I'm happy with an appointment finally. I don't know the guy as much as others but glad we have a head coach now. I'm hoping he will be better than our interim guys as he is more experienced. He knows the championship and is a known manager not a completely unknown randomer that we could have ended up with. If he gets us into play offs great. If he doesnt then that is likely on him Come on rovers

Jheez a bus from Lancashire to Swansea on match day morning. That's outrageous. Wouldn't surprise me though with this lot in charge

Yeh agreed. He has been awful recently. Pears really needs good cover in front of him. Without it he is so easy to get past

Pears?! He's more like a plumb. What is he doing

DL made "tweaks " in training this week. FFS. Why. Just keep the same players and plan it did you good for two games

He had Batth to protect him for most of the season. He's now being exposed yet again. It's so frustrating

I wouldn't be surprised if they do that anyway. They don't give a cr*p

I started reading the comments of the LT article on Karanka Tbf not as bad as thought Saw this one below and I gotta agree some what. It's a poisoned chalice. New manager doesn't guarantee we got top 6 which could be horrible but equally neither could sticking with the same regime. It's an awful situation these clowns have got us in yet again Lieutenant Colonel 6 hrs ago User ID: 330432 If you was a manager looking for new work would you take the job now or take it at the end of the season. As sure as eggs are eggs it’s just a win lose situation with no in between at all. If they come in now and fail play offs all of us will be moaning and saying we should have stuck with what we had but more importantly from their perspective their reputation is on a hiding to nothing when we are in the ply offs. We will all only say we should have kept with DL. Obviously if they get us to the play offs then that is different again but as a new manager I think I would be looking at season end perhaps as it’s a mass responsibility on their shoulders. The good old saying is don’t upset the apple cart and change things that ain’t broken. I honestly don’t think there is a right or wrong solution here.

Excellent article mate! Great work

I wonder the same Interesting quotes today in LT In a previously unseen interview with the Icelandic press, Sigurdsson hit out at Rovers' treatment prior to leaving the club. In the aftermath of the decision to leave him out of the squad, he revealed his anger towards the decision. "First of all, I just think it's dishonest with the club, the way they do this," Sigurdsson said. "I've always been a professional in this, always given my all for the club, but then they decide to do it like this. Wait for the transfer window to close and then tell me this. "They put me in an impossible position. My contract was expiring after the season and I've been injured. It's maybe easy to throw someone away when you're not going to renegotiate. "Both the coach and the club's management had spoken to me and told me how important I would be to the team for these last few games in the fight for a playoff spot in the league. That I could make the difference. But then you get this in your face"

Speaking of which. Any update on who the new manager is? Wonder if he will be in the terraces watching over us and claiming his first victory like JE did last year

Exactly !

Not sure what your problem is pal

Yep! They are just keeping us waiting. We are the last to be told what's going on. Shocking Comms from the club since then lot took over.
