Warnock already has a job. Took over at Aberdeen a few days back. Gary Rowett or John Eustace, one of those 2, surely?

JDT leaving is no surprise whatsoever. I have little faith that anyone at the club will get the next appointment correct. JDT has been looking for the sack for a long time now. He knew his comments in the media wouldn't be tolerated forever. Results have been absolutely wank as well for far too long.

Obviously he wasn't ever joining, the club is a fucking shambles. Also, why would he even want to join us next season, when we are likely going to be in League one?

Agreed. They can't allow it or it sets the precedent for the future/all clubs.
