He's made the executive decision NOT to accept any players, for the betterment of the club he manages, from a club he dislikes. I think if I was one of the directors, I'd be having a quiet word.
He's a first time manager (since January!) and he's talking like he's Jose fucking Mourinho.
And definitely not going on a coupon all season!!That's my "hope you get gubbed every week" English team sorted.
yes thank you forget about sellics sectarianism but highlight rangers'That wouldn’t make it sectarian though. That would just be usua Scottish press.
its is now though as long as hes thereHe hasn't made an executive decision Doc, he cracked a joke in a presser, Its not a signing policy of Bristol Rovers management ffs
It does in ScotlandHating the team you supports rivals doesn't make you a bigot. Its not wrong to hate your rivals.
Err, it wasn't meant in the literal sense.He hasn't made an executive decision Doc, he cracked a joke in a presser, Its not a signing policy of Bristol Rovers management ffs

Ok. He's decided NOT to accept any players, for the betterment of the club he manages, from a club he dislikes. I think if I was one of the directors, I'd be having a quiet word.
Is that better?
all joking aside but if a manager says he'll never buy from a certain club then that becomes his and his clubs signing policy till he leavesIt doesn't.
Its not.
I had to check if this is Kerryfail street the amount of threads on them and mope behaviour on here today
Think the article has been amendedIt was said tongue in cheek, see the asterisk and read the footnote.
I don't doubt there would be a bigger fuss made if the this was a Rangers fan saying it about a yahoo player but I've no real issue with someone hating us because they are a yahoo.
I'm quite comfortable with hating every single thing about them and telling people when asked this very thing
Because he doesn’t like us.
Would Liverpool not wanting to buy a Man U player but would buy a city player be sectarian?
Is the correct answer.If it was from a rangers supporting manager, we would be loving it. Let's not pretend otherwise.
Sounds like an intelligent guy.Could you imagine the pish we would be reading here if a rangers supporting manager had said that about Celtic

Graham Coughlan has quickly shut down the transfer rumour doing the rounds in Scotland that Bristol Rovers are interested in signing Rangers’ teenage winger Josh McPake on loan.
The League One transfer window remains open until September 2 and Coughlan is known to be in the market for a speedy wideman.
With little money to spend, the Irish manager has made no secret of the fact that any additions to his squad would likely have to be a loan deal, and players will probably have to exit his squad to make room.
Asked whether he was in for McPake, the Irish manager responded in complete shock at the question.
He replied: “From Rangers? Rangers? Are you actually telling me I am going to be signing a Rangers player? If he was from Celtic I might think about it.
“I haven’t seen that, I haven’t read that, I will go home and have a look and see where that has come from.
“It is the first I have heard of it.”
What has he said that’s got anything to do with religion ?What would it be called then? Why wouldn't he sign a player from another football club?
That's why this no-mark prick is managing Bristol Rovers and with an attitude like that, he'll be lucky to even hold on to that lofty position!Could you imagine the pish we would be reading here if a rangers supporting manager had said that about Celtic

We would but when has a Rangers Manager said such a thing? To me, there is a line of professionalism which we seem to get but which they cannot see.If it was from a rangers supporting manager, we would be loving it. Let's not pretend otherwise.
You can't put it to the side it clearly states *He said tongue in cheek:all joking aside but if a manager says he'll never buy from a certain club then that becomes his and his clubs signing policy till he leaves
like ours and the mhanks we'll never buy a first team player from one another.
rivals in the league or for others reasons but thats the way it is

He's still a prick.For the easily offended, those wanting to be offended, those that are permanently raging and those that have not read the article but are still raging.
Here is the bit the OP deliberately missed out.
*He said tongue in cheek: “From Rangers? Rangers? Are you actually telling me I am going to be signing a Rangers player? If he was from Celtic I might think about it.
“I haven’t seen that, I haven’t read that, I will go home and have a look and see where that has come from.

Settle down to a simmer girls.
He'd fit right in on this forum with that attitude.If he is going to discount players on what team they play for I don't see him lasting in management very long.
He'd also have his character assassinated by the press.If it was from a rangers supporting manager, we would be loving it. Let's not pretend otherwise.
