The benefits of being two hours ahead.... if you go on to the Rovers Board you will find R&O's story.

If you'd been at the West training session last night you'd have been 8 hours ahead!
Shame for Kev and Rovers that it didn't work. He has a proven tracken record in various divisions, but you obviously need a chemistry between coaches and players and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

strange decision - R&O seems to think its a bit premature if it's based solely on results and I would agree.

It seems more like there's some egos in the team taking a slack attitude to training which led to Westgarth calling them out in the Mail over the last few weeks, which they didn't like. It looks to me like player power has forced him out.

i heard a few whispers over there that clashes with some players helped in this

Not sure it's any of our business although I am surprised that Rovers use the word sacked which seems a bit strong for club rugby.

I'm with WPA as was thinking the same myself.
I'm sure Big Kev won't be too happy with that headline/report.
R&O ain't got much tact or diplomacy, has he?
No wonder he is a Billy!!! :oD

I'm sure Saggy will do a better job in The Bugle tonight.

Thought I had scooped you , Dave, as it appeared late on the Rovers' site and I thought it was breaking news!

You're right, WPA, AGAIN! We did used to have a bit of banter but it has all become a little serious now on the Dark Side.

Well i heard (from a good sauce) that there were too many chiefs and not enough Indians at Rovers...

But as Mikey Boy touched on, if you dont get them training together then you cant be expected to do well on the field, but at the end of the day the coach can only turn up, he cant force people to train!!!

don't know what to make of the rumour SCH seems to be starting there - they must have a bit of spare cash hanging around if that's the case. If the players wouldn't listen to westgarth, would they listen to Brown?

Sheriff is better staying with a club that is on the "up" rather than one on the way "down" .... IMO of course!

If that is the case, good luck to them.

the Mail seemes to make it clear that it was the fact that westgarth and Lee couldn't work together that led to this move. Can't see how Brown coming in will be any better?

Thought the Mail made it clear that Lee was now in sole charge. Suppose he might bring his mates Brown and Coulson in as players though.

Sounds to me like throwing good money after bad. After all you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear !
