Fans have to mentally prepare for it, but the Club will do nothing other than slashing costs. Means nothing to them

I read Russell Martin is also being considered. That would be hilarious.

I dont buy that at all. Rightly or wrongly the takeover was passed at the relevant time 15-16 years ago and as long as any potential purchasers are legitimate and get approved by the Authorities, what concern is it of theirs?

If you had the millions needed to buy a football club, you would more than likely be talking directly to the owners themselves. If you were serious about buying it, and had the necessary clout, you would not be lied to by one man and it not get back to the owners. Obviously I don't know, but common sense tells me that the chances of a serious buyer being told no by Pasha without the owners' knowledge, and then the owners subsequently not finding out when someone on here supposedly knows is fairly remote.

I genuinely believe, we are the worst team in the League... No point counting Sheffield Wednesday.

Interesting...is he still here, or is that the only photo they could find of him?

Rumours that Rowett is on the list for the next Leicester manager. Would be a sensible appointment for them to guide them through the next few months especially if they get a points deduction.

Difference is with the North End scenario is simple they made it known quite a while ago that they were open to selling or taking on investment from the right people. That has never happened here and even if someone had serious interest they'd have to get a direct line into one of the head Rao's otherwise it doesn't get past the various self interested buffer zones. Even then they might get told don't even approach us without 100 million on the table. By the end of this decade we'll be one of the smallest clubs in Lancashire, that should please the 'natural level' brigade.

The battle is to finish about 2 of Oxford, Pompey and Charlton as others said. all 4 of us poor teams, interestingly Charlton are at Leicester for the early kick off Saturday so we’ll go into our game with a chance to go above them with a win or could be starting 6 behind but in turn with the points deduction that could pull Leicester in but they’ll have enough to get back out.

I'd suggest that the identity of the players' agent/agency is the more significant issue here than whether the player is the best we can get. Yes lots of options around in the lower leagues. But is their agent friendly with the regime? If not move on.

He'd have wanted more than 5k a week though and Rudy had already pulled his masterstroke with Gueye.

Lots still don’t get this. The takeover was so corrupt that they simply dare not allow a deep dive into the accounts. It’s the only thing that makes any sense.

Gestede will be contemplating if it was his elbow that he wiped with the Andrex this morning.

You've no more idea than I have, (none) but I'm not sure why you find it that hard to believe, who'd want to keep him on if the Club was taken over?

Not that I'd have been enthused, after he had just scored 7 in 38 in League One. Of course, all that matters is that you get them right in the end. In the summer it wouldn't have screamed bargain though.

Pure guesswork.

Norwich should never have been in such deep trouble - their squad is far too good for that. Manning really screwed up there. I wasn't convinced Clement was the man for the job there, but fair play, he's really turned them around. They're still going strong even with Sargent basically persona-non-grata at the moment. WBA also have a squad that shouldn't really be at the wrong end of the table, but their managerial strategy is questionable. Pretty much just rolling the dice on novices and hoping one will work out. We'll see whether Ramsay is the answer there. Us, Oxford, Portsmouth and Charlton will almost certainly be down there until the bitter end. Only one of the four hasn't been in League One in the recent past, which tells you everything about how Pasha, Gestede and Owen have wrecked us this season.

And to be playing against some godawful Chinese team in a friendly.

Is Carter not back in contention now?

On what do you base this opinion?

He won’t be. Don’t forget, here is a guy that cares so much about Rovers, that he refused to play. Getting us relegated, will not bother him in the slightest. Here we all are, spending out evenings worrying about our club, he won’t have even thought about it tonight. The man is a first class clown.

Championship quality: GK: Toth, Pears DL: Ribeiro, Pickering DR: Alebiouso DC: Carter, Wharton DMC: Trodstadt AML: AMR: Hedgen/Jorgensen MC: Baradji AMC: Cantwell ST: Gudjohnsen Squad's absolutely vile. Pears is back up, We don't play left backs, Carter, Wharton and Hedges out. So that leaves us with seven championship quality players. The rest of the cast are league 1/2 standard. Awful. Of those I've said I think are championship quality- I'm not saying I think they're good or particularly useful. We've no ball carrying players, no pace, no creativity, no strength or guile up top, no aggression, no fight, no cohesion, no obvious pattern of play- well, other than just running around wasting energy "pressing" Ohashi is probably one of the least clinical strikers I've ever seen. The lack of spirit, cohesion etc is there for all to see. Just a shit side full of shit players that have no bond. Great work!

Not feasible, in my opinion

Remember when we were saying Rovers managers whose surname began with "I"

You'd think so wouldn't you? That's how we made big money on Szmodics. Maybe as modest as they might be, the wage demands rule us out.
