Grant currently with head in hands knowing full well he's got to give Tim and Adam yet another bollocking for yet another commstastrophe

I mean, if he isn't our new manager for whatever reason we are going to look like an absolute joke of a club.

 

[SamLongSlidingTackle]

Rowett out!

I really really hope that he has actually signed the contract
Otherwise I fear more heads could roll…..

 

[Benox]

Best man for the job in my opinion, good luck Gary!

 

[duckyellow]

What a sh!t way to announce a new manager. Couldn't make it up!

 

[Osleroad]

Ryan Maher is head of media - he needs to get his s--t together

You're not considering the fact that this could be an elaborate decoy from our genius management team?

Announce Terry.

This would just be the funniest thing ever. Genuinely brilliant.

Welcome Gary! We’re all behind you #COYY

Ryan Maher is head of media - he needs to get his s--t together

Is he the Scottish fella?

 

[McXal]

To be fair isn’t Maher more in charge of social media/visual media and improving the quality of the video/social output from the club than he is website writing?

(Admittedly I don’t fully understand his remit vs others at the club but wasn’t that the point of bringing him in and dispensing with Williams in that CW was more of an old school, writing articles for the program/website etc where as Maher was the modern ‘can do more fun things on YouTube/Insta/Tiktok’ type)

I don't really blame him or any of the media team for this to be honest, whole club is ran like a bloody corner shop so it's hardly surprising that these kind of mistakes happen.

I mean there is no doubt the video content has improved immeasurably since he joined. Transformed I would say, it's actually very watchable now!

And equally we can’t rule out the tiny possibility that Gary was offered and accepted the job, but turned us down today and is heading down the M4 to Bristol Rivers instead.

Absolute, utter, amateur hour stuff. Bloody hell.

 

[Osleroad]

Is he the Scottish fella?

Yes - He is the Press Officer and Comms so has oversight as far as I'm concerned.

 

[ScottOx]

Just announced on Sky Sports News also

 

[Sheik Djibouti]

Has anyone considered that this is @Carpy just yanking everyone's chain?

Given that the story isn't actually on the website, is Carpy having a bit of "fun"

 

[Royalstandard74]

It's a bit like ripping a corner of the Christmas present to see what's inside, when Rowett is announced, let's all act surprised!

No. It was real. Seen with my very own mark 1 eyeballs.

I have seen it on social media so I doubt it.

I'm almost offended

 

[Sheik Djibouti]

I'm almost offended

Maybe you should be flattered that I thought you might be that creative

 

[holdsteady]

Not exactly killed the surprise I suppose, actually be more of a surprise if we didn’t f**k it up than announcing Rowett.
