You have a habit of rewriting history Keith.

As a follow up it was good that both Korbin and Albert upped their performances after Mags was put in charge. Korbin unfortunately could not play in the derby due to suspension but Albert had his best game at Rovers in his last match. He terrorised your team and played really big minutes. There is obviously a good player in there TS for some reason was unable to bring the best out of him.

Do you think Tony Smith is a top class SL coach who has improved every team he has been involved with including Rovers?

Yes I do. It was only the manner of his resignation that soured the experience.

Easier said than done when under contract and no takers. Pearson surely cannot pay them all off.

We may have to keep them and hope the new coach can get a tune out of them.

yes i realise that but you have to look to wheel and deal.Taylor will know what thats all about and Griffin isnt worth a first team place so put him on gardening duty until he agrees to move on.

He's under contract probably on a decent wedge so he why would he move on? Swap deal perhaps?

Does everyone get a clean slate under the new coach?

(Not suggesting this should happen btw)

Thos is the problem. The players we'd want moving on are probably our top earners.

They wouldn't get a better deal elsewhere, so might just sit it out until the contract runs down.

Yes you should be interested. TS demonstrated a personality flaw, not for the first time. I wonder if it will be reappear again.
