Six figures being £1234.56? that wouldn’t even cover his weekly wage. if you think of the amount of money in that period. Already in work, Cocko struck an agreement on what was owed. But then the garner team/ master plan was assembled, Garner paid off, Tisdale paid off, the master plan team wholly changed by B*****. All the money involved in that period, wasted? Could it have been put to better use? The only thing really wrong in terms of a solid team that wouldn’t go down was Lockyer and Craig leaving for nothing and not replaced. “Wanting to take things in a different direction” cost the club a whole heap of money. Meanwhile Wycombe enjoyed all the fun of a promotion season and season at tier 2 sticking with football the Ainsworth/cocko way. Take a look at these teams winning big matches for us in close succession www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50696305 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50356060 Did it clearly need ripping up? Does a club really need to recruit and pay wages only for the championship in mind, and switch to tiki taka football to enjoy all the fun of a promotion season and staying up in tier 2? Is that the proper way to manage a club, burning money? Since Clarke got us to 8th in 2018, Bristol Rovers owners have not owned the club very well at all. Back in Twerton days, we were bigger club than Swansea, Bournemouth, Luton, and many others settled in the top two tiers today. Good post up until the final paragraph which I find kind of oxymoronic.

Madness to offer him the job based on a few positive results, I would keep him as interim manager then give him until January to prove his worth.

Still don’t understand the Coughlan departure. Was there ever a logical explanation. Most of the time, even if you don’t agree, you can see a reason for getting rid or manager leaving but the Coughlan situation was odd to say the least.

Why do some of our so called fans many on here who don't even go and watch the team live criticise a win in a competition we can seriously get to a final at the national stadium. Memories of te final in Cardiff after the fantastic defeat of City was magnificent Winning ugly is fine by me It’s been said many times before by many supporters. For me, I am quietly angry rather than critical, but when we beat city and made it to Cardiff for the final, the EFL Trophy still had some semblance of a competition that meant something special. Over the years the FL eroded that, constantly changing the sponsor so it lost it’s identity, and changing the format. The addition of u21 clubs was the last nail in the coffin. Now it appears like a practice competition for prem club youth teams and just an injury risk for EFL teams who may well be better off without it given that they must also lose money hosting these poorly attended matches. Wembley or not, my heart isn’t in it.

Technically I could still be the closest if we win all remaining matches. Ah no I see the issue now, postponed game.

At least they have to play an extra game to get through. No team needs or wants that.

For once we have all of the possession and are scoring! Don’t know if significant but last two games we’ve reverted back to traditional 4-4-2, something we haven't played much since the start of the season as JB preferred 4-3-3.

This is a part of the South Stand how some may remember it? I think rain stops play... View AttachmentYes,you can just see the south stand bar on the right. No floodlight pylons so possibly late 40s early 50s ? Interesting, when did FL start playing evening matches? I naively thought they always did.

I was there yesterday and result aside Rovers played good, really good football. They all worked their socks off and it was a completely different looking side to the one I watched at Cambridge. The work and passing to beat the press, the energy and commitment was all there and at times was a joy to watch. Several chances in front of goal on another day would have won us the game. Just wasn’t to be. Yes there were a few mistakes but can’t fault them for giving 100%.

Please, someone just kill this thread, it’s embarrassing and doesn’t serve any purpose regarding BRFC.

So to get any further transfer news from the clubs manager we have to pay £4.92 and subscribe to his x channel, am I reading this correctly?
Balls to that.

It’s disgusting. BRFC should be ashamed and embarrassed. As a fan you honestly cannot ignore the hypocrisy and think this is a good move surely. Really struggling to support this club as it stands.

Wow! That is tough on the lad to say the least. You’ve not been selected to play for your country, we’re taking the captains armband and dropping you for Saturday. Jesus.
