When the New Brooms took over with promises of a new stadium etc,only Mr Wael is left it seems from those heady but pure fantasy days.

notification from Companies House that Michael Turner is no longer a director This could be very significant indeed. Taylor Wessing are a prestigious international law firm and Mike Turner is an experienced lawyer so I always felt having him on board was a steadying influence and the fact that he had stayed, even though the finances appear to be spinning out of control, gave some hope that there was actually a plan to prevent a catastrophe. |

Is there any possibility it's linked to Hani having to give Taylor Wessing his assurances that he will still service our debts for another 12 months in March? |

There is definitely something going on I don’t buy the bulls*** surrounding GC’s departure. Ben Garner has an entirely different brief, a long term plan that this season only requires a high as possible finish. The other interesting comments from Ben include the number of occasions he has seen Rovers play this season, GC’s deflated expressions about being unable to take the club any further and the lack of family security he ‘ suddenly’ referred to are very odd whichever way you look at it.
My feeling is that something has been concluded in stadium and ownership negotiations which will be announced very shortly.

BG was given a 2.5 years contract, it looks like he's got the security GC wanted, assuming of course we can (financially) honour is contract! Back to Turner if he's quit the BoD who are now our legal advisors? |

So what was written in coughlan's deal and maybe garners? |

vertigo worrying about changes at the top. There's a joke there somewhere...

So what was written in coughlan's deal and maybe garners? GC's contract would have only 18 months to run, assuming it hadn't been extended, so BG's will be 12 months longer. Perhaps Mansfield have given him the extended contract/security he wanted, who knows. |

To know what i am on about you would need to listen to the coughlan interview with twentyman after he left the club. He may have been lying but he implied his contract gave him zero security which seemed strange to me. |

What security is there in lower league football?

As I have said several times, it's not the length of contract but the length of notice for termination that's important. |

Which wouldn't have changed from the date that Coughlan signed the contract, so he's talking complete borrocks. Not saying that he didn't have a reason to go, we'll find out in time, but at this stage he's Snake 2.0. |

This is a wild guess...
He was not offered an improved contract on his anniversary of appointment.
His notice period was only 6 months.
Mansfield offered him a higher salary and more security in terms of notice period.
His agent was hawking him around.
He would have walked if Plymouth would have come in for him in the Summer.
He knows that he will always be a Lower League Manager and he has a better chance of getting a promotion on his CV with strong-budget at Mansfield, than do this at Rovers.
He thinks that we are all muppets and we believe the baloney he has come out with.

Does the "length of contract" have any significance at all, then? |

Ben Garners interview prior to tomorrow’s game is very interesting indeed. To clarify my thoughts on this I think Ben may well have been in the background for some time his reference to talking to Wael regarding the long term planning also indicates a change in attitude from the top regarding the drift we have been seeing for at least 18 months. Something is in the air, I don’t believe the fruit market proposition as we know it stands a chance unless the Al-Qadi family are the ones taking it forward. Time will tell of course.

Yes it was probably a contract where we were the only beneficiaries- a reasonable length to ensure compo if he did well and was poached and if he did badly a termination clause of some sort allowing us to get away with paying him very little to piss off. As such I’m not buying the family crap- it was about money pure and simple and he’s bound to now be on more money per annum and a contract that means that if Mansfield sack him this year he we will continue to be quids in for a long time. |

Even if the FM sale was completed next week then we'll still be playing at the Mem for anything up to 5 years whilst pp was sorted out and building work competed, I assume Wael will be around until we ever move. |
