A supercomputer has tipped us to go down along with Cardiff and Oxford. We aren’t tipped to finish 24th though, so every cloud….

Someone’s a meeja whore!

I agree. I can’t work out if he’s already proven himself shit at communicating and just said the wrong thing, or if he knows that behind the scenes that they still haven’t agreed a budget and the manager is already pissed off.

He’s done interviews. My point was he was asked at the WATR AGM and said he wasn’t prepared to discuss transfers. Eustace was.

Rudy did communicate in his new role as head of football that he would prefer it if nobody asked him about transfers. He’s also very keen on improving communication with fans.🤣 You couldn’t make this shit up!

I thought it interesting that Eustace put on record that he thought we needed 4 or 5 quality players to be competitive. That is clearly his assessment of the squad. He also said we were low on numbers. Eustace doesn’t strike me as anyone’s fool. His expectation must be that he’s going to get those players and that he expects there to be a budget to do so. I don’t think he would have said it otherwise. The alternative view is that he’s already frustrated by what he’s seeing develop and he’s making it clear exactly what support he expects. Ergo those comments were aimed at the club in the same way JDT used to make barbed comments. I certainly don’t see Eustace as a ‘yes’ man.

I think they’re currently trying to decide how they can get away with blaming our lack of transfer activity on FFP. It’s going to take some doing this summer.

Alarm bells ringing! warning lights flashing! existential threats! High drama!!

They’re probably in the arrivals lounge waiting for Pasha to return from India bearing budgets.

Was yesterday the first day back on sale after the early bird?

All good questions, which all could have been asked at the WATR AGM. And still no head of technical. At least GB and JDT held the club to account. The impression I got from Gestede was that he wasn’t going to do that. I wouldn’t be surprised if the budgets that Pasha went to India to agree a week or so ago are still not agreed.

I think Jackson said Fleck has joined pre-season to prove his fitness, but that Fadz hasn’t cos no contract agreement as yet.

Who mentioned contracts? Annihilated. Fed a length. You use weirdly aggressive language 🤣

It’s funny, but the other person who accused me of making it up conceded I wasn’t when they read what the club had said. So, I’d suggest it’s you who needs to learn to read. The annihilated part is funny though. Thanks for the laugh.

I’m sure Football Insider is a dingle! We’ve lost out on about 12 players already this summer according to that account.

You are doing God’s work, sir.

We’ll know soon enough, wasn’t Pasha on the plane to discuss budgets with them a couple of weeks ago? It amazes me the funding question wasn’t asked at the WATR AGM when they had the manager and head of football sat in front on them. Absolutely baffling!

That’s to be read as ‘while we wait for the August court case on matters unrelated to Rovers, venkys have filed a ‘present application’ to fund Rovers. The outcome of that application, according to Rovers, is that they can fund Rovers without impediment.

It’s in the post above the one you quoted

Venkys will blow their owners out of the water with their wage offer!

They said it.

I though Rudy ‘head of comms’ Gestede refusing to answer a question about transfers/budgets was quite telling!

Yeah, possibly.

Which is?

They’ve said there are no impediments to funding the club in the way they’ve done prior to last summer. That doesn’t mean they will.
