With no football now for months let’s revisit as to who is considered the best Gas Manager of all time. We had a stab at it recently and I accept, it was a tad to early to just compare current managers DC and JB and did not acknowledge previous managers who accomplished good things for the gas .
Obviously, the forum is made up of a cross section of ages so up to four of the managers wont be known to our younger posters.
So with this in mind I will apply a version of crickets duckworthless method with a sliding scale percentage adjustment depending on how long ago these managers done the business thus to compensate them, as they will not be getting the any of the younger votes
This will be known as the madeupbulls**t method and votes will be counted with what’s known as the Supplementary Vote and will run until one of the managers gets over 50% You will have two votes. With the lowest scoring candidates being eliminated and so on until we have a outright winner.
UTG
**Please note Bert Tann will be added to the list of candidates following the first round of voting and the 3 managers with the lowest vote total will be removed from the list of candidates for round 2**

Yep I should have included Bert Tann - Oldie you are on the money, Iam bored and with 3 months to kill.before we have a promotion push to the Championship I have resorted to bulls**te poll when we know it’s a two horse between DC and JB.
I have watched the Gas for over fifty years and for me, by a country mile JB and his team are the best ever to Don the blue and white quarters.
Iam actually beating the bookies, it’s a bit like having inside knowledge such has been the been .the predictability of the impossible. JB felt that Northampton were going to win, so it will come down to goals, minimum of 6 goals needed , therefore I covered 6-0 7-0 8-0 which in any normal circumstances would be fanciful. Having every confidence in JB and his team the impossible becomes a ‘walk in the park’
Maybe I will go on a cruise. I always fancied doing that or maybe a couple of weeks in Vietnam UTG

It's not the be all and end all is it...we got promoted from L2, albeit in very dramatic circumstances, but it's hardly earth shattering. As good as the team that beat the Busby Babes 4-0, were a Geoff Bradford injury from getting promoted the old 1st Division? No. We have had half a season of very decent football after 2-3 years of dross. Let's see what happens in August onwards. If B***** maintains the standard then in I will join you in your accolades. Let's enjoy the moment, but not get silly. |

Plus it was a whole division higher than any of DC or JB (or PT, who also got us in the FA Cup quarter finals) have achieved. |

Regular at Eastville and Twerton albeit the norm would be through a drunken haze. Which was vital because the football and results served up over that period were not great. Bottom end of the Division 2 for a few years and a Watney Cup is all we had to show.The amount of away games we went to with no expectation of winning. This is the first time in over 50 years that I can go to match’s be entertained and expect to win home or away. It will interesting to see what happens to the season ticket sales with the Sheffield Weds, Derby, Portsmouth etc on the menu…… |

Interesting, the one manager to get us into the second tier and make a real challenge for promotion in that league isn’t on the list. Bert Tann. 🤔
I understand why you haven’t but it’s worth saying.
UTG!
ps. Sorry One F, just seen you’ve raised the same point. And he kept us there for longer than anyone else.

When the first round of voting is complete , the bottom three will drop out and Bert Tann will be included in the second round.
It now seems like there are 4 genuine contenders and not just two obvious ones UTG

I would say Joey has delivered one of the most memorable gas occasions ever. It's currently going 'viral' on TikTok and even made the state news down here. Rovers' marketing team should take this as an opportunity to grow a brand.

GF as literally had nothing in terms of budget to work with in a stadium and training ground we didn't own. Absolute alchemy!
Legend first time round.
Disaster after.
