Mark McGhee made boss of Bristol Rovers

I can only feel for the supporters of Bristol Rovers at this time of urgent desperation.

[lichtie23]

Oh good God!

[ayrmad]

I think he'll probably do well there.

They just have no luck. The last thing they took from Aberdeen was Jerel Ifil, now McGhee! RIP Bristol Rovers FC. I reckon Darlington have more of a bright future than this mob!

Andy Dorman plays for them.

Decent player.

[The Master]

And Wikipedia is down, too. How on earth could the Bristol Rovers board check his record?

[uni]

You cannot balme fans for being optimistic after a new appointment but have a read of thse comments about his appointment, obviously they do not follow his managerial record!

Was he not linked with the old firm at one point?

Shortly before the 09 League Cup final, Walter Smith said that Rangers were about to bid £1 million for him. Turned out to be a lot of mind games bollox although I think Celtic made an official enquiry about him.

He has promoted Millwall, Reading and Brighton down south. Yeah, he had a bad time in Aberdeen, but he did well at Motherwell. I think he'll do alright.

[pantene proV]

He'll do alright probably. Is it not the case that anyone Aberdeen appoint is onto a loser, no matter how decent or successful they've been elsewhere?

In other words, it's that club that sucks the life out of managers. Look at shagger Broon, starting to show his age now too!

You mean it's a club where supporters have expectations beyond relegation battles?

[Thumper]

Seen his interview? You'd think Rovers had been on their hands and knees begging him to come, rather than his having been out of work after being sacked for nearly getting one of Scotland's biggest teams relegated.

This.

[KnightswoodBear]

I can imagine that he'll be telling everyone that'll listen that Mark McGhee will be managing in the Premiership soon.

Has he not really been a bit of a one season wonder? I think he managed to have a good 1.5 seasons at one of them - obviously not Aberdeen.

Ian Porterfield
Alex Smith
Jimmy Calderwood

Then he'll get them promoted next season and relegated the following season. No net loss and the fans get the joy of being promoted for the 2.5 years he's contracted.
