Grant McCann

[mushRTID]

Rumoured to have been sacked by Hulls new owners.

[dickos1]

Ridiculous after their last 2 results

[sedwardsdrfc]

Don't feel sorry for him if true. He did well at Hull though and has enhanced his reputation by going there. Feel like he might end up at SWFC when Moore gets sacked... can just see it happening

[donnyguy]

New man to come in is being reported as Shota Arveladze

[roversdude]

You reap what you sow

[LincsRover]

Oh dear, what a pity, never mind! At least he didn’t leave them with less than half a team just before a new season. No doubt he’ll get another job as he’s a decent manager but I won’t wish him well! 

[StocktonRover]

He'll reap a nice pay off then get another job

[Filo]

No sympathy here, f**k him!

[Chris Black come back]

I was about to say despite the last two excellent results, they were punching well below their weight. Then I checked average gates. They get dreadful crowds. Only 11k average this season at home. Are they still boycotting the owners or is that as much as they pull in? Would imagine if we were in the Championship we wouldn’t be too far behind that.

[GazLaz]

Their new owner will probably work out to be worse than the Alam family.

[PDX_Rover]

Our GM’s better than your GM… lol

[TixTheBox]

As much of a shit as he was for ditching us how he did, he clearly made the right decision and is levels above us.

I don’t feel sorry for him losing his job, he won’t wallow either. Some club is going to be lucky/smart enough to appoint him. Fantastic gaffer.

[drfchound]

That season under McCann was fantastic.
Lots of great memories.

[tyke1962]

I understand the Ill feeling from Rovers fans towards McCann I really do but ffs he  done a tremendous job at Hull City .

Another barmpot ownership at Hull City .

[Danmckay456]

He was backed by the owners and S**T on us to a local team so no sympathy from me.

[idler]

He won’t be unemployed for long. He did a good job for us and then left us in the lurch but he’s history.
We need to move on and concentrate on the here and now.

I agree.. was a great manager at Rovers. Should have tried harder to keep him.

[tyke1962]

We need to move on and concentrate on the here and now.

I'd have him at Oakwell next season in league one all day long .

Hopefully that will happen when we too are under new ownership next season .

[karldew]

I loved him as our manager and (maybe on my own here) wouldn’t actually mind him back one day. Maybe a bit of ‘Fergie at Posh’ vibe about him.

Can’t see anything but him being the next Sheff Wed manager, and probably pretty soon.

[Red wizard]

I wouldn't mind him back.

[Sammy Chung was King]

The thing is if he hadn’t produced the results, our board though a patient one would have sacked him. He just happened to have done a good job upto then. It didn’t smell great the way he left ,but sometimes these things just happen.

 He was joining a side higher than us with a greater crowd potential, plus better wages, better chance of being successful because of the funding available. I understand it but though he could have left with a bit more class than he did.

[eastender]

Sh#thouse No Sympathy here.

[PDX_Rover]

He didn’t practice what he preached in the end about loyalty but the time with Rovers was great to watch. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

[ChrisBx]

Very, very good manager. I wouldn't want him back here due to his previous, however I fully expect him to get picked up by a decent club fairly soon.

[RoversAlias]

I was annoyed at McCann and wanted him to fail at Hull for ages after his departure from Rovers.

In truth, he hasn't succeeded there. They're no better off than when he came in and the relegation two years ago was pathetic. But he got them back up and they've been getting better results of late, they were decent against Everton in the FA Cup when I watched them the other week.

He might be better off away from there. The new owner doesn't scream "reliable and trustworthy" to me.

Be careful what you wish for, springs to mind.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Never had a problem with Mcann, or Moore for that matter, in wanting to manage at the highest level possible, so when you're head hunted by higher placed clubs and remunerated accordingly, then fair dos, that's ambition.

My only beef with Moore was the timing of the whole thing.

I believe McCanns reference to loyalty was aimed at Danny Andrew who seemed content to jump ship to a team in the same division instead of being ambitious and wanting to play at the highest level possible by having another crack at promotion with us.

[Chris Black come back]

I think McCann has more about him than Moore. I was surprised how detached and distant Moore was as a manager. Didn’t seem to be any bond with the players or any obvious desire. I just cannot imagine what his team talks were like. Still a total mystery what he is all about as a manager.

[roversdude]

The football we played under GM was the best for a long time. Wouldn’t want him back though. Probably be back at Peterborough soon

[Michael Shaw]

McCann was a good manager and gave us some exciting football. He worked well and motivated the players. He made the best decision for himself, although I fully understand the resentment towards him from Rovers fans.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Wouldn't it be funny if Moore gets replaced by McCann!?
