Listening to match of the day last night talking about Bournemouth after they had beaten Liverpool, how they had lost their best player and were dealing with numerous injuries and had been on a bad run of results since November. No excuses just getting on with it. The polar opposite of our lot every excuse under the sun.

after watching cleary torment the liverpool full backs last week,he certainly is`nt going for our measly offer,barnsley will want close to their asking price

They also definitely aren't going to take 1.5 mill. I'd imagine the least that's possible is 3 million and we are nowhere near that either.

Full time 1-1, another week in the bottom 3

I think it is quite telling that when discussing division in the fan base you have referenced the boycotting fans as a cause. Unless I am mistaken, you haven’t once mentioned the rank abuse that both the coalition and boycotting fans have received. The fans on both sides of this perceived divide who lower themselves to abuse are the minority. Yet, it is clear you put the blame more in one camp than the other The language in your posts is very telling. You have been at great pain to stress that you approach this debate without bias and with an open mind - I don’t think that is necessarily the case. It is always difficult to fully understand somebody from text only but your language points towards a person whose mind is made up - that the boycotting fans and coalition are at fault for the division. This is all my opinion of course. One thing I keep repeating is that you will have more in common with those boycotting fans than you will with the board. With all of your referencing of the minority of boycotting fans who cause division, perhaps you also need to work harder to find common ground with your likeminded town folk, instead of seeking to put the blame for the issues within the fan base at their doorstep. Ultimately there is one party to blame here and it is not any of the multiple fan groups. It is Venkys.

No one of sound mind can be positive about Venky's. They have visited one ignominy after another to this club since they took over. And now we're on the verge of dropping into League One (again!) under their stewardship. These have to be trolls, club shills, or as I said, people not playing with a full deck.

English football is a behemoth in the world of football. If Venkys ever wanted to sell or leave us for whatever reason, there would be a queue.

It costs money to own and run football clubs. Even if you buy a ready made PL one, like the Venky cretins did, you do so with full 'buyer beware' knowledge that there are 3 relegation slots every year which with some bad luck/decisions could wipe out the value of your investment and end up costing tons of cash. Yet despite all that the buyers keep on coming. Indeed in the last 10 years or so English football including the lower leagues and smaller clubs, has become even more popular with foreign groups and interest whereas in the past it was largely limited to local or British businessmen. So it's a myth that there is no interest, and everyone knows they risk losing a lot of money. I find it hard to comprehend why anyone would have concerns about the motives or intentions of potential new owners given the current gangs' background. Never coming to games Never communicating Wrecked the club On track for another visit to League One Potentially involved in criminal or at least highly unethical conduct in India resulting in a freeze/restrictions on their ability to fund the club Agents running the show And yet you'd be worried about the motives of a new owner? They'd have some way to go to trump this lot.

We definitely need a battering ram/ beast forward to give us another option. I’d rather that than another powder puff technical player that isn’t up to the meat pie nature of the championship.

Different issue. Venky’s having no inclination to feck off is pretty much agreed on here, whatever the reasoning is. But if they did, nobody being interested because they’d lose money is a very strange argument for anybody that has even a passing interest in English football.

I genuinely don't know the answer to this,but how wealthy were the owners of the clubs which have been recently taken over? To me there are 2 main reasons that clubs are sold, either the owners want to sell or they have to sell. I don't see Venkys falling into either category, certainly not the second one.

They are both really poor. I'm not comparing them to us, i know how bad we can be, just based on what I have seen from them. Both of them are right in it with us and its impossible to say who stays and who goes out of those 3. Turned it off and they go and equalise!

1-1 into bottom three we go.

They still beat us! You said the same about Charlton and they’ve taken 4 points off us too (should have been six). There is a recurring theme.

Looks like we'll be out of the relegation zone for the next week at least. Portsmouth are really poor.

The who would fund us argument is misleading. People don't own football clubs to make money. If you've got tens of millions to spare and want to make a return on investment - invest in the stock market, buy a profitable business, don't buy a football club. If venkys don't want to fund the losses they shouldn't own us, it's not an act of generosity its an obligation as it is with evert club for which there is no shortage of owners and people wanting to buy a club.

To act decently, you have to do so in both good faith and in agreement with the rules that we set for each other. Sadly, we are not all adults in the sense you suggest. Take our now departed Chaddy, who behaved like a drunk in the corner of the pub shouting endlessly the same things over and over again, seemingly with a level of enjoyment and lack of self-reflection. The bar staff would rightly ask him to leave.

It just astounds me!

“ I SUPPORT VENKYS.“ I wouldn’t want that as my epitaph.

Made in bad faith if you consider his rather childish comments in the other place.

As has been suggested many times, it's all about standards. It seems there are those who are willing to see Rovers run in this manner.

They’ve learnt what, exactly?

And they are going to spend it bringing in good players and improving their squad ??? …. ARE THEY MAD !!!!

"They're bullies over there, its as simple as that when you boil it down. They're trying to create an environment where its open season for personal abuse and intimidation towards anyone who is positive about Venkys. Well the brfcs keyboard warriors can snarl as much as they want, its not changing my view. I SUPPORT VENKYS! They plough a huge amount of money into the club, they've learnt from their earlier mistakes, and all things considered they've done a decent job from the Mowbray era onward." I kid you not😲

That's not how it works. Cash injections from sell on clauses don't affect transfer budgets. Source: Various condescending knobs in charge and treating Rovers fans as dimwits over the years.
