Thanks for listening KT.


Get rid of him and let Brady and Sammo see what they can get out of the players. Yes, their hands will be tied, but at least we might make a fight of it.

Beat you to it.  Tongue

Haha, do you know what I don’t like, I don’t like the way KT talks down to supporters, I don’t like the way he treats everyone as stupid, I don’t like the way he has had soon to be 7 managers in the last 5 and a half years or the state of the stadium.
But I am grateful he’s got rid of a manager who has played the worst football I can remember.

The complete lack of game plan, dreadful team selections, dreadful substitutions and lack of motivation are unfortunately too much and he has to go.
Act now and give the new man the January window to sign some quality to keep us in this division.

He certainly made life hard for himself by completely dismantling last years team. This was compounded by a complete mis-judgement of the effect of Covid on the transfer market.

He thought loads of good players would be available as clubs cut their budget and that he could retain key players like Oliver by offering them a "cheap" deal. However, others were prepared to offer him what he thought he was worth. A total fiasco that cost us a player integral to the Curle system.

So he ended up scrabbling for what was left over.

Despite this, we have somehow limped to a position where we are still in with a fair chance of getting out of this mess.

The football has largely been difficult to watch, but having got to the transfer window we have, again, made a compete pigs ear of it. How on earth can we only have one striker who has scored more then 1 League goal??

I'm no Smith fan, but Edmondson looks what he is - a young lad with no real experience of mans football. Hard to expect him to turn our scoring problems round. Certainly not the pedigree of a Morton.

We have limited options, but we just have to hope that we can liberate the players with a more positive tactical format and get them to "play for the shirt". Any additional useful recruits would be welcome... perhaps even Rico will make a comeback! I'm not really being serious, but honestly don't think he would be any worse than some of the options.  

Good luck to John, Sammo and Rico. I hope the players respond.

What a joyous fray to behold !!!
At last the charlatan has gone !
I fully back Jon Brady . He is a very good coach that will bring modern methods to this team . He is also an intelligent man that will not blag his way out of a situation .
Fantastic news indeed

Think my assertion that he should be given more time when people were calling for him to be sacked in League Two turned out to be a pretty decent one. He at least got us into league one 😎

Well its never nice for someone to lose their job, however I always thought Keith was on borrowed time both at Northampton and at my club Carlisle.
I got to know him very well whilst at the Blues, and apart from the conversation's with him where 2/3 words would do instead of his customary '20 word waffle', he was a nice guy. But unfortunately I never took to him as our manager despite a small amount of success (we got into the play offs with him.....but failed), it always grinds with me with the players at his disposal at his time with the Blues that he should have done much, much better, too much chopping and changing of the players , too much worrying about the opponents, too much fannying around at the back and definitely too much chopping and changing the tactics, (he once changed it 3 times in one half alone), he never could seem to understand the word 'consistency' which in my book breeds confidence.
Anyway good luck Keith, and even if some of our fans would welcome him back tomorrow (heaven knows why with the manager we've got)Huh??? I wouldn't.
And if its any consolation he was 100 times better than Steven Pressley.

I think you’ll find at this level and below, most managers are relatively average and will have some periods of success and some absolute horror shows. In fact, unless you look at the very best managers in the world it’s difficult to find many that have not had a job or a spell where things have been very poor. When I look at the majority of football league managers I don’t think many are really better than the opposing manager I just think sometimes it clicks and sometimes it doesn’t. Of course you’ll get exceptions, for example Wilder who proved to be well above this level tactically. Conversely, Dean Austin who seemed a great guy but out of his depth in the football league. But generally I just think a lot of it is timing, circumstances and a bit of good old fashioned luck.

Huge day for the owners. Failure to act and their credibility is totally destroyed.

I think this post is interesting as its very much line in my thoughts. Managerial sucesss seems in many ways to be random and have little basis on previous results, experience or skills. Look at Gary Jphnson... either an an amazing manager or the worst we've ever had depending on whose fans you ask. Might as well pull names out of hat, and then if it doesnt work you just go again with another option .

+1

Had for instance Oliver resigned and Wharton & Morton come back on loan (assuming the later hadn’t picked up a similar to that at Lincoln) which didn’t happen but was far from the realm of fantasy. I have no doubt we would be safe and not having this conversation. I know it’s easy to talk about what ifs but you only need a few situations to go your way and the picture can change dramatically.

Next Bristol Rovers manager: Former England defender and Northampton Town boss wants job

Former Bristol Rovers and Bristol City defender Keith Curle is eager to immediately return to management and is interested in the vacancy at the Mem

Bristol-born Keith Curle is interested in the managerial vacancy at Bristol Rovers following Paul Tisdale's exit.

Bristol Live understands Curle, who started his playing career at the Gas, is eager to immediately return to work after his two-and-a-half-year stint at Northampton Town ended on Wednesday.

The Cobblers parted company with Curle within minutes of Tisdale’s sacking at Rovers yesterday, and the 57-year-old is keen to be back in the dugout as soon as possible.

Curle fancies a return to the city of his birth to take charge of the Gas as they vie to arrest a 10-game winless run and avoid relegation from League One.

Curle has amassed a managerial career of more than 500 games, having taken charge of Mansfield Town, Torquay United, Notts County and Carlisle United before taking the job at Sixfields.

The three-cap England international steered the Cobblers to promotion via the League Two play-off final in June with a 4-0 win over Exeter City but was relieved of his duties this week with the club, alongside Rovers, locked in a relegation battle.

Curle started his playing career with Rovers in the early 1980s before joining the likes of Manchester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers. He also had playing stints with Bristol City and Wimbledon before moving into management in 2002.

He also spent time on Neil Warnock’s coaching staff at Queens Park Rangers and Crystal Palace, winning promotion to the Premier League with QPR and reaching the Championship play-offs at Selhurst Park.
