Rovers old boys

In terms of job security yes, although Holt has come up with some remarks on Twitter which suggests not everything rosy at Accy. However Ged going to be a number 2 to someone he’s done better than over the time both have been managing this season feels a little strange.

Yes I agree slightly odd but I suspect it all came down to the finances and security of a 3 year deal. At league two level they’ll still have the usual bills to pay.

Ged and John Doolan are very good friends and have often talked about getting a chance to work together.
Difficult to say who's done the best Boz without taking into account the time frame.
Not sure how resources we're for Ged, but I know Accy had to play some accademy players in the immediate aftermath of John Coleman's departure. A young accademy CB was put in against Cookie in the first game and got absolutely battered....albeit he will have learned.
Interestingly, as a side note, Hull played a friends brother (Tyler Morton), normally a midfielder against Cookie and I was told same thing happened.
Needs must sometimes I suppose.

George Ray announces he’s leaving barrow after two decent years there.

Slightly surprising re Ray, seemed to rebuild his reputation there and can’t see him getting offers above L2.

After 15 years coaching at Anfield, John Achterberg announces he is leaving at the end of the season for a new challenge

15 years! wow.

He must have done a good job to last that long. His successes included their cup goalie Kelleher, so his transfer value alone would have paid his salary several times over.

Jake Burton released by Chester.

Ben Tollitt released by Oldham

Spin on his behalf, he was released as was Foley. Barrow after a decent campaign also ditched ten.

Liam Ridehalgh released by Bradford City. Now 33 but played regularly last season. Perhaps less of interest now we have Wood but has much needed height and can cover centre-back.

Wonder if Micky might be tempted to take him at Oldham although Rides is getting on a bit now.

Perhaps. It's an easier journey from Bradford to Oldham than to Birkenhead.

What a dire trilogy! Prefer him to Wood but don't worth arguing about, shame he left. Foley also was far better than anything on our bench recently

Swindon have released Rushian Hepburn-Murphy. Looks capable of doing a job for someone on the strength of his Swindon performance against Rovers.

Hes still only 25, scored 5 goals in the season just gone in 27 games, got plenty of pace though lacking in end product at times

Remember his hat trick at MK Dons!
Unbelievable.

Plenty of pace and no end product? We’ve already got one striker like that

haven't we always had one?
when our strikers hit a patch?
you could list them.........

Classic case of us seeing one very good performance and Swindon seeing the rest, remember McPake. Leave to Nigel
