1-1. Abysmal defending.

Anyone having a problem expanding today's stream on a MacBook?

I think £9m is as good as it gets.

Before leaving for the UK, Jashibashi took the opportunity to buy the first class next Thursday's Hiroshima Three Arrows vs Stegar preseason warm-up match. No. 77 special air support uniform has 100 fans. Special autographed thank you card. Although it was not possible to say goodbye to a group of three arrows fans on the pitch, the bridge still hopes to send thanks to him by hand, and thank him for his support for half a year.

We don't know if these are like-for-like roles, so a head count if only one measure. It also ignores the human cost of administration to many families in the area. It's important that this issues are discussed in good faith and honestly and in the right spirit. A sale to another owner (which may also include job loses of course) is all our preferences. Administration is in no-ones interest.

75 staff were made redundant at Wigan, 25 (at least) at Derby, similar at Huddersfield.

You are indeed correct, although redundancy payments in these situations are less than generous.

Regarding administration, a cursory glance around the 'net gives examples were numerous employees have been sacked, bills never settled and youth systems undermined. Why we would be any different, I'm yet to hear.

You've answered a rather different question, which I didn't ask, which was how people are you happy to see lose their jobs or businesses if we enter administration?

Is that up for debate?

Evidence from other clubs is that is exactly what happens. Happy to be persuaded otherwise.

A terrible view to take. Many people would lose their jobs and some local suppliers would go unpaid. I assume you're not one of them.

We've signed the lad from Linfield.

The LET piece begs the question, and if we hadn't got the Wharton money, where would the club be now?

I know thuis should go elsewhere, but.........I see Dakota Biotech is sponsoring Rovers' women, and I spotted a line on FB saying the CEO, a Rovers' fan is interested in buying the club.

No thanks.

I might crack as the season gets closer, but the culmination of Kean/Coyle/countless awful senior executives and the lack of explaining by the club of mayor events over the last 12 months has left me heartbroken. The new DoF with no experience, the sale of Wharton without a replacement, the idiotic signing of Fleck, having a vaping company on our shirts, being told that our ambition last season was not to get relegated. The inability to sign players of any quality, two crap goalies, our captain playing for Ipswich and not replaced, Bristol way, fans invited in to talk to the players and then video leaked. There's far more of course and I've defended to club at points in the last two years, but it's quite a charge sheet.

Not sure where to put this, but linked to our dear Gregory. https://offthepitch.com/a/pitch-ranks-norwegian-sensation-european-leader-financial-sustainability

For the first season for some time I haven't renewed. I have no confidence in the owners and senior management. The awful experience of playing at home last season was the final straw. I hope I'm proved wrong, but we are being taken for a ride and I have fallen out of love with the club (again).

It's like having Sunak running the club

Indeed.

Adam Wharton is one of the reasons for the academy.

I like a good boo.
