The pathetic-ness of it too. Why would angry fans give a monkeys what some fresh in the door clogger has to say via some scripted platitudes?

Come on Todd himself (or his ‘social media manager’) posted on Insta that everything’s hunky dory, so defo nothing in it and he will be here 2nd February leading us to a glorious 21st place.

Yep, from Eustace going onwards it has been such a total farce they no longer can keep a lid on it. They got lucky with a few decent managers in a row that managed to keep the show on the road and crowds stayed fairly stable (still far too low, but steady), leaving the regime to quietly get on with their cutbacks. But like everything in life, too many cut backs and overall neglect has led to the dam breaking (quite literally in some ways) and they are scuttling around like insects when a rock is lifted.

He does seem to have been wheeled out this season in a far more prominent front of house role in his club tie. They must think that adds some kind of sheen of respectability and normality to their dysfunctional set up.

Answered your own question there

The players (and manager) must think this is a right mad house… at least they get well paid to be part of it.

‘Passion’ and ‘standards’ at the club? Where?

Exactly, signings docs and the like as he’s a Companies House named Director. Running the club, no chance, he’s nearly 80, he didn’t even run it back in the day once John Williams came ih.

We may know about TC on the 1st… but we’ll know he won’t he replaced on the 2nd.

End of the day we’ll know on the 1st Feb.

Because Suhail and Gestede are Muslim, perhaps?

So the opposite of what happens here then.

Good job we didn’t get a home FA Cup tie (and no potential replay these days, of course) as presumably we’d be scoping out playing at Chorley (or maybe Clitheroe?) for that extra fixture too?

Rob Coar is running the club?! Behave.

The Ultimate List should just end in November 2010 with a black page.

To be fair you can't expect to buy players and have decent drinks on offer.

Teams that go down are always full of sob stories. But guess what? Jettison your experience and bring in cheap replacements who don't know the division and you end up staring down the barrel. Not 'unlucky', not 'if we'd just'. We aren't and we didn't and that's solely due to the very conscious choices made by this disgusting regime.

The protest has happened and is continuing to happen. We had an average crowd of 25,000 when they arrived, how many people were *actually* in the ground last night? 5,000? Any other club this would be leading to end game, the owners would know the jig us up. Here? Does anybody really think alarm bells are ringing? Or will it just be Suhail ordering more cut backs for next season and the next and the next until we are sharing facilities with Accrington Stanley.

‘Normally, it would be someone else here to explain what's happened. We have a lot of 'head of' in the club’ You’ve noticed too, Val! As always, the manager has to front up for a load of senior people that earn big money but are accountable for nothing and to no one.

If it costs a million quid plus, it costs a million quid plus. These types of works are the *absolute minimum* obligations of a football club at any level, I.e an infrastructure that means you can fulfil your fixtures. If the owners can’t/wont meet those, then sell up and fuck off.

I’d rather have a Weston Super Mare, but if it is to be a PL away game, rather those two than a ground we saw regularly (you know from when we were a top football club pre November 2010)

This is what those scumbags have reduced me to, hoping for a ‘big day out’ somewhere as it’s obviously totally unrealistic to expect to move up one whole division.

It’s the ‘rainy season’, so very silly of the EFL to schedule matches at this time, bit like when the ICC try and arrange cricket in the middle of West Indies hurricanes or Bangladesh monsoon seasons.

Everton or Tottenham away, as I doubt I’d ever see Rovers at those places otherwise.

We obviously are where we are as half way through the season and I expect, as always, they’ll just try and muddle through (and hope that rare metrological phenomenon ‘rain’ holds off on match days). But do they deserve all the opprobrium that comes their way in the meantime? Yes.
