Waggot is about to oversee the lowest season ticket sales for 40 years. This on the back of a relatively decent season. He’s getting paid for failure. He’s not just on the gravy train, he’s driving it.

Bring back contested drop balls.

Waggots main job should be to stop the haemorrhaging of existing fans. He is failing . A 23% increase in 3 years in the current climate is laughable. He has no long term goal here. His sees his job to maximise revenue on a balance sheet for this season only with no planning for 2,3,5,10 years down the line. If he could have 3000 in paying £1500 each but isolating the rest he would probably do it.

Those Hungary players, who are in with a real chance of achieving something for their country in this competition, seem to want to be playing Nations League. They're over the moon. I said it last week, it's not the fault of the competition, which I quite lie. It's the fault of the timing of the World Cup. These games now should be the Autumn internationals. Also, good job this isn't Pickford else he would be getting murdered.

Don't worry. Good things coming apparently.

But this is a rovers forum and the last time Rovers employed a person from another club with no history in management was Kidd. If there were others in between they’d be referenced. If people were referencing Sammy Lee or Peter Taylor as an example of coaches not making good managers id see your point.

We’d probably call Nyambe in to weed, but let him sit there while Bennett, JRC or Gally do it instead.

Lenihan leaving itself doesn’t bother me. The fact we got relegated with Lenihan and Mulgrew in the side 5 years ago, and we’ve never permanently signed a better defender to the club in all that time, worries me.

Exactly. Looks an interesting appointment on paper, but if decisions are taking way to long to be approved, or simply ignored, from those that really have the power it might be a case of how long will he stick with us, rather than the other way around.

If Wagner rolled up now after this list of names I’d crack the champagne.

When I had the discussion with Birdie that Venkys were clearly going to be bad for the club back in the early protest days he looked at me like I was from a different planet then. None as blind as those who cannot see.

Waggot and Suhail interviewing Ainsworth:-

Not yet.

I’d imagine that if after several weeks of interviews we suddenly decided to approach a thrice-relegated from the championship manager already in a job, then we’ve probably been turned down by several of our initial targets. I would also imagine that if we made an approach to Rotherham to speak to him, then we’ve already spoken off the record and he’s highly likely to get it. I can’t see us rocking Rotherhams boat to speak to him, then turn him down.

And Bilic and Wagner. Oh wait. They're both available.

I actually think the Nations League has been a good idea. It’s just daft having them now to accommodate a winter World Cup.

Cue a bigger meltdown than Chernobyl.

Well that was a depressing catch up on the afternoon posts. Wagner is suddenly seemingly like Bob Paisley compared to the other likely lads.

I know we are off topic slightly but I don't understand your first paragraph. The question I always asked here is did Wagner act in the interest of helping Huddersfield achieve their best outcome that season? The answer is undoubtably yes. They had just played 4 games in 11 days and had got enough points to secure their play-off position. Why risk asking your team to play a 5th game in 15 days when all modern medical teams will tell you it comes with increased risks of injury to your players? I was frustrated at the time, but I can now accept that Wagner did the right thing for his squad of players and his club.

Re Wagner. This is the man who once Huddersfield had secured a top 6 finish rested his players against Birmingham in 2017 to make sure his team as in the best possible form for the play offs. Which they duly won and made millions by getting to the Premier League. Top club management and job done. It wasn't his fault Coyle had been so shite. When Mowbray rested half of his team at Charlton after we had been promoted, which potentially cost Plymouth a play off place, I don't recall Rovers fans slating him for on behalf of Plymouth. (More so on behalf of us winning the league).

Now when Kean and Coyle turned out to be crap and the fans used their voice, no one listened and we went down.

The club are doing good things apparently.. They’ve also put BBE season tickets up almost £100 since the COVID season, despite record low sales.

Let’s hope Kompany loves misery.

We don’t refuse to think that history will just repeat itself. We accept that it will . 👍
