  1. Absolute sheer incompetence. Honestly it makes you wonder if following this club is worth it. You couldn't make it up - they announce a deadline day and then say they are closed on that day.I
  2. I think that's a bit unfair. He wasn't allowed to sign players except the likes of Davies and Jagielka who were unattached as well as bringing some youngsters through and managed to get them playing some decent stuff. And all the other things off the field he had to deal with impressed me.
  3. I'm in the same position. I'm so frustrated at the way the club is run by incompetents, absent owners whose silence and disrespect is hurtful but after chatting to my brothers we decided to renew as we go to the games together and it's the main thing we do together. And in truth if it wasn't for that we almost certainty wouldn't be renewing.
  4. Under normal circumstances and primarily with Lenihan going I wouldn't want to sell another centre half but given his wages (rumoured to be in the top three earners) and awful injury record I would sell him. We just can't rely on him to stay injury free.
  5. The here and now for some is the managerial appointment. The right appointment could be the boost you allude to but the wrong one could see us returning to mid 80's sales. But the absolutely most galling thing is the powers that aren't aware of this or simply don't give a stuff.
  6. Sorry we made a bit of a mistake tear gassing all them Liverpool fans........ https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/12630639/champions-league-final-paris-police-chief-didier-lallement-apologises-for-tear-gassing-liverpool-fans
  7. I know quite a few season ticket holders who are holding back should there be another Coyle style appointment. A couple have said they have written to the club telling them this. Surely somebody down there should have the gumption to realise this and at the very least extend the deadline until a few days after an appointment. It could be a tipping point for an already hugely depleted can base.
  8. To me it's immaterial where he has gone. My concern is the standard and cost of his replacement. Ditto Rothwell and Nyambe.
  9. None of us know the figures involved despite many assertions and assumptions. From what I heard Rovers didn't try particularly hard and negotiations pretty much stalled from the first offer and I have a vague recollection of Lenihan saying he wanted to stay. In fact somebody on here posted that Waggott told him he thought Lenihan would stay.
  10. The point lots of people are making is how much it will cost to replace him. If we get an oven ready Championship centre half he will want paying accordingly not to mention a potential transfer fee. Financially the whole deal makes no sense from a Rovers perspective.
  11. For me he is our best centre back and a like for like replacement will cost us a considerable about in a potential fee and wages. Of the three centre halves we relied on pretty much all last season two are now gone.
  12. I posted on here a few weeks ago that I had been told that the trees/bushes were being removed to make the Academy bigger with a view to moving the STC down there. It was told to me by an excellent source. Although to be fair I wasn't told about any land for sale or sold. It seems strange though as the owners have just bought the STC unless there is something afoot like circumventing rules and regulations. Incidentally that shrubbery was put up when the STC was there to stop any spying on first team training sessions. The instigator was Roy Hodson.
  13. It's a step in the right direction for me and hopefully he has an insight into Norwegian and Scandinavian football and can bring some quality players in (visas and permits allowing). I've always felt the Scandinavian market is untapped and maybe there is some logic (for once) behind this. Oh and he's probably cheap too.
  14. He played with a 35% fear in his Achilles? What a load of nonsense - I have had strained Achilles and could hardly walk, even with painkillers and anti-infammatories.
  15. Whilst one of two have said they will wait to see who is appointed I don't believe it's worth your criticism. Everyone has their tipping point and that could come at any time for a whole host of reasons. I effectively boycotted when Kean got another deal after being relegated and when we appointed Coyle. And you know it was difficult not planning and preparing for games, missing some of the people I have met through Rovers but I felt that I just couldn't support what we had done in appointing them imposters. The minute they went I went and bought (along with family and friends) the 'season tickets' they were offering from the time they left. During that period I respected people who went even though I would have liked to have seen many more boycotting to make a bold statement. So for me it's each to their own - none of us have the right to be critical of any fellow fan's when they are following what their conscience tells them.
  16. They are in Scotland for the best part of a week and the likelihood is they will play a game in that time I have been told.
  17. The likes of Waggott wouldn't know 'thorough' if it bit him in the balls. I get the impression there is a culture of idleness amongst the senior managers down there. Take season tickets as an example. It appears that very little or no research was done amongst current and lapsed ticket holders. So they come up with a same price offer with a £30 extra charge for not renewing by a certain date. Then realisation kicks in, probably based on low sales and they extend the deadline and come up with an ingenious family ticket offer which is blown out of the water by similar Championship clubs. I used to think we were treading water with this lot. Now I believe we are drowning.
  18. When can we expect a six week warning from Rovers of an impending appointment?
  19. There are far too many variables right now to make a call on anything. Right now we have no manager, probably not enough decent players to put a team out and no real planning done amongst other things. Throw the incompetence of Waggott, Pasha and the owners and it doesn't paint a good picture.
  20. We already have a de facto DoF in Pasha who everything has to be run by and by the sound of things is the only person with anything near autonomy to make decisions. The whole sorry saga is a mess and sadly will never improve whilst that lot are here in my view.
  21. Chorley have brought out a pre season shirt which is something I've never heard of. It's quite innovative really and for a non league club to think of it is a feather in their caps.
  22. Class from the Wales players and staff who went to the area where the Ukraine supporters were and applauded them for a couple of minutes.
  23. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61681762 Real Madrid also have pertinent questions of EUFA around the organisation and policing in the CL final. And they confirm their fans were 'victims of said events' too dispelling the story that there was no trouble at the Madrid end of the ground.
  24. He's isolating in one of the dungeons.😂😂 They seriously expected to believe guff like that though.
  25. Liverpool's Academy doesn't just produce good players but good coaches too. Steve Cooper, Michael Beale and Ian Critchley have all worked there in the recent past.
