Butler, Marosi and Andrew all appearing to have a pop at our Grant. Speaks volumes

Link, please.

They haven’t written anything. But they have posted very telling gifs and emojis.
-
Not suprising, he has just booted them out the club and pissed off. I don't think we should read too much into it tbh.
-
Not getting into all the in the know stuff. But butler didn’t get on with McCann. Don’t know about the other two.
But I think from his posts in the press this week he does come across arrogant and a tad disingenuous

Who’s arrogant, Butler or McCann?
-
If the gif you're talking about from Marosi is the Steve Carell one that was a reply to another tweet about Donny being quick out of the hat in the cup draw.
-
McCann
The article on Andrew he did I thought was embarrassing for the club.
Maybe things like that also didn’t go down well with the board, maybe that’s why they didn’t try to keep him. (If they didn’t)
-
Haven't seen what the other two have posted but Andrew strikes me as a complete airhead. Like nothing between the ears, even at an atomic level.
-
Andrew and Butler for sure making reference to McCann. Very telling.
-
Butler has just posted these emojis 🤔🤔🤔
Maybe it’s a good thing if players don’t like him, you usually get players complimenting the manger during the tenure but not sure any have done that
-
McCann just tweeted.
"Thank you to everyone at Rovers for their support over the past year, it has been a privilege to be your first-team manager. We did not secure the promotion we desperately wanted, but boy did we get close and I'm proud of what we all achieved in matching our best ever FA Cup run and going so close in the play-offs. It was an incredibly difficult decision to leave because the supporters took Cliff and I into your hearts, but the opportunity to manage in the championship is one I felt I had to take.
Rovers have the staff and resources to again push for promotion this season, and, hopefully, go one better - I gave 100% at every moment for you, and the excellent players and staff still in place will continue to give their all for you. Rovers are a special club and will always have a place in my heart. "

Yeah, none seem to be congratulating him and earlier they all seemed to be laughing and joking around. I don't think they're fussed.

Andrew: 🤭👀

Marosi hasn’t wrote anything that I can see.

He's getting some right dogs abuse.
Not warranted really.

He deserves the abuse, he’s left us in the crap big time
-
The only thing that’s getting me is leaving us with no players, surely if your manager and you’re releasing all these players and making no signings. You’d have a bid of dignity and pride to make sure you don’t leave it in such a mess.
He obviously doesn’t think we can make promotion this year.

Daft Kitsons still got his bio on twitter saying he’s rovers manager :lol:

So special he f*cked off at the first shot at a pay rise. Well f*ck you grant, I hope you’re sacked by Christmas cos you’ve sold your soul to the devil and complete nutter too! You could have become a legend here but you got greedy. Bad move that you will regret for the rest of your career. Next! :evil:

Interesting what you can interpret from this you could take them many ways.

He's getting trashed on twitter

Do you think he did is a favour, letting players leave , jumping ship in the middle of loans leaving them unlikely to complete . Marquis And Whiteman touted around like fresh meat . He was just a Thick Mick !!

A shining beacon of maturity in a sea of internet loathing.
Never mind manager, elevate him to the gods.
-
What a guy. He has the upmost respect and let’s listen to his wise words
-
Oh dear this is worse than Brexit.
Any one would have thought we have just gone into receivership.
Think there has been a massive over reaction to him leaving.
Yes i am as disappointed as anyone at him leaving us 1 week before the start of pre season training.
We will get someone else and he may turn out to be even better.
DRFC are more than just about GM aren’t they.
Let’s get real folks. Life goes on. Look to the positives and there are plenty. If you get negative it just takes you down. Smile
It’s life, it happens, it’s football. :rtid:

Make him manager...wait he has no players to manage. Think if ever a statue needs erecting around a ground his would be first.

Absolutely dead on !
It IS Football - and Football has become so very predictable off the pitch. This is something I posted less than 3 weeks ago re the Euro Super League and it "fits" into this debate perfectly. (I am not saying my post is perfect)
Quote from: DonnyOsmond on June 05, 2019, 10:14:26 AM
It's the circle of life. UEFA and the big clubs bully the PL and other top level competitions to get what they want. The Premier League bullies the EFL to get what they want for their clubs such as EPPP and the Checkatrade format. If the Super League is stopped or not it wont ever stop the greed of bigger clubs. Football was exciting because clubs could rise up and one day dream of winning the top tier but we've spent the past 20/25 years with the same boring clubs winning everything with only oil money changing that.
... end of DonnyOsmond quote
Fully agree with this. It is sheer greed by top Clubs everywhere - and increasingly in every sport
The "romance" of football used to be can you climb as did Northampton from Div 4 to Div 1 (top tier) - and yes you could BUT without MEGA money it cant be done now
Teams are increasingly "in their place". There are three (ish) layers of the Prem already - and the rest of the EFL is fast becoming stratified and that "romance" is dying fast because a Team like Scunny / Bury / FGR (insert your own names) will be in Tier 4 and their aspiration will be to make Tier 3 now and again and avoid Tier 5 - and that is a very sad place to be for those Clubs and their fans to be in and Gates will suffer and of course already have
There are people as we know who are glory hunters and wont support their local Team(s) - and they certainly wont be encouraged if that Team has aims only to stay where they are - have a good Season or 2 - and then come back down.
Sad but inevitable state of affairs - and my dad used to have many "sayings / views" one of which was - "when they take the maximum wage off Football the game will get ruined" He said that and though it has taken a while we have got to where I am sure he thought we would
Premiership trying to seal their "Club" and avoid Relegation of their Members. Already been discussed many times. Make Championship Prem 2 and do the same ? I would not discount anything
-
Having stood in the stands all season to deafening choruses of "we've got McCann... Super grant McCann".... What a fickle and disingenuous bunch some of our fans are.
He had a plan and started rebuilding the team around that plan. How was he to know someone would come knocking with what he sees as a golden opportunity, and probably a lot of money.
Which one of us can hand on heart say we wouldn't have chased the money, profile and challenges of the job he has gone too?
It's a game. The club will go on. I had already resigned myself to us possibly managing mid table at best this year... and that's fine by me.
I thought we were a pub team having a laugh but apparently some fans have designs on us being the Yorkshire Juve!

Maybe just maybe, GM was working on player ins and outs BEFORE Hull came knocking, it doing his job as we would have wanted him to.?
Your post implies he deliberately let players go, hadn’t signed enough replacements, then buggered off - all as some grand plan..
You may not mean that, but it can read that way.
To me, GM’s departure is bad timing and nothing more, nothing less..
-
He was before the interest I agree.
But as Jonathon posted this week he’s definitely not been working with the best interests of drfc while still taking his wage
