Old Codger

If Rovers were in prison, we'd be on very strict suicide watch just now. All the signs point to deliberate self-harm, confusion, lack of engagement with those close to us, verbally painting a bleak outlook when questioned about the future and a definite air of hopelessness due to learned helplessness. For info, it has been scientifically proven that sentient organisms when placed under conditions of enduring no hope, give up. If these criminally negligent buffoons in Pune sanction the selling of the only glimmers of hope available to the club in this window, that will be the end for many, including me. Gloomy times - what a mess.

I think it is telling that a 'delegation' comes over from India, then there seems to be another flurry of cost cutting measures that further tie the manager sorry head coach's hands. If a bid comes in for Szmodics, A Wharton, or Carter, what is the betting that the whole season gets written off so that the sodding bean counters can save face?
