Re: Do you think Buckle regrets leaving us now?

Talking to my freind who works with Buckle at Rovers, who was with the coaching team at Torquay also i have picked up a few things.
From what i can understand, Buckle doesnt regret leaving us as for him it was the right chance to move on. He does think he could have taken us up one more step if he stayed but he left so it doesnt matter.
Does he regret going to Rovers, again i would say no. What manager doesnt want to go somewhere where he can have more resorces (eg money, better players ect) Its not going perfectly so far but its bound it pick up.
I just feel a manager should be given a chance to do what he wants for a few seasons. You cant expect someone to hit the ground running straight off, like any manager they need time to build there squad. Thats where football has lost its ways if SAF took over Man Utd today and had the start he had all them years ago he would have been gone already. Yes i know he almost got sacked, but if it was in todays game he would have got sacked.
Need to look at Wenger at Arsenal, SAF at United, Big Sam at Bolton and Alan Curb at Charlton. They all had time to build what they wanted and they all did really well.
Back on Topic, if Buckle finished the season anywhere other than relegated then he should stay. I got no doubts they will be at least mid table but that wont be good enough for the fans. Just like our season, take mid table and the Manager knows what he has to do to improve. Remove the players not good enough and add players where they are weaker. You dont just think Southend, Cheltenham and Burton has just got amazing over night, they all have had time to build a squad good enough to play there football and do well.
I do hope for Rovers sake the board give Buckle the time as we all know he can do well. We had many bad runs before christmas every season and we never finished badly. Buckle has left now and Lings the manager and im slowly losing this hate towards him. At the end of the day its thanks to Buckle were even in League 2. Of course i want to finish above them in the league and beat them to rub it in. Rovers need some stability as you cant keep sacking manager every 6 months, you just wont ever get anywhere.
