Lol, I got home 21.40, though did speak after the forum to a couple of people, so in theory I was there for over 3 hours

Did anyone from the club, listen with passion and conviction ?

Not mine- meeting started at 630pm, I was at my car for 820pm.

Whilst, this isn't exactly high praise- I do think Waggott was more competent, but I think Suhail has the ear of the owners.

The risk of "going for it" is that you might get promoted then instantly relegated and sacked I suppose. Easier and a lot less hassle in the long run to plod on indefinitely in the lower reaches of the Championship with no pressure or expectations of success on you.

Most of the let posters are as thick as pig shit

One of you needs a new watch.

'Build slowly' when in the position we were in is just insane spoon fed club propaganda by those who benefit most from the secure employment and financial re-embursment a mid table forever Championship club provides for them. It's akin to saying no i won't take the fantastic early retirement package iv'e been offered and take a chance on a new job. i'd rather work on my current wages another 20 years because i feel that would make more sense.

It's started already. Seemingly according to Nixon on his Patreon page we're ready to offer Hyam a new deal. Doesn't float my boat but might placate some people I suppose.

That all sounds very encouraging. In general, do you feel it's more useful having Suhail there than Waggott, not as useful or no difference whatsoever?

That Rover End Dude is either the most obvious Club plant of all time or clinically insane. Sticks out like a sore thumb. Always amongst the first to comment on anything that happens and always toes the party line. Prior to the January transfer window he didn't want us spending any money and in his eyes putting the Club's financial future at risk. He wanted to build slowly. However that works.

We have also lost a lot better and recovered.

The Real Thing - You To Me Are Everything

His arm must be tired.

Whatever you think my intention was I will deny it 😁😁

You've already highlighted why there'll be moans either way, he SHOULD have been tied down nearly every one of the ones walked for free would've committed earlier IF the club had shown them something. If you invest in players to grow and sell then it's an absolute priority to always make sure you have something in place to protect that asset the excuse of a bit of poor form doesn't wash. At the very least you'll get your modest invest back if they are protected with a contract but don't actually fulfil the potential you had in mind. Otherwise it's pointless we might as well just exist entirely on loans and freebies on low wages.

I agree, he also seems to want the club to be cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face. If the future is a fan owned or least local investment shared with that, then Rovers need to be in the realm of being fiscally safe, not adding more debt to the owners, who seemingly have a ridiculous expectation to get back their investments.

#6 Dire Straits were in the midst of a residency at Wembley Arena & moved down the road to play Live Aid on the Saturday.

It's a lose-lose scenario so it doesn't really matter. We sell him now and he's replaced by an inferior player. Money won't get reinvested. We wait a year and he goes on a free, same situation just one year later. We also have a player in the team not fully committed because he's already mentally detached. Just the usual where we get shafted either way.

Normally I would complain about losing important players on free transfers. Of course in normal circumstances a few million in now rather than nothing in a year would be an important factor, because it could affect our budgets and FFP compliance. But we are well past normal here. As above, we aren't interested in getting better, reinvesting, protecting our assets. We have made no effort to keep him - we want rid. Normal footballing considerations that just about every other club and fanbase focuses on are not in play here. We are in a crisis situation and different rules apply. The reason we want rid isn't because they want to improve the team or spend his money on new players. They want rid because the owners want to save themselves money and are liquidating our assets to do so. The sooner they can't do that the nearer we get to breaking point. The less money they are able to collect from player trading the more they have to cough up in Pune and the more has to go into the Indian bond. I don't want us to sell another player for as long as this Regime owns and runs us. I want this club to drain them of funds to the point they can't do it any more and have to give it up. I want the whole rotten setup to collapse as soon as possible. I am living in daily fear of Adam Wharton leaving Palace, because it probably means a windfall of £6-10 million for this lot which will be like winning the lottery. Unfortunately a lot of people still think this sort of cash is going to make a difference to us and our squad. It clearly isn't.

As would I. Both scenarios suck, but I'd rather we raised £0 from the sale in the hope it expedites the removal of Venkys and/or Suhail.

Considering how chaotic they are at the top, Watford are making some impressive signings...Fans backlash re managerial positions and rightly so, but the owners are reacting and spending. Ours have been asleep for over a decade.

If we don’t sell, you’re the same person who will be complaining about us letting him go on a free next season.
