Leonard free kick deflected into the net at Huddersfield. 1-0 Peterborough -
Apparently picked up an injury on his first training session after joining them last year. Although he has since been training with their first team squad. Looks like he was injured again during pre season, although did return and play 45 mins last week

They pretty much were in partnership that was the whole idea as stated they'd have their name over the door and the advertising leverage whilst Kentaro/SEM would cover everything else. Of course rules don't allow that kind of co ownership so a simple contract is drawn up instead to cover for it, so co owners no probably not but unofficial partners and maybe initial investors ? Yes very possible. As far as i know there was never any proof of that contract being terminated/paid off/expiring, just some rumours of an alleged court case and out of court settlement. More smoke and mirrors probably but why after that alleged event was some 3rd party bringing in the managers/head coaches and other staff certainly up until Mowbray/Venus/Waggot and co ? The links have remained very much alive imo just well buried now when stuff takes place as it does well away from the club itself who knows who is involved.

@RevidgeBlue picking players you don’t like, one who hasn’t even played a minute yet, to suggest they’re only made to make someone money? That sort of viewpoint dilutes to what went on in those initial years. The stories of Etuhu, Murphy and Pudsey the bear; the millions tied up in those initial seasons, I’d say a huge portion of the 150m the club owes the owners in gift loans.

Rovers “air guitar” competition adjudged “disappointing”… -
Don't know if this is the right thread but stories on the LT and BBC 😯 website about a crackdown on parking on matchdays. Yet more efforts from the Club/ Council/ Local Police to make it as difficult and disheartening as possible to attend games. When I first started watching in the early 70's, the CarPark opposite the Red Brick Theatre and the site now occupied by travellers were available. And crowds then were maybe 50% of what they are even now. Now there's nowhere anywhere that isn't Club owned (and Im assuming a small fortune) and the Council seem to delight in making any usable space "Residents only" for no real reason. They're not private roads and they dont pay for the upkeep thereof so why should they have their cake and eat it? The Council are scumbags, go out of their way to make life difficult for us but the at the sniff of any success, they're the first ones in trying to get a photo opportunity.

They were never in partnership. Venky's granted Kentaro a contract to run the Club on their behalf in the early days although that formal arrangement was shelved fairly quickly after they got burnt is my understanding. There's no doubt though that the general modus operandi has enabled agents to have a beano at the Club's expense over the years and it seems to be getting worse again just recently. Dennis/Baradji/Forshaw x2 /Gueye potentially out on loan. Only one party benefitting out of those transactions, the agents.

Gaffer, the new loans manager is the best striker in the club. He's the only one ever on side when I play a forward ball. -

It’s not helpful when our own fans call fans who don’t want to go until venkys sell a “problem” and constantly call people who leave “snakes” not helpful at all

(VI’s POV) ’The state of that haircut, who does he think he is? If I was still playing, I’d smash the little pansy’. -
Explain to me why three center-halves can't be played, when we have three center-halves available. If one or more get injured or suspended, then the formation has to be changed. I am not saying it is the most favoured system with our available players. But it is playable.

I disagree. You can't expect to play a formation when you have close to zero depth in 3 positions. -
No one in the media shown any interest in this? Usually they like a little guy done wrong story. Would have thought the court of public opinion might out some real pressure on RG, particularly when it filtered to India, I have my doubts they know the details.

I agree with Rovers99 team . TGH seems like a workhorse so definitely starts ahead of Tavares. I'd 100% throw Gudjohnsson straight in, doesn't look short of match fitness and looks more athletic than Ohashi. Looking forward to seeing what Morishita brings...Think our front 4, will work well together, with Kargbo coming on for Hedges to bring some energy. Overall we don't look a bad team, just obvious lack of depth. Take a draw here. -
Nothing clearer mate!! This was very much spelt out in the public domain before The purchase according to this 2010 article. Venkys and Kentaro were in partnership with the club being bought as a window to allow Kentaro to put players in the window! We still could be Operating this model?
