I'm one of their biggest critics also and i haven't seen much to praise Gestede about, quite the opposite but you don't really sign good players by mistake. If they wanted to fill the squad full of shite they would do it would be quite easy and been done before. But your right the main driver is not promotion it is as they've always been trying to put in place, an entire squad who has real potential to increase in value so they can sell them all again. They are using the assets they have in order to do that because we know the Vs don't/can't put actual money in for players. So they are basically having a mass fire sale to fund a new direction and to do it they need half decent signings at least and the mass influx of transfer cash has allowed them to do that. Lets not forget the actual recruitment team in this below Gestede who probably do most of the hard work.

Legends? Sam Gallagher scored more goals than BBD, MGP, SS, Andy Cole, Mike Newell, Damien Duff, RSC, Derek Dougan..... ;-))

My Rangers mate just messaged me and said he's gonna be sacked tonight, I told him leave it till after weekend 😁

Derby, who nearly went out of business very recently...

Our finishes over the last four seasons are 8th, 7th, 19th and 7th... so generally it's probably fair to say that 7th is about right for the players we had. That group made it obvious that they didn't have the mentality required to get over the line, but they were good enough to hover around it. If the ambition is playoffs then those core players weren't going to achieve it, so you could argue moving them on isn't an issue. It's just a question of whether bringing in players on lower wages with no Championship experience will improve the situation. It's all on Gestede, Owen and the recruitment team as to whether they've unearthed some hidden gems or downgraded the team. We will see.

2-0 ht

Please, be serious. @Neal I don't necessarily disagree with your rant/post and I'm not overly upset about Travis feeling hurt. What I am angry about is that we clearly wanted to keep our captain, but we can't/won't offer him the same wages as Derby fucking County. It's absolutely beyond the pale.

⬆️ They live amongst us.

All gone quiet on incomings. Nicko saying a lot going on with Lorient and Dapo is still on our radar. No word of this midfielder we are seemingly fairly advanced with

NOOOOOO

Travis is very much Jason Lowe

He is getting sacked before they play Celtic isn't he Shame Wonder who the next mugs are? Wrexham? Once they realise Parkinson is out of his depth

As is airing your dirty laundry in public throwing players under the bus to deflect any stick coming your/the clubs way. They are ALL at fault which just goes to show how toxic and every man for himself it is behind the scenes there now.

John O'Mara and Ken Beamish 🤣🤣

5-0 before half time 😁😁😁😁😁

It's a shame it ended the way it did. Under another set of owners Travis may have been a part of a return to the PL - although I don't think he's good enough to play at that level. Alas, under Venky's it was never going to happen. Have to hope this Baradji fella is the real deal.

Loved that episode with Mowbray. A top class guy who, for me, did a fantastic job for this club at a time when we were in a mess. His love of football is there for all to see and you can see why he is so loved by players and fans alike. A principled man in an industry where principles are often cast aside all too often.

If this was a boxing match the ref would have stopped it.

I think you will find that legends were a thing before the Prem and Rovers have a fair number of them. Not really sure MGP is one tbh.

Scotty Sellars and Howard Gayle

Maybe United will have to revisit the Pears deal 😂

There could be things going on in the background. BUT you're all acting like you haven't seen ex-colleagues who left your workplace or were managed out say "so glad I got outta that sh*thole mate".

Good to see Mowbray looking well

but nobody knew he was going to be any good! Anyway, wasn't it JDT who gave him his debut?

Mogga on Adam Wharton....
