How's your footy team doing?

Have to say Moulesy that Barton has some talents as a coach, but never a Man-Manager -- Don't think he can 'manage ' himself a lot of the time .  Great Shame, he could have a lot to offer,  but , , , , , , 

And another one bites the dust! 

Mr "good performance just lacking in the final third" Tisdale is no more!

I said this time last year, just after Graham Coughlan decided to further his career with ... er ... the mighty Mansfield Town that neither Tisdale or Cotterell were the right men for the job, but was prepared to give him a chance with a young squad this time round. 

What a mess those at the helmet of The Gas have made of things, so many lost opportunities and who would want to take the job on now? 

'Undreds of 'em, Moulesy, but whether they can pass the tests of a " Fit and Proper Person " in the Chairman's eyes I cannot say .

Whatever I can only wish you good luck - just don't invite me !!

Whisper it - Barton has been mentioned as a possibility - along with several others recently deemed surplus to requirements by other clubs. 

Tony Pulis has connections with the club but would be a risk and probably out of their reach finance wise. Paul Cook and Nigel Adkins weren't considered last time. 

If fans were allowed in Ian Holloway would be the obvious choice to get everyone motivated.

But they can't afford to make another mistake so I suspect Tommy Widdrington will take on the job temporarily.

Wonder if Eddie Howe fancies a new challenge?  

PS - if it comes down to the last day of the season,  guess who are due at The Mem? 

Not a Clue there , M, Lad ~~ too many sleeps to come ! 

And I'm likely to start another sleep before full time -- the Sheffield - Bristol match should be bottled for sale / donation to insomniacs , indeed it's no livelier than United's match yesterday

P.S.  Surely you don't mean Doncaster ?? 

I'll give you a clue - they recently scrambled to a lucky 3-2 win over The Gas! 

P.P.S.

 Just keep your eyes off Mr Artell in any circumstances, we have only got half way thro' breaking him in  !!  

I've just seen Keith Curle has been sacked by Northampton - another with Rovers connections!  And less than a year after getting them promoted! 

 Brian wonders if there is a Merry go Round where unemployed Managers { both Sacked and Wanna-be's  } can get under cover in these hard times whilst waiting for the next application of The Big Hook in their favour  ??
