Well considering we've played Burnley and Sunderland close this season (should have beaten both) I've no fear. If it was Sheffield United or a motivated Leeds United though I'd be slightly more concerned.

I've no interest in appointing a manager that's dragged his team into a relegation battle, thank you very much.

Our only hope is convincing a stud to sign a 6 month contract until the summer. I don't have a name for you, but someone that could drag us over the line and get us into the Playoffs and potentially up into the Premier League. If we don't get promoted this year I think the future is very bleak indeed and no manager worth their salt will want to be in charge.

I watched the 90 second clip on Twitter, which was edited for the Rovers relevant parts. https://x.com/SkySportsNews/status/1890035654106415424 He comes across very poorly - there's a constant smirk plastered to his face, which breaks out into a full blown grin at the Kidderminster / owners question "Not really". The worst thing is he's now on record as lying. He said after the FA Cup game that he'd heard today (Sunday) about the approach from Derby and he needed to talk to the Board. Obviously today he's just said Derby first approached him on Friday. From one of our board members we know that the approach was made even earlier than that. I hope he takes them down.

It was a bold, although definitely foolish, choice to have Vince McMahon win the rumble.

Even against Wolves - the drop off in quality from Kargbo / Dennis (on debut in England / hasn't played for 9 months) to Dolan / Hedges was stark. He's worked miracles.

The gap was much larger before our tiny squad made us drop all those points in January.

I hope they're both on their way down the M6 as we speak. We don't need any of Eustace's disciples taking the team.

We were a mid-table Premier League club with minimal external funding from the Walker Trust when these clowns took over. Braindead doesn't even begin to cover it.

So what's their end game? Rovers bumping around the bottom of L2?

That public statement is why my seat will now be empty in the Jack Walker Stand. It was beyond amateurish. I found it embarrassing and insulting.

Of course he's leaving for money - our owners refuse to spend any, which is why we've had such bad transfer windows recently and most players contracts have less than 18 months left on them.

To be fair you look at the clubs he played for and Derby seem like world beaters in comparison.

And he was right to considering how the window went. It only takes a conversation or two with Rudy and co in December to realise they're not going to spend any money / bring in the 2 or 3 quality players he wanted.

With a massive frown on his face.

Who is Clinton Morrison?

With how the club is currently being run - month to month - I would not be surprised if there's a winding up order as soon as this time next year when all of the money has run out. I think we'll go out of business shockingly quickly.

I think he's after stability and assurances. The money will have been sounded out a week ago when they approached him initially. You'd just think this would have all been ironed out before the official approach was made.

Well there's a couple fewer season tickets in the Jack Walker Stand next year. We won't be the only ones. Let's see if Rudy and Steve can spin that into a win with the owners too.

Should have held off - he could have had mine.

I wonder what they could possibly be negotiating?

I think most would fancy it for 6 months. I think few would fancy the inevitable rebuild we're facing in the summer.

You care far more about this football club than I do. They could unveil Joey Barton tomorrow and I wouldn't bat an eyelid.

They have just effectively told a manager to fuck off for complaining about spending no money in January (after spending no money in the summer) and having the temerity to want longer contracts for himself and his players. If you think they're going to now spend money on an ambitious manager... well actually you're probably spot on, it's the kind of utterly, utterly bonkers thing they do. The clowns.
