Hull make official approach for McCan

[IDM]

Announcement incoming.....

Don’t forget to post on here who the next manager will be, eh.?

Not sure if it’s jealousy or what but it’s tedious

Nope, just find it annoying.. my new manager info comment was just a quip.

Never mind, the point was made.

[Filo]

I’d like our board to use thesame words McCann used about our departing players


“We don’t want anyone here who is not 100% commited to the club, he was an average manager when he came here, we made him better, buthe’s gone chasing the money, we can and will get better in”



😂😂😂😂

[dickos1]

It will be more like we didn’t want to stand in his way, we now begin the search for the new manager. And will have someone in place for the new season

[redarmy82]

I bet we've let him go for peanuts as well.

[rtid88]

Is he on a 1 year rolling contract? If so Hull won't have to pay much....

[IDM]

My guess is, there will be some sort of value in his contract required to be paid, to break it.  To be honest I don’t care what that is in £, the concern is to get a new man in, and quickly..

[mushRTID]

Have had time for this to sink in and to be totally honest it still hasn’t.

Feeling like we’ve all been let down by him. To let key players go due to his contract offers and decisions then piss off I think is completely out of order.

And then all the bullshit about loyalty and wanting to be here, then bugger off himself at the first opportunity to let’s face it, a mediocre championship job. He now looks like a complete d**khead in my eyes.

Sorry to be childish but I hope he relegates them.

If he fails there (and he will) then he's going to look really stupid, and will struggle to get another decent gig.

A years salary

[Donnybob]

I'm definitely ITK. Apparently we should have aimed higher than McCann. In fact I've just used this site's excellent search facility to look at what folk on here were saying a year ago about the appointment of our (still) current manager. Does underwhelmed ring a bell? Or cheap option?

The really interesting thing to do is search out what individual posters are saying now against what they said then. Fascinating stuff.

Perhaps a little patience is in order. And whatever happens the club will survive. What is posted on here has had and will have an influence on judgements and morale of staff be they management or players, current and future.

I also looked on Sunderlands board regarding a certain goalscorer. They are making it clear to their board they don't want him under any circumstance, based on, yep, you've guessed, Rovers fans opinions.

Shout me down by all means but clubs carry out due diligence. Don't think supporters opinions are not part of it.

And for a candid view of our manager? He's gone missing in the big games. His record against stronger clubs leaves much to be desired.  I had/ still hoped he would learn and come good, with us, as well he may, but dont forget this is League One. Will he cope in the Championship against better funded, much stronger teams?

As a young, ambitious manager I suspect he might risk all and go for it. After all, if he flops next season with us then his chance may have gone forever. If he flops with Hull there's a decent pay-off, sympathy for having tried against the odds and no doubt plenty of lower ELF opportunities.

I havd to say though, for a cheap option he's done us proud this past 11.5 months. If he can repeat that with a truly basket case of a club then he's made for life.

There’s always a job at Talksport for failed managers 😂😂

Agree totally with this....

Having to listen to Dean Saunders and Alan Brazil every morning would be more than karmic punishment enough for leaving us.

[eastender]

How many of our past managers starting with Dave penny have actually succeeded else where after they have left us , either after being sacked or head hunted . I can't think of one.

You don't even need to start with Penney I suppose...who was the last manager to achieve success after leaving Rovers? Billy Bremner!?

I wouldn't call Butler, Rowe, Andrew or Marosi key players. The main key players were Kane & Wilks who were always going to a higher club and Marquis & Whiteman who are still here and under contract and of course Copps who was never going anywhere!!

Bremner was sacked by Leeds

McMenemy was probably the last oneto succeed after leaving us

[Bentley Bullet]

What about Joe Kinnear?

Never won anything with Wimbledon

Leading them to 6th place in the Premiership is no mean feat.

[glosterred]

If it all goes wrong for GM and the deal falls through at Dull, would he be welcomed back at the KMS?


COYR

Certainly wouldn't be the same, it's kinda like been cheated on.

[Dare to dream!]

Hoden confirmed announcement is imminent

[Campsall rover]

No announcement has been made so we don’t know anything yet. Your all talking like he has gone already.
They might interview 3 or more people before a decision is made.
He might decide DRFC’s grass is greener and not want the job.
WE DON’T KNOW DO WE.
AS usual gossip gossip that’s all it is.
Put the cricket on TV it’s much more interesting.
ENGLAND are in trouble!

[eastender]

Hoden confirmed announcement is imminent

I've had it confirmed that an announcement is imminent. Think everyone knows which way this has gone #drfc #hcafc

[Herbert Anchovy]

According to Hull Daily Mail Twitter, GM has now agreed to join Hull.
