The gamble was that the primary problem was Kenny and removing him would restore some organisation to the side and motivate the players. As it happens, it turns out the malaise runs far deeper and there are a significant number of players who aren't earning their wages. It worked for Chelsea last season but not on a much smaller scale for Rovers.
Laws of to Hartlepool ?

Betting on the new Hartlepool United manager has been suspended after an influx of bets on former Scunthorpe boss Brian Laws.
Bookmakers SkyBet withdrew the betting market this afternoon after a number of new bets on Laws. The ex-Burnley gaffer had been 5/1 to take charge at Victoria Park before shortened dramatically to 1/5 overnight.
SkyBet said on Twitter: ''We've suspended betting on next Hartlepool boss after seeing numerous bets on Brian Laws.''
It is thought Laws was strongly considered for the position last year after the departure of Mick Wadsworth, although Pools opted for Neale Cooper instead on that occasion.

I'd have thought he'd hang on until Alan Knill is finally ousted at Scunthorpe.
Word is Scunthorpe are thinking of a second stint in charge for Baraclough.
The big question is, would Baraclough leave Sligo?
If they keep a high budget and are playing Champions League football it'll be hard to leave for a club that's seriously struggling in League 1.
To be honest I could see baraclough leaving after all managers like him admit from the get go they are only using this league as a stepping stone. After all is a few games in europe worth more than getting the chance in england again?
Must have been confusing Hartlepool with Scunthorpe, proving once again that bookies know the price of everything, and nothing about football.Originally Posted by bullit

Congrats to Laws on one of the easiest LOI cash grabs ive seen in a long time. Well, since Peter Gray and Brian Shelley.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
