Be careful, that's a slippery slope you're going down. With great powder comes great responsibility.


Cutting the wage bill was a target Rowe hit well, according to one of the podcasts. Shipping out Buchanan was very much a part of that, I'm guessing.

He's taken that task so seriously that he's ended up taking his own wages off the bill.

He'll be suspended on full pay so far so not yet.... and maybe not at all....

Are the capitals a cryptic message suggesting we should be reading something into that term. Maybe need Gokus help.

I'll leave that for people to google as our friend Zytok has just done, perhaps don't do it on a work laptop or with any children nearby.

That's a REALLY good tip mate

Let's be honest, a lot of people at this club needed/need a rocket up the 'arris. It's been a shambles on and off the pitch for far too long, and if Rowe was kicking off because things weren't done as he liked then I'm all for it (within reason obvs).

I didn't care that Cook wazzed in a lift, and I don't care if JR said he'd bite someones hooter off as long as they're doing the business and learn from their mistakes. We need to be more ruthless in terms of meeting objectives, and I worry we've gone from panto villains DA & AC to the Smashey & Nicey Trust.
If he's done something really bad we're unaware of, fine, get rid. Otherwise, manage him short term and use him to get this club where it needs to be.

Agree with that!

Precisely. Buchanan was old and not good enough. JR replaced him with Taylor and Whittle who are both younger and superior. There was no room for sentiment last year we were staring the NL north square in its face and personnel had to change. You have to be ruthless sometimes if you want success. Buchanan, or Luke Rawsons dad saying JR is a bit nasty basically means nothing.

There are different ways to do it though…..we all agree Buchanan wasn’t going to fit in but we don’t know how he was released.

Well I've just googled snowballing and nearly spat me coffee out but don't really see the link to him being suspended.

Edit I've just seen another definition of the term which caused the coffee to come down my nose!!!

He was one of the furloughed wasn't he? He was def involved, under Rowe, prior to the lockdown.

Rightly or wrongly there will be quite a few who don’t care whether JR eats a freshly peeled kitten for breakfast as long as the wheels don’t come off the promotion push and if he goes we’ve got to hope form doesn’t drop or it could turn into a difficult atmosphere towards the board

All the rumours I've read suggest the 'nose biting' comment was aimed at Grimes, yet the footage of the incident is filmed as we lined up to take the free kick in which King scored, yet having watched the YouTube footage of the lead up to the free kick and then the taking of the free kick (the in between was cut from the highlights) then Grimes is in the box when the free kick is won, and by the wall when its taken (and scored).

My guess is its aimed towards a maidenhead official/staff member.

Not that I think its the cause of the suspension, though.

I'm going to throw it out there that the video and audio are put together and are not necessarily at the same time.

Got it from a reliable source that Rowe has been definitely sacked.because of fighting with Grimes and losing dressing room. also went on to say club talking to Halifax manager .and that cookie said he would come back and help club out . and before anyone asks I can't say who's told me . As I promised that I wouldn't do so. so its no good asking me . hopefully club will issue a statement soon .

Out of all the rumours and assumptions on here.
The one where JR killed George Foster, rolled him up in an old frost cover and dumped him in the canal is more believable than this.

Any decision to sack him will not be made lightly...the guys making the decision are as big a fans of the club as we are on here. They want to see us winning and back in the football league, if they deem it necessary that Rowe should leave then it suggests it was the only decision that could be made.

If that was true... why was he still in charge for the shots game?

The Whistler is our ex-assistant manager. He knows Rowe better than most. Also he appears to have been unceremoniously dumped so he's experienced Rowe's ruthlessness first hand.

No he's not
