I think there needs to be a distinction made between not believing what the club says, and not liking what they say. Some of the rumours people believe because it suits their purpose are mad.

Right it’s getting close to decision time. Should I set my alarm for 5am (when the court starts) or not??

What a plonker.

You’ve answered it yourself, “he’s not the nicest guy” absolutely Suhail and pasha are the problems but this fella is so far out his depth

Exactly this. It’s the same script every year. Wheel the selected puppet out to deflect all the anger and abuse for Pasha/Venkys agenda and once they’ve served their purpose get new puppets in with false talk of a new project. Same cycle, rinse and repeat. Hunt/Anderson, Senior, Shaw, Waggott and Broughton have all played this role before. Gestede is the puppet for this cycle. Once he’s served his purposes it will probably be Owen who they wheel out for the next cycle or get a whole new set of puppets in. We fall for it everytime and meanwhile Pasha continues to execute the Venkys agenda relatively unscathed

I'm absolutely dreading November. Another game to leave disheartened and being laughed at even by the new 'rivals'

As i said many times ....the owners are not in PUNE .....titleholder doesn't mean owners ...this is Mr Pasha's project ..previously he's behind the scenes and as pressure got more...he's been told to take a visible role...... the only way i could make sense of this bollywood drama running 15 years

Arguably the best performance of the season so far albeit against a young Preston team who for some reason don't have an under 21 team. Surprisingly no Matty Litherland for Rovers again and given the fact he hasn't gone out on loan I'm assuming he is injured. We were always in control thought and at 2-0 missed a host of chances and Preston scoring with a few minutes to go set up a nervous finish until Joseph gave us back the two goal cushion. It's been said before about Joseph but he really is a beast. He has a boxer's physique and seems to enjoy the physical side of the game. James Edmondson had a really good game alongside Dunn who, after a couple of indifferent games looked like he was coming back to form. Decandia also played well at centre half. To be truthful it looked too easy for Jake Batty as he didn't need to get out of third gear. I'm really surprised that he didn't get a move yesterday either on loan or permanent. He could well stagnate when he simply has to be challenged more. Overall an enjoyable watch and hopefully this improvement will be carried into league performances.

Is it time to express ourselves again

Bit of an odd one to wank to, no?

It is reasonable to point out (as we all know) that all financial constraints lead to Pune so RG/Pasha/VI (and those on here) are always going to say they are just carrying out orders –to cut expenditure. But surely the unholy triumverate have taken a more drastic decision to cut even further with no attempt to sell a different dream to the owners –one that could see the owners saving some face and exiting (ie promotion). It seems to me that a radical, arbitrary decision (do the owners know?) has been taken to keep wages under 10k and all the other stuff we know in the hope of what? Definitely, not promotion. League position is immaterial we have been told. Then what? One can only conclude it’s with the aim of treading water, maintaining Pasha’s control, massaging RG’s monstrous ego, maintaining agent fees and the whole merry go round of player trading. It would seem that promotion is not in Pasha’s/RG’s interest –I guess if it would lead to new owners then they know the party is over for them. Easier to keep their masters back in Pune in the dark and keep the gravy train flowing. I don’t know where relegation would fit into their thinking. Not a problem the same circus can continue? And then there is the court case. Do they know that things might be coming to a head so better make as much cash as they can while the party is still going?

Not disagreeing my point is we have a lot of talk that they weren’t offered any increases at all so for fans and clarity we don’t really know do we as fans believe the information for instance Glen is privy to or do we believe the club who have previous for telling fibs

seems entirely plausible tbf

You're not. But he still needs shooting (metaphorically) Wouldn't let any of the strikers he's signed do it though.

I'd suggest the reason is they're still advertising this: https://jobs4football.com/job/loan-manager/ Tin pot – nobody in the role to push for moves, so we’re left with youngsters who are either too good or too old for the U21s and in need of men’s football experience, but they’ll be sat on the sidelines for the next four months.

The gloves though...

It was always going to be the obvious response we offered them contracts and increases they didn’t want to extend and wanted to move on this is why small statements from players would be helpful because now we find ourselves in a ‘he said she said’ debate with no tangible evidence so fans in the dark again as usual

Not sure that's actually him replying is it....

I'm not going to condemn him for at least engaging , feels very much like Suhail has tapped him in the shoulder and told him time to do your job human shield. It is the climate created that has led to our manager (twice) and then a load of players wanting out after each Jan. The climate of no ambition, that's he's happy to feed into as he plays horse trading , like a Benin Del Boy trying to charge a mark up on some dodgy Belgian left backs he picked up on the cheap, genuine top flight experience, cushty darlin'* *6 sub appearances in Luxembourg

Can’t help but feel like we’re just shooting the messenger by pointing the blame at RG. Sure he’s inexperienced, and rumours suggest that he isn’t the nicest guy, but if/when he gets axed then we’re still in the same scenario we have been since those bozos took over. Edit: if you disagree, please tell me why you think I’m wrong 👍🏻

Are you able to elaborate? If not, how come? Or perhaps I misunderstood your post? To me it suggests that you and Glen have information that hasn’t been disclosed (yet?).

Best Interests of the Club? Players who are committed? Real pro, you hypocritical twat

Had a go myself

Hes nothing but a parasite and a embarrassment to my club and to the human race in general.
