Dunny

[seventwo]

Let him get 3 or 4 games under his belt at Oldham and he'll be ready to replace the incompetent one.

[alfinyalcabo]

He should do really well there.. They have a couple of Mcdonalds and a Burger king..

Sounding a bit bitter alf is that what old age does to you
back to the original post he will do well as boss of oldham I expect them to climb up the table
maybe flitcroft and dunn will form a managerial partnership in the future for the rovers

[irish_claret]

"In the future" is right robinrover - right now the words frying pan and fire would spring to mind.

[robinrover]

Too true Irish claret
right now we need a manager who can work on no budget and a team who need a proper kick up the backside

Didn't the club try this with Henning Berg? And didn't that end in complete disaster? And didn't we have to pay him a tonne of compensation? For not winning once in 10 games?
Aye .....2 spells with us. A championship. A promotion. One of our own. Yes I seem to remember it being a total disaster. An expensive total disaster. Where one of our own took us to court to get his huge compensation pay out. Let's go back down that road. I'm sure it will all work out.

And who did we turn to to get us out of the ****e? The guy being blamed now.

Completely agree Champs on the point regarding dragging Dunny in as a replacement for GB.

Dunny (like most young managers) need to cut their teeth in the lower leagues first.

Now as for GB ... in three years has now gone full circle with the team from staving off relegation ..to flirting in the top ten ..missing the top six completely bar one week ..back to early relegation candidates.

Hes probably one of the longest serving managers in the Championship..has been given time..a little money ..and we re back to where we were when he first took over.

Time for a change ...?

If The club want to go up, there's one out of work manager who would get them up.
Allardyce. I don't like his methods, and it's football back in the dark ages. It's certainly not the type of football I could happily go and watch. But football is a results business. I like Bowyer. I think he's being treated disgustingly. But the mouthy ones are the ones who don't go. Just mouth off on messageboards, and come up with silly ideas like employing Dunn as manager. I like Bowyer, but I support Rovers. And want them to do well. More than one individual man. I think we need a change of luck.
But it's all pie in the sky. Allardyce will want a decent wage? Can we afford that? He will also need better players? Can we get out of this embargo? If it was all this simple, I'm pretty sure the owners would've moved to change something. This may be as good as it gets. If your replacing Bowyer, and I'm open to this, he has to be improved on. It would be a disaster if they went for Dunn, or similar. An

Id disagree about GB being treat disgustingly.

The one thing the fans have done at games is kept off GBs back.There has been little noise made by fans at games to show their despair at GB Whatever fans think about GB they ve always hoped it would work out for him but time and again he s simply proved hes just not really cut out to be a manager.

I think hes had an easy ride with the fans compared to a lot of managers at other clubs in similiar positions.

"A lot of average sides go up out of this league (Burnley etc) you sometimes need a decent manager to get you up"...
...and that one line Champs you ve written there is exactly what the majority in here have been saying for two seasons and have been termed as being negative . GB ISNT that decent manager ...with a decent manager with the players we ve had in the last two seasons i still maintain a play off place was there to be at least competed for.

Now we re looking for a decent manager to simply keep us up...

[champs95]

If that's the way you see it pal, fair enough.
I don't agree, but that's fair enough too. They won't go down. But if you thought they'd go up this season, you where always in for a huge disappointment. And with everything that's happened inside the club, off the pitch. The selling and not replacing with quality. I think he's being treated disgustingly.


And anyone can sit and moan for 2 seasons. There's Been a lot of change at the club, the playing staff has gotten weaker and weaker. There a reason for that. We had to get in a manager who could over see all of that, while keeping us competitive on the pitch. Allardyce would not have been able to do that. Neither would many other managers out there. However, now things are different. All of the high earners are now gone. That was the remit. Nothing else. Now things have settled, maybe someone like Allardyce could step in. But anywhere in the past few years, had that happened, it would've ended in an expensive disaster. Your blind
