Would this be a good thing for the gas or is it just a quick fix? I have a lot respect for John Ward he's had a lot success as a manager but 100% sure if this is the best idea I'm saying I wouldn't have has manager but I would like to see him damage his career if its all goes wrong by returning to us.
i liked ward and i personally would be happy with him but what has he actually done since he left us? im sure he will bring back stability which is what we need but is he good enough to make us challenge?
Well he did get the 82ers promoted and of course Chelteham and got Carlisle into play offs but failed out at Colchester
mcghee has a better record getting teams promoted. then failed at aberdeen. reality is, 91st from 92nd - 2nd bottom in the football league, the managers available wont attract quality managers.
Ward could be a great mentor for someone like Stewart/Walsh/Tillson. His best days of frontline managership though, I think, have gone
Very true wouldn't want to be in Higgs' boots right now he's got to get it right this time. IMO I think they should let North and Stewart have ago until end of season if we bring in Ward and are relegated then we will be calling for his head if we go down with North and Stewart then North will be cheaper to pay off and Stewart will just go back to his job looking after the youth.
I think North should have gone as well. He was only appointed by Buckle because he was smaller than him!!!! We need a quality coach.
Looks like it will be Ward http://www.pafc.co.uk/news/article/update-on-director-of-football-548095.aspx
micky mellon higgs only wants him as his initials are MM meaning they dont need to get new clothing for mellon to save money
All the signs point to John ward. I'd be happy with Wardy - anyone in fact, who can deliver us league football and get the players playing for the shirt again...
chris spittles twitter.... Chris Spittles ‏@ChrisSpittles John Ward's return to Bristol Rovers will be confirmed this afternoon. Contract until the end of the season I'm told. #bristolrovers https://twitter.com/ChrisSpittles
Chris Spittles ‏@ChrisSpittles Still likely that Ward will include Marcus Stewart in his first team set-up. There's great mutual respect between them #bristolrovers
Can't fault the board for finding a quick replacement but **** me how many managers is it now since Trolls, I lost count
not including caretakers.... penney, buckle and mcghee. including caretakers.... paterson, penney, campbell, buckle, north and mcghee thats in the last 2 years. looks bad but add trollope full period in with it then that an extra 5 years on his own.
