Have they? Or is it Pasha? And so long as the Vs aren't unduly pestered they are happy.

Not really-it's been getting cheaper all the time.

No it's not. It's about cutting costs and nothing to do with league position (which RG has stated is irrelevant.)

No it's not. It's happened several times before.

Really? They did pretty well then (7th lest you forget in your bland assertions) don't you think given that JE and the squad weren't supported in January.

Disagree. That is true in terms of the Vs and nobody here (apart from some) but gives RG and hence Pasha far to easy a ride. Just carrying out orders. They cause far more damage than that. They are also a big part of the problem for all the reasons many have outlined on here before.

Interesting you say that. It seemed to me that during the last home game there wasn't much of one -just tended to drop to half way. Also, it seemed a little half-hearted but definitely improved in the second half as did energy levels.

Are you suggesting this club is a right carry on?

Aw please boss, can we train with a ball now, Pasha says they are too expensive.

In the same vein again (sorry for knicking ideas!) But boss, I love pork.

Then surely the EFL will deal with it? We know how that went....

There was some reasonable coverage at the time but not that it led to anything. Interest waned and now no media is really interested in Rovers or the Venky angle.

In the same vein "Exit's that way Val, close the door behind you."

Maybe you already know but these threads should help. https://www.brfcs.com/forums/topic/36673-venky%E2%80%99s-v-indian-government-a-12112025-if-a-ref-can-be-secured/ https://www.brfcs.com/forums/topic/36789-venky%E2%80%99s-suhail-out-protest-ideas/

Mea culpa -I'll get back to you. 🙂

The 'What Now?' Show - It Can't Go On Like This Sadly, I think it can and will.

JBiz Thinking a little more about our ‘debate.’ We both agree on SWAG. We both agree Pasha is the main spring of problems (as well as an agency). We disagree on RG. You suggest (I think) that RG doing his best and needs time –it’s down to Pasha. I think I have seen enough (even before he arrived) to have made my criticism I did above. And it is because, (amongst all the other negative stuff people have posted) I think that the relationship between RG and Pasha is not just one way (ie Pasha as the autocrat and RG/SWAG as the enforcer just carrying out orders). I don’t think you can excuse RG (like SWAG before him) of just being a puppet who does what he is told for 2 reasons: 1 I think he sold the idea/dream of the wage structure to Pasha 2 the element of pettiness and aggression in carrying out the new plan The other difference is that you are not prepared to believe (again, I think) some of the stuff suggested by glen and others as you regard it as tittle tattle. On balance, I am. Edit Perhaps, putting it another way - I'm not too keen on this idea that it's all down to Pasha (and don't think for a minute this argument is excusing him) and everyone else is just doing as they are told, carrying out orders. That could be seen as an excuse to let off people like SWAG (I know you haven't though!) or RG or VI. I guess you'll have your moment though if we end up in the top half - the new putsch or alignment will have been seen to work. 😉

Think you are right about the Raos (although of course it begs the question as to why they don't just send a bit of that our way other than the supposed 10m a year). But the Raos aren't interested are they and are not told everything. Pasha and cronies want to keep the plates spinning to earn those fees.

Seconded! And this is what is wrong with the game these days..https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c62l5qz9jwgo Would I sit on my arse for £16.9m a year? Hmmm 🙂

Said a while ago that they probably think they can survive until January with centre back options they have and they will do the same up front. Maybe, just conjecture, they will keep up to 2.5m for January and spend then (if they really have to) -"hey look, be happy, the new regime/alignment spends money in Jan unlike the previous set up with SWAG."

Again, I didn't say that.....

Such an exit of seasoned staff, on and off the field. So that's a refreshing new broom or something rotten in the state of Denmark. The last decade and a half could provide a clue.

Well if that is Pasha, we have one thing we can agree on.

Also, we could argue it was Pasha's decisions and general dysfuntion behind the scenes that caused that. And if you mean JE, I think RG had a large hand in that.
