The banners are made by a fan who is not part of Coalition working group. I am very grateful that he is being proactive and getting the message out by any means. It is not a GCSE art exam after all. Wish more people would to the same.

I'm a bit baffled by Alan Myers and his story with Rovers. I read his statement last night and that is the most 'extreme' he has been with his views on Venkys, going as far as to say that he thinks they need to sell the club and clear off (who doesn't?) but even still he's quite 'on the fence' with them, insisting that they mean well and want the club to succeed. I'm sorry but I simply cannot accept that. Granted I've never met the owners but actions speak louder than words and there is no evidence going back well over a decade that they genuinely do want success for the club. They might well give that impression in their private discussions and meetings, but anyone can say such things, it is what you actually do that matters. Again, I'm sure he would be a lot more vocal about things if it was Everton being run into the ground. I also find it odd how he was just 'invited' onto the board of directors back in 2014. Why? By Whom?

I will admit, the last one did reduce me to tears. I have to putt his in perspective now and accept, that our club has been snatched away from us and deal with it that way.

U18 v Coventry preview, 7pm kick off https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2026/january/21/preview--coventry-city-under-18s-v-rovers-under-18s/ updates

I'm too old to cry if we go down

Thanks. I think he might have been on the funny water, if he thinks we will stay up. It is pretty nailed on for me now and I can't see a way out.

I think Myers has been away from the club too long to still be able to capture the mood. 1) A boycott won't have any affect on the players, in the last 12 months we've had very big crowds and very low crowds at various points and it doesn't seem to have any bearing on results whatsoever. 2) The fact that he has worked for the club and works in football generally means that he occasionally dips in and out of life at Rovers but that's not the same as being a fan and living and breathing the club 24/7, he doesn't quite get what it's like, which is not his fault as he isn't a Rovers fan. His statement makes out that it was really bad during their first few years of ownership and that since it hasn't been as bad. All fifteen years, barring promotion from league one, which we should have never even been in, have been awful for fans. He won't understand the pain and humiliation the owners have put us through, countless times. Not his fault, but he isn't speaking from a position of understanding and authority on this issue. He's not a bad guy. But he doesn't get it.

We knew 90% of this in July.

It’s also an indication of how bad our transfer policy is when a team with a transfer embargo can do considerably better business than us. Hull are 4th and 3 points off the automatic places and weren’t allowed to pay a fee for anyone, they also had the wages capped but still did better than us in the window.

The injury list is a smokescreen, like the refereeing rant. We have a squad of substandard players, all played to exhaustion. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy

Absolutely on point Ian. We are in a desperate situation, with no end in sight. At least we won't have to face the clampets not season.

Well, there was certainly no uptick in results since it was announced (which I imagine the regime would have been counting on). Suppose they could drop the dead cat of sacking VI (I know, I know!)

The only thing left is a total boycott of home games ! Do not buy any season tickets in June !

Do you have a link? I always thought of him, as a decent guy, but perhaps not.

Echoed be me and many others and it is so very sad.

13 injuries should not prevent a manager using his technical area to give enthusiasm &:support to his team. He's a disgrace and should be no where near football. Don't care what it takes those board members (do we have any??) need to put pressure on whoever to get rid of this incompetent person.

Its a spectrum, and having Hyam in the squad would move us towards the positive end of it. When you step back and think we let all of Hyam, Dolan, Baath, Travis, Brittain, Wieman go in one fell swoop and got two players with Championship experience (and then not as first XI players) in TGH and McLoughlin that is pretty radical.

As previously mentioned funds are none existent, and no one wants to take responsibility for raising them (i e beng that person to hold the fund)

‘Nice people’, though.

Weirdly, we’ve not been in this position of jeopardy since Coyle was sacked. Two years ago they’d already appointed Eustace/it was clear JDT was leaving by the time we got fully mired. So, will our apparently fully engaged owners (who watch every game) grasp the nettle here and go over the heads of the cosy pair…

If you all think Dom Hyam would have solved our leadership problems you’re deluding yourselves.

Someone should ask him at his next press conference, ' do you still think this squad is better than last years ?' He is the manager he has to be brought to account !

I've lost track of when injured players are meant to be back, but if Ismael sends the team out in that same system on Saturday then Watford will win at a canter.

We'll probably smash Watford 5-0 and he'll get awarded a 3 year contract. 🤣
