He manages one of the women's teams. I asked him if he was applying and he said Wali speaks to him often and seems to rate him.

havanatopia Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 I would recruit Holloway until the end of the season and then, if he keeps them up, discuss a longer term deal. Of course IH will want assurances about the training ground and a new tent at the bell end. He may not get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 15 hours ago, Redsi2 said: Surely the rovers will go down the cheapest option which is to give the job to someone already at the club so they don't have the extra expense of employing a third manager of the season Cometh the hour, cometh the man. I've had a word with Sunday League Dave from the Dog & Duck FC and he says he'll do it for £60 a week, providing he doesn't have to hold up that bloody embarrassing scarf when he's announced. Can't work Saturdays either, 'cause he's on shifts then. Actually, scrub that. He's probably overqualified for the job, thinking about the Garner appointment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Warnocks record speaks for itself so yes surely most City fans would have had warnock over tisdale a few years back. I never wanted Warnock anywhere near us. Pulis was bad enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.G.Red Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) 14 hours ago, PHILINFRANCE said: Apparently, Swindon's goalkeeper (on loan from Bournemouth) has been recalled and they need an urgent replacement for Saturday for their match against Rovers. The word on one of their (Rovers) forums is that we are going to loan them JoJo W - I can't really see it, but just imagine if he plays a blinder and keeps a clean sheet. Well Agent Jojoja has signed for Swindon on loan , so that should be interesting. Edited February 12, 2021 by E.G.Red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking the managers asked for 8 cups of tea and 2 new players, got their tea didn't they? He has really thrown the last two managers under the Bus. As he would have been involved in recruitment he seems to be laying the whole blame on Garner and Tisdale, which is fine. Puts a lot of pressure on him as temporary manager and the new bloke to get results. Big game Saturday, if they don't win it really could mean trouble. I hope our own Jojo Woolacott has a very good game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d much rather hold onto that identity than a League One status. Joey Barton should not even be under consideration. This 'family club' racially abused a Dartford goalkeeper and punched a police horse. Not sure what moral high-horse you're sitting on that makes you believe we're any better or different from other clubs but we're the same as everyone else. And? Just because we have a fringe element of absolute losers that follow us doesn't mean that we're not a community club at heart. Don't give me that old pony about our club being the same as everybody else's. Our community trust has done outstanding work to ensure that this club remains accessible to its fanbase. If you think otherwise go and compare the work we do in the community to that of those in the Premier League, or even the Championship.
