We once sued our own ceo (and lost) We can piss away money (lost transfer fees, master plans, spurious legal cases) but won”t pay for a pitch worthy of a football club

I think there was a genuine fear that Dack might have in worse shape than he is. Losing Rothwell as well meant it was a reasonable signing but, with hindsight, perhaps a little overpriced given his role now. But if wages are reasonable then it is an ok signing imo

Very professional picture highlighting someone elses sponsor, stadium and someone’s sweaty cap

Could it be so stupid that wording was used along the lines of “If BRFC remain in the championship then the deal is off”? Which would explain why the EFL needed to ask the question seeing as nothing would have been presented that covered what happened in the event of relegation this season

Being extremely cynical it could be a political move: Rovers give up our share of revenue (more or less) Waggot presents the figures to his boss - see slashing prices costs us a lot The less knowledgeable (our owners) won’t even consider that it is a limited allocation. They will simply see less income case closed for arguments about “filling the stadium”…

JDT speaking about a patient approach tonight pretty much guarantees the result… 🤬

I would say that the team has improved but is suffering from not taking chances and feeling the pressure of that. individual players is hard to judge as the same bunch blew hot and cold last season as well. Up until recently a case could be made for the defensive improvement and our effectiveness in taking chances. SG, BB, JV and possibly Dolan/Hedges need to wake up and hopefully Thomas can be a catalyst whilst giving Dack help.

As long as we weren’t playing tippy tappy football and trying hard then apparently quite a few would be happier… yes i am taking the piss but ffs - i dare anyone to say we are underachieving in terms of results this season. People bitching about not being entertained whilst bitching about it being all about results when our head coach talks bollocks replying to a question from the lokal rag.

Thanks - missed that and fair enough

3) How satisfied were you with the variety of matchday activities? I’m old. Variety of matchday activities?? Unless having a piss, a pie and wondering if i’ve got a chance with the blond are now ”activities” then i genuinely Don’t know what i’m judging as i go for the football…

JDT is being pilloried for the sins of others but it is his job to know the club he has joined - not least as frontman. If he could just have come out and said - sorry we were gash in the derbies and that is a)on me and b)not ok then it would actually help. That we will lose derbies in the future - no problem. That we aren’t ”up for them” or react quickly when getting outplayed and outbattled is not. Being in or close to the playoffs is exceeding my expectations. 2 defenders signed and players being dropped regardless of who they are also above what has gone on before. Lucky? Yes but that is not a negative…

Southgate will be the next ”technical director” for the FA. Most likely after 2024 or 2026

Is it easier and cheaper to handle 17k i wonder…? Looks good on the spreadsheet with a healthy profit per fan. The long term wellbeing of the club and fanbase is apparently not a consideration despite the usual BS at fan meetings 😢

Ghana trolling Uruguay with a sub on 96 minutes 🤣

I would ask him if 2 draws, 1 win and 1 loss is better than 2 wins and 2 losses. once he stopped staring at me in an odd manner then i would encourage him to read this forum 😜 In all seriousness I would ask him if he would see 8th place as being a success or failure for his first season in charge.

We as fans don’t want to lose a potential windfall but i’m just happy to see that ”if you are good enough - you play” that i can get behind - the owners strange indifference to assets is odd but something that has become an issue in this case because of Waggot/Suhail as a first professional contract should be routine

Remember Souness - ”wee with the Willy you’ve got” so far Tomasson is doing just that and not getting draggad into transfer discussions/debates in public. actually a nice change and does seeml he can focus football matters only (so far)

What is Colin Hendry doing these days? 🤔🙈

Actually forgot that Ayala is at the club 🤣🤬

Based on past events I could see us creating a monstrous wage bill, relegation and so on… sound familiar?

The one thing that really annoys me is that everyone drops deep - leave Dolan in the centre circle ffs. That means 2 opposition players will stay back and just maybe the odd breakaway from a routine clearance.

TBF we did get control of the game after the change of formation. Buckley gave the ball away more or less centrally, Pickering slipped and Kaminski could/should have done better. Don't blame the formation but we really do look like we have a massive hangover from saturday...

Thought it was "bring your kid to work day" when he came on - wondered whose kid it was...

Are we feeding them? 🤔😉

If we aren't planning on offering him a decent deal then sell for whatever we can get but with 40% sell on Right manager and fitness/physio could make him into a 10m player. Worth a shot if we can't be arsed/afford trying to keep him...
