Thanks Gary but the time was now.

Wish him nothing but the best of luck but it had run its course.

Interesting time ahead.

[broadsword]

Right, good, gone.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

[G Somerset Rover]

Bloody glad his backtoom staff have gone too. Only one I would have kept is Damien Johnson.

Thanks for your efforts Gary. The next appointment is just so so critical

[Ossydave]

A case of be careful what you wish for I think

Great news if they appoint the right man. Never underestimate their ability to make a bad situation worse though?

[Kie_BRFC]

Happy he's gone, but gonna take 3 months to appoint someone. And with our record it will be a shocking appointment, so I'm very sceptical

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

A good decision at last

[Tom]

There are some good options out there at the moment, really is time for Shaw to earn his keep.

Unforgivable if we get a dud given the potential.

I reckon it will be someone cheap like Chris Powell but hope they go for it.

[DE.]

Wow, can't believe that. Honestly thought we'd be stuck with him for a long time. Get the feeling this is a surprise for him too.

Thanks for your efforts, Gary. I firmly believe you did your best, even though ultimately it wasn't enough.

[chaddyrovers]

Terry McPhilips, Craig Short, Tony Grant, John Keeley all gone.

Rovers must have someone line up if all back room staff have gone.

Johnson kept on

[Doug]

PLEASE lets get the next appointment right!

Must have experience!!!!

All back room gone - somebody already approached and want to bring their own team in???

[chaddyrovers]

I would just like to say Thanks to Gary and His staff for the good work at Rovers but it was time to move on.

Hope they all have good careers in the future.

[Amo]

I hope against hope that they've already got someone lined up (Jokanovic? ...Moyes!?) to take advantage of the international break. More than likely we'll have another daffy appointment, but most of us have got what we asked for, so let's see what happens next.

[davulsukur]

Craziness, to think I was working away totally oblivious to this!

Massive appointment next, are our owners actually starting to give a s##t?

He needed to go, no question there.

Let's all get ready to welcome Judan Ali!

[K-Hod]

The next decision is much more important than the one to remove Bowyer.

Thanks for your initial efforts Gary, but your time had been up for a while in reality...

[perthblue02]

Terry McPhilips, Craig Short, Tony Grant, John Keeley all gone.

Rovers must have someone line up if all back room staff have gone.

Johnson kept on

Certainly sounds as if somebody as been sounded out and will only come if they can bring their own back room

[DE.]

I guess Shebby doesn't know as much as he thinks. Maybe he's not as close to the owners as I thought.

Wonder what Kamy makes of this? Somebody must have convinced Desai that enough was enough.

[imy9]

Wow.cannot believe Venky's have made a decision.

Would like to place on record my thanks to Bowyer for his efforts. That cannot be questioned, his ability ultimately let him down.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Appreciate your efforts Bowyer but we were going backwards...your time was up.

Roll that dice Venkys....GULP!

[mac]

certainly goes agianst what Kamy hasa been saying
