Lot's of talking to the players, though. Doesn't believe in targets, so it's all going to be cosy at CP with lots of chocolate buns at break-time.

Ok not as inspiring as genitals Peter we WILL be in the top two I wud say it cud be ur coach that shoots his self in the foot ouch

Why would he say something he hasn't got any control over u lot will be wetting ur selves next season and calling for his balls if u aint in top two cos that's his statement and u believe him

He has let slip about withers so reckon that could be announced anytime soon

Well, Richard on the lines was "very excited". Some of these Rovers fans are like nodding dogs when it comes to their club. Only days ago, initial concerns about Kevin Moore had been conveniently cast aside to the extent of warming more and more to the appointment when he was favourite to be announced. Now Sandercock's been announced, he's suddenly the ideal candidate. Very convenient.

He's arriving next week. Quick off the mark, I'll give him that. There's probably a rude joke in there somewhere.

Anyone else smell something?

That would be the same size list as FC Wembley triumphs.

3 Challenge Cups vs just 1

Forgotten about those. Went from "Peter Gentle certainly has a very good cv, let's hope Rovers are in a position to announce him at our last league game this season if not before", to "Gentle was turned down by us, Wakey and Cas. At least he managed to gain employment at FC. Fourth time lucky so to speak. "

I like Craig Sandercock already, but interesting that Mike Smith was saying it has to be Top 4 on the same day Craig was saying he didn't want to be drawn into making bold statements. Like a bit of alignment, me. Towels all straight and perfectly stacked cans of beans in the cupboard.

Gentle was never on Hudgell's radar. Craig Sanderson was first spoken to in July and fits the Rovers 'wishlist' down to a tee.
