What kind of turmoil? They're hiding it well to outsiders if so. 7 new signings and only really lost Muric and possibly Taylor that would be around the first team. I doubt Parker was first choice for many but he'll probably do ok with that squad. It'll be very different/boring in comparison to the VK promotion season but I doubt they'll care of they go up.

Unless we defy all the odds and have a cracking start, it'll probably be the easiest it's been for a long while to secure a ticket

Apart from them twats having their logo on it, really stands out too 🤮

Got back off holiday around lunch, always a depressing time, made the stupid mistake of watching that shit show to make matters worse, utterly dreadful. I know I know it's pre season, all about fitness etc etc but you'd at least like to see a few glimmers of hope for the season ahead. Nah, none.

Pissed off employee I'd say. This time last year I was employed by Mike Ashley, I despised the complete and utter mess him and his minions made of a respectable company. In the final months I had no issue telling random people on the Internet information purely from a moral perspective because I hate scumbag owners. This person seems to be in a similar boat. A genuine, decent person with morals.

Sadly there'll probably already be an internal investigation into it. People were sacked last season for leaking pictures of the kit amongst other reasons. It's a fucking vile place to work now by all accounts after being a well run family club.

Surely the word insider alone means its a current rather than former employee, otherwise why the name insider? That would make Rovers Outcast more apt? What I do know is most within the club are actively looking to leave, apart from obviously those who are highly paid for doing fuck all like king rat Suhail and slimey Steve, the twats.

Hard to believe people on here are STILL falling for the stories, like Krul, that the club put out to pretend we're gonna sign anyone decent. Granted its getting less and less people as time goes by though.

Well wheres it too tight? I'm an XL in 'regular clothing' too and an XL shirt fits me. Bit snug on my shoulders but I've got bigger shoulders than your average person.

Scott Wharton is in Germany anyway, unless he's meeting them there but he deffo ain't travelling with them.

Dykes has 6, 8 and 8 goals in his last 3 seasons, bearing in mind that's in 112 appearances. Those are Gallagher style stats, he has 3, 8 and 9 but in less game (95). I know you enjoy turd polishing but if you'd be happy with that kind of signing the mind boggles. Thankfully I don't for 1 minute believe we're interested anyway, Nixon links us every transfer window, added to the fact he signed a new 3 year deal this time last year.

Well neither of them have happened the last times were supposed to have been after both of those players, Nixon recycling names....

Krul never was likely, he's just a character in this summers transfer pantomime that we go through every year.

Something else to add to the list of depressing things (sorry).... In addition to the lack of signings, I make out that 13 teams in the championship have signed players from overseas now. I'm talking the likes of Sheff Wednesday, Derby, Plymouth! Fucking Plymouth! All seemingly having a better European scouting network. Or is it just that our scouts are sending recommendations through but just being told we haven't got a pot to piss in. In which case, what's the point in even having scouts? I should really have mellowed to this shit show after all these years but instead I feel myself absolutely ripping at the minute 😡

Not really to my taste but they'll definitely shift some of them, seen a fair bit of positive feedback. I've no issue being a bit experimental with the 3rd kit, which we're unlikely to even wear, it's how it should be IMO. As an aside, I believe the only reason it was launched today, before the away kit, was due to 'supply issues' on the away kit......

The Cooper story sounds like the ever familiar 'we tried' story as it mentions A) other clubs being interested and wages being a deciding factor. They'll have told Elliott to publish that story to try and give some hope that we'll sign a few and subsequently shift a few more season tickets maybe. All so predictable and ultimately we'll end up with a young lad on loan as option Z

Rudy hasn't taken the time out to update his LinkedIn so can't look on that for clues as to what the job entails. Although if you look at what Suhail allegedly does you'll laugh, a lot, basically everything that's fucked at the club (mainly because he doesn't actually do it). As for Rudy I actually know what the job entails. Waggott as we know is retiring quite soon, Rudy has been brought in to shadow Swag and in turn inherit duties as he takes a 'step back' to "wind down" and ensure everything is in good shape before he departs (this is how he will have sold it the twats in Pune, not my thoughts). When he retures we'll have a combination of king rat Suhail and Rudy effectively running the club, I use the term running very loosely, running it into the ground is more apt. 9 years king rat has been at the club, 9 fucking years. I'd love to hear an interview about his achievements in that time I really would. I really hope that eventually the penny drops with the wider fan base and he comes more into focus. As much as Swag is vermin, he's at least engaged with fans to an extent (for what it's worth).

KFC banners over all the venkys ones? Are they even a competitor to the Venky Xprs, god knows

Nike fucked themselves over with the rainbow St George flag or whatever the hell it's supposed to be too. Lots of fans opting for retro, the offerings on https://www.prodirectsport.com/soccer/l/departments-clothing/subdepartment-replica/activity-football/england/retro-shirts/ A far better alternative, not to mention way cheaper, the '82 shirts my personal faves.

How do we even know a 3rd choice Spezia keeper even exists? As far as I know they don't even have a reserve team like most Italian clubs or they just play in the lower leagues. Seems like a proper football manager database job 🤨

Waggott is his puppet, he's hardly going to post things like that. Said this time and time again, Suhail is under the radar for so many of our fans when he's causing absolute carnage behind the scenes 😡

Think we're far more suited to playing Holland than most teams we have so far. If they go toe to toe with us and attack it'll make for a far better game. We've got players who will know VVD's weaknesses inside out and personally think he's a liability these days.

Kane looks closer to 40 than 30 at the moment, I'd rest him next game, brave move perhaps but he seems burnt out and given how deep he's made to come he will be. Palmer starts next game too for me. The penalties were flawless though and will give them a massive boost.

Brighton bid 30m for Rutter, its criminal that he's gonna end up going for way more than Szmodics when he didn't have anywhere near as good a season. Well aware of the age difference, just sad to see. Although we wouldn't see any of the 30m anyway so maybe I shouldn't be that arsed.

I'd love to know how much we pay our head of marketing position. It's a very well paid job in a normal organisation, but here I bet its way under the industry average, hence we end up with monkeys, or nobody.
