Callum Wright was playing regularly for us - he moved to Leicester for the money

Correct - it has already got to a point where realistically it can never be repaid because it dwarfs both the club's assets and the revenue increase in the unlikely event of promotion to the Premier League

Except when he won the match at Hull by saving a penalty

Yes - they scored 3 goals

I think they won in spite of Raya not because of him

Yeah but at least you know Ed Sheeran will play the A Team

Aren't the "hardcore" season ticket holders ?

Wasn't it TM who employed Waggott ?

If you are not going to go by the official numbers then any discussion of attendances gets rather silly as people can just make up their own numbers !

Don't understand this. According to Wikipedia last 3 seasons attendances have been : 2016-17 12871 2017-18 12173 2018-19 14552

Why do you think Steve Waggott is incompetent ?

I think that is what is known as a triumph of hope over experience

Who would be in these meetings ?

That is a good summary of the problem. 4 of the 7 managerial appointments by Venkys have been disastrous and the other 3 - Bowyer,Lambert and Mowbray - below what people on here are hoping for. It doesn't point well to what would actually happen if Mowbray were removed.

First the CEO needs to have the powers of a CEO

To be fair to Bennett last weeks looked to be a mistake by the ref and for this week he had tracked back with the runner in to the box after the rest of the team had gone AWOL

I think that statement was true relatively early in to Venky's ownership. Certainly the rumour which was repeated in the media - whether true or not - that they bought the club unaware that there was relegation from the Premier League pointed to how low their standing was in the game. There was also contempt for the ridiculous talk about signing Ronaldhino etc which pointed to them knowing the square root of nothing about football

And no place for that sort of behaviour either

Have a good night's sleep and think it over. For all you know those "gutless bastards" may include former members of the Armed Forces, people who have fought against cancer, overcome injustice etc.

Simply no place for describing Rovers supporters who hold different views to yourself in those terms.

Agreed. And unfortunately I think your final sentence is correct as to how they would proceed.

Unfortunately very very average is the best they have done so far after nine years and four of their appointments were much worse than that

We will probably have to agree to differ. I get the impression that they are prepared to shell out on assets on which they think they can turn a profit but do not believe in paying above the normal going rate for employees like managers.

Unless we get lucky with Mowbray's approach yielding results or a new Messiah appearing as manager that nobody could realistically have forecast then you are correct

As you say, the key is finding them . Do you see Venkys managing to do that given their track record ? Even if they did would we be a more attractive proposition than other clubs who might come calling for the individual in question ? Cowley is reputed to have demanded and got a salary package of £1m a year before he would go to Huddersfield but can you imagine Venkys being prepared to pay that ?
