Any source other than Hope confirming this?

Grahame Bailey from HITC tweeted it too. Another north eastern based journalist, used to be Boro Gazette.

Sounds like they'll have a meeting to discuss a mutual termination and then he'll be off. God knows who we'll get to take the position. 

[callumrovers]

He’s 100% gone.

Gary Rowett come on down

[ben_the_beast]

Who on earth are we going to bring in now. The club is a laughing stock. Our reputation is in the absolute gutter. We'll only attract incompetent chancers. 

This is literally the worst time in recent years for the us to be filling what is one of the most critical positions at the club.

I think it's fair to say Coyle had an arguably better squad with the likes of Graham, Mulgrew, Conway and a hungrier Sam Gallagher. Not that it was any good back then but the point is we had more capable individuals.

I was looking at our current squad and our squad that got relegated and I think that our current squad is poorer than the one that went down. I'm really not sure what people expect with the current squad it is a poor squad.

For what it’s worth the telegraph now saying it’s expected that he’ll leave before the weekend

The mistake is the second administrative error for a January deadline day addition in the last 12 months after Lewis O'Brien's failed move in 2023. 

Not quite, it's actually the third with Ethan Brierley factored in.

That would be sensible in our position. Stop conceding soft goals.

So won't happen.

[jim mk2]

And for the about the third occasion the timing is wrong to get Neil Warnock in and sort out the mess, this time by a matter of days. 

[Tom]

If I was JDT I’d be doing what I can to ensure I’m leaving the club. Whilst he was great last season and could be a great manager he’s actually failing a bit at his current task. 

The current circus is a great foil for him to escape before he’s wearing clown makeup himself.

He leaves now he can continue his career, give it much longer and he risks leaving as a perceived failure

[JHRover]

I hope he releases a statement via the LMA containing all the sordid details of what has gone on here.

And I hope he's considering a claim for constructive dismissal and takes them to the cleaners.

It appears to me , the loons are trying to acquire a new manager then they will announce both ..

 I won't hold my breath !

I doubt he'd ever consider it after the way they messed him around in 2016.

Stinks of more like Alex Neil or Garry Monk I'd say. At best....

[rovers11]

I know the people running the club are dreadful but one win in 11 league matches and five points from our last 33 available is absolutely dire. The goals against column is truly awful as well. 

He needs to go and he will do within the next 24 hours. Writing was on the wall last week when he was banned from speaking the the media.

 

[oldjamfan1]

If true, I'd be going after John Eustace if available.

I would say more like about 10 years 

[Tim Southampton Rover]

You can already predict what will happen. They'll get rid of a few people including JDT and then start talking about a fresh start.

The pathetic thing about it is that a fresh start will never happen unless Venkys and friends f*** off! 

[Tim Southampton Rover]

They'll probably bring back Big Sam.

When was Mowbray appointed about now early Feb ?

Late Feb, so unless they recruit from within I reckon it'll be a repeat.

Has to be the number one choice.

Yep, all part of making out that our failings are the responsibility of JDT and that we are a normal club acting to address that.

It's a con job orchestrated by those upstairs to keep the focus downstairs 

[alex l]

No room for sentiment but would have been nice for him to be in place for the fa cup game v Newcastle

Warnock already has a job.

Took over at Aberdeen a few days back.

Gary Rowett or John Eustace, one of those 2, surely?

Hope he doesn't sign the NDA

They’ll probably fill it out wrong or send it to Ricky Tomlinson……..
