Grant mccann...
« on December 20, 2025, 04:50:25 pm by DollyRover »
This now stands squarely at his feet. He can not arrange a team to fight. He would probably be great for a team at the top end of the table but we are so exposed at the back. Every mistake is punished because of a lack of covee

He will be looking over his shoulder now. No doubt.
Awful recruitment, awful form, awful performance.
Shocking

First 10 minutes we looked really good. One silly mistake, it happens  but the team should pick up where they left off. The team he assembled in the summer is largely on the bench and he has us that open against lets be honest, an awful plymouth team. Hes done now for me, could well be sucesful where he goes next but we need new leadership

We could easily lose our next three. Surely if we do he doesn’t survive that

Rovers can’t afford to off GM. It would cost money we don’t have . And then who to replace with? He has the Jan window to turn things round .

Im not advocating him being sacked, but if i was Terry or Gavin, id be asking questions now.

Simply not good enough.

If your Terry why give him more money for players who will sit on the bench. That’s what he’s done so far.

It’s a hard one and I might feel different later but if you let him have Jan it’s very hard to change after

We’re so easy to play against. Soft in the middle, lots of width but slow to get balls in the box. Everything for them was literally straight through the middle. Grant knows one formation and that’s it. His recruitment has been shocking, and he hasn’t got a clue how to change a game. Broadbent looked like his boots were on the wrong foot while they danced through us - let’s give him 75 mins!

Time to go for me. Today was inexcusable. We’re second from bottom at Christmas. Not good enough at all. I don’t care who we get in, this isn’t working in this league.

This as an alternative is not going to be cheap. For what its worth, i think mccann is a great manager...if your near the top of the league, question is, is it cheaper to give grant the squas he needs for top of the league and hope it pays off or accept our place and get a manager who can make us more solid and keep us in the league

A good idea but a big risk all round for him to take the position, could knock him badly as well as the club if it failed. Has he wanted or been given extra responsibilities to date?

Why on earth would you give that team more money to spend? Pearson and Middleton on the bench and 5 loanees nowhere near the squad.

I wouldn't be giving them a penny. Time is up.

If it gets him off the pitch. Then yes. That solely is the only reason

What is curious about team spirit and McCann’s leadership is that when we do put in a good performance (like last week at Cardiff) McCann seems to fail to use it to inspire a follow up. Building on good performances is fundamental tool in motivation and the current management has repeatedly failed to carry momentum into the next match.

He needs to be brought into that boardroom and be honest to a chairman that backed him

It wasn't long ago in an interview he said he was being to loyal to players and it has to change ????

Hes been to bloody loyal all season that bench today was stronger than on the pitch close has to start as does Pearson

I thought Cardiff was our best game but loosing is habit forming and these players addicted now !!

Look back in this forum last Oct/Nov/Dec.

Year before in the Feb.

Same f**king divvies calling for McCanns head then and both times we recruited well in Jan and turned the seasons around.

Playoffs one year, champions the next year and people dont think he has enough in the bank to be given more than 3months in the league he got us promoted to?

Honestly the moronic view of multiple on here blows my mind.

We won't get any better than him working within the restrictions he has financially.

One of the lowest budgets in the league with no money to spend to bring players in. This is not L2. Players are bought and sold in the £millions.

The budget has been set where the owner agrees to set it and unless we massively outperform that budget the team will be in and around a relegation battle. Im fine with it.

What's the point in asking a question like that? None of us on here know for sure. But based on our signings in the summer and the business almost every other team did either our budget was one of the lowest or there has been a war chest saved for January.

I'd much rather we didn't but he has more credit in the bank than 3months for me.

Prognosis.
I think we all know the problem. We need to know about the future outcome
