'Zero respect' - How Bristol Rovers fans reacted to Graham Coughlan's unveiling at Mansfield Town

Bristol Rovers fans have had mixed reactions to Graham Coughlan's unveiling as Mansfield Town manager.

Coughlan officially departed the Gas today and was this afternoon unveiled as Stags boss, claiming the chairman's ambition, along with a desire to move home with his family, was what attracted him.

It left Rovers fans with mixed feelings, with some unable to begrudge him a move to League Two, and others disappointed at how the departure was handled.

Lee Stinchcombe: Can’t blame him. We lack ambition and always have. Need someone to put their money where their mouth is and sort the stadium out and the show some ambition.

Daniel: You're welcome to him. The football was absolutely dire.

Connor Carter: Good Luck GC! Cheers for last season! Hope it all works out for you and your family.

Craig Sperring: Not bitter! Just very disappointed with the way he has gone about leaving our club, many fans didn't like him because of the way he treated Rovers legends and his constant dig at the fans. At the end of the day if he doesn't want to be at Rovers, you're welcome to him.

Shaun Kirkpatrick: All the very best - not a particularly exciting brand of football but his results at Rovers have been decent. Fans never really warmed to him at the Mem either - only since he said he was considering moving on weirdly!

Lee Harris: Had a lot of time for what this man did for us last year and this year do far. The way he's handled this whole affair though has left me with zero respect for this guy.

David Flewellen: Not even actual sheep look this sheepish.
