The problem Rev is that he should have gone after the Barnsley game.  The fact that he is still here suggests that he won't be removed until the summer at the earliest.  I'm not convinced that anyone could turn this around now but Coyle certainly can't on what we have seen thus far.  It's a very narrow path to survival now - the next four League games - Burton, Derby, Wigan and Cardiff will surely decide our fate.  From those games we need nothing less than ten points and we must beat Burton and Wigan.  Sadly, it would appear Senior is in charge of everything but has no power to do anything.  Once we are back in the Third Division it will be a long road back no matter who owns the club and as the present clowns seem intent on staying we may well fall into the bottom division for the first time in our history.

Unfortunately PB you're absolutely correct.. In all honesty I can only see us getting 6 points or possible 7 being over optimistic and has you say 6 of those points have to come from Burton and wigan. 

I know we're still in the mix but it's getting harder week by week tbh us wigan and Rotherham have virtually been bottom three all season and the table does not lie we're the three whom currently deserve to be relegated 

I can also see us falling into the bottom division and it won't be pretty

To be honest i think coyle has done much better than expected, no way did i think we would have 29 points at this stage of the season and only be within 3 points of safety when he was first appointed, i expected us to be where Rotherham are.

I remember a few people having a go at me in the Coyle thread back in the summer for saying I would not give Coyle a chance. Pretty much the same people who are now saying we can still stay up, despite having only spent 17 days of this season out of the relegation zone. Come on. If you don't want to join the real world then that's fine, I understand, but don't try to convince me that water isn't wet.

Aye - we were down the second our lovely 'partners' hired the outstanding candidate Coyle over the tried and tested Warnock. There was no reason to have any faith in him whatsoever. A serial motormouthed loser with one fluke season on his CV.

It was all so predictable. Even with a good squad I wouldn't have trusted Coyle to keep us up, but a squad like ours? Not a chance of staying up. We needed a manager who can squeeze every drop of effort out of very limited players, combined with shrewd tactical knowledge and the know-how to make the right changes in tactics and players during the match.

Instead we got this absolute joker. A bloke who couldn't cut it in the United States. A guy who was kicked out of Wigan after less than six months. A total chancer who genuinely attempted to bring Giles Barnes to the club in January. There is no hope as long as this utter dunce is at the helm, and no hope as long as Venky's and/or the unnamed agency continue to suck the club's corpse dry.

The trouble is, we all knew he would relegate us but some folk said "give him a chance".

A chance to prove he would relegate us!! Let that sink in.

At what point are we allowed a degree of intellect and experience to say "this is the wrong thing to do - he doesn't deserve a chance"? Without idiots saying "we can't judge ABC until XYZ"??

Next time? The time after that? Or the time after that?

It would be good if we could, just ocne, BEFORE people start talking about the power of hindsight like it's the most impossible thing in the world to predict, be allowed judge another wrong decision detrimental to BRFC.

No more effing chances.

The problem is tho Stuart that everyone on here said he was the poor choice in the first place. But Balaji made that decision and didn't appoint the right man. But its alright moaning on a messageboard isn't it but has no impact on the decision making process.

Very correct there. With Senior coming in it appears that Coyle isn't happy at Rovers and with Senior being his boss.

He should have gone after Barnsley away game.

Judge away. Then what? Is everyone agreeing he's shyte going to make our owners sack him? If not then what is the point in being 'right'? Just so you can say you called it at the start? 

Exactly we are fans and we can not make the owners sack him.

Just now, michaelscarn said:

Coyle needs to leave whatever happens now till the end of the season.

I think Senior is pushing for Coyle to be sack and bring in his own manager/head coach but for some reason Coyle hasn't been sack yet. hopefully he gone after Tomorrow game

Even the most optimistic of Rovers' fans can surely acknowledge that we're goosed this season.

Never mind. It's all cyclical. In another 20 to 30 years we'll have found another Jack and we will be back in our rightful place in the Premiership.

I won't be alive of course but the thought keeps me going......

You are correct, chaddy, it requires actual action. In real life. Something you have already said you will not do. So your opinion is moot.

It's not about being right but folk like you need to stop telling people they are wrong (when they aren't) as some kind of moral high ground, and as a means to shout people down and divide the fan base.

The next decision they take could be crucial to the future of this club. If it's the wrong one, the fans need to unite, get off their backsides and act.

People need to learn (they haven't up to yet) and not say "give em a chance FFS".

Folk like me?! Arrogant twonk. What folk like you need to realise is that other folk have differing opinions to folk like you and that maybe folk like you need to grow up and accept that.

So is yours as you've done the square route of nowt. You won't boycott so stop criticising others for what you won't do yourself. You're just dividing the fanbase.

Yep, you've got nothing. A lot of piss and wind on a MB, having a pop here and there, but won't even boycott. 

Crack on 'flower'

My opinion is moot? Oh really. Didnt know you were judge and jury on what I posted and not. 

Or your opinion does matter then? 

Lets not forget your summer stance telling everyone to Boycott whilst you renewed your ST ticket..double standards yet again. 

What has your action actually done? Have You forced Venkys out? Has even Venkys even notice about the boycott? Venkys are no closer to leaving as they were 2 years ago IMO. Venkys will go when they decide to go. They dont care about fans or our opinions.
