It's been awful ever since Nick Higgs decided that we could buy in talent rather than use our scouts and youth system. It's as simple as that really. KP, that decision was made long before Higgs ever set foot in Box 1. Really ? I would love to know more. Honestly, if this is true and IT wasn't NH who implemented it then I would apologise to him. Whenever I have had the chance to talk to him, he has never said anything to deny it. If you can then please let me know by private message or I can give you my email.

Those quotes say more about the ignorance about the Rovers situation from said posters than anything worthwhile. They are angry from years of mismanagement from the top to bottom and had their scapegoat at the ready. IMO. It would have been interesting that if Darrel Clarke did go at the end of last season and new manager, Mr `really experienced` X came in and we were near the bottom of the table/mid table at Christmas, would these people have said the same? Its all hypothetical I know. But why is everything such a quick fix with some people? rebuilding a club in dire straits (money for nothing!) takes years not months. They would find some other excuse as to why the new manager didn't work out. Lazy, or past it, or couldn't be bothered to move etc.
This modern belief that everything that goes on at a football club is down to the manager is now so ingrained as to become like a cult. The cult of the manager, its been called. Obviously people find it difficult to change their beliefs, and will find any evidence to confirm them, ignoring evidence to the contrary - confirmation bias.

If we go up then we should keep Clarke, in fact we should keep him anyway, he seems to know what he is doing

If you drop far enough, you are bound to win a few more games.
It's crazy we found ourselves here with our gates and the FFP in place 'helping' us.
The question is how would this team do in L2, let hope we find out!
