I think this lays with Rupp and Rhodes more than Bowyer.

The whole 'anything we do this week is in the interest of the club' statement is obviously about keeping the club afloat financially.

I dont believe a word that comes out of our club. The whole Rupp and Rahic show has been a disgrace.

 

I'm sorry but is he stupid?

Who advised him to say what he said?

He's completely contradicted the owners statement of earlier in the window.

He'd have been far better saying nothing.

How stupid is he?

 

No point getting him a striker, he doesn't have the faintest idea what to do with them so I suppose in the Bowyer bubble we don't need one. Meanwhile in the real world.....

 

totally lost my support now and I was banging the bowyer drum big time when he came in. Los the fecking plot he has.

 

He just basically said we dont need another striker, we have got Omari Patrick who ‘HAS SCORED GOALS FOR WREXHAM’

Is this actually a joke??

 

Hes lost it

I defended him earlier in season...no more hes undefendable

 

If you think, like really hard, it'll come to you.

Hint: Keiffer Moore

 

Listen, nobody and I mean nobody, wants success for this football club more than Bowyer.

 

How much is Bowyers football costing us in gate receipts - 1000 flexi supporters per home match maybe more. - 10 grand a week? Doyle and Vaughans wages.

At some point poor attendances has got to bite

 

Yes park, that is exactly what will happen.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results.

Keep on clapping

 

Absolutely atrocious words from Bowyer!!! I actually think he’s taking the piss out of me

 

Think it’s the first time I’ve seen a manager say we’ve not got a pot to piss in and get the blame for it, like he’s the one who puts up the funds. Just because we got rid of a few high earners doesn’t mean we aren’t skint if it’s going towards the ‘deficit’

 

If Bowyer shoots himself in the foot I hope he's more accurate than our feckin players!

 

They are backing a manager who is failing with a good budget, but they will not support him with more finances and they won’t sack him because it costs too much to replace him, the perfect storm. We have an owner who says he wants to put right Rahic destruction of our cllub, but then sits meekly by while we sell our assets.

 

If we're skint why did we even try move for Grigg? It just makes absolutely no sense at all.

 

The more I think of this whole sorry affair, the more I believe that the club may find itself between a rock and a hard place.

Gary Bowyer is not the man for us, I think this is now pretty clear to the majority of the fan base and the board. However he does have us in a good position in the league despite his lack of tactical ability, coaching nous and negative approach. This position is the sole reason why GB has some supporters still backing him.

Only 2 years ago the club fired a manager who had City in a lofty position in January, I am not saying this was right or wrong but the way the season petered out showed that there was nothing positive to come from this change. Whilst I believe the circumstances with GB are completely different, the club may fear that if they take action now then the same could happen - leaving them open to criticism that they haven't learnt from their 'mistakes'.

GB was supported in the summer, but if I was the board after what I had seen this season - I would not afford him another penny to spend. That said I can see why they haven't pulled the trigger, not that I agree with it!

Finally, the Vaughan deal just does not make sense. If he is this bad egg or we are struggling for money then surely any move should have been made permanent - I mean if JV desperately wanted away then surely his camp would also have been pushing for this.

 

You don't necessarily need big budget,what would Accringtons have been when they got promoted,but you do need a good manager to get the best out of what you have got.

 

No ambition. Bo des

RE Vaughan, he still has 2.5 years left on his deal here and he must be on a good wage given he's recently been contracted to Championship clubs. It might simply be a case of not being able to find a permanent taker right now, mid season, so we've just offloaded him on loan until the end of the season and will deal with the problem again in the summer.

 

And not a word from him or Rhodes. Bowyer seems to be not only our manager but also the club spokesman now.
