Awesome.

(sarcasm doesn't come across well in typing form).

Hands up who remembers the long and extensive search for a Manager before and then we ended up with Dean f@cking Holden. Lovely human being. Great at filling water bottles and picking up the cones. Should neve be anywhere near the Manager's job. I fear that we will end up with someone of a similar ilk. God I hate Modays at the best of times but today is a whole different level.

Spot on Mr Geldof.

Lansdowns Out.

The worst decision since Olaf The Hairy, King of all the Vikings, ordered 80,000 battle helmets with the horns on the inside. 
 

Lansdowns Out.

If it’s Jones it’ll be ******* hilarious at the Gate. They’d have to make up a new word for toxic as that wouldn’t be strong enough

I’ve rolled my eyes at people who say they are done with the club over this, but if they employ that odious rat faced ****, I think I’d join them. 
 

Lansdowns out.

I sent an email with thanks to Dean

Good call, just done the same. Never felt the need before but this is a shocker of a decision IMO. 

Lansdowns out.

• Injury crisis
• Poor recent form
• Fans hostile to the club
• General sense of total chaos at the club

I expect to see the opposite of a 'new manager bounce' personally. I predict the sense of giving everything/running themselves into the ground that we've seen from the players will disappear somewhat. Look how QPR went into total freefall last season. 

We're only 4 points better off than 21st as it stands. Nine off the relegation spots. Still a very, very long 32 matches to play. Feeling ultimately very pessimistic about the club this evening – do we need to worry about relegation?

I said to my Mrs as soon as I heard the news, I might have a bet on us to go down now.

I've never been this upset/angry about a manager leaving. 

Bizarrely I was in Asda when Gary Johnson was sacked and also in Asda today when Pearson was sacked.

You ought to start shopping in Sainsbury’s mate

Who’s going to start the petition??

Too early…

**** off Lansdown. Sell up…now.

But apart from the stadium, the training ground, the financial stability to ride out tough economic times / covid, the play-off final what have the Lansdowns ever done for us?

The play off final?

1 shot at glory in 25 years of ownership. FFS.

Do we have 11 players out with ACLs?

Did I say that?

We picked up 3 in game injuries on Wednesday. Nobody, no matter how good a medical professional they are, can “prevent” that. 
 

If you think Rennie or anyone else can prevent Matt James getting a kick on the ankle, well, good luck with that.

His hands are tied because of the injury crisis. That’s what you should be kicking off about. If we had Vyner, Atkinson, McCrorie, Tanner & Naismith our defence would be looking good.

How many more player do you want? If we had no injuries and put out similar to todays team were still playing poorly then yes, SL would need to answer why he didn’t strengthen the team but that isn’t the case.

The fact you’ve said I’m sending SL shows you haven’t read what I’ve said. You need to direct your anger/request for someone to speak to the professional people in the roles that are causing issue. Rennie/Orme/the other fitness coach whose name I’ve forgot. They need to come out and explain why we have 11/12 first team players out and what they are going to do to resolve it and prevent it happening again.

Prevent it happening again?

How do you propose anyone prevents players picking up in game injuries or acl’s..?

Not sure I want to hear from him if I’m honest, as I imagine the next time he pipes up is when he changes another manager. 
 

It will then be the usual bullshit about going to the next level. I’m sorry Steve, anyone who thought Dean Holden was that, clearly hasn’t got a scooby.

Precisely, Nige P is doing a good job with naff all £££s to spend. Pay peanuts …. Get monkeys

And that’s it in a nutshell. Compare the money the previous two managers were allowed to fritter away, it’s chalk and cheese. 
 

Of course people will point to the players sold under LJ and he was only reinvesting that money, but Nige has had his best players sold and hardly seen a penny. 
 

Lansdown is hanging him out to dry.

Yes - you're right in that I enjoyed being genuinely closer to the play offs for a couple of seasons and the best cup run and victory in my entire years of support. 

Thing is- we were better then than we are now.  That is no dig at Nige, it's just a statistical fact.

You weren’t supporting us when we reached the same stage of that competition under Jordan then? Or when we beat Liverpool away in the fa cup?

Sorry if I am being dense, but which Thomas is that on the bench? I thought we had recalled Olly Thomas from Newport for a minute but he is on their bench today.

Lewis Thomas, goalkeeper.

Lots of them saying that it was the worst decision the club have ever made,he was the best manager they have ever had etc etc,so far up Bartons arse they are coming out of his mouth!!

Wouldn't mind betting there will be a few stories of arguments on the terraces at the swamp tomorrow.

Seems to be a definite split in the fanbase over this, and saw one bloke who said he was returning now Jaily was gone, told he wasn't welcome..!!

Tell me they were joking.

Although, thinking about it, a visit to the Mem would probably swing it in Rovers favour.

Oh no, he’s still going. Don’t do drugs kids…

Might be a refreshing change for him to manage players he wants in a squad he’s balanced and prove beyond any doubt he has the nous to take a team from nowhere to somewhere. He’d certainly get backing by both board and fans and that might sway him to do a job he’d actually enjoy for a while. We might just be a stepping stone in his journey back to the top flight but the longer you’re not in a role the easier it is to forget you.

They got more chance with Beatrix Potter.

Just incredible levels of delusion.  

What about this cracker…

If Wael was still the sole hand at the helm then an ex-Chelsea name like John Terry, Frank Lampard or even Graham Potter might actually have had some legs. Although in a job with a Saudi first division club Robbie Fowler has always wanted to manage in England and might well apply again. However, if that list of managers odds is representative of the quality of candidates we can expect there’s going to be a lot of crap football played at the Mem in the coming months!

I wonder if his post match interview the other night had anything to do with it..?

Maybe Wally and Alf just got sick off the gob on him. Personally I'm gutted, a match made in heaven.

Don't do it Cotts.

16 years ago we nearly achieved something but didn’t.

Forgive me for not rushing to find the bunting.

You need to strap in and grow a pair mate. I’m 54 and caught the back end of the glory days, and all of the demise. You either love this club or you don’t. Trust me, I wish I didn’t but I do. Thats why I’m going to have a shit few days until Saturday. Then I’m back in the saddle.

I don’t think we’ll reach the premier league in my life time, but, **** it, I’m going to cheer us on with little hope until I curl my toes up.
