Underwhelmed, lack of ambition?

[Silkscarf]

I honestly don't understand what everyone is on about. As far as I am aware the club has said nothing apart from its job spec and timescale. So I'm just waiting for the man to be announced. Whoever it is he'll get my support.

Kevin Keegan is obviously the 3rd candidate waiting in the wings after his holidays.

[roversdude]

What the appointment that hasn’t happened??

[the vicar]

if it`s McCann lets get behind him ,he might surprise us.

you are right it would surprise us if he does good, Peterborough and there fans could not wait to get rid

[grayx]

What can McCann do at rovers on a smaller budget that he could not do a Peterborough on a bigger budget?

Be prepared to work with existing backroom staff rather than bring his own?

[Filo]

Not all. However I've seen another post similar to this on Twitter. I also wanted Wignall and Dickov sacking, It doesn't negate me from calling out a cheap, uninspiring appointment. This is one.

Are you privvy to the financial details?

[boro_rover]

I have to say as well that i will be disappointed if it is McCann and not McCall. I thought he did well with Bradford and left for footballing reasons, rather than ineptitude.

I’m not normally a pessimist either but the last few seasons have been relatively flat and disappointing. When Ben Whiteman is your marquee signing for a season I don’t think it is all that great. We might well be a prudent and well run club. I don’t doubt the board feel their safety first style is the best way to run the club, but generally the football has been poor, the signings uninspirational and there is not really very much at all that is going to inspire the next generation to come and watch the Rovers.

I realise how negative this post may sound, but I really do love the club. But nearly everything coming out of the club at the minute makes me feel flat and not in the least excited. 😕

[Chris Black come back]

It's a bit wierd, the same names that were calling for Fergie to be sacked are the same names that are now slating an unamed new manager. Has the heat got to some of you, sit in a dark room and put a wet towel over your heads!

To be fair, I have not yet seen our friend Dickos criticising the appointment of McCann. So not fair to say those folk calling for Ferguson to be sacked are also laying in to our seeming new manager.

[Cantley Rover]

I don't think anyone is laying in to the new Manager (If it is to be Grant McCann). I hope he does a great job if it is to be him. It seems to me and no doubt a few others he was the cheapest option taking everything into consideration and doubt he will be given the tools to do the job properly.

This is my issue as well. I can’t remember the last time we made a signing that really made me excited. Or I felt that we had made a real statement as a club that we were going forward with real positive intent.

It’s all the little things. Unproven signings, letting Baudry go. The club just feels very underwhelming to me at the moment. Perhaps we were spoilt during jrs tenure and now the bubble seems to have burst. There isn’t much excitement and there seems to be little to look forward to.

I really hope I am wrong and something changes. Sorry to sound like I am bashing the club, but it is just the way I feel at the moment.

Your post isn’t a negative one.
It is by a supporter who loves his club but is concerned about how things appear to be with it.

[DonnyOsmond]

Rowe signing was massive. Marquis re-signing.

Who's Ben Whitehead

[BillyStubbsTears]

Boro

Ferguson let Baudry go.

[Cantley Rover]

Rowe signing was massive. Marquis re-signing.

It obviously doesn't take a lot to get you excited.

[RedJ]

Rowe was a quality signing for League Two.

Shame he didn't seem to reproduce anything like what we saw in his loan spell over a consistent period...

[sedwardsdrfc]

Rowe signing was massive. Marquis re-signing.

Weren't you excited by signing Rowe on a 3 year deal when we were in league 2? that's as good as we or probably any club in that division could do. Admittedly it wasn't great to be there.

[Chris Black come back]

Cannot say I have much of a view either way to be honest. Will see what happens.

Only two thoughts I really have about him are that he is both an ex-Dingle and ex-SKitson. These is a very concerning history.

Also his only full season of management was 16/17 in League One where they finished absolutely bang average. Almost exactly half way in table and almost exactly as many points off relegation as from the play off places, and a zero GD. Basically little of any real interest there.

Will see which of his Dingle ways he might bring to the Keepmoat.

You are of course right bst. But I am pretty sure you will agree him leaving was a disappointment.

[sheffield exile1]

Must admit I am disapointed with some comments on here. Maybe McCann wasnt peoples first choice but for goodness sake he is already getting negative press before he has even taken up post. Please give him a chance. I was at Shrewsbury when Fergie took over and at Huddersfield when SOD came, so lets see what he does before all this negativity..

[Pancho Regan]

:PIt NOT McCann !!!!      🤫

I believe it’s McCann.....

[Paul Simpson]

All doom and gloom. How about getting behind our club , manager and the boys!!! ⚽️ Rtid

Yeah but did he get more than a point a game?
