    Is it time for a 'Managerial Merry go round' thread?

    What will he be offered at Albion? Double the money? Triple?

    Bolton too slow out of the blocks today. In the first half it was like watching FGR under Mark Cooper.

    He always reminds me of Spencer off Phoenix Nights.

    'Hit and miss' would be something like a 50% improvement on our recent perm recruitment.

    Bolton at home. Apparently Cheltenham did a number on them last night by pressing hard, not allowing them time and space, winning the 50/50s, and all the other things we are incapable of. 0-4 then I would think.

    It was his job to have a succession plan for those who were bound to leave. To be fair, O'Keefe at RWB is a good replacement for Wilson (EFL2 players of the season in 2021-22). The others not so much, but we will never know whether that is because the DoF did a bad job or his top targets would...

    But it's not like we couldn't see it coming. Inevitably, when a relatively small club like FGR does well the bigger clubs swoop for what they see as our biggest assets. The challenge is to make the whole club resilient enough to withstand these losses. That's not easy, but there are other clubs...

    I think gates as a proportion of the population of the host town or city can be misleading if it ignores other centres of population nearby without their own league sides. E.g. Nailsworth (where FGR is) is only 6 miles from Stroud (population 30k and no league side) and 8 miles from Dursley (15k...

    Must be devastating when forced to give up the thing you have devoted most, if not all, of your life to. Hopefully he has good people around him.

    New Kits Season 22/23

    Strictly speaking, universities are not public institutions. The likes of Lincoln and Portsmouth have been majority funded by students themselves (primarily through student loans) for years and years.

    We beat Accrington 2-1 tonight in the game rearranged due to the downpour on 16 August. Only seven games in but it felt like a relegation scrap. Much praise to our two on-loan centre backs who are aged about 40 put together.

    He was the central midfield fulcrum for us in L2, one of the first on the teamsheet and we were sorry to see him go. I remember him as very comfortable on the ball, a good passer but not quick or a ball winner. I think Sunderland played him elsewhere though, as did Cheltenham before us.

    Looks like we're loaning a young Norwegian centre forward from a Premier League club. And I thought Haaland was doing ok.

    Forget the header - definite foul on the Bolton player left of shot. Red card and penalty.

    Carabao Cup 22/23

    At Walsall away in the pizza trophy last year the first prize in spot the ball was pizza for a YEAR. Let's all think very carefully before calling for the abolition of a competition with prizes of that magnitude.

    How on earth does Mr Barton go from 'We are delighted to secure the services of Trevor' to telling the bloke he is surplus to requirements within less than a month? That suggests something is badly wrong somewhere.

    Sadly you are describing many a UK city/town centre these days. And I agree with you about the best way to resolve the issue.
