'If it was a normal club ' he wouldn't have made the final interview stage !

The two are clearly linked!

Of course we can do better and after today I think he should go My issue is it will still be Gestede ,Owen and Pasha picking the next guy so can we really expect much better to be brought in? The replacement will still have to read from the same script as Ismael and it will be a similar desperado like Karanka or they will gamble on Vignal from the under 23s. Gestede and Owen should be out the door with him.They chose him and they have led the way with this data led approach to a raft of cheap and shit signings. Any owner with any interest in "their" club would be asking serious fucking questions be surprised if ours even know we are a point outside the bottom 3

‘You suggest someone then’ is such a pathetic comeback, what you’d expect from a ten year old.

Always a bad sign when a manager keeps putting the emphasis bad refereeing decisions. Ismael does it every week. Pure deflection. As if we've won that game otherwise. We're is serious trouble.

Passed that one into the top corner nicely

@USABlue The shirt came back to me today undelivered. Send me your address on DM and I’ll send it again.

So predictably it seems there is a clique of people out there who are against removing Ismael because 'we wouldn't / couldn't get anyone better' and the usual challenges to people to name options who would realistically come here and do a better job than Ismael in these circumstances. It's more or less the same rationale people come out with for not calling for Venkys out, because they've convinced themselves that there's no other owner or group in the world who could bring more to the party than Venkys. Suggesting those clamouring for a Regime change should first name who would be interested in buying Rovers (of course that's impossible). So presumably then we are just supposed to sit back and enjoy the ride, unable to change anything about the rotten ownership and management of the club because we are the only club in the world that cannot attract new or better ownership or management. It seems part of this is based on prospective managers / owners not going into the media and declaring an interest in Rovers. Such a shame that some people are so negative in their view of Rovers and performance of the club that there is such insistence that this is the best we can hope for. Just accept it and get on with your life. I almost wish I could have such an attitude but I can't. You see in professional support that sort of attitude is unacceptable. There is always a way to improve and get better and you should never accept failure no matter what the causes.

Saw on social media that Leonard was taken to hospital today after a nasty head injury but the lad has posted himself that he's okay 🤞

In a way it's refreshing to hear a manager speak his mind so openly (regarding Glasner's post match comments), but on the other hand... I don't know if that's going to endear him to many chairmen. I'm not sure how many clubs would be comfortable bringing in a manager who may lash out at the board if decisions are made that he doesn't agree with. I had a gander on the Palace forum and their fans don't seem to be too pleased with Glasner's conduct - and that's putting it mildly.

One from today, at a club that’s seen tough times, but has come out of the other side. Keep the faith, our time will come again.

We're not winning. If Jorgensen starts, you never know, we might get 1 on target.

Well, it looks like it IS his job i.e. to take us down...

Going to this as I have never been to the Liberty. Still tempted to find a good pub and just stay in there in lieu.

And Rudy still thinks he’s nailing the job

The manager is just another name in an ever growing list of "if he was at a normal club would he still have a job". We are struggling with numbers but this guy isn’t helping things either!

If we don’t get a goal scorer then there’s a fair chance we are down. If we get one we’ve got a fighting chance of scraping survival.

But what is the point of financial clout if you don’t use it wisely?

I can't even get angry any more. What's the point, it doesn't change anything. I expect it's to be crap. It saves disappointment. We've been run like a joke shop for fifteen years. I think this season yes we're going down. If not this season (and there won't be much in it) then next season. And that would really be it for a long long time. We're may even drop another division after that. Will venues ever for the decent thing and fuck off? Have they ever done anything decent? Bearing on mind you never know who's coming after them, at least of wet got the bastards gone we can start again. But our agency in this situation is precisely zero. Living on hope it's not a good position to be in. I think in the end, they will actually kill the club, given enough time. And even the singles will be sad then, because they'll have no-one left to hate

That Thomas Freddie is doing my nut in on Facebook, not normally one to engage with the nonsense but after another demoralising defeat today I've bitten. Anyone know what his game is?!

You’ve argue your point and then answered it yourself, pretty much like most of us pal.

Even Rudy knows that but he wont admit it to others, including his employer.

I think it's really hard to discuss on the other forum because whenever I've asked a question it's been avoided. Everyone on there is saying why don't I go find an owner to buy Rovers? Like come on, I don't think there's an understanding on workings at Rovers and myself not involved in football finding a buyer. I'd say they're way way more offensive there than on here. Drog personally attacked me when I wasn't being personal.

If we can’t bring in a replacement LWB then we must switch formations and go with aback 4 and bring Pickering or Ribeiro in , De Neve is a fucking liability him and Henricksson are 2 of the worse players I’ve seen in a Rovers shirt … and I’ve seen a few

I don't feel like that to be honest,too many out for me to make that call.
