I was thinking about this earlier and it now feels like the MK Dons taking over from Wimbledon.

Granted we are still playing in the same town and same stadium, but with Ismael, providing a foil for Gestede, who in turn provides a foil for Pasha, who in turn provides a foil for the owners, who in turn allow agents, players and officials to steal money from the club, we have become Money Laundering FC.

MLFC rule whilst BRFC dies.

Having dealt with Waggott several times I did warn when he left that fans celebrating his departure should be careful what they wished for. He was a canny operator.

Hmmm.......

Can't agree, the problem would appear to be more he's been replaced with no-one because they thought they could get away with it and save on the cost.

He did also sit there in the car crash interviews endorsing the departure of Eustace, the appointment of Ismael (who apparently in their view topped all the performance criteria) and the  bat shit crazy "transition".

What a serial demotivator. Saying we can’t compete in the championship with all the injuries. How do the youngsters learn from that. Part of it is his communication and language skills. A pretty important box to tick off at  a job interview. 

Wrong man, wrong club, wrong time. 

Sadly it is becoming a habit.

As time went on once Gestede arrived Waggot was a thorn in the side of the other two that's obvious, if he served their purpose he'd still be here.

He clearly held the club back and was a downscaler but that was his methodology and his experience was in that field, keep it stable whilst chipping away at it.

We were going backwards but at a slower rate and i said at the time him gone removed any last remaining semblance of actual football stewardship whatever guise it came in.

Now we have a guy drunk on his own control of the money and a tea boy ex player aligned with him both controlling their puppet in the technical area.

So basically there is no one to challenge them, watch them and if need be try to go over their heads.

The division before was bad enough but yielding full control to these two has proven even worse, they are driven on pure ideology not reality.

Speaking to people at work today, all agreed that his time should be up. Some calling for Dunn/Johnson till the end of season, I don't see the appeal in that to be honest, I get why some would want that but now is not the time for sentiment, we are bang in trouble, I haven't really thought of who I'd want to come in because he seemingly has the safest job in football so I'd be wasting my time.

Any normal football club would have been drawing a list of replacements up weeks ago but they are clearly happy to just keep plodding along with this guy, it's a sorry state but exactly what we have all become used too sadly. 

It's my wedding anniversary Saturday and the wife wants to have a day out so I am boycotting the game unintentionally, it will be a toxic place if we go behind and go on to lose.

IF he is eventually booted, I just hope it's not too late, though I fear it already is. This club depresses me....

Prediction for Saturday: Rovers 0-2 Watford (Own Goal and a couple of injuries) - Attendance Under 10,000 but club say 12/13.

Ismael Out!
