Good solid statement of intent from the club, it's hard to complain about commitment.

It’s the same old same old .” Not our fault “  stuff . This lot have no passion for football only a short term view that says “ We don’t have sell “ But still do . Let players leave for nothing  ( Max Watters ) who Crawley then sold for £1m . Let the best players leave but don’t say for how much , so never know where the moneys goes .  F.A Cup proceeds never undisclosed . Players contracts allowed to run down so players end up looking to leave as little or no insensitive to stay. New manager recruitment only carried out after season promotion is lost . Gavin Baldwin couldn’t run piss up in an empty brewery!!

I'm sure Gavin Baldwin is going to be heartbroken he's got to prove himself to some random bloke on a third tier football club forum that's known for spouting b*llocks.

Every other roversforum is anti board, and in some cases as you might know are thinking of ‘decorating’ the keepmoat what this entails I have no idea... so for posters on here to say a small minority is absolutely ridiculous..... I’d say the vsc members are the minority by far..

Should have added a small minded small minority - certainly in your case.

Your trolling needs to improve mate.

[Michael Gibson]

Just as expected the Baldwin and blunt snowflakes appear.... is it true though??? You look at every other rovers site and tell me the response????

[drfc1951]

What are these other fans forums you are on about

[Michael Gibson]

There’s 3 or 4 at least

[Janso]

There’s 3 or 4 at least

So you'll be able to point us in their direction?

[MachoMadness]

Wonder if Michael will share any thoughts on the great win today?

This decorating probably involves criminal damage,court cases and lifetime bans from matches.

Gibson, Shaw. I wish somebody would take the michael(s).

Decorate?

He'll be talking about things like Twitter and Facebook, J; full of f*cking numbskulls.

Andy has been an incredible servant to this club and there will be a place available for him next season whether that is as manager, coach, or back on the playing staff.

That comment doesnt sit well with me. It does 1 of 2 things which is...

A) Give AB false hope at securing the managers job (which isnt fair)

B) Tee the fans up for the possibility that he has a genuine chance of getting the role.

If the board have no intention of appointing him then to show him the respect he deserves they need to grow a pair, nip this in the bud and tell him to polish his boots ready for next season or speak to him in regards to a coaching role. Either of those roles im happy with and the fact that he has a future with the club is really pleasing and very much deserved but please god not as the manager.

Of course, I forgot that employment rules and regulations don’t apply in football!!!?

They can’t tell him not to apply, that would be discriminatory, and so this is exactly what I would expect.  They can have (and I assume will have) the conversation and make alternative offers after the process is complete.  I’d also expect them to want to consult with the successful candidate about ABs role as well.

Therefore why list a series of demands that candidates must meet and then still offer it to people who dont meet the criteria? Pulling him aside and having a discussion is not discriminatory. "Welcoming his application" is something that didnt need to be published if they give him no chance of getting it in that case. It can just be a thanks but no thanks behind closed doors meeting and nobody need know he applied.

I’d answer, but you clearly don’t understand what would constitute constructive dismissal.

I remember going once thinking this is the last game rovers will ever play.

Me an all.
Even took my then 10 year old daughter (who wasn't remotely interested ) just so she would know what DRFC used to be

Yes he was!!! I’d forgotten about that. The producer on his radio show was/is a Rovers fan too.
