We arent really a club that is transparent or capable of communicating properly. Case in point, the fans forum.

At best part of the area hatched in yellow above would be the "incline". What's the small picture insert meant to be? I dont recognise it from round Revidge way.

The fans forum was fine when they could talk about pies and stuff whilst the other fan consultation meetings were happening independently . But now they only hold the FF, its makeup doesn’t appear to cover point 128.1.2 above.

Realistically I can't see the Forum members themselves proposing a vote of no confidence in anyone. You'd hope though that the individuals in question would have the decency to do the right thing and fall on their swords and resign because as DE has correctly identified above the Forum is now a) a complete waste of time and b) is complicit in the Club manufacturing a false narrative of events.

I understand your POV. Do you think it’s right for people to hold positions on a FF if they don't actually hold the club to account and continue to mislead fans by posting watered down FF

Disagree on this Parson - whilst a motion may have been passed at some point that we should play in white shirts, there's no evidence to say we actually did so, whether it be for a week, a month or a season. Who's to say there wasn't a change of heart the following week? Either way by 1878 we were already in the recognisable blue and white halves, not just shirts with white in as you're making out above, so any period we did play in white for must have been so insignificant as to be virtually irrelevant. "The choice of Club Colours also had its roots in the Public School background which so many of its members shared. Both of the Hargreaves brothers and Doc Greenwood were Old Malvernians and it was decided to copy their quartered shirt design, but to replace the traditional green with a Cambridge blue." Blackburn Rovers - The Complete Record Mike Jackman 2009. That information is logical and consistent. What was the original source for that assertion and why is it suddenly any less compelling than some minutes which seem to have subsequently come to light?

People in groups would vote for their leadership in a vote. Also some of the people on the fans forum have been on there pre Venkys. I dont feel it is right to just boot them out. Haven't they been long time members on the forum?

The one who played in a three all draw against Barcelona in the champions league today? Seems like our market.

yeah but I'm being petty and he's below us in the league now...

The book records the history of the club. How is the history of our club invalid?

There is no primary source ( or zero evidence, as you put it) to suggest that the club played in Blue & White during their first season. There is a primary source, published by the club in 1909, that shows that the club passed a motion to play in white shirts with a blue Maltese cross. This was proposed and seconded by founder members of the club. By the time of the first known photograph (circa 1878/1879) they were in shirts which some players had white on the right hand side and some had white on the left hand side.

If transfermarkt is anything to go by there's slim pickings. Rui Patricio ex of wolves and Portugal is 37 and has settled status for a work permit Fraser Forster likewise 37, there's a keeper who's been on the books at spurs and middlesbrough called Glover, 27 and no senior appearances to speak of. Thomas Vaclik, 36, Czech international spent some time at Huddersfield would get a permit. Stankovic, 33, 4 caps for Austria last club AEK Athens, calculator recons work permit goes to a tribunal. None of them really inspire confidence.

Who would have thought not strengthening the goalkeeping dept would come back to haunt us so early ?

Terrible news and will likely cost us points.

It is not the end of the world. It just makes a hard job, harder. It might give Michalski an earlier than planned chance.

well we are now desperately short on goalkeeping cover,need to tap into the free transfer market imo,i don`t rate pears but if anything happens to him then we are in a very precarious state

Wonder if Bristol will still think it was time wasting. This is bad news not just because we have to put up with Pears again just as we were regaining form, but also because an injury like that, especially one needing surgery, might reduce his capability going forward, or create a chronic recurring issue.

Both Kalinic and Nzonzi left before we played in the Championship I think, so not in scope. Rochina a great shout though.

We are doomed if this is true. Finally get some wins and now back to calamity Pears. Lets face it, if he were in goal against Southampton and Leicester then we wouldn't have won those games. That's the difference of a good keeper. I'm already having nightmares thinking of him being back in the first team.

I would check the availability of Roman Vermant är Brugge in January.

To me it's pointless getting rid of him cos whoever Gestede appoints won't be wanted. I'm prepared to see how we go. For now at least there's no doubt the players are with him.

Do we know how long this has been the case?

Not that I disagree, but it's a problem for Tyjon if he can't play as a lone forward. That's almost all the modern game has to offer a striker. Wouldn't say he has the pace to play wide in a front 3 either. I think the last sentence I've quoted is pertinent. Gueye is surely in need of some match fitness at this point, even if we want him to be of use from the bench.
