Genuinely- no bias, no “rovers glasses” on… Do you think were the worst run club in the country?

Do you think we’d be similar in numbers if we ran a similar price?

What do you feel would be a suitable price?

@JHRover it’s subjective though, I don’t feel like the club is “taking the piss” out of me. Why would I? Is it because I’ve had my expectations lowered? Is it because I don’t have an issue with money? Is it because I don’t particularly follow rovers because for success? A quick poll of my friends suggested the prices aren’t unreasonable but the offerings are limited aren’t creative. The decline for me, the reason has always been success. Hence why so many took up half season tickets when the club was sat in the top six at Christmas

Honestly couldn’t write how ridiculous this is. When the fun stops, stop.

You know as much as I do about what is going on behind the scenes. Fuck all. I can understand your concerns but I just don’t share this constant need to moan and bitch about something that’s not even happened yet.

You know it’s possible to know history AND still have cautious optimism? It might do you a favour to take a step back until they’ve actually hired someone.

Defenders are going?

As far as I’m aware it didn’t cost anything as I only had the account setup during the online covid stuff. Sounded an intelligent bloke with a plan. We haven’t had many of them in the last decade. Proof is always in the pudding.

If only we’d hired more people who actually understand football, have a creditable reputation and experience level, and values their reputation in the game as opposed to their wallets, back in 2010…

@Neal I just watched the ten minute interview on rovers.co.uk and I feel exactly the same. Cautiously optimistic. The main thing that resonated with me is the importance of having a long term goal and plan.

More examples of why it’s worth taking any of the so called “whisper” stuff people post here with a dump truck full of salt

“It started with the fans” a direct quote from Bradley about the toxic problems at the club…. ”My performance level was good” Comes across as history told from the view of a villain.

Do you genuinely expect the club to be sending you an update every few days with exactly what is going on behind the scenes? Lets not mix this up - I agree with you on the problems of the club, the way it’s run with a vacuum between “boots on the ground” and the eventual decision makers. What I don’t understand or agree with is this expectation that everything should be signposted and/or given out in press releases. I don’t remember that happening at any club, never mind our own. You know as well as I do, most owners of clubs just use PR and copywriters to create a blanket release to cover most scenarios, “We thank such and such for his service” etc. If there is a club out there, that releases articulate press and news every week, even if the update would be “well we’ve started trying to hire a manager, but no luck yet”… I would be surprised. I think it would do you and a lot of others some good to switch off and just wait to make your mind up when it’s eventually released.

Ambition in football is money. Without Jacks dream or cash, he wouldn’t have come. Point missed? As in comparing / expecting the club to go out and get one of the best managers in the country? I know that he is talking about choosing someone and just employing them rather than interviewing, but it’s hardly a scandal to have such a process. If being told the truth that we aren’t anywhere near that level, is winding you up, then I suggest you get a grip. That doesn’t mean this process couldn’t be better, it doesn’t mean that the club is achieving its “maximum” and it doesn’t mean I believe we cannot compete in the championship for promotion. The idea that cost is irrelevant is ridiculous.

I personally just think he makes it up. 10 years of “wee” titbits and I can’t recall a single time one of his predictions has come true.

The contrast you seemingly can’t see is the difference between our club and football as a whole between now and then. Kenny wouldn’t have come without top tier wages or guarantees on spending. I’ll wait for you to explain how it is possible to invest the modern day equivalent, similar Liverpool or City, to go out and get one of the best managers in the country, promise them huge numbers / wages, with FFP and turnover that doesn’t even cover half our current wage bill.

Quite sure there was an application process for that one, Hughes hadn’t even managed in club football at that point, and he’d played for us 12 months before.

Doesn’t exactly help dispel the “they still think it’s 95” nonsense when you’re asking questions like that.

Says “Get the Badge in” 😉

My favourites of recent times, the Mulgrew and Danny Graham ones. The Craig Conway one with punching Calzaghe is also brilliant I think there is a Chris brown quote in one of those about “they still think it’s 95” and plenty on the stuff about the team preferring to play away at that time.

@JHRover and your credentials as CEO for a football club are? Personally would rather see a head coach decide who he is working with, and I always take LET with a pinch of salt anyway.

As hard as it is to accept - our league position is due to 46 games not pre and post Christmas. Out performed with a bigger budget, wage bill, inherited squad and still only managed a 1 point gap. A “top manager”…? Sounds like the opposite of sour grapes to me JHR. I find it incredulous that you can swivel from calling ours a rip off and theirs a good deal, purely down to this and the local geography. Each to their own.

I can’t remember you waxing lyrical about Kamiski’s distribution at Copenhagen? Whilst you’re welcome to this view, to me it simply sounds like an opinion created to enforce another. The caveat of Raya getting worse is utterly laughable since he’s essentially now an established premier league player with an international cap.
