Just listening to Copps interview and thought his response re Flynn staying on as manager was a bit non-committal. I know the decision isn't his but he didn't exactly give a ringing endorsement. Says he'll probably stay on "in some capacity".
Maybe I'm just being a conspriracy theorist, but this along with JR's previous vague response on the issue makes me think someone could already be lined up. Obvious name that springs to mind is Warnock, given his relationship with JR - what are people's thoughts on that?

DR4E,
May be I am a softy when it comes to a person getting my loyalty but in BF his only weakness his lack of dynamic talk, now where have I said that before?
If I was to hear NW and BF talk football for the first time I too would probably go for NW. But the proof is in the pudding BF took over and proved he could not only do the job he pulled in two key players to achieve success.
All that glitters is not gold as Wolves have found out.
JR GIVE BF THE JOB HE HAS EARNED IT.

Flynn has contacts with all the big clubs.
If he can get us one or two players like Lundstram on loan that would make a difference to the squad for next season.
When BF took over we were second, if we had finished third or worse he would have got slated.
He took us to the top and we played good football in getting there.
With a new pitch next season and a few improvements to the squad what is to say we cant give a good account of ourselves?
I have a feeling however that JR may consider bringing in a "bigger"name and ask BF to revert back to the role he was doing for Saunders.
My understanding is that BF prefers that role.

OK,
I have looked at all the replays of the penalty decision a 1000 times and I come to the conclusion the ref gave it for dangerous play, Mc's foot made contact with the Brentford players head.
Just for the record can anyone shed any light on that great decision?
It looked like hand ball from our end but dangerous play from the Brentford end.

Alex, I agree BF did/has done nothing wrong, I'm just not convinced he's manager material. Don't know what it is about him, he's done well for us. I'm just not convinced.
I too have watched the penalty decision numerous times, I still have no idea what it's awarded for, but without it, we would probably not have been champions, so, if I'm honest, I couldn't care less what he gave it for!!!

Its just for the record really. I have emailed the Ref's association for the correct decision and awaiting a reply.
I think the most accurate position is the camera from the Brentford end which I think shows Mc's arm no where near the ball but his foot makes contact with the Brentford players head who then plays dead but I am still not sure.
It proves to be the first penalty I am now happy it was given against Donny, what a day it was!

It was never a penalty in 2013 years, as for the handball also no penalty, they happen all the time but, the spot kick that was given???? The Rovers player was entitled to go for the high ball, the 4 Brentford players inc the one who dived were within about 4 square feet of each other, the three remaining standing were on that ref like a swarm of Bees(no pun) but at their end and after not giving a possible handball, he had given it...Even the BBC Commentator could not believe it. No penalty and Justice was seen to be done, just watched BBC News (Sport page) Around the Leagues, they are still biased towards Brentford But I did say last week that they would be given a penalty in extra time. That and the result are now HISTORY.

Did anybody miss the League One drama at Griffin Park on Saturday?
You can watch 'that penalty miss' on the BBC Football page. Brentford fans might choose not to.
It still makes great viewing for us Donny fans!

The bbc sport website is currently showing a great video(if you are a Rovers fan) of the incident with a slight bias towards Brentford.
