I think the squad we have should comfortably stay up in this league. Therefore the fact that we are struggling a bit focuses attention on the manager, the style of play,formations etc & on that basis Fergie is failing.When Dickov got sacked we were 17th, therefore we are only one place better off after all this time (there was also an interim manager of course in between Dickov & Fergie).Let's not forget he wanted to be judged when he had HIS team. Well he has now. So he's failing,sadly. Losing three centre backs all at once is a bit of a disaster which nobody could predict & it would be a set back for anybody, but that aside I'm not happy that he's our manager, but I don't like changing unless absolutely essential. I think go at the end of this season, regardless of whether we stay up or not.
If the season finished today then we have comfortably stayed up, all this doom mongering is all about what could happen. I'll say it again, people were saying they'd be delighted at a midtable finish but they can't handle the journey in achieving it

I've been watching Rovers since 1978 & have seen more ups 'n' downs than fans of most clubs & I'm quite happy to "handle the journey" to get to wherever we end up. I love the fact about watching Rovers that there's always some late season drama. For me it's more about the way things are being done & how we're playing etc that gets me a bit down, not the final result.Regardless of who is managing the team I'll still be cheering for a win on Saturday though, that won't change.It's not doom mongering, I just think Fergies had more than a fair crack of the whip & I'd prefer someone else. Next season.

Is this the work of Kieran, otherwise known as Swiss Ramble?
The fact you had to look tells me you hadn't even considered it and are fully consumed in what's below rather than what's above
All in all guys,I tend to agree with Dickos, Hound you have the chance to kick me next week. I don't think we will go down, but wish Fergie should get his act together, and stop making the game more complicated than it is. Tinkering with the line up, and formations should be put on hold, until we are safe, and players are properly fit. If we are safe with two or three games to go, then play a couple of fringe/young players to see if they have a future at the club.

Keep with him for now, see where we are in a couple of weeks

They show wages, which is only part of a club's budget - and even then it only shows the amount of wages that have been spent and not the whole amount of what's available to be spent on wages.

Plus there's not much use for including money held back that could have been spent when you're looking after the event (unless it goes into next year, and then it becomes relevant)
