The Dolman Pragmatist Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 It sounded likely from the interview on Radio Bristol that he had asked for funds for January and was turned down. The guy was near to tears and I felt really sorry for him, and also for Rovers fans if they are to lose a promising manager because of their Board’s refusal to back him. I can imagine how frustrating that would be. Sorry, I’m obviously out of step with everyone else on this thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 Bloke spends 8 years at Southend without a murmur, then 12 months at Tent-land and wants to move home. He is probably missing warm water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, this was one piece of news that probably deserved it’s own thread for a few hours. It’s an interesting topic and several wouldn’t have seen it as quickly in the normal thread - which isn’t one I usually check. One evening wouldn’t have done much harm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Net Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 Can't blame him - his family live in Sheffield, so it would be much closer to home. Mansfield have a decent ground, training ground and some money for players - we don't tick any of those boxes. No room for sentiment in football, if it's a good deal for him then he has to take the opportunity. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLionLad Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 "There’s been a massive lull in morale during the last year in which we’ve gone from bottom of the league 4 points adrift to 4th in the league January to January. Our manager who has overseen that last year says he has a decision to make over the weekend with his family and you’ve only got to scroll through the threads on Gaschat tonight to see that our fan base has become much more like the 82ers than I ever thought it could have. Great times for the team anyway." Nice of him to admit we are a class above the fewers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Unbelievable. Had the worst week football wise in ages and on my way home from the gate, I heard Cockman on the radio saying that he had some important decisions to make rather than revelling in the glory of a good away win. Rather forgot about it for a few hours, then came here and read that it seems he has probably gone to Mansfield. That certainly turned around my fairly miserable week, that did. You can imagine the conversation with Wally though: "So oive got you to 4th, How abouts a poy roise" "Sorry mate, we've got no dough" "Backin in da Janry winda den?" "Maybe we can get a couple of camels you can trade for a donkey" "oi need marr dan dat. Hows about some decent facilities" "Well these things take time bud" "What straws can yer offer moi den? "Might be able to get you a fruit market in a couple of years if we can get a few mugs to stump up the cash" "Foine den yer dick. Oim off ter Mansfield den".

Think you are trying to find some sort of excuse to make yourself feel better and soften the blow that your manager is going to leave you for a club in the lower half of the bottom league, the same club that relegated you out of that very league! He spent 8 years at Southend. I know sags are not the smartest people in the world but you are aware of how far away Southend is from Sheffield? Bristol is slightly closer to Sheffield than Southend is! And then 12 months in Bristol and he is all of a sudden missing his family and wants to return home? Nah sorry mate I'm not sold on that excuse. Considering this is someone that has spent over half of his life away from where he was born, I'm not sure hes the type to get home sick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
