    At best it's bad PR (as per). That may be all it is, but maybe not. Who knows?

    Thanks for this.

    IMO Fletcher (if we have to use him) would be better suited as the 'poacher'. His hold up play is poor and he is physically weak for a 'big man'. But does get into goal scoring chances and has put a couple away. If we are dominating teams and he just has to worry about being in he box, he might be ok.

    Does he beat QSF in the swoon department? Maybe add a scarf and sweater? ;)

    Its an absolute guess based on how we’ve treated most of our young talented signings.

    Forest Greens owner is acting like someone took his bird. A little bit pathetic the way he is going about things to be honest.

    Won't get a big argument from me on that one. But IF we have to use him, he'd be better as the poacher than the hold up man.

    I didn't even know managers had contracts at Sunday league sides. Welcome to the forum though. Our owners are ****s so I'm inclined to believe they behaved badly until proven otherwise.

    I was on the fence about whether to believe the FGR supporters, then one said we refused to sign a manager until July 1st, taking away preparation and settling time to avoid a month's wages.

    Classic us.

    ******* hell just seen this Dale Vince guy with his scarf, he looks like a self entitled nobhead and as much as I hate Duxbury, I can't believe Watford fans are going on public forums like Twitter, BBC etc to lambast us due to the word of that penis?

    Duxbury said in his program notes that he’ll take charge as soon as the Chelsea game finishes next week. This July 1st stuff is a load of tosh.

    Big rugby area - with Gloucester being so close; FGR supporters come from many of teh villages and towns around the area.

    Keep going as you are and we'll shortly pass you on the way up - too many big clubs plummet - just look at Pompey/Oldham/Sunderland and others

    I don't doubt it.

    Good luck to you. We're an absolute car crash and I'm sorry that our owners pissed off you guys with how they went about things.

    My view is that no matter how good this lad is, he can only work with the tools he's given and most of our signings are absolute tools.

    Firstly, we're not a "big club" so have no need to worry about that.

    Second, your owner seems like he's telling the vegan equivalent of porkies.

    Cheers.

    Does RE actually have to be contracted to us to actually take training and be involved in transfers (yeah yeah, I know)?

    The FGR fans claim that Edwards had very little do with their promotion winning side. The two players he signed ended up being duds.
    Pearson - Ranieri at Leicester springs to mind.
    Groundwork already done before he was appointed.
    Good luck to him at Watford.

    Hopefully we can get Gray back and extend his contract. That would sort out the forward line

    The podcast I’ve just listened to said Rob was the best and most likeable manager they’ve had in their history.. and they’re absolutely devastated he’s gone — link here https://twitter.com/thefgrpod/status/1524778765506707457?s=21&t=SEH5szNJSsYjxHH_we4K1Q

    Christ! That is a very grim side.
    No chance of promotion with those flops. The Championship is weak, but not that weak.
