The majority of posts and threads over the last 24 hours are showing most of us to be pig sick of the whole f*cking lot of them from top to bottom, which obviously includes Copps, and that makes me really sad to see the demise of a club legend.

I stated my concerns at the time and still have them. Football legend, but ‘opaque’ business dealings, and in no way qualified. For me, Blunt has to go, and replace him with an experienced ex-manager (like Fry at Peterborough) who then needs to do a ‘root and branch’ review of the footballing structure. With a mandate to get rid of any elements he does not feel are working, including DoF, Manager, Coaches, Talent Identification and Scouts. We need some experience and accountability.

Sounds like a job Darren Ferguson could do well.

Coppinger has feathered his nest good and proper. And it’s not for the benefit of drfc.. That might be very unfair, NR. Copps might have believed he was the right man to do the job. Signs are that he was wrong.Not unfair. A balanced view. He put himself in pole position for the job. A club legend as player. Looking for post playing employment. A struggling team, the ear of the board. A fan base that wanted to see something fresh and new. All the constituent ingredients were there for him to exploit. There was no “thorough and in depth recruitment process”. It was a role instigated, engineered and set up for copps, by copps. To me, that is very clear. Rovers have managed, as have many other clubs, without a HOF. We are not Man City. We don’t need this post.it’s been touched on in other posts about money being wasted. A HOF is IMO, a waste of money.

A HOF is IMO, a waste of money. That’s just so wrong, as I’ve told you before when you asked.The HoF role was a GB idea that he’d espoused a long time before JC retired from football.
