[Archived] Bowyer Most Likely Not Sacked

[DE.]

Wales Online reporting he's been sacked http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/russell-slade-slams-cardiff-city-9911282

I'd guess they are going off the Sun report... and the Sun are going to look more than silly if this turns out to be a false alarm.

Glen Mullan similar to Kamy. Reads news and reports it to pretend he is ITK. Someone has to say it. Both nice guys though :-)

[T J Hooker]

my guess would be that shaw(or the uk based contingent of the brfc board) has told him he's fired, but as usual nothing is concrete until venkys sign of on it, which can take ages or just result in shaw or the entre board losing their jobs and gb keeping his.

Someone at the FF needs to get a grip of the media strategy:

@roversfansforum: If Gary Bowyer had been sacked it would have been reported by the club. Until that point he is our manager #rovers #BRFC

Presumably there are several people posting on the same account?

Especially odd considering they were reporting it as fact

The beauty of the Internet news age is that all of these reports will be removed or edited if it ends up not true.

Lets just let bowyer drag us down to league 1, recriminations later

Didn't Kean emerge with a new 3 year contract after one of the 'Kean Sacked' false alarms?

I get the impression it's something to do with our dysfunctional hierarchy as well. Shaw may have decided he wants GB out and leaked it to somebody at the Sun, possibly to ramp up pressure? But hasn't yet got it signed off by Venky's and hasn't told Bowyer anything about it.

Pure speculation on my part, but again, it seems very odd for any publication, even a red-top, to put their @#/? on the table in such a manner unless they're pretty sure about the story being true.

@glen9mullan: At present im hearing that rovers poor start to the season is being reviewed but NO decision on Bowyer has been made and reports not true

I do recall Glen gave us info when we bought Yakubu and a few others. He certainly has info that has proven to be correct.

[Blackpool_Rover]

I think it's someone causing mischief from within the club. Getting the ball rolling and putting him under more pressure. For what it's worth I don't think we will be relegated under Bowyer but I want him gone.

Venkys just sending out a serious warning to bowyer to get his act together.....bet his not sacked n bet we now win at Bolton followed by draws and defeats and eventual sacking probably end of next month!

Thread closed, reopened in summer of 2019

[perthblue02]

Glenn Mullan saying Bowyer hasn't been told he's lost his job as of right now.

That's because Venky's can't find anybody to deliver the letter,

[ABBEY]

i just said same to my dog and she wuffed .Daddy would you deny having me like kean did ?

[Lancs Rover]

Seems strange that literally nobody beyond the Sun is reporting this yet. Begs the question of where the Sun got its information from.

News outlets get this kind of thing wrong all the time so I doubt they'd be too upset if Gary is still there tomorrow. Part of the trade. But they don't tend to make this kind of thing up out of nothing.

Something has gone on that's been reported as a sacking.

I tend to think this is how it will go just a bit longer dragged out

Fax machine broken again?

[T J Hooker]

just for a little perspective, its only been just over an hour since the story broke, realistically its probably to soon to here anything official back from the club either way, it is saturday night.

[had.e.nuff]

lets hope Mrs D reads it and thinks its a good idea

It's just strange how they've phrased it so definitely. Normally there's at least some kind of wording to suggest it isn't a final decision, but not so in this story.

[adopted scouser]

Shock, Venkys get something right.

News at eleven.

If that is the case then the person behind it needs sacking, didn't Kamy hint the other day at somebody at Ewood being up to mischief

Hi Derek!

[Stuart]

Who changed the thread title? You could have just stuck a question mark at the end!!

@glen9mullan: At present im hearing that rovers poor start to the season is being reviewed but NO decision on Bowyer has been made and reports not true

I mean, what does that even mean 'reviewed'?

"Ahh he's not started well, let's see how much sh*tter he can be?"
