LR's pre match interview

[MAMiller]

Funny isn't it that we always refer to Warney and never go further back.

I can't believe what short memories people have of Steve Evans, another manager we never should have hired, he crushed the external view of the club. Leave he where he likes to be, around the range rovers in Surrey.

Also I can't believe Warney left solely because the offering of Derby was just better.

I mean of course its better. He's regularly in front of 30,000 fans and make no mistake he WILL keep Derby in the Championship because they have the infrastructure and funds to back him with better players.

I was mortified when he left because it relayed to me the pinnacle of what RUFC will ever be.

Soon as we start a season good in the Championship the manager and better players will just leave.

It's become a stark matter of fact that we will only ever be a decent L1 club.

Don't spout that new owners blah blah will change anything because we've shown already the town won't back the club.

We had the chance and we blew it.

I knew from the off MT was not the man. 6 months prior I met him at a youth club end of season awards and he practically **** himself on stage. The guy should have stayed in Exeter end of. A Gas fan tells me he's not got much time left at Rovers either.

I detest the man for his pig ignorance that everything Warney built had to be ripped up and so damn quickly. It wouldn't surprise me if his name being said in the corridors prompted fines. I think he actually hated the name Paul Warne.

The appointment of LR just shows the joke of a club we've become on the outside. The football World are laughing at us.

What's even more impressive is that it seems failures are rewarded with seats upstairs. Scott being made DoF just states how male pale stale and utterly clueless this board of directors is.

As others have said RUFCs problems stem from the boardroom and things have to change there if change is to happen lower down

I agree, it does go further back

Stewart should have kept his hands in his pockets and never had anything to do with the train wreck of a club he took over

Great post MaMiller. I really enjoyed the time in which PW was our manager; even the relegation seasons were full of effort and commitment. As much as I understood his reasons for leaving, I was dejected and worried for the future of the club because you rarely get an individual who is so suited and bonded to a role. Your quote above is the essence of what went so catastrophically wrong with the club. The disgraceful treatment of Richard Wood was just the start of the unpicking of the fabric which is essential for the survival of a club of our stature.

However, time marches on and next season will be a real tester. The primary task is to undo the criminal damage that Taylor inflicted on our club. Whether this will be LR's responsibility or someone else's, I don't envy the task and I am resigned to the fact that a Warney bounce-back is extremely unlikely!
