Gary Bowyer next for us....


Going to Bradford according to the same source who broke the news of Hill's sacking this morning.

I think to some extent the David's Diary thing stirred things up. If he hadn't made the comment that he wont be sacking Hill, we would have just carried on regardless not knowing what would happen and Hill would probably still be there, but making that comment prompted a lot of fans to let the club know that they weren't happy and I think it finally hit home that it was a case of get rid of Hill or lose half of your fans and they had to do something.

Although we had some good times under Hill, I think in the end, it was the right decision and although it will take a lot for anyone to turn things round, I am feeling more optimistic about Saturday now and looking forward to it. Hopefully the missing fans will start to come back. We need to be the 12th man for the rest of the season though and get behind them in a massive way.

Bowyer will be confirmed at Bradford by lunchtime is my guess.

Only hand relief for the Hill outers.

Hopefully Bottomley is the next to go..


Only way to get shut of Bottomly is a take over coup......

I'm not so sure Bradford & Hill would be a good fit.

They have a very competitive budget and with that comes pressure. Hilly has no experience of managing a big budget (in relation to other clubs in the Championship, Barnsley were what we are to League One) and Bradford fans aren't exactly patience personified. They certainly won't settle for being ostracised like 'Dale fans have been at times.


Considering they have had 7 managers since the start of last season, I`m pretty sure they wouldn`t have much patience with Hill if he didn`t get it right from the off.

He isn`t a fit for a big club and lets face it, they are as big as any club in this division bar Sunderland. I think he`s more likely to go down a division, that is where most of his success has come.

I`m sorry it has come to this but for the sake of the club it has to be the right decision.

Thank god, all my worries have gone away following your post confirming it is the right decision.

I cant help but feel this is going to be a case of be careful what you wish for.
Unless we pull an absolute rabbit out of the hat with the next appointment I don't think things will get any better any time soon.

Need to support the club now, Hill has gone


You’re in no position to be telling anyone how to support the club following on from your suggested boycott.

'Rochdale Football Club prides itself on the way it is run and we do not make kneejerk reactions or decisions. We are aware that results this season, especially at home, have been difficult to accept, but we, the Board of Directors, all believe in Keith, his backroom staff and players, and they have our full confidence and continued backing.'


How a 2-0 defeat at the league leaders changes that is beyond belief.


That statement was one of two things...

a) Bullshit
b) Not representative of the opinion of the chairman

I know a lot of people on here have a very poor opinion of David Bottomley, but I struggle to see how he would make such a statement knowing Keith Hill was on his way out. Some have accused him of it being the David Bottomley show, and all about him, so it doesn't make sense for him to make an arse of himself a week before they pulled the trigger.

How did O'Rourke know so quickly was he at the ground? maybe Fitz can comment.


O'Rourke gets his news from agents. I'll say no more.

We could be a long time back in L2
Well Done the Board you bunch of back stabbing b.stards


Keith Hill has been an excellent manager for RAFC. He has given supporters some of the best times ever in our history . He has transformed the club into an outfit to be taken seriously. Yes he has become a club legend. BUT nothing lasts forever. Our results and his personal faults over the last 2 years have been unacceptable.
At any other football club he would have been "shown the door" a long time ago. I admire what he has done for the club and I am sorry to see him depart in this manner, but unfortunately it is the right decision.
Your description of the board in my opinion is totally unjustified. How can they be backstabbers when you look at the facts?

In fairness, the dreaded vote of confidence is so called for a reason. It's just bizarre timing for me

Well that was to get rid of a now ex employee, and it was a question. Are you waiting to see where Hill ends up so you can take your support there?

Why not wait for the full story instead of going off half cocked. If the board had to wait until after the Luton game to get confirmation of a replacement or negotiations with Hill regarding his contractual pay off went on longer than expected, then they are two possible scenarios.

No. It was all opinion & personal observations. Oldham didn't appoint Scholes until they had what they deemed an easy run of Games. United sacked Mourinho after the Liverpool game, followed by what was deemed an easy run of games.

But if you would just prefer to respond to my posts & be a cock then crack on.

Would have taken relegation and let Hilly have another crack at League 2 myself.

So if the rumours are correct and Bradford sign Hill, I wonder if he will do what he did at Barnsley and start poaching our players as soon as the next transfer window opens?

I watched the post match interview last night and thought at the time that something had changed, he looked a little sad and there were words coming out that I hadnt heard before about being angry and annoyed by player mistakes. I wonder if he was told it was win or bust at Luton?
Whoever made the decision to sack him either has a very big pair or has been working on a plan for a while. Or maybe Keith just didnt get on with Bottom and the rest of the new board.

Right decision without a doubt, strange timing though, should have been done a long time ago but then again things have got much worse since the new year results wise.

No-one with half a brain can complain , 9 losses out of 11 would see any manager out of a job, but added to innane hocus-pocus ramblings in interviews, full of rambling nonsense and totally lacking substance, freezing out those who have a different opinion and a bullying management style, its no surprise. Too many on here are living in the past, yes, we have a lot to be grateful for, but the last 18 months have been turgid by and large, refusal to play best players in correct positions and hostile reaction to fans when challenged shows how much he has lost the plot , perhaps he believed his own hype and his immortality. He is a shadow of what he once was as a manger and is not bigger than the club.

Glad he has gone, not a nice person, obnoxious at times and liked to humiliate others, eventually this has led to where we are now, players and fans lacking confidence and hope.

I wish him well where he ends up next but my personal opinion is good riddance to a toxic and increasingly unhinged manager, perhaps he needs a good rest tbh , best result for all concerned, thanks for the good times but things turned sour a good while ago, onwards ...

Seeing some posts about how much money will be paid out in compensation - any business worth their salt will have a termination clause in the contract. It shouldn’t be 3 years wages

Oldham had to wait until the FA/Football league had looked into whether his share holding in Salford would cause issues later down the line not due to waiting for a convenient spot in the fixtures opening up.
