No evidence we low balled anyone, confirmed there’s a wage cap in place which is understandable in the current climate

What are you referring to by current climate, cos I can only understand that if by it you mean uninterested, dumb owners who currently are unprepared to put money into the club.

Rudy says we need to “believe in the project” 😂😂😂😂 rip apart a squad that finished 7th last season and buy inexperienced players.

Gudjohnsen looks a beast...two games in short time ...should be fit and ready for Watford.... Could be a very shrewd addition up front.

He's scored again. 2 goals away in France. Get the going up juice.

Var disallowed it. Relegations back on...

Disallowed goal here.  

I don't want to 'back in my day' that defender, but bloody hell the game has gone. Diving in your own box defending a cross because of a shirt pull.

Whatever you think of Rudy and his comrades they are not the problem. Venkys are the problem. They have been the problem for 15 years. They have overseen the decline and they are the masterminds behind our wagecap and they are the reason why Rudy can’t offer our players decent wages and forces him to sign the likes of Dion. Lots of people have come and gone. All under Venkys watch.

 

Venkys out!

For anybody wanting to watch that interview...just watch Adam Owen.

Fidgety, uncomfortable throughout and an absolute waffler.

He might be able to win over the gullible with his claptrap about alignment and sustainability, but the experienced in the fanbase recognise these types straight away.

Get him out. Along with the others.

I thought he was doing a sponsored silence for the first 20 minutes 🤣

Ismael (and I'm assuming gestede) is claiming that the squad is better than last season, where we finished 7th. 

A decent press would be hitting him with this quote quite regularly, let's see if he's allowed to get away with it.

As for the rest, it was a fan reducation piece presented as fan engagement. 

I'm at a real low in my engagement with the club. Rudy and suhail (trying to go back in the shadows) have reduced me to withdrawing ant financial support for the club.

The body language from Ismael and Owen when discussing “an uncomfortable environment in training ground” 

[Polky]

I sent a question in under the name ‘Tony Vukes’ which was an anagram of ‘Venkys Out’.

I was hoping they would read the whole name out, but instead they just said it was from ‘Tony’ 🤣

I asked an easy question as I thought it would be easier to get the anagram out there 🤣

So I’m presuming the other questions were genuinely sent through the form as they answered my question.

this today was pre empted nonsense. Put a post up asking for questions to be put forward and unsurprisingly the pg questions asked answered and unchallenged 

It’s even worse than that. All 3 of them refused to answer one of the incredible soft ball questions - they wouldn’t commit to which signing they were most excited by. Although Ismael did trot out the Scott Wharton is like a new signing cobblers.

Owen also eventually stated in the fans forum fiasco that he didn’t believe it was possible to become a sustainable club and remain in the Championship. Not sure he’s 100% “aligned”.

C’mon, no-one should answer that, it’s like saying which of your kids you prefer!

Like it or not, the views prevalent on here are not held by the majority of Rovers fans: the Facebook crowd are at the other end of the spectrum and the majority are neither, but they are all Rovers fans. Following live commentary on an Indian court case can hardly be described as mainstream. The questions were always going to be middle of the road.
