Are you OK? Do you need an intervention?

[DRCraig]

With respect I think you need a reality check.

[sedwardsdrfc]

Anything other than blind faith making you say this?

[dickos1]

He’s been in charge for less than 4 months, taken over a side in atrocious form.
Sacking him would be ridiculous

[Alan Southstand]

But not as ridiculous as getting rid!

No one ever gives a reason that GM has given for not sacking him I.e. he has improved x or y. The only reason I’ve heard is that he we were poor at the start of the season so that’s all we’ll ever be and that it’s too soon.

RW was sacked after half a season and a transfer window. GM has had the same minus the preseason. Admittedly we were in poor form but there is nothing to suggest he’s going to get us playing with a summer.

Got to be decisive can’t just hope someone who hasn’t been able to organise a team and get us playing can suddenly do it. It’s too much of a risk for my liking I’d rather take the lesser risk of a new manager

[ChrisBx]

I hope you're right but there's currently no evidence to back you up.

There’s been lots of reasons given,

[Daniel_Smith]

RugbyRover?

Got it - this is obviously Blunt. Nice try 

[ditch_drfc]

The guy made 8 signings in January. He doesn't have any excuses. Completely out of his depth.

It would the kind thing to do !

[Arsenal Of The North]

He’s going to be here next season regardless of what most want on here. So the sooner we get to grips with that the better for all to move on/forward.

Personally I think he has 10/15 games next season which will make or break his managerial career. If it doesn’t go well then there will need to be a drastic change of direction to save a season we must do well in

[Red wizard]

How anyone can say they think he's the right person to to build our next squad after what we have witnessed thus far is beyond me.

[normal rules]

There was more than him behind these signings. Much more.
Perhaps a look at those responsible for recruitment wouldn’t go amiss?

[roversdude]

Our Jan signings weren’t too bad with the exception of the strange Agard one (not that he’s a bad player but just wasn’t used). The timing of the signings was strange maybe we weren’t aggressive enough.
GMc is right in regards to the fitness definite improvement there.
My worry is he doesn’t seem to know how to set up a team from the start, yesterday for example in a must win game we start with one up top. I’m afraid I’ve got splinters in my arse sitting on the fence

Absolutely have a look at everyone responsible. But ultimately the manager needs to shoulder the responsibility here. He's the first to talk about accountability in his interviews but strangely doesn't think that applies to him.

Look, GM isn't the only reason we're in this mess. But I don't see anything to convince me we should keep him. Let's get an actual football manager in please, someone who isn't learning on the job.

[Goole Rover]

Give him the opportunity to run his own ship, lets see how it goes then the board should make their decision.

[normal rules]

He has a 12 month rolling contract till at least dec 2022. So he will get a half season to prove his worth. The knives will be out of course way, way before then if rovers struggle next year.
No excuses next season. He has close season to get rid of the dead wood and bring in players he thinks will form his preferred squad. He has a handful of players already he will be happy to work with.
Strikers have to be key here. And let’s be frank. We have none currently.

[ravenrover]

Sorry NR he has 12 month rolling contract until, as of today,  18th April 2023. It is a continual moving daily 12 months.  So he will have the whole of next season virtually. Unless of course he was given notice that his contract will not be re newed come next Dec

Oh, I stand corrected.
He certainly won’t be going Anywhere then. Unless of course we struggle again next season and are rock bottom come Xmas.

[wing commander]

  I'm sorry but regardless of his contract he simple has to go..The guy's interviews are awful and if thats how he comes across to his players then there's no wonder the team show absolutely no fight or passion . However the main reason he simply cant be allowed to run the team next season is his tactical naivety.

We start every game terribly and it doesn't matter who we are playing we just get outplayed and are a behind before he starts to get to grips with it, the preperation for games has to be shocking. Yes there are a lot of people who have a lot to answer for Blunt,Baldwin being the main two for how they managed the budget and there terrible appointments but until a white knight comes riding in then there is nothing we can do about them but we need a lot better manager than GM next season thats for sure.

[dickos1]

Surely we’ve realised how good their interviews are is irrelevent.
Sod gave bad interviews but was a genius, dickov gave good interviews but was poor.

[Sammy Chung was King]

We needed more experience in January, we got mostly kids. That is one of the reasons we haven’t had a consistent run of good results. We’ve lacked a hard core at the back. We need a proper experienced centre back to play alongside Olowu.
We needed an experienced goalkeeper, we still do. We needed goals from midfield, really Tommy Rowe is the only one who has produced from there.

The manager needed to pick Griffiths and Odubeko up front together, he has preferred to pick only one, the reason being he has tried to have an extra midfielder in there to protect the defence. If we had recruited experienced players he wouldn’t have needed to do that. The budget he was given has been the killer in our fortune’s.

[roversdude]

Sammy what was the budget he was given. Surely can’t get more experienced than Agard and Clayton. We did need an experienced Left Back although reading what Frank Rennie put Jackson was great for them

[Sammy Chung was King]

I don’t know the budget he was given but you can see from what he brought in it wasn’t big. Experienced free transfers and young kids on loan.

[OurAlfsLad]

He was a complete novice when he took on a very tough job.  I think he has learned a lot since then an is the best man to take us forward.

We did it’s called “A Ship wreck ” and it’s sinking fast !!

[pigeonhole]

Those experienced free transfers and young kids on loan playing for free, are they?  8 players' wages is a heck of an investment
