That was an awful time. Still infinitely better than the last eleven years.

But you might be able to bring 1 friend with you to a couple of games....

November 2010.

Under Venkys, yes. We were top half in the Premier League when they took over. Anything other than that is a total failure and unacceptable. "They made some mistakes early on" as people keep parroting but my question is what have they done to rectify those mistakes?

The fact we are still fourth shows how piss poor this league really is. Anything other than first or second is not good enough given where we were in December.

He will be here next year. He's perfect for what the owners want. Mid table in this division.

How low are season ticket sales going to be next year when we finish 13th and the price will go up to £550?

What effort did they make?

Another total fucking disgrace.

Sludge out!

Mowbray out. Waggott out. Venkys out.

Beat we can hope for is 0-0. According to the people in charge at the club that will see us storming up to the top of the table.

I would snap your hands off to have that.

That's what irks me the most. When people say "where would we be without Venkys?" It just leaves me totally bewildered. It's like I'm in an alternate reality.

My season ticket cost £90 when I was a junior. That was to watch a top ten Premier League team who were in Europe. And I didn’t realise that 12th place was the top of the division.

The difference between us now and where we were in the 80's is that we actually had ambition back then. The club genuinely had little to no money yet still had aspirations of promotion and even winning trophies. Now we have owners who are supposedly billionaires yet we are in a worse place than where we were back then. Crumbling infrastructure, sub standard pitch and zero desire for anything better than mid table mediocre anonymity. The whole situation is totally unacceptable.

The problems they have with FFP are entirely of their own making. The amount of revenue the club generates is unacceptably low. The owners invest as little as possible. The stae of the pitch and the deterioration of the stadium are proof of this. Investment in these areas is not subject to FFP. Our piss poor performances and league positions over the last 11 years are the symptoms. The owners are the disease.

If we are not in the Premier League by the summer then Mowbray should definitely be gone. Whether that happens or not is yet to be seen. The question is of course, who would be his replacement? Firstly, there is not likely to be a big wage on offer. Then there is the reality of attracting someone who will have something about them that can offer us more than just meandering around in the second division. They will have to do a total squad rebuild, likely with little to no funds. What can Rovers offer to anyone coming in? We are a club with no ambition, no drive, no desire no heart, no soul and no purpose. We are marching into our second decade of disgrace. We are a joke, a shadow of what we used to be and the owners have shown no ambition to do anything other than potter about in the middle of this piss poor league.

Certainly not many of our squad.

The spiral continues....

Remember when we were the "bully boys"? We seemed to win quite a bit back then.

0-2 The spiral continues.

He had a genuine personality and it always shone through.

This was another belter of an episode. Yasir sounds like a top bloke and it's great to see the club are actually making some real effort to get people from the town to come down and support their local team. It's important to get the message out there to the young kids, your town, your team. Also been fun looking back at our league cup win. What an epic experience that was. I feel absolutely blessed to have been there for that. Just think of how many of those so called big teams can't say they've been to a major cup final and won...... We can.
