Quote from: rover-n-out on July 14, 2020, 07:17:45 pmMalik subbed at half time.that might have been to save him for the next match !! which would have been a sensible move --was thinking what the odds were about winning their next match and guess who it is mighty Luton away .sorry at home ... unbelievably a match they could win !!!! then its Cardiff away apparently the players lost their appetite for both football and the post match meal lots of free food went begging could say they "ate nil" actually an 8-0 defeat ( in a cup game) i seem to recall didn't do Rovers any harm . At the time of the beating i decided what would happen at the end of the season and was right . http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/2553547.stm
actually having just looked at the remaining fixtures if "dropping like a stone" Birmingham can beat Charlton today Hull will have an excellent chance of staying up.charlton then play wigan home and Leeds away if Charlton draw with wigan and lose to leeds they end up with 47 points Hull beating Luton puts them on 48 points and a better goal difference than Luton who can then only make 48 points and my "is it worth getting promotion " thread comes true https://www.drfc-vsc.co.uk/index.php?topic=275083.0as usual lots of "if's" but Hull can quite easily stay up if Birmingham somehow win that match.meanwhile the Middlesbrough team are all suffering nosebleads

Enjoy the good times to help you through the bad times.The ones that shout and gloat the most are the ones that get the most stick when it goes wrong.

Like every manager though, McCann will get another club sooner or later.
Toll Bar Raggy Arse Wanderers are looking for a new manager. Ten quid and a packet of condoms per match.That's about his level now.
Football is a job , if someone offers more money to do the same job elsewhere the majority of people will take it .
Alan I totally agree with that except the Butler part - we didn’t so much lose him as kick him out. By the sound of things GM didn’t leave us needing to send Christmas cards to people left at Rovers, he seemed to have upset many long before departing.I guess the old adage “you reap what you sow” fits here
Not sure PDX.I said at the time he left that jumping ship, to that club of all clubs, screamed out that McCann didn't have confidence in himself.He inherited an excellent situation at Donny. For all Ferguson's faults, he had put together a superb squad. And McCann was given support to improve it. And fair play to him, he did a very good job with what he had. If he's had confidence in his own ability, he'd have stayed another year. he would have built on what he'd done and taken us up, or at least had us challenging seriously again. Do that, and he'd have had good, well-run Championship clubs sniffing round. But he knew Marquis was going. He knew Rowe was going. He knew he wasn't going to get Wilks and Kane back. He knew he had to rebuild the defence. I don't think he had the self-confidence to trust himself to do that. So instead, he jumped at the first Championship club t show him a bit of leg. Even a shit show like Hull. I said 12 months ago that he was only 2 months of shit form away from seeing his managerial career evaporate. Who is going to take him on now? A CV of one featherbedded "nearly" with us, where he left us far worse than he found us, one massive under achievement at Peterborough and one utter catastrophe at Hull.
I tend to agree with what BST has mentioned also - however, I would always want to do better and the chance to earn significantly more would be enticing. Football is a short career never knowing what is around the corner. We are obviously very tribalistic about this - how dare they leave our club for a bigger supported club, and an extra grand a week! I dare bet most of us would think long and hard about jumping ship, for a quarter of that! What I would say BST is, they were offering you the money for your contacts, and you could have made the difference at that company and gained them a foothold in the sector. Whether they would have rinsed you dry and got rid, is another thing.
