Start what? Almost every player gets more than almost every fan, usually far more. They are generously compensated, he's right. Maybe not relative to what they can get elsewhere, but as Championship footballers they have a standard of living most of us can only dream of, for doing a job we would all love to do even if it was for what we earn now.

Well we never build on what we do they do the exact opposite and pull it all to bits again so literally anything could happen.

Need your nose testing. Its what this churned.

I've been meaning to say myself that I found all the timings too coincidental, and that I suspect the club leaked the 'Brittain close to signing' rumour already knowing that there was strong interest from Boro and Derby and that a sale was likely. At a normal club, I'd be willing to believe we got unlucky, or that the story breaking made other clubs hasten their moves, but we aren't a normal club. Whilst I can't say it's definitely the case, I have to wonder whether Brittain was ever close to signing a deal or if they made it up knowing he won't be signing one and that they've got a replacement in ahead of time.

Just par for the course, no? Eustace got a bitchy statement. Waggott got a sentence.

Dont start please

The senior players were annoyed? Imagine how the fans felt. We have to PAY to watch this shit - they at least get generously compensated.

After all this shit...why do i feel strangely optimistic we'll be in playoffs first time come end this season ......... ahh this is what stockholm syndrome is

Still no talk of Ismael bolstering his coaching staff? Remember we were already 1 down after Downing and Gardiner left for Derby with only Whitehead coming in with Ismael. Lots of talk about Adam Murray coming but he's gone to Kidderminster instead. Now with Lowe out the door we are 2 coaching staff down on last season. No wonder they prefer this model. A lot cheaper.

Duru's gone from breaking through from nowhere, going out on loan to a L2 side and getting called up to the USA U20s to back behind a CM who did ok at Chorley on loan. Ouch.

There’s nothing like it. Fantastic entertainment. Felt sorry for Siraj, (I know) such an unlucky way to get out.

Another few quid saved, its like a competition to see how few staff a club needs to operate.

So am I right in thinking that there is still no announcement from the Club on the future of David Lowe, who apparently has left according to Ismael but the Club hasn't had the decency to announce it yet. Also after the appalling statement confirming the departure of the previous CEO after 7.5 years the club is yet to announce a replacement, timescale, update or indeed who is running the club in Waggott's place at the current time? Communication eh?

Rumoured to be Coventry City.

Happy for the post to be hidden, maybe should have sent it via IM

Lowe like Benson has always seemed well regarded by the players so whatever his actual coaching abilities it's another cog from the dressing room gone.

Its close to being a L1 line-up apart from Cantwell and possibly Ohashi. There's no doubt that Venkys will be content with that outcome.

With that team we would be cut adrift by October with no prospect of recovery. Would be relegated with a record low number of points.

Makes sense that he goes soon after Waggot

I did hear that Lowe, had a weekly report on the happenings and the club, sent to India. I also heard, he was once sacked and reinstated, due to this.

Start the thread…

Holding off getting a 'regular' season ticket for now, as weekday games are a bit of a faff to get to due to work. Last season I got the flex ticket, which having just moved back to the UK in Jan was a perfect solution. I thought I read somewhere (or maybe I imagined it?) that there was talk of doing a 15-game ST or something similar - is this based on anything factual?

Never in doubt 😬

Phew! Never in doubt 😁 Excellent Test match Drop Crawley and / or Pope for the next one.

Never been a Lowe fan and seems Eustace sought to isolate him. However, for Rovers not to even confirm this departure is poor. One does wonder if this is litigious.
