The Bristo Rovers' search for a new manager thread

Good job you've stuck to your 'I'm never calling it League 2' post.

And this is the most laughable pile of shit I've ever seen.

A Conference Championship club in League Two, maybe.

I believe he was repeating the words of Lennie Lawrence rather than his own opinion.

Lawrence is fucking awful. Incapable of making astute signings, incapable of motivating the players he's already got, tactically one-dimensional and about as inspiring as a plate of cold gravy. Contrary to what a previous poster thinks, he didn't do particularly well at City. With the resources he had available to him he should have strolled the division, instead we scraped promotion through the playoffs (when we finished 6th) after a worse than mediocre season punctuated by insipid performances and soggy flan-like capitulations, especially in the crucial run-in games. He then managed to turn a team containing Earnshaw, Gabbidon, Collins, Jerome, Kavanagh and Warner (all of whom are now playing in the Premiership) into relegation dodgers. Abysmal.

He will never be forgotten for signing Andy Campbell, either.

Wouldn't wish him on me worse enemy, but can just about stretch to wishing him on the Wurzels. Enjoy him!

Erk - except Jerome, but he soon will be

Good thing he aint in charge of the team then isn't it?

 

[bendeus]

He can work his anti-Midas touch from anywhere, trust me.

Well he conducted himself like a gentleman in difficult circumstances when he was with Cardiff, so I admire him for that.

However make sure you're 3-0 by half time as you're fucked if he gives the pep talk.

I felt that a true gentleman would have walked after the 12 games he asked us to judge him by, rather than hanging on knowing the club couldn't afford to offload him at that stage due to the compensation they'd have had to shell out.

However make sure you're 3-0 by half time as you're fucked if he gives the pep talk.
