Great times

It hasn't even happened yet and you can see it's already having an effect. The club are rattled, hence why they released that statement yesterday.

As it's a 3pm kick off, I hope The Coalition do have "an inside man" to get some photos/videos of the crowd (empty seats, hopefully) and also get the real attendance figure, as the clubs attendance figure will be total rubbish.

I guess the ticket sales for the Watford game are in the toilet. They're clearly rattled but at the same time trying to sow division in the fanbase. We lose and it's "Well, the boys didn't get the backing from the fans" Win and it's "The real fans were excellent and backed the lads through thick and thin" For most people, these words are totally meaningless but it will get the happy clappers chirping again.

Rovers fans seem to be finding Instagram posts which feature one of our delightful overlords, Balaji Rao, and are flooding the comments with "VenkysOut" or calls to sell the club etc. Comments keep getting turned off on the posts though.

A few journo's (Pete O'Rourke being one), are claiming that Wrexham are offering "up to" £19m for Sidiki Cherif of Angers. I assume that £19m would be heavily based around promotion to the PL but it shows how far behind we are, even against clubs like Wrexham, in both ambition and finances.

He's already said he won't change the formation. ---------------------Toth ------O'Riordan--McLoughlin--Pratt Miller--------------------------------Powell -------------Tronstad---TGH -------------------Baradji ----------Ohashi---------Jorgensen Assuming Cantwell isn't back and he's already said that Alebiosu won't start. I think we need to take Acheson out for a game (even though I rate him highly), we've conceded 6 goals in 2 games since he bizarrely took Pratt out of the team, so restore him. Powell is better than any of the alternative wing backs and I think he said Miller would be back for this one. TGH is toss but he'll run around a lot and put himself about a bit at the very least. Push Baradji higher up because he's unbelievable casual in tracking back.

Yeah, once they've gone or a takeover is well on the way. Absolutely.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Nixon chucking out a casual link to us spending £5m on a player

A reverse Boycott just undoes all the work of the original boycott, surely? Especially when the tag line is turn off the taps or not a penny more.

They're coming to the right place then

Expect nothing but a complete and total surrender against Watford. 0-3

This made me laugh, even though it's about Rovers 😞

Now 2 points behind Norwich and 3 behind Pompey. It's game over folks

Pompey currently gaining a point (game just started) sends us into the bottom 3

Just caught a bit of Ismael's post match interview. He's confirmed that Alebiosu won't start against Watford. Unbelievable. More TGH as a "wingback" 😂

You would imagine they'd have to cater for all season ticket holders regardless of whether they attend, as the club have no way of knowing how many will turn up, they all might or none of them might. Assume any additional tickets sale drive the need for more staff or not. Good to see its a low expected turn out though.

I'm in 2 minds with the current situation. Either: Gestede, Pasha, Owen & Ismael are all so arrogant/confident/stupid that this situation will be turned around once some players get back, so they genuinely don't think we'll go down. or They just don't care and see relegation as another chance to reduce costs, clear the decks, flood the first team with academy players and essentially become a feeder club to the championship by flogging off our academy players once they've got enough first team experience. Whoever signed that off, needs sacking. Unless he was earning £100 at his previous club.

Once we are relegated (and we will be) none of the following will be here, either due to getting the wage bill down, they hold some value or will want to leave: Gudjohnsen Alebiosu Tronstad Cantwell Mori Toth Miller Picks (assuming he's still here) Ribeiro (assuming he's still here) Pears Hedges (out of contract) TGH (not signed, end of loan) Baradji (not signed, end of loan) Cashin (end of loan) Jorgensen (Can't see him sticking around for League One) Forshaw (out of contract) Tyjon I think the club would look to shift out: Wharton Carter McLoughlin They'll want McLoughlin's wages off the books and Carter and Wharton might be difficult to shift due to injuries Which leaves: De Neve (might get a move back to a low level in europe) Taveres (no ones taking him) Kargbo (no ones taking him) Yuki (someone might take him, but he's been awful for a good while now) Montgomery Garrett Henriksson (might get a move back to a low level in europe) O'Riordan Pratt Litherland Powell Doherty Acheson (assuming he doesn't get picked off by a bigger fish) Michalski Barrett Edmonson (returns from loan) Dlamini That's a squad of 17, pretty much academy players (or dross) which I suspect would be the foundations for our lengthy exile into League One. Wage bill down significantly and pats on the back all round in the circus.

Was just about to say the same. He'll get sacked but only when the window is shut.

Not sacking him today is utterly ridiculous, last 2 results/performances have shown the whole thing has fallen apart completely. Managed decline, they want us down.

Instead of a post Xmas collapse, we've just had a full season one.

In the last 2 games we've looked every inch of a relegated team. Calamitous at the back, nothing but Sonny in midfield and no attacking build up play whatsoever. Manager just sat with his head in hands, being as totally fucking useless, as the clowns above him. Venkys, Pasha, Ismael, Gestede, Owen all deserve this relegation but we don't. Absolutely sick to death of these owners, just fuck off.

That's not how crying works

The only positive I can come up with is that Ismael has absolutely no excuse for tonight's defeat. It's largely on him but we've just been completely outplayed, the ref hasn't made any calls he can moan about.
