And next time we play North end they'll start doing similar.

But in the owners eyes that probably qualifies him for a CEO (Waggots) wages.

I've only read the non paywall version so maybe the original is better. Yes it makes some good points but seems very jumbled up with a few contradictions. Just reeks of being left to AI.

How many actual ST holders are there to be counted in, barely 9k ? So they still need to shift over 2k match tickets to make the usual 11k+. A record number of complimentary's issued for tomorrow no doubt.

He might want to start doing a bit of proof reading then.

Great that it's in the media finally but obviously another shocking piece of AI created content.

Nixon the Rovers salesman will be advertising him soon to alert the high profile clubs.

Are they free or half price again as per Ipswich ?

I just think he struggles with Championship football and the high press Ismael tactics were everybody except Yuki is blowing out their arse after 20 mins.

Re-arranged night game low crowd expected anyway.

And we'll decide that the vocal minority should move to the riverside were it's cheaper because we don't like some of the chants. Or we'll price them out of coming altogether.

The Tafia were a great blend of heads and no doubt a big part of Hughes success here particularly Bowen. Everything just clicked but they were working for the best run club in the land at the time. To follow on the Souness years with the Hughes gang was a masterstroke by Williams/Finn and the Trust.

A rather odd question coming from a unionist i have to say.

It will certainly be the lowest league turnout since the ground was redeveloped but it's just yet another in a long line of record you don't want broken, broken. First visit to the third tier in nearly 40 years. Maybe the second longest spell ever out of top flight ? Record home defeat Various losing, non winning run records. How many managers in one season record ? Shortest reigning manager ever ? Lowest ave gates in real terms for 35 years. Probably lowest league away following the other night for 35+ years. Now lowest real home turnout in 36+ years on the cards. It's just one long farce.

Can't knock the mans graft but Yuki gets in about two good goal scoring positions per game often played in with a clear run on goal but the end product is usually nothing. Scores a pearler now and then which is great but to rely on him for many goal contributions is a weak philosophy.

You reap what you sow and this has been coming for 15 years it isn't a knee jerk to a run of bad results. The size of the crowd will make no difference whatsoever to the result and the clowns in charge want as many as possible in there so they can spin it to their bosses as a storm in a tea cup...again.

Not sure if Gestede came from money or not but hes always had the air of an entitled brat. I think though primarily he's all about the money and nothing else looking at his career and the fact he seems to be hated by fans of both Boro and Villa. Hes now managed to add probably the only remaining fans who liked him for his brief playing spell here although not sure how Cardiff fans feel. I seriously get Steve Kean era vibes from this lot now in charge though and this geezer would be the first person i'd boot through the door.

Unpopular opinion but Pears is probably the best or amongst the best 2nd Keepers in this league. And nobody is keeping many clean sheets in this present and recent Ismael team. 500k is a farce for him at this stage unless there are achievable add on's although maybe they are trying to be fair and get him fixed up but much more likely they are desperate to get that wage off the books. They won't want to pay a reserve keeper a first team wage and also that clown comes across as commission hungry to wheel and deal.

Agree it's a complete farce. Jack Walkers success in business and football was fuelled by hire the best you can get and pay them properly. Then there are no excuses but these lot operate a hire the cheapest friend recommended you can get. And they'll cost you a fortune in the long run in failure, cock ups and pay offs whilst in return you'll get nothing but a declining valueless product.

Sounded like a snake oil salesman desperate for commission on that phone call.

He'll never work at this level again once he's finished here.

Waggot was the public face of Rovers as a CEO should be but he was only half a CEO behind the scenes i'd wager. He took the brunt of the stick whilst the others hid in the shadows and he did his best often to hide as well although maybe he was gagged who knows. This is the club who went to lengths to hire a director of communications and then stopped him from communicating ! So they finally get Waggot out the door as the fall guy, after finishing 7th, then embark on wrecking the stability at least his presence provided. The last advert for a new CEO read basically as a stadium manager even Nixon confirmed this so it's obvious who is running everything now so they should be held accountable for everything. Starting Saturday.

Kind of backs up what the Peterborough end said about buying Leonard and how they were preparing themselves to pay more. Gestede is just desperate to sell anybody he can, bring money in so he can look good to the owners whilst spending a bit of it again on his united nations cheap punt scheme. What's he getting out of it ?

Crowd will be announced as 11.5k as usual.

Well we know how paranoid some are at Ewood over protecting their little gravy train so if they are forced to be taken down legally, they're real.
