    After securing a play off position, Rovers chairman has sacked the manager!

    He said "The manager has taken club as far as he can. As a club we felt we needed to make this change, in order to give us the best chance of succeeding."

    I don't think the FGR fans were all that keen on him in the first place.

    But what a time to sack their manager though. Hope they fail now.

    To be honest I'm pretty sure it doesn't in the play offs and lets face it, its not going to count for Forest Green anyway. Dover need to win and if they do they will either score 1( in which case it cancels out the 1 Forest Green got) or they will score more than 1 and so they will have the advantage.

    Bet the handful of FGR fans can't wait to try beefburgers at Wembley if they get there.

    Lots of things going on with Rovers.

    Blackburn get rid of their manager
    Doncaster will be relegated
    Us in the play offs but could still win automatic
    FGR in the play offs and got rid of their manager
    Tranmere just missing out on the play offs
