Delta, Virtu, Nike, Coral sounds like an ambitious commercial department meanwhile our lot go to one naff Lancashire networking brunch and get a main shirt sponsor from down the road and can’t bring in anything with reach outside of a 25 mile radius of the club (macron as the exception by necessity) edit: JH beat me to it and put it much better

This reads very much as the venky party like being towed

Agreed once the injuries start to hit in Nov/Dec we really will be screwed, if you take some of the players who are more probable bets for a few weeks of treatment out of contention for the 11, it then is one dross team

If we can hire the digital ad boards outside ewood - would happily chip in for a Pasha Out / Gestede Out / Venkys Out ad and of course that lovely quote from Mrs D about respecting Jacks legacy

With Travis and Hyam likely out the door, it doesn’t bode well for them as there’s only Tronstad and Cantwell so far with any reasonable sell on value left to move on to keep the lights on. Carter arguably could be included but is injured so often that I can’t see a decent fee there any more. Should none of our cheap punts work, this time next year looks like it will be a horrible time

Excitement for this one is at a low. Think we will likely set up not to get beat and be very defensive and create nothing going forward and play the game like we’re playing them away Predicting a 2-0 win for Brum, a half effort performance from Tronstad, Tavares to get an early yellow and be dulled, Kargbo and Gueye introduced at 60mins, then a selection of kids at 80mins - snooze fest toth Pickering miller mcloughlin Ribiero Tavares Tronstad alebiosu cantwell de neve ohashi

“Back the lads ffs”

On the David Webb front - when their players collided and he gave them possession, he allowed their players to stay on the pitch. when Miller went down, off to the side to be called on two tier Webb

Have a weird gut feeling there’s a chance Cantwell may leave now we have a replacement in the building

Not sure if this has been spotted yet but too funny not to share - on doing some quick looking at the fixtures We are now showing as Route One Rovers on Google

To sum up where our club stand at the minute as if we are a local pub eatery with decent food & the plan and if you were a customer would you keep going to the local and trusting the plan? the brewery get into legal trouble so can’t fund the pub, an ambitious danish head chef leaves because he’s told by the pub manager he can’t choose the ingredients or the menu any more and has to get cheaper ingredients and equipment despite adding some danish flair we sell our nice oven to a London pub for a price that keeps the bills paid for a month and bring in an ambitious chef who wants to buy nice ingredients, launch a new menu and the pub manager starts to see results, but worries about the margins - changes his order at the wholesalers for cheaper ingredients without telling the chef despite promising him the ability to craft his menu his way… invariably he walks out and joins a worse pub down the road but starts to take his sous chef and pot washer and front of house with him the long standing bar manager takes over in the kitchen, gets some results and is eschewed aside for an out of work French chef who’s last few kitchens have failed hygiene standards .. but he comes in and tries hard after a rocky start and agrees to buy unknown weird ingredients and work with the microwave he starts building a menu bringing in foreign untried ding ding meals on the hope the locals will like them the pub raise prices meanwhile without doing any decor or refurbishment in the establishment and the place starts to look and feel tacky the new menu launches with a load of unknown dishes from the microwave as the oven, the grill and the sous chef all gone to pay bills the locals ask for feedback at a village meeting and the minutes keep getting delayed as the pub manager wants to hide the shambles behind the scenes whilst advertising their exciting new microwave menu and watered down pints of fosters

cant see any takers above lower end league one Failed on his loan at Sheffield Weds not fancied by any of last 3 managers really always a liability and a booking waiting to happen

For fifteen quid a game parking I hope they’re bloody valeting and washing them too disgusting though, as a big bulk of those parking closest there have to do so, maybe not as mobile etc (way to alienate some of the older fans and charge a struggling towns population who are already stretched financially further - and for some this may be their respite or only social outlet of a week etc) Let’s charge customers popping down to spend some money on tickets, shirts a little more for their privilege to park near the shop to spend money at a non match day rate who the f*** comes up with this shit?! No understanding of the town or its people and an absurd short termism mindset

@Disgruntled Rover - great research here and definitely feels a likely conspiracy here. Would not be surprised if this is accurate as the actions of club definitely feel incredibly averse to promotion come what may

He’s the profile we need….. cheap as chips

Thank you Glen and co who attended looking forward to the minutes @glen9mullan were the answers given sensible? Is there any room for optimism?

Just asked ChadGPT Ismael will stay, he has players of the profile he wants coming in, low wages relegation from foreign league fodder, but the right profile so don’t judge yet. Losing a member of coaching staff all part of the project. Get behind the lads ffs

What’s next with the protest and coalition action?

Hats off RoversClitheroe - that’s a very very good summary of the summer so far and reading that shows just how dismal this club really is at present. The 150 anniversary is a huge opportunity and so wide of the mark so far

Have a feeling that the atmosphere by mid September at Ewood could quite quickly turn incredibly toxic - Brittain already out the door and a foot into the next one Travis and Tronstad likely have their bags packed ready All three unlikely to be replaced by anyone of considerable value and direct impact on the team. A starting 11 likely of: Toth Duru Wharton Hyam De Neve Buckley Forshaw Kargbo Cantwell Hedges Ohashi Can't see where the results will come from - and once we start losing it's amazing how quickly the ewood tide can turn its anger to Pasha, Gestede, Venkys and Ismael

Just read the Lancashire Telegraph comments on the Dolan article and it has absolutely blown my mind how fast people turn on a player without seeing the wood for the trees on this one. its not that the player is greedy, or has an enormous ego - purely it’s because we as a club haven’t made a suitable offer and likely absolutely low balled him no wonder venkys are still here, still pulling the same shit and getting away with it

Is JCRovers and Chaddy the same person? they type alike

Some slight relief here thank you EIR
