It is the Venkys who ought to be going . Nothing changes , cheaper options all the time as been since Sam was replaced by Kean ! When the Indians purchased the club , we were a top ten Premier League club , look at us now . Venkys Out is all that matters !

I'm not setting expectations at anything (RG does that I think-he suggested promotion is not of interest to him). I'm suggesting that in difficult circumstances JE got the team to 7th. Given that those difficult circumstances seem to have gone ie. everybody is working to the same plan (not getting fined by Rev), optimism is high, we have younger, speedier, more athletic giants, then you would expect to equal or improve on 7th.

Don't disagree.

More Rovers appearances in the Derby squad than in our first choice XI

If he's that annoyed about it - why doesn't he say why he thinks Travis has let him down and say ""Lewis has let us down because he did X,Y,Z" etc etc then everyone can make their own mind up. Bit of a coward's trick to chuck a hand grenade in and leave it at that.

Depends how you use it. 😉

Not clear enough Revidge, wasn't directed towards the author of this article which agree is balanced - born out frustration that the politicking from the usual suspects at the club seems to work so effectively amongst the wider fanbase.

To keep fans onside -we did the best we could yada yada, it was the player's fault, nothing to do with us guv..

I think anyone who uses the word "aligned" from now on should be fined £10. Money to go to charity!

...or a Red Card 😉

Very one sided battle, Travis v Cantwell should be good

A few more of our released youngsters have now found new homes Pat Gamble signed for Warrington Town (7th tier) Dan Shaw signed for Rugby Town (7th tier) Bradley Taylor (who I think spent the majority of the past 3 seasons injured) is now at Ashton Utd (7th tier) Not sure if this is the same Stephen Edmondson, but there is one in Marines U23s squad Tom Bloxham may be moving to Switzerland

Travis v Tronstad be weird, and that's just for us watching.

For the manager to call him out like that? I don’t know what’s gone on, but why would you choose those words if you weren’t making a point?

Y'all love your straw men. Setting expectation at Playoffs or bust is hilarious. We're clearly not that club under these owners - look at the money Wrexham and Birmingham have spent. We also have 3 parachute payment teams and Sheffield United hanging around too. We'll be mid table, adrift of the automatic promotion spots by Christmas and just generally making up the numbers unless Gestede is a genius and all of these new signings are excellent.

because the website is rarely kept fully updated by someone who cares The same page named Ryan Kidd as U18s manager throughout last season despite Darragh Tuffy having held the post for a year

Agree...... but I thought this particular article was fair and balanced. Don't think the author is "falling for" any of it.

Hmm...I think there is a lot more to this than we know.. As well as "life changing money", I am also smelling a trail of bad feeling e.g...Gestede, Suhail, Eustace, Leslie Fielding's "redundancy" etc.. Looks like a clear out of all those, who challenged the new orthodoxy or were not "aligned"...

Waggott is still listed at Companies House...

This stuff writes itself...😆 https://www.rovers.co.uk/club/staff/

Why then would he still be listed as an employee whereas Waggott is not? This does need clarifying. One poster on here suggested he'd had personal issues to deal with.

So 7th with a manager not backed in January, behind the scenes arguing and power battles. Surely, now that we are all aligned we would expect at least the same or above.

Farewell Trav, you shall be missed.

From the article... His newly found “renaissance” might have encouraged the Rovers’ hierarchy to look at offering a more favourable contract in an honest attempt to retain the player’s services. Obviously not.

My thoughts exactly. Wrong way round. Travis always put it in for us on the pitch. Buckley didn't.
