You suspended him penny pinching as always and it back fired, you thought with campo back you would be safe and it all went up in your face, Peacock wanted rid of Kelly to help with cap space and as normal instead of biting the bullet and moving him out in the right way to another club you tried sacking him to save on his outstanding contract.

Lets face it Peacock has made some terrible decisions in only one year, getting Webster in who has no SL coaching experience, another penny pinching appointment, the first time Peacock is offered another role at another club he will be gone I heard he applied to Leeds only a few weeks ago so much for his 5 year plan your been taken down the garden path stop the bitterness towards our club and look at your own without the red rose tinted glasses on

Was Radford a penny pinching appointment aswell then?

To suggest Rovers sacked Kelly purely as a financial measure is naive in the extreme, as anyone with even a passing understanding of employment law will tell you.

Kelly was suspended for a last straw act, which was at the end of a long line of previous misdemeanours. I applaud the club for taking a principled stand against a very disruptive bloke, who had lost support from all his work colleagues at that point.

His dismissal would have been on solid legal grounds otherwise we'd be looking at an unfair dismissal case from fat lad.

I think it's fairly obvious to anyone with a brain that Kelly has been a bit of knob during his time at Rovers, could be the last chance for Kelly, a bit like Chase at Cas.

Apart from return late from Oz, what did he do that warranted his dismissal?

Put a pack of Menos in Hudge's Diet Coke and it fizzed all over his brand new John Smedley jumper.

Hudge went chicken oriental and Kung Fu chopped Alby right on the corn rows, Alby went off in a strop and chucked Mike's Remington out the window.

don't disagree with anything you say in your second sentence but to say it was not for financial reasons they took the decision to suspend him at that point in your season, that is naïve, rovers saw a way out of the rest of his contract without paying him off they couldn't play him if that was there intention after they suspended him or they would have deemed to have put the matter to bed but by keeping him on suspension and then sacking him they walk away without comp, but was it the right decision? would he have made the difference in those last few games? I think he would so to me it was a poor call and may have cost you your SL place and financially a million quid one of a string of stinking calls made by your management team in my opinion, but if you genuinely think it was the right call fair enough like ou say its your club this is just a discussion forum that's all

But he was such lover that the entire squad basically refused to play with him so the suspension ( which even with hindsight) was absolutely the right call. I'm not having the cash argument, this was about principles and not allowing someone to do what they liked without consequences.

Knew alf macklin through local darts in 2000s very good chucker and a good bloke.dont really remember his playing days tho.

Craig, he worked with my wife at Akzo Nobel, he was a great darts player, as you say. As a winger he was my favourite player when I was a kid, simply because the first game my father took me to was versus Rovers in the mid 70's and Super Alf scored the match winner in the far corner late on in the game.
