Upside Down

They are achieving the desired results.

What on earth could lead you to think we'd do something like that?

I suppose that's it in a nutshell really. This has been going on for 13 years. The same things over and over and over. Suspicious characters, suspicious dealings, suspicious activity. The only constant throughout the whole thing is venkys. How anyone can think that our issues are caused by anything or anyone other than them is beyond me. The O'Brien debacle last year was as venkys as you can get. Scuttle the deal at the last minute then spend the next month and thousands of pounds lying and covering it up.

Anyone who doesn't have that kind of money wouldn't be able to buy any club at this level. Fortunately your track record of predictions is as bad as venkys running of this club.

Seriously, do you ever have an opinion of your own?

Pathetic really. How does every other club in this division survive without venkys? Take the chicken blinkers off.

How so? The reduced prices and increased revenue. That's only taking into account the ticket revenue and not match day and merch etc.

Been through through this a million times. It's a total nonsense argument.

A sale is the best option for all parties concerned however, we know the stagnant pond in which venkys fester so it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see someone else of their ilk. On the bright side though, buying football clubs is in vogue and what better club to buy than one of only seven premier league winners. I just want rid.

As with the last game, fortunately the manager takes the cup games seriously.

I know we're really shit at the moment but surely we've enough about us to put down a side from Division Four.

I think he personifies mediocrity to be honest.

You really think we could afford a picture of Brotherston?

It's been like that for years regardless of who's the manager. What else can you expect when the club systematically has no ambition?

Absolutely nothing like the 80s. Back in the 80s the club had ambition to be more that just about surviving. It was just in a struggling position. Now the club is deliberately in this position and looking to deliberately go down to the next league so it can be run even cheaper.

He might also be in a position where he as to pay out his contract to quit. There has to be a breaking point with him. I have no idea how he's managed to tolerate the absolute dog shit of a club that he's working for. JDT has been lied to from day one.

There's been so much strangeness and at times a total inversion of reality over the last 13 years. I still think one of the strangest has to be how Tony Mowbray, a man with less personality than a pile of rotting sea weed, had such a massive personality cult amongst the fan base. I don't think I'll ever not be completely baffled by that one.

Every single defunct club has been reformed in one way or another. Except the ones that dropped out in 1899 or whatever but I just looked at the ones that went out recently.

Administration. One hundred percent.

How much?

Yes I'm not sure how anyone can have a strong opinion about a coach unless it's an open secret that they are totally useless. But he seems to get a lot of praise from former players. I don't have a fucking clue about whether any of our coaches are any good or not. I can have an opinion on a player, I get to see them. Probably a lot to do with him not being a professional player himself. It's also very strange that the new manager HAD to take him and the other fella. But hey, this is venky FC so why should anything be a surprise.

Absolutely nothing would surprise me at this club

He's cheap and he doesn't ask questions. That's the only way anyone can get a job at Rovers.
