If only we'd listened to you and not got caught up in all his hype and BS! It's fair to say I've never hated a manager so much in my 19 years supporting the gas.

You guys haven't done too bad out of it, 70k plus the most arrogant manager out the way. Not to mention the 35k for Zebs which is looking like good business. It's fair to say you saw us coming lol.
I would not have thought it possible For Rovers to have been anything worse than top 5 with Zeb & Stanley in the team. Muzzy, (on his day) is also class! Cheer up!, at least now you have got a decent keeper !! :-D

Got a horrible feeling it could be Gary Johnson. It's certainly a very risky move for any manager based on our sack happy board.

Shaun North in temporary charge is an odd one. I'd have thought he'd have gone with the orange one.

Shaun North is a good bloke and don't forget he knows half of your players very well. He doesn't deserve to pay the price for Buckle being a dickhead.

I don't think that he spends too much time "wishing that he had a bigger one" like Buckle. :clap: :lol: :scarf:

Surely they can't be trying to poach our fans as well. I would have thought they had better taste than a girly guy with an orange car. and orange laces even if he has got rid of that motorised booby

Very good points. I've never met the man tbh but the assistant usually goes with the manager. They've obviously had talks with him and he's happy to distance himself from Buckle. Can see him holding a grudge against North now for taking temporary charge.

Buckle will be more pissed off with getting paid weekly and just his basic salary to boot.

I'll wager that Northy will get your season going before too long.

Gary Johnson was just on the local news saying what a great club it was and how great the fans were and that he can't comment if he'd take the job. Seems like he could have been lined up. VERY risky move as the fans would be on his back quicker than Buckle after afew defeats.

About fecking time. Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke. Hope your form improves now Rovers fans and you can get away from the bottom. Forget the play offs though, Bucks has already cocked that up.
Strangely enough it was Pope Gregory the 9th inviting me for drinks aboard his steam yacht, the saucy sue currently wintering in montego bay with the England cricket team and the Balanese Goddess of plenty.

Johnson seems the obvious choice for you. As I think O'Driscal (who a few of you have mentioned with better spelling) is not going to come to a league two club.

Johnson knows the league well, could be a good appointment.

Don't be surprised if he ends up taking over at Argyle from Fletcher..............
