Gringo Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 To add to my list of grievances with him, I now see that Johnny Russel is back in the Scotland squad for their next game. He is getting rave reviews over here, and they cant believe they got such a class player for peanuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Jordan wasn’t really likeable as a Chairman for many but listen to him odd times when I’m travelling and always seems to talk a fair bit of sense. He’s quite impartial as a pundit.

Personally, Rowett must have known the problems we would face if we didn't go up last season, so for him to take the job, not achieve promotion, and jump ship at the first chance at a fresh start is just shocking. Don't know what you all think on the matter, simply put, can you understand his reason for leaving or should he have stayed for the long haul. Don't want him here ,obviously has no interest ,aspiration or loyalty to the club and has nothing else to offer us next season. GR managerial skills equate to nothing more than, buy old, sell young, defensive football, Talk the talk and then walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Blame him entirely, he’s jumped ship from a team he claims is close to his heart, to another one in the same division without achieving his aims here. Money grabber, nothing more, nothing less. He won’t be getting a welcome reception from me when we play stoke, far from it. The derby crowd ever booed a manager before?

But I agree with whoever else said that maybe he's well aware of his own limitations. So he sees Stoke as the easier opportunity to get to the Prem. Or maybe he's just a bit dim and wants the money cos I reckon Stoke could have a touch of the Sunderlands about them... Here’s hoping! rowett will charm the Stoke faithful with his patter.........”little bit of quality.....” then he’ll build a team around crouchie?

I’m a student so trust me I know the need for more money in our world, but football is a different reality. Should be more about ambition imo, if I was at a club I love I certainly wouldn’t leave in a sideways step for more money. In football you’re paid enough as it is, anything more is just money grabbing. If it was a division up I’d understand it, but this move is nothing but one of a snake. Hardly like stoke are a massive club either, could very well not see the prem for decades if they make a hash of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but then I'd also expect his ex-employers and ex-colleagues, and possibly ex-customers, to not particularly appreciate being left in the lurch, with a job half done, and poorly at that.

Much bigger and better proposition than Derby currently, everyone keeps reminding us of our ageing squad, crowds decreasing, lack of funds, the managerial go round, the apparent issues with structure, the lack of any decent scouting, the no identity, the lack of good football..... Agree its a tad taking the Micky on Gary’s behalf..... but Mel reaps what he sows with how he’s ran this club since he took full control. Hes got the chance to start properly afresh now, and be a blessing in disguise and create an identity, a blank canvas...... but I fear he will never learn. I will leave the tin hat off and take any incoming..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, if i worked somewhere that gave me an opportunity but i got a substantial better offer elsewhere i wouldn't expect my existing employers to be happy, but i would still go.

What Gary will be on will be more than enough as a championship manager , as I say bide your time and if you’re good enough you get a job higher up for more money, then you can leave under no real complaints. If you’re not good enough then you’ll soon find out as you’re sacked from the job you went for more money too and then can’t get another because of your reputation. Football management is a fickle business, getting the reputation Gary is is not a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't get much sympathy from me if that happened though. Sympathy I'd piss myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
