Ok if we are to get Rid of Gentle who exactly do we bring and as your the ones who want rid actually name some decent available coaches not the same old names who are either past it or unavailable

Yes hes invested in youth but we now have an owner who by his won admission doesn't know a lot about RL and he now has nobody to help him with big decisions on players/coaching etc

You seriously think that someone like Adam Pearson would leave himself in the position of owning a club and not having anyone he could consult on coaches and players.

Mutual consent....Gone

I agree with you and i have said it in the past, how many times have we heard i am proud of the boys, we trained well all week, i am sorry for all the supporters who came tonight?I and many others spent a lot of money going to Wembley and supporting the side this & past seasons but its the same old crap but a different day time to change the record.

So who replaces PG?

EXACTLY.

Plenty on here saying he should go but still to see anyone name anyone who would be good enough or available.

I think the issue is deeper than just sacking the coach. For me there seems to be no penalty for the players when THEY dish out the sort of display and its not like it was unfortunate as we have seen it far too often.
The players should take 80% of the blame for last night as they just weren't interested from the off. I'm pretty sure Gentle didnt tell them to fall off tackles or not even make them or just jog back. The players really need to take a long hard look at themselves in the mirror and ask themselves if they have honestly earnt their pay this season.
They all seem to think they are infallible.

Looking at the current squad it is average and doesn't look at present at being any better next season and for me when seem to be paying over the odds to be spendingneR the full cap and getting that served up.

For me nothing has changed on the pitch apart from seeing a crop of young players come through. We are still so hit & miss in terms of performance it's beyond laughable & we are clueless out on the pitch. The old 'we're ripping it up in training' didnt wash under the old regime & certainly isn't now.

Frankly we are in a complete mess and not looking good for 2014.

After 7/8 years of the same sh/t are we ever going to get an answer to our problems which no one seems to be able to recity.

Why not give a promising English coach a chance. Wigan, Huddersfield and Leeds seem to be doing alright. The only Aussie coach worth any sort of praise is the legend Tony Smith.

Agar???







Our ex DOR said "If a club needs restructuring, you need to bring in an experienced proven Head Coach"

So what did he do?

Brought in an unproven head coach.

None of us on here (AFAIK) are paid CEO/DOR salaries to be in the position to have to "name anyone". That is the club's responsibilty.

We support a so-called professional club which presumably pays substantial salaries for professional people to make all of those very important decisions on coaches, player retention, recruitment etc... Unfortunately, we seem completely incapable of making these decisions way too often.

Has he gone yet? Has AP said sorry?

Oh no half our fans are stil clapping the team off.

Hmm but your quick enough to shout sack him when equally your not in a position to do so.

If your going to voice sack him at least come up with some names who would be a better option than the one we have.

Craig Sandercock

I think Powell will do the business at Cas as well.

All I'm saying is at least name someone who is good enough to replace him that is available and the rovers coach is neither

We are fans, not CEOs


HTH

The chuckle brothers,no maybe that would be like for like.

So just because we are fans it's ok to just scream sack him and not enter into a debate on who could replace him

After last night I would be happy to see Gentle go if I knew who was going to replace him.

However I can't see the point of sacking him as a knee jerk reaction leaving us with no coach or a caretaker or assistant in charge.

Or starting from scratch with another new coach and the same problems

No Bagpus would be a like for like.

We can't you already have them at rovers (grudgell and Sandercock)

It seems to me we've had the same problems for years, despite changing the coach and the players. I really don't know what the answer is.

Woke up this morning after a restless night's sleep due to a nightmare which kept recurring every time I closed my eyes. I thought it was my mind playing tricks on me, but it turns out last night really did happen and it is not merely a figment of the dark side of my imagination.

I always believed it would take a minimum of three years for the Pearson/McCrae/Gentle axis to make significant progress after the mess they inherited. If we are making progress towards our ultimate goal, it's pretty damn difficult to see it this morning.

I backed Gentle to be the man who hopefully would turn us around (probably more in hope than belief) but he looks like a busted flush this morning. The question that we are all asking is where to go from here. If not Gentle, then who? We could simply end up throwing out the baby with the bathwater (McNamara?).

Like everyone else on here, I have no idea of where we go from this depressing point. A series of mistakes over the last seven years (Coaching appointments, player recruitment, youth system) means we have painted ourselves into an unbelieveably tight corner with no obvious way out. Something has to give or we could be doomed to mid table mediocrity for an eternity.

There is no obvious (Black and) White Knight in shining armour waiting in the wings to rescue us from this predictament, but Adam needs to act (and act swiftly) one way or the other because we once again are looking like a rudderless ship with no clear idea or intention of where we are heading.
