Rovers appoint Dave Penney as manager

Bristol that is...

All the best Dave, must've been a decent offer for him to move house!

[The Dav]

I will second that, after all the revival began with Dave.

They must have given him a choice - commute for a one year deal or move to Bristol and get a two year deal!  

Glad to see him back in the game and pleasantly surprised it's at a L1 club, thought he might have to drop down after Oldham. Up the Gas!

Yeh I just read that forum too - makes a Sheffield Wednesday forum seem intelligent. Half the people on there wanted Paul Hart! Shows that people look at names before they look at win %ages! Ridiculous.

By and large the vast majority of 'Gas Heads' are positive about DP's appointment. See their forum here.

Think I just might pop down the M4 tomorrow and wish him all the best against Walsall!

That job probably suits him. He's proven with us that he can keep smaller teams up in that league, and I reckon his style can make a quick impact on a team, and his appointment could be a good move in their battle against relegation.

Good luck Dave!

Classic quote off above site:

\"Welcome Dave! - do us a Doncaster please (by that I mean a double promotion not ferret racing and p*ssing in the sink)\"

Cheeky ****ers, did mek me chuckle though.  They will ultimately be proved wrong: we ant gorra sink.
