Graham Coughlan

[Billy Bests boot laces]

Blimey, that was all sorted out swiftly, after GC announced after Saturdays game he was going to think about his future with Rovers.
Maybe Rovers Chairman is ok with the situation, but if not he could possibly allege GC was 'tapped up'?.
To be named as a new clubs Manager less than 3 days after quoting what he did, does make you wonder if the deal had already been negotiated & agreed?.

Anyone no if kevin Maher is or has gone with him ?

Couldn’t find anything on either clubs websites. I would be surprised if Maher wanted to go up north though.

 

[Pak Power]

If this had happened two weeks ago, they might not have been so fired up for the second half!

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

Looks like Joe Dunne and Kevin Maher were in charge for there cup tie tonight.So both are looking in good shape to continue there roles unless of course the owners won't to appoint someone else like Holloway

Looks like Maher's going to Mansfield.

Also Nathan Jones turns down Brizzle.

 

[crangoner]

Lost his job at Mansfield after their loss to Barrow this evening.

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

wow, football is a tough and ruthless game

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

Probably exactly what we need right now

 

[Ricey]

Probably exactly what we need right now

Jurgen Klopp couldn’t get us a win.

 

[Jai]

Probably exactly what we need right now

Certainly as a centre half, but perhaps not as a manager. Mansfield have a big budget and to be down there is criminal for them. Sad to see him lose his job though.

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

hopefully bring some of that defensive ability and experience of being here with Sturrock. But we have a manager, so just empty speculation really

Shouldn’t not left Bristol Rovers, he an idiot ??‍

Shouldn’t not left Bristol Rovers, he an idiot ??‍

My Brizzle family say it was domestic reasons.

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

It just goes to show how fickle football management is.GC left a successful job at Bristol to be closer to his family routes to join Mansfield allegedly with a bigger budget.After a few bad results he is sacked

 

[Dave Smiths Love Child]

How long before the GC call to come home to Roots Hall ??

 

[jackj13]

They have a bigger budget than us, also haven’t won a game yet and are only 2 positions above us. Yet everyone seems surprised GC’s lost his job but many are calling for MM’s head. Funny eh?

 

[Strykr]

Yeah you cant lose that many games and be near the football trap door these days and not get sacked.

Unless your in southends situation of course.

 

[rigsby]

How long before the GC call to come home to Roots Hall ??.

Only if he gets desperate. It wasn't his favourite place.

 

[Colchester and proud!]

They had a vast amount of transfers both in and out over the Summer but it didn't help them. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mansfield-town/transfers/verein/3820
