  1. Doom and gloom in our house all day. So sad for him. I couldn't bring myself to post about it. I thought Mowbray's Sky interview was very dignified. It moved me too.
  2. The secret of good comedy is timing though. Taking the piss is not the problem for me. It is the attempt to sideline and dismiss someone, who is trying to do something positive...
  3. BUT....as an employee of the club, I would expect that all moneys ought to go back to into the club....I guess that would require owners, who were vigilant anf had processes of scrutiny in place....
  4. What a mean spirited, non-constructive contribution!
  5. Land sales/property investment is really not my strong suit. What is your working hypothesis about all the different ways that club employees could make personal gain from this? If it is unwise/too unsafe to make a public post PM me...It sounds like I need to sharpen my own awareness....
  6. Being ruthless, I wouldn't break the bank to keep Rothwell. We just can't rely on him to show often enough. He flatters to deceive. A very frustrating player. I would not trust Tony to do the rebuild either. Some gems like Dack and Armstrong, but far too many duds and expensive ones too.
  7. Absentee landlords, who have chosen that same "succession of different people" and who have repeatedly failed in their duty to be vigilant. It's a wee bit more than name over the door.
  8. Well the Brentford manager seems 5 years ahead. Hoofball! We are not at the races, I'm afraid.
  9. Hmm...First secrecy, then "hurry up"..Consider a rat smelt!
  10. It rankled with me too. All those fans at The Valley...then that team selection...
  11. Gutted, when Lee left....like a bereavement!
  12. Reclaim the Rovers...I love that....I will see if my friend can design me a T-shirt!
  13. Yes, my own sense is that it is a cancer and it needs to be cut out totally...and that the Coventry 3 are probably only(!) symptoms like Anderson, Kean, Agnew etc. Not sure if we have the surgical team available at the moment? Sometimes, maybe, the symptoms have to be dealt with along the way?
  14. At this moment in time, I would just like to be sure it is Venky's, who are driving this. I am not giving them a free pass( see my pen name lol)....but the Coventry thing makes me particularly uncomfortable....and it is urgent.
  15. It certainly crossed my mind. However, I would like to see the honest working out. How much does the academy cost? What does it deliver in terms of players to the first team, player sales? Of the players we have picked up from other clubs, e.g. Travis from Liverpool, JRC from Man U, 1) What ages did they come to Rovers? 2) Did our Cat 1 status have any bearing on the capture of Travis et al ?
  16. I guess there is a question for Waggott about the actual benefits to the club of Category 1 Status and what will be the negative consequences, should the club lose it. Then, it will be relatively simple to measure this against any financial benefits of land sale/ bringing it all under one roof etc....
