Finley_Smith10 Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 Hopefully GT asks him some decent questions and we get some actual decent answers. I.e future backing, why performances have took a bad turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Should be good GT pulls no punches. Also this is different, a CEO taking an interview when things aren’t going well! Edited November 8, 2021 by One Team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curr Avon Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 35 minutes ago, Gillies Downs Leeds said: For those interested Richard Gould is on Sound of the City on radio Bristol tonight. We asked Nigel to get the club out of this division as quickly as possible and he's currently on his way to delivering that objective. I'm kidding! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree Geoff. Nigel has turned this club around. When he joined we were hopeless and desperate. Now we're desperate and hopeless. I'm kidding, but it's fun. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galley is our king Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 I think he will come across very differently to Ashton. Came to Senior reds a few weeks ago. Seemed assured, knows his stuff. Happy to take questions on anything. Nothing phased him. Also seemed like a nice guy (don't think I would want to get on the wrong side of him though). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desso Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 Questions to ask him. Have we still got a Chairman? If allowed, is Steve prepared to back the club in January? If the manager is away for an extended period, would we get a temporary coach in? cough, cough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was definitely some genuine needle between Twentyman and Ashton. It'll be much more amicable with Gould but I'm sure he won't shy away from asking the tough questions that need to be asked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is patronising to suggest GT doesn’t give any interviewees a tough time. He played for, captained & was assistant manager of Rovers but Wael still gets the same treatment. Ashton is someone you can understand getting under an interviewers skin, all buzz words and spin, so no wonder GT would sound irritated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it probably went much further than that. Ashton has previous form for having falling outs with local media that are critical of him/the club (see Watford) so it wouldn't surprise me if there'd been an off-air falling out or two. But that's only speculation on my part... Twentyman just sounded borderline angry the last couple of times he spoke to Ashton, and that's very unlike him. Clearly, no love lost between the two of them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff is nobodies fool (despite playing for the Gas), clearly got his finger on the pulse with the local clubs and clearly has good contacts at them too. Ex player, been involved with Rovers in a coaching / management capacity - he’s a quality individual to have in our local media and respected by managers of both clubs. He could see through Ashton’s bullshit 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
