Own ground or not, this year we'd be a viable option for any manager with lower football league experience - in play-offs, Leicester to come. Do well in league and cup over next six months and it will look great on a cv and perhaps springboard to even greater things. Think Flynny would be silly leave now and can't imagine he would.

The phrase I used on this MB when some suggested that Joss Labadie would not return was " never say never".
I think the same is now equally valid.

Surely the attraction of managing a League One club would be dependent on them being in that league next season. Would the thought of being in a relegation fight for the rest of this season be appealing to Flynn?

Flynny took on a Newport squad nailed on for relegation, turned it around and look at us now.

I would be surprised if he is not looking at the Bristol squad and wondering if he can do the same again.

What would look better on his CV? Taking County up or keeping a higher profile club like Rovers in League 1.

It's a gamble either way but I'm sure it's one he's weighing up.

Cotterill is now back to favourite, evens, with Flynn out at 6/1.

Let's hope it stays that way.

Someone put a fiver on

last time I checked Bristol Rovers were on track to be relegated by 9 points....
When Flynny took over as our manager we were on track to be relegated by 15 points....

But I hope Flynny & Bristol Rovers remember that was ONE DIVISION LOWER than where Rovers now are.
Could Mike Flynn make the upgrade?..... expensive gamble for Rovers if they get it wrong.

Flynny also had the advantage of knowing the County squad when he was appointed and knew they would work their socks off for him.

Might take a little longer to settle in at Rovers.

I’m with Girl Saturday on this one and my attitude in work was the same . The one exception was when I saw a post I really wanted and applied for it, when I accepted it my current employer offered me a considerably bigger salary to stay but I couldn’t and wouldn’t do so because I had already promised that I’d take it. I may be a fool, but I’m my own fool.
I accept Flynny will go somewhere, sometime but I’m not sure the Rovers would be that great a choice imho especially with the season we’re having this year possibly adding a high sheen to his reputation, who knows ? Just my opinion.

rovers would be a good move for him but if he stuck it out here and finished the season high up in the league or maybe even play offs he would get much better offers its a gamble for him

He's been over to see them a few times recently. I think that maybe it's a little too early for him to move on, especially with the Leicester game coming and the promise of more funds available in January.

Fingers crossed he stays but this time I wouldn't be surprised if he moved on.

Looking at the odds,they have Mark Hughes,Sam Alladyce,Steve Bruce on there.Do they just pluck names out of the air or do people actually waste their money on these guys.

If I put a tenner on Lord Lucan he would be 2nd favourite

I know what you mean. A couple of years back some gormless eijit bet on Leicester winning the Premier League.

Oh hang on............
