Even Jesus Christ himself cannot save this team from failure. Everything is set up to do so from the boardroom to the cleaners. Eustace may be a bit rubbish, but we could do even worse. Re-sign Coyle, get Rooney or some out of work has been like Strachan for example.

Enjoy

Even Pep or Klopp would not succeed with the club. The wheels have truly come off and it'll be luck that might save us this season.

This club is dead. It is finished. There is no chance of anything positive happening unless the Raos sell the club, and since that's never going to happen...... All the players with the exception of Sammy are bottle jobs.

We're off to League 1 if we play like this. When will those bums sell the club and do one?

At least Shearer will go to bed knowing the only thing he has ever won was with us.

Wow, wasn't expecting this drama. Have my second break and it's penalties.

Another well done for the tennis balls. Got Warnock and Murphy mentioning the owners. Hopefully more will join in next time.

All I'm interested in is if there are any Venkys Out banners and so on. We'll lose this one thanks to our weak squad.

Couldn't stand him as a DJ, but I get the feeling he was a good guy, and welcomed the newer, younger DJs.

1 game and it's already Eustace out. Wow. I've not looked, but I bet there have been a few of our best managers that have lost their first game. Perhaps we should have rotating managers like the hosts of Have I Got News For You, or hold a raffle for fans to have a go at the next game. How the hell can someone come into this club and then magically stop it being some sort of insane crap show within a week when the clowns are still in place? And how do you expect a head coach to rid us of those clowns? Buy the club? Launch a tactical nuke to Pune?

Arse. Venkys Out.

I hope we do have a sell on clause.

It'll be as little as possible. Batty, and other kids will become the squad players, we will sell a few players and bring in some 21 year olds from the reserves of Liverpool, Chelsea etc. on loan. Sammie will probably be sold too.

I was watching a stream of 49ers fans in LV at a party watching it, and I could feel the deflation that followed the tension. They must feel like we did after the Euro final a few years ago. Hopefully they won't start fighting. And Taylor Swift can only write about ex boyfriends.

Sounds like the 2003 rugby union world cup with how close and tense it is. The fans must be in knots. Edit: Gone into overtime. With how fat Americans can get I hope they have the defibrillators ready for the fans in the stadium.

The Taylor Swift Hive Mind will be unhappy at the moment, Kansas are losing 10-3 as I type. She'll probably break up with him next week if he loses, and all the 14 year old girls, flamboyant gays and crazy cat ladies who listen to her songs will be sending death threats to that player.

What was the response to those with the banners from other fans?

Fancy passing out the back is great if you have defenders and a goalie like Liverpool or Man City do, but we don't have players half as good. Keep it basic and solid, and get the midfield and forwards to do the fancy stuff.

The only downside is that people will be looking away from the elephant in the room. Still happy so far though.

Good start. One bit of positive news after the drama.

I suppose I call them the Venkys as I probably see it as a sign of disrespect at a subconscious level to get their name wrong on purpose. It's like calling someone Tim when their name is Tom, and being dismissive when they correct you.

The BBC has us as a 4-4-2 with JRC as left winger, Hedges in the middle and Dolan in the right. Probably wrong, but we will see when the game starts. I expect loads of frustration and cursing during the match on this thread.

The delegation are probably going to Castle Greyskull to be told to reduce the budget by 50%, no more transfers with any fees and so on. They should be urging the Raos to eff off and sell the club but that would mean they'd be replaced by competent people.

I've noticed a few channels on my YouTube page have been covering the McGuire debacle and saying we're a club in crisis. They're not the largest channels, but a few have 6 figure subscriber figures, and are about the wider football scene and not just Rovers.
