Sutton sounds like he's nailed it. We are a development club. Waggott said it, stay up and develop players, that's the only aim.
That's the message from the top.
Abysmal.

Loving this draw, feels like under JDT we can cause an upset against most teams.
Huge shame it's not been picked for TV.

Telalovic off
Gilsenan on
Bit concerning if Telalovic hasn't played well and we've scored 5 goals.

Aye, thought penny pinching would be the reason but thought I'd double check!

That's not the reason it's been done though, so it's hardly 'wise' in any event.
What is the reason he's done it?

Mike Graham will be acting as interim chair until we have the chance to elect a replacement. This will either be at an EGM or our next AGM and the usual election process will apply.
It’s not a partnership, but our recent Memorandum of Understanding states that we will have regular dialogue. A link to the document is below to give you an idea of the scope of it.
We will be canvassing members for their ideas/opinions/questions for our next meeting over the coming weeks. Some areas definitely in the agenda will be:
- Ticketing
It won’t be long until season tickets planning starts happening internally, so this is high on our agenda. We have of course discussed this previously but recent events (the looming disastrous attendance v Cardiff, our efforts for the Girona friendly, feedback from lapsed season ticket holders, comparisons with other clubs) will all allow us to approach it in a structured and evidenced way.
- The current state of play regarding finances
Articles 2.d and 2.f of the MOU outline we can discuss current finances and ask questions regarding the ownership of Rovers. There is scope for us to push for answers beyond “The owners are fully committed”, and while we won’t necessarily get a picture of what is happening in India, we will be able to discuss the impact any issues are having on the financing of the club and highlight any concerns with the way we are being run.
We are awaiting and preparing for our first meeting since the MOU was signed, so it’s difficult to pre-empt any outcomes at the moment, but it should be the start of better dialogue.
Really glad to see this is being asked and I really hope you get some better answers than a standard brush off.
Apologies, when is the meeting?

Not sure I fully agree given how much Burnley spent, it’s not like they’ve been working on a shoe string
Luton are a small club and have clearly decided to pocket the cash and use it to secure the future and build a team for another promotion push
Fair enough, I actually didn't realise they'd spent that much. According to Transfermarket they spent just over £100m, it kind of reinforces my overall gripe that the financial chasm between the 2 leagues is insane, they have to spend that much just to be winless and in the bottom 3. (Yes, you can argue the money hasn't been spent well, poor manager etc)
Like Forest last season had to spend £150m to just about survive.

Think I'd actually play Pears in this one. Wahlstedt should be starting the next league came, confine Pears to the cups games from now on.

If Rovers have been bought by the same owners as Newcastle United by improving the club training factilities, spend money on transfers and appointed a good manager you would be complaining right now about beating a team 8 nil?
Newcastle have bought talent players like Isak, Guirmaraes but also signed Good English players like Gordon, Barnes, Tripper, Hall.
Chelsea have been much worst and I would say their recruitment since last summer takeover as been not good enough.
no its ain't time for the European Super League as the fans don't want it as they made it clear.
Brighton and Brentford are 2 great examples of how to build a club to be successful and sustainability PL club like we did in the 00's under John Williams time at the club.
I don't get why the PL clubs should distribute the cash evenly given that its the PL and the teams playing in the competition attract the TV rights, sponsorship, greater income.
Sheff Utd are skint, like the rest of us. Probably trying to grab as much cash as possible from this season in PL and take relegation and the parachute payments that come with it.
Do you know what Chaddy, if we were taken over by the Saudi state, spent hundreds of millions and just brushed aside a newly promoted, winless team 8-0, I actually think I'd view it as a bit of a hollow victory. Effectively beating a championship side that are only there to make up the numbers and pocket as much cash as possible, with consummate ease isn't something that I'd view as worth celebrating with much vigor tbh.
Like watching City routinely dispatch mid-lower premier league teams with ease, it's not really exciting, it's fairly bland and souless.
I don't really care who Newcastle or Chelsea have bought tbh, neither should have been allowed to spend that much. How can you be comfortable with those 2 spending insane amounts of money without batting an eyelid and just 1 league below, you have us, who struggled to sign what will arguably be our No.1 keeper for just £700k? Beyond mental.
The European super League is the only way to restore parity, remove the super rich clubs, have a more even distribution of the money, make things more competitive, even up the playing field more. I was against it when it was first mentioned but now, I'd happily see the back of these "big clubs", the ones that basically make the rules in English football, in order to improve the English game outside of the premier League.
Brentford and Brighton's success won't last forever, it relies on a number of pieces falling into place every time. Sooner or later, they will make a wrong call and they'll find themselves in trouble, just like we did as well as countless others in seasons gone by.
If you don't understand why there should be a greater distribution of wealth then you are, quite frankly, part of the problem.

Survival is the right word and it won't last forever. They'll both struggle again in a few a seasons.

You are correct, but that doesn’t take away from how abysmally terrible Sheff United are here.
I need 1 Sheff United shot on target and 1 Sheff United corner here for a decent pick up, and the only way that happens is if they shoot from one of their kick offs and the keeper has to tip it over.
Yeah they are what they are, a championship club (albeit a top end one) but at 6-0 up, Newcastle sub on £120m worth of players (just 2 fucking players at that)
Time for the European super League, this is just a pointless hollow victory.
-
What's the point in the prem now? Sheff Utd, Dingles and Luton get promoted from the Championship but then have to come up against a clubs like Oilcastle that can just pump extraordinary amounts of money into their club at will.
What chance does anyone have these days?
-
Games only 8mins old but Sheffield Utd look like an absolutely woeful team.

Hedges potentially missing for a while.
He’s injured and he will be out for a while,” Tomasson told RoversTV after the game at Portman Road.
“I don’t know how long at the moment, but it didn’t look great to be honest.
“We’ll need to wait and see on the medical report and he will probably get a scan on Monday, but he could be out for a bit of time.”

Unlucky today. Some great football, 3 goals and lots of positives to take.
Top 6 finish very achievable, once a few adjustments are made to the the midfield and Pears is dropped.
Top 6 is some way off if we can't stop conceding for fun.

Yeah, I'd definitely like to see us move to a 3 man midfield.

Just watched the low lights, not sure wtf Pears was doing for some of those goals, he literally punches one straight to their lad.
On the plus side, Leonard gets another, despite having a defenders arms wrapped around him and Szmodics finish was superb.
Still, no points though.

Something is clearly not working, despite this "cavalier" approach and creating more chances, we've still only scored 13 goals, which is pretty average in comparison to the rest of the league.
Hugely concerning that along with Southampton, we've conceded the most goals in the league (20).
I'm not buying his "it's individual errors" costing us goals argument as we're now shipping, on average, over 2 goals per game.
He absolutely needs to rethink this approach and address the balance, we aren't going to win many games if we keep conceding goals at this rate.
