Rudy Gestede

[G Somerset Rover]

Not sure why anyone would feel the need to be cryptic at the moment about something non transfer related. We all just want the rats out.

[because of boxing day]

Were these crystal ball lyrics by Davies & Hodgson of Supertramp from "Rudy" on the Crime of the Century album 1974 

Rudy's on a train to nowhere, halfway down the line
He don't wanna get there, but he needs time

He ain't sophisticated, nor well-educated
After all the hours he's wasted, still he needs time

He needs time, he needs time for living
He needs time, for someone just to see him
He ain't had no loving
For no reason nor rhyme
And the whole world's above him
Well it's not as though he's fat
No there's more to it than that
See he tries to play it cool
Wouldn't be nobody's fool

Rudy thought that all good things comes to those that wait
But recently he could see that it may come too late
Too late, too late

All through your life
All through the years
Nobody loved, nobody cared
So dim the light, dark are your fears
Try as I might
I can't hold back the tears
How can you live without love, it's not fair
Someone said give
But I just didn't dare, I didn't dare, I didn't dare
What good advice are you waiting to hear
Hearing's alright for them that's all there, hearing's alright
You'd better, you'd better gain control now
You'd better show 'em all now
You'd better make or break now
You'd better give and take now
You'll have to push and shove now
You'll have to find some love now
You'd better gain control now

Now he's just come out the movie
Numb of all the pain

Sad but in a while he'll soon be
Back on his train

Head of Football Operations … no prior experience

Absolutely destroyed the team & forced a lot of long time staff of the club out the door

The sooner we are rid of him and his pal Val the better. Ismael needs sacking today!

[davulsukur]

Assume RG will be sacked at the end of the season, whether we stay up or not? 

It's clear that the data driven approach to player recruitment and the appointment of Ismael has been a spectacular disaster.

Oh, wait, we're not a normal club are we? He'll probably get promoted to CEO

[Scotty1991]

Just want to see a video pop up on social media of one of our more unhinged supporters absolutely pelt him for a solid 15 minutes, pure unadulterated Lancastrian gob shite abuse!

Put this here as suspect Rudy is the type to read this thread. Saw a lad yesterday playing for Bamber Bridge only recently arrived from Thornton Cleveleys. Way too good for this level. Archie Thomas Lang a 20 year old midfielder with a man of the match performance. Go and have a look Rudy rather than trawling the basement of the Belgian leagues.

He'll only be looking at players that his agency pals will send his way.

Replacing Hyam with McLoughlin was probably the decision which has relegated us,

Id say selling Travis.

You think back to the spine and camaraderie we had through the team last year - Eustace-Travis-Batth-Brittain-Hyam-Dolan-Weimann - you could see it on the pitch - real togetherness and fighting spirit and mates off the pitch as well.

This lot....good grief. It's enough to make you weep especially when you look at how Derby, Wrexham and Middlesbrough are getting on now and think about the willingness with which Rovers fans were willing to support and go along with that 'project' to dismantle what we had and replace with this lot. 

Still look on the bright side, the lowlife and their stooges have saved themselves a chunk of cash. Just a shame that will be wiped out with interest when we get relegated.

😪 wasn't all that bad in hindsight was it
