The club needs its fans but has lost so much goodwill over Venkys tenure that its hard to envisage many turning up. The club can't just expect fans to walk back in. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll 'pull together' when they start treating people properly. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roverandout Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 We need to keep the pressure on Mowbray. His record is still abysmal despite 2 half decent performances. There's no way I'm backing down 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be very interested to see what numbers are like when fans are allowed back in. I’d wager very low. Perhaps a one off spike for first home game then 7k I reckon. They will then blame covid. Anything or anyone but themselves. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1864roverite Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 SG the club needs the fans more than ever to get behind the club, increase capacity and cash flow and to support and get behind the club ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Roverite,it's about time the Venkys started running the club in a responsible manner and appointing the right people to move the Club forward...starting with a new Manager. Leadership starts from the top,the rest follows,Fans will only take this nonsense so far.

barry_ Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Are we fooling ourselves, here? Is mowbray really going? On other social media sites you would believe that we're doing well and the manager isn't going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fans have been taking this nonsense for 10yrs SG and will continue to do so, thats what football fans do, its in the blood, you can't get rid of it. But make no mistake, this club will never move forward under Venkys ownership, regardless of who the manager is, the past 10yrs tell us that and to expect anything different is living in a cloud cuckoo land in my opinion. We've had "would you welcome venkys back' thread, I was surprised to see how the mood had softened because they'd said nothing for 2 seasons, then we get the news about the training ground...... We are only ever 1 step away from disaster with Venkys running this club, until they go we stagnate and decline. Venkys Out. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they need to give fans something to get excited about. That doesn't have to be megastars in the PL. It needs to be a club that is forward thinking, ambitious, well-run with a good management team getting the best from the players and inspiring them to want to do better as a team. Regardless of what League you are in, you can expect that. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put those down to the recruitment dept. Then in comes Pears from Boro and is automatic no 2. Defenders have been coming for years - except they haven't unless we've borrowed them. Then comes Ayala, from Boro, who hasn't played since the previous Jan, has a few games and struggles. Then he disappears somewhere inside his THREE year contract. We still need more defensive cover but old Tone makes sure there's enough left in the pot to bring back 36 yr old -ex boro- Downing. Meanwhile ex Boro Richie Smallwood who's been allowed to basically sit in the managers office for 12 months finally leaves. All after staying safe, staying fit and seeing his contract out. So he can further his career nice and ready to go elsewhere. Then there's Harry Chapman, er ex Boro ! Something isn't right about all this at all whether it's just him terrified of players he doesn't know or something a bit more interesting. He's been running his own show here for the last few years covered by his own CEO. It needs to stop. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn’t sit right does it , especially the pears deal , immediately after signing 2 keepers . The Greek lad does seem strange , he had such a good and seemingly genuine profile yet isn’t getting a sniff ... and I bet I’m better than pears 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHRover Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I've seen today's headline from Mowbray about Brentford. I dont think I can read it but I know what he's going to say. He's in full on self protection mode. Looks like operation sell Armstrong is in full swing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomphil Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Just commented on that on twitter. The propaganda machine is cranking into gear now priming for what's about to come. All goes to back up the land sell training center bull then begin dismantling this side. There's lots of lovely potential commission in the offing here. And the perfect excuse to sit in the middle of the division under captain midtable another 4 years. I'm not alone in suspecting the real plan here all along has been to grow a side with as much value as possible. It's maturing now, ripe for picking and clearly going nowhere in the league. If i thought he could sell Armstrong for big money then use it wisely to make us better i'd back it. I do not think for one min he's capable of that nor that bothered. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHRover Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I'm just curious as to who these assets are other than AA. He's the big feather in Mowbray's cap and yet we aren't in the Brentford boat with him because he's only got one year to run and so we will have to sell him this summer, even at a lesser price than he is worth. Brentford get their stars on 4 year deals before they sell. Who else is worth more now than 12-18 months ago? Dolan has happened more by accident but even then he's not worth big money. Dack no. He's having us on, again, and its just annoying nobody picks up on it and challenges him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's wasted £12m on 2 absolute duds with zero profit potential. The guys an idiot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
