Dont get that in the LT

Exactly. however, we will probably continue with a DOF providing the players and employing a coach rather than a manager. For me…… give me a manager with vast experience of the championship and let him pick his own players to play in his style. That though, doesn’t fit in with a club still fixed on primarily developing young players and selling them as quickly as possible. That’s a flawed model.

A bit of advice to any prospective new manager….. If you’re unlucky enough to get an interview don’t for one second suggest that you’re ambitious. Anything more than aiming for grinding to 21st place will be frowned upon. Oh and don’t even mention money.

Getting a different manager is going to do what exactly? How can anyone get excited about this situation?

I feel sorry for the players who attended that meeting. What a position to put them in. Amateurish from the club. I’ll say it again, JDT isn’t the problem. It’s bleedin’ obvious where the blame lies for the current problems. It lies right at the top of the tree.

I wish we had as many centre forwards.

The answers to this current fiasco don’t currently lie with sackings in the U.K. The answers lie with Venkys and the courts in India. The future of our club lies in India. If this situation is going to go on for any length at all - even another 12 months - Venkys need to act. Seems to me there’s very little time. one more… Why would Maguire or his club even think of discussing a pre-contract deal for Maguire in the summer (as has been reported) with a club that currently can’t pay a fee?

The difference is that the LT is just a comments section. Fans make their comments and aren’t really held to task. Next day the topic has moved on. This is a forum, it’s a place for debate. Discussions on any single topic can literally go on over years - and if you say something others don’t agree with then you’ll very likely be pulled up every time. Its not the people who are different, it’s the media format that’s different.

Many years ago I, along with a number of other rovers fans regularly used to meet with JW and TF at Ewood to discuss plenty of quite relevant rovers related topics. Some fans might remember it. JW told us that some of what was said had to remain confidential. If it wasn’t then he would simply deny ever having said it. I wouldn’t ever try to tell the trust members how to run their organisation but in my experience, in order to get a little more understanding of what really goes on at the club, confidentiality can be important.

The problem with recording meetings is that the club will be very careful what they say. That’s to no one’s benefit.

Waggott, Broughton, the owners and everyone else involved in running rovers into the ground should read your post oldgregg and take in what you’re saying. I reckon you summarise so well how many fans feel - current and lapsed. They should read it because only they can do something about it.

and what guarantee does that give us? I guess what I’m saying is that in summer the market is a lot bigger. The choices are greater. Why would we stick with paying a fee for a totally unproven player from a vastly inferior league? we’ve just sold Wharton for c£20m and you would be happy with this? I wouldn’t.

Did I ask for a list?

Someone explain to me why Rovers would go to the summer transfer window with Maguire - an unknown MLS footballer as their target? Is that the limit of our ambition?

and the same will happen to the next man.

I blame the walker family. They didn’t care who they sold to.

I’m assuming JDT offered to walk away for free last summer, not this summer because the aim for the club was simply “stay up”. That was turned down and now they’ll have to sack him and pay up his contract. Just for clarification. What a total shitshow.

This situation can’t go on. JDT is making his own position untenable. I respect his honesty though.

5 points above relegation zone.

His bio simply says he’s a fan.
