| Quote ="Mrs Barista"This is not intended as trolling, but an observation. Morgan has done an outstanding job at Rovers. His use in particular of overseas players has been excellent and particularly in the early days his tactical insight to work over opposition teams was really impressive. He's made some hard calls to offload players with time left on their contracts. I think he's not seen eye to eye with the board on a few key issues, though, being the retention of Cooke after their first big fall-out, but more recently the Mason debacle. IMO Mason was a signing driven not by the coach but by the commercial department, and Morgan gives the impression he likes to be in absolute control of his squad. This season his overt energy and commitment seem a notch or two lower than in previous seasons. I think the two points are linked. To use a Peter Sharpism, he seems to have lost his mojo a bit.
If I were a Rovers fan, I'd be disappointed, but reasonably ambivalent about losing Morgan as he's probably ready for a new challenge, but would be more concerned about who, if anyone, could end up following him playerwise. Given that his only 2 signings so far are 2011's most cited scapegoats, Netherton and Hodgson, maybe he's going early on an Agent Morgan mission for Wigan/Cas/whoever he's linked with next.

i think you have it spot on!! can't see him moving on, as he is not setting the world alight this season, it's hard to think who would want him

| All we've known is slow, but continued 'progress' on and off the pitch and when the chips are down, it's obvious everyone's going to become more irrate. I'm not saying Morgan's becoming a victim of his own success but there's some massive factors this year which have to be taken into consideration which explains this downfall.
On the other hand, what about the 'fans' that have clearly shown over the years that beating Hull FC, and twice at that, is more than acceptable as a target and it doesn't matter where Rovers finish?! Are they still calling for Morgan's head?

| To be fair, it's his first poor season at Rovers. Realistically, who are you going to get in that is a better coach?.
Rovers have been quite fortunate in that your main ball players have been injury free over the last two years.
Losing Dobson for 8 weeks was a turning point in your season I think. I'm surprised at the level of criticism Morgan's getting to be honest.
