The manager they apparently lost confidence in has gone. The support they so desperately wanted from the fans (which they've always had imo) has been there both home and away and this is what they dish up. What more do you want lads?

Horror show

Eustace coming across the same problem JDT did. The squad as a whole isn't good enough.

"Gallagher jumps...beaten in the air" My Rovers match day bingo card is complete.

That's my biggest issue so far, no matter how we play, we concede. The players need to take some responsibility. In a way, they're the ones who've come off worse in this fan, Waggott, player meeting if as mentioned, the vast majority of players lost confidence in JDT.

We've just seen them bring in £20+ mil and as you rightly say the Raya money will come. We should be buying more than a couple of players before we sell anyone else, we were well short prior to Wharton leaving and anyone we've picked up since are on short contracts or go back to other clubs.

So they could've and should've scored 5. But we were better defensively than how JDT set us up?

Everyone relax, we've got £18m to rebuild this squad in the summer...

Has he lost the dressing room?

He'll get my support. My issues aren't with him. Best of luck, he's going to need it.

That's assuming he's still there. Besides the manager leaving, he's the only one absolved of any blame for the Jan window...there's still that mess which means we don't know who's still there.

Surprised, that's come from left field.

Yeah I have to be honest, it's all gone rather quiet on the protest front. I don't know if that's a good or bad signal.

I don't know much about Eustace or his playing style or anything really, apart from his playing days. My biggest issue is the club were trying to setup an identity of playing as little as 2 years ago, something that would be instilled in the clubs DNA from the youngest age groups in the academy. Is this an appointment just to save us from relegation or will he carry on the intended blueprint?

I have a few questions that i'd hope the Trust would look to ask during their next meeting. It's a changing landscape at the moment, so some of these may be obsolete by the time the next meeting with the club comes round. 1. There is no clarity at the moment if GB remains in situ. What is his employment status with the football club? 2. (Dependent on if GB has left and hasn't been replaced) The club have continuously flip flopped between having a DoF/Sporting Director and going with a traditional 'Manager' approach since the Raos took over the club. Are the club planning to replace GB with another DoF/Sporting Director? For the sake of longevity and to provide an opportunity for succeeding, would it not be wise to advise the owners to keep a particular footballing structure in place for longer than they historically have? 3. (Also dependent on if GB has left and hasn't been replaced) - Which individual (or individuals) made the choice to hire the new manager/head coach? 4. (Also dependent on if GB has left and hasn't been replaced) - Who does the manager/head coach now directly report to?

I agree and also agree with your sentiment that ultimately he is accountable. Was more intrigued to see if he had held his hands up or was one of these people that has trouble accepting they're culpable (I sense the latter without ever having met him).

Last question from me on it all Glen. The bit in bold, did Waggott hold his hands up and claim any accountability to the January transfer fiasco during yesterdays meeting?

This is beyond just JDT or Eustace. Right now, no-one has any clarity on if Gregg Broughton is still employed. So who's deciding our new head coach/manager? Which brings up another question. Is the DoF experiment coming to an end and we go back to Eustace being the manager? It's all just rushed, last minute, planless thinking. Testament to Venkys tenure.

Should've used Topcashback or Quidco to build some transfer funds.

Everything has always been a moving dart board with the Raos, a dart board that's likely rented, with no doubles.

Quite convinced that I read somewhere by someone yesterday that Waggott stated during this tea and biscuits with fans and players, we had money to fund the club regardless of Wharton being sold or the Indian hearing. I could be completely wrong, but I thought I'd seen it somewhere on twitter from someone who attended.

Poor lad should steer clear. We aren't sure if GB is still in situ or if we'll even continue with the DoF/Head Coach structure. So he may not even be a target if we are completely changing structure (again). It's an absolute mess. One thing is for sure, Waggott has assured us that there's money without the Wharton sale to keep the club running. So we should have that inevitable warchest this summer *ahem*

They'll bury this news when they announce the new appointment and a get behind the lads propaganda story.

Again, can we all remember, this is rearranging the deckchairs on the titanic. Deckchairs that need to be arranged granted, if the pool boy is indeed leaving. But let's remember the captain and the white star line are the ones we should be aiming our anger at. Everything else is us shouting at the iceberg for getting in the way.

But, but, he's told some fans we have money until the summer, without the Wharton sale. F*ck Waggott, wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.
