Erm Keith Curle sacked again, he has had a fair few sackings over his time as a manager

They are in the bottom four of League 1 but by no means adrift.

To be expected I suppose tho he did well with them last season. I thought he was half decent for us apart from the footy being a bit boring, where were we in L1 when he was sacked, about 8th? Think it was the Stags connection that put a lot of our fans off.

[Davy500]

Yes , and i seem to remember he left the Stags under a cloud too

Wasn't it because of allegations of 'bullying'?

If I remember correctly he was exonerated and compensated?

[Davy500]

Yes it was something like that, and he was fully cleared of any wrong doing in the end

I also felt that Keith Curle was on a hiding to nothing with some fans after replacing the charismatic and popular Martin Allen.

Bristol Rovers can do what they want for some reason I don’t particularly like that club, Keith Curle I have a lot of time for and in my opinion was disposed of far too early, but unfortunately for him he’s always a sacking waiting to happen.

He's been the same in virtually every job. An impressive start, sometimes sustained for a while, but then he just seems to fade away. An impact manager rather than one who delivers long-term. There are always a fair few clubs needing a short-term boost though, so I'm sure he'll get another job before long.

I know a couple of Northampton season ticket holders. No disappointment from them. 6 points from 10 league games, with just one win. They also said the football is dire. Just a long boot upfield all the time. Told me that they want to see the ball on the floor and proper football played.
