[Archived] Bowyer Sacked

[chaddyrovers]

hahahaha sorry only comment chaddy....not like you to back whatever the establishment do.

Yet again Abbey you jump in before reading MY COMMENTS from Saturday from here.

I said on Saturday It was time for a change and I was bored at the game on Saturday.

read the forum before slagging me off

[perthblue02]

I also notice that Rovers havent announced a Caretaker manager so it must be close to appoint a manager

Or Damien Johnson is going to be busy at training

[Ricky]

Lambert would do nicely for me. Moyes even better but Lambert would be a great choice too.

[LDRover]

I wonder if the 'fans under their stones' comment was a contributory factor to the decision

[Dunnfc]

Tim Sherwood with Souness as director of football!

[Gav]

Well well well, it's the first considered footballing decision they've made since they' arrived at the club.

Sacked Bowyer and all his staff in international week, that's a proper footballing decision, well done Venkys, it's only taken 5yrs and £120m!

What next? Appointing experience? Surely not....

Chaddy did seem to change his tune once the rumours were stirring about Jokanovic.

I guarantee had Venky's publicly backed Bowyer he would've flip-flopped again.

[RevidgeBlue]

Hope someone is lined up otherwise there's barely anyone left to take training and/or stand in the dugout next game.

You also said he'd get your full backing if he remained as manager. You can't have it both ways.

[rhodie]

Wouldn`t be too surprised with this lot, it`ll be Kean all over again.

[mustard]

I'm quietly optimistic for the future.

If we appoint a proven manager, it will give a boost to the club and the fans.

If we appoint a dud, at least the fans can unite against the Venky's, like back in the days of the protests.

Every which way but loose.

[AdamRochina]

I can't stand lambert personally, I hope we go for Pearson or sherwood

[rovers11]

Finally, a bit of ambition from the owners. Bowyer has done a very good job but he doesn't have the nous to take us any further.

Moyes would be the dream, Lambert would be excellent too.

[Mike Graham]

Just heard that numb nuts has been sacked.

About time......good riddance.

[perthblue02]

Or somebody reminded Desai it was coming up to the fifth anniversary of their reign of terror , and she suddenly remembered she owns a football club.

my point exactly

[Tardyrover]

Sherwood? Not for me!

[LDRover]

Every which way but loose.

"About turn Clyde"

[mustard]

Come on guys. Be nice to chaddy. He might have been behind Bowyer, but after hearing rumours of us linked to the likes of Jokanovic, you can't blame him for wanting that. He's only human after all.

Just think, a good appointment that everyone's happy with and the messageboard will be united. Soon Abbey and Chaddy will be hand-in-hand on the terraces singing kumbaya...

[DE.]

Such a shame it took this long to remove Bowyer. In fact, even more of a shame he was appointed in the first place. Did a fantastic job as caretaker, but a proper manager may have already taken the team back up. I suppose we just have to hope it isn't already too late.

[Baz]

Just need to remove Shaw now...

John Williams and Moyes/Lambert for me.

[Mike Graham]

GB took us backwards.

Should have been potted yonks ago.

Just need to remove Shaw now...

John Williams and Moyes/Lambert for me.

Exactly young Barry.

I wonder what Pittard and his mates have to say?

Probably crying in his pint.

[patrickvalery]

I won't try to argue the club was doing well enough for this to be considered a bad decision. But I liked Bowyer and I thank him wholeheartedly for bringing back a little decency to the club. It's a game of fine margins and really good managers make calls which swing those fine margins in their favour. Unfortunately the hard luck stories Bowyer used were all too common and there's only so much of it you can accept.

I wish him every success in the future and I sincerely hope he gets the reception he deserves if and when he ever manages at Ewood again.

Good luck Gary and thank you for showing what I consider to be genuine care for the club.
