What an inspired signing Dennis is proving to be.

I’ve no doubt we’ve put off managers who we’ve interviewed, perhaps Wagner is one of them? - What are you doing about renewing contracts? - What kind of budget are we looking at in the summer should we stay in the championship? Two questions you would want answering which they couldn’t give ANY assurances on.

Are we appointing a regional sales manager or a manager of a championship football club? How this is all being played out only reaffirms the belief that we really are a circus off the pitch.

Think it’s time to turn in for the night!

Left ball chopped off > right ball chopped off.

Bang on. It’s appeased plenty of the Rovers fans on social media though, and clearly at least one on here.

I think Batth crucially important, not only for the side but for Hyam. Without him Dom is half the player.

Pretty sure they had Sunday and Monday off. Then I read that they had Thursday off too?! I mean WTF. Little wonder the tools were downed to an extent. Exactly the reason we needed a new man in ahead of this weekend. Less of the back patting and pally act.

If you don’t laugh you’ll cry.

I’m being deadly serious when I say that he must have the worst goals and assist return per minutes played for a forward player in the whole football league. His record really is that bad.

I won’t deny that. But I think they’ve been badly let down by those above them. Wont help that I’m pretty confident they’ve had three days off since our last game. The pally pally stuff was only going to last so long.

Absolutely seething with our club once again today. Fuming with Venky’s and shame on Waggott and Suhail once-a-fucking-gain. Our managerial situation should have been sorted days and days ago. An avoidable disastrous showing that is leaving a very bitter taste.

If Nixon has any kind of credible story whatsoever about who our next manager would be he would be sharing the news now, not hanging fire for 24 hours. Will just be more guff.

As a minimum you imagine it has to be someone very close to him with an axe to grind. Responding to articles that were posted in different languages etc.

Bristol City have a very tough run in - they have to play the top three yet, all away from home.

I’d be going for Gerrard too like CG, IF we are not taking the short-term approach (which I would personally be doing - e.g. a massive 6-month incentive for a guy like Dyche). Reason being I don’t think Gerrard would have to do much managing between now and the end of the season. Let Lowe and Johnson get on with the coaching and his presence and aura alone would be a huge shot in the arm for a bunch of Championship players. You’re seeing it with Lampard at Coventry. Gerrard’s involvement would also IMO push Venky’s closer to the exit door as we’d suddenly be remembered by the media.

A quick glance on Twitter shows he’s just done a press conference for his current side ahead of the weekend. Would likely rule him out given he’s not in london hob-nobbing with our motley crew.

The fact we’re even debating Karanka illustrates the true shit show that Venky’s have turned us into. We can only hope they pull a Eustace or JDT out of the bag because Karanka would be a horrific appointment. One blue nose commented on social media how Karanka made his bad bout of covid even worse during the pandemic.

As dumb as Waggott and Suhail are, surely they know it’s gonna be open season on them if it is Karanka and he starts poorly. Seems pretty unanimous across our fanbase that he’d be an appalling appointment.

That was ten years ago now; he’s had no success since then. The names seem to be getting worse by the hour. A high-incentive six month contract for a decent manager was always going to be wishful thinking with this lot.

Give him a break, he passed away over fifteen years ago!

Disappointment with a huge side of anger.

Always rated him. Plays a bit like Wharton in that deep midfield role. No need to be concerned though, we have Adam Forshaw.

PNE to win and that dirty biting see you next Tuesday to score is a license to print money. Someone needs to say it in Merce’s absence.

Classic Rovers (huge pinch of salt given it’s Nixon though): 19th: Rovers want O’Brien. 26th and one week closer to the deadline: Rovers still want O’Brien and have done bugger all about it.
