They've got a 12 point cushion from the team outside the play-off spots - it's not that much of a risk.

They’ll be the first to crow about how good life is post Venkys if they ever do clear off. Self awareness of David Brent.

But when the assets run out - which they pretty much have apart from Toth and Alebiosu, they’re going to have to put their hands in their own pockets - albeit at a lower level. I can’t see them doing that for too long unless said costs drop dramatically.

Bet it was Rev's vote that clinched it 🤣🤣🤣

At least our nosedive has stopped the see you next Tuesday from gloating to his LinkedIn network about his marvellous new signings, and how shrewd an operator he is.

Oof, yeah they seem to have blown it. Played 4 more games than 2nd placed Rochdale and are 2 points behind them, 3 points behind top of the table York who also have a game in hand on them. They appear at risk of not even making the playoffs.

Kick backs😉, massaging his own ego, having free rein ect. The list is endless 😡

We can't get everyone to boycott 🤷‍♂️

I took it as that we never finished anywhere near the play offs. 8th and 6 points off it we finished, not a million miles away but a disaster considering where we were at the end of Jan. Another case of needing a bit of help in Jan to see us over the line that season.

Seems some Carlisle fans want Hughes out there; could genuinely see him back here. How we’ve both fallen!

Agreed. I've been saying this for the last two years!

Exactly the same I reckon. They aren't going anywhere, ever. Costs will just be cut to be comparative with being a level lower.

Waggot was the public face of Rovers as a CEO should be but he was only half a CEO behind the scenes i'd wager. He took the brunt of the stick whilst the others hid in the shadows and he did his best often to hide as well although maybe he was gagged who knows. This is the club who went to lengths to hire a director of communications and then stopped him from communicating ! So they finally get Waggot out the door as the fall guy, after finishing 7th, then embark on wrecking the stability at least his presence provided. The last advert for a new CEO read basically as a stadium manager even Nixon confirmed this so it's obvious who is running everything now so they should be held accountable for everything. Starting Saturday.

Change of formation essential. Wing backs hasn’t worked without the two Ryan’s. Need to switch to four at the back. Would go with Ribeiro as best of a bad bunch at left back. Reluctantly put McLoughlin in. Pratt deserves his place. Forshaw over TGH. Powell impressed me on Tuesday. May be good enough to scrape a draw.

Don't forget Pearsy for £500k

I think the biggest difference maker we can make as fans is to not buy a season ticket for next year. Simple to do, hits them right in the pocket and will panic the club when they realise they will be playing in an empty stadium.

Whilst our 21's and first team are pretty much the same thing these days, I've wondered for a while how we have not been able to get more young players out playing professional football. We clearly see the (cheap) path of Academy to first team, surely some professional football would be beneficial before coming into Championship fixtures.

Oh yeah absolutely. I'm convinced that all three of Pasha, Gestede and previously Waggott are being paid in part based on how much money they save / make for the Indians. Certainly in the cases of Gestede and Waggott I think the Indians only agreed to put them on the payroll on the understanding both would pay for themselves on money saved.

Imagine employing someone as naive and incompetent as that as your negotiator! He literally gave away all his leverage (and probably his annual salary) in one sentence. Multiply that by the number of deals he’s done. Just who the hell gave this no mark the job? Perhaps we should send him ‘Negotiation for Dummies’ or ‘ The Art of the Deal’.😂😂😂

Couldn't agree more. Time to realise we score at a rate of under 1 goal a game and that we need to not concede to have a chance of anything.

Never anywhere near? Pretty sure his last season we were I think for long periods we were in the top 4 if memory serves me right and the the typical rovers blow out happened

Yea pretty much my thoughts on melton

Oh yeah completely agree. It's the only set of players I could cobble together that at least might make it difficult for the opposition. It certainly isn't scoring any goals. We're just far too easy to play against with Cantwell, Baradji, McLoughlin etc in the side.

Completely agree. Whenever I met him he struck me as an extremely knowledgeable football person.

Obviously we knew anyway, but it does lift the curtain to what an unprofessional/out of its depth set-up it is.
