Bob's prediction is uncanny...however 7 years ago, many Rovers fans wanted hope to triumph over (other clubs') dodgy experiences with shoddy foreign ownership.
With foresight or hindsight, our decline, every step of the way, has not been normal or part of football's natural order of things. Obvious and instinctive to most Roverites, too many dispassionate observers have also said so.
Would bigger, better protests/boycotts have made any difference to our fate over this time? I don't believe so but even if it was the case, there is no gain for Rovers supporters in agonising and divisive finger-pointing now .
That said, the past and ongoing protests and boycotts on whatever scale against the owners and associated parasites have been and are still highly worthwhile. Resistance is not futile and eventually, this too will pass...
