I sent one in asking why they offered Hyam a new contract on lesser terms.

It is called the ‘Comical Ali’ approach.

SW left because the final straw was he was not prepared to take the bullets for someone else’s decision to drop the Women’s team into oblivion.

I look at our squad and it frightens me. Where is our strength in depth? A couple of key injuries (Cantwell, Tronstad) and we are buggered. This is our weakest and least experienced squad for many seasons.

The Rovers world is not too bad 😂😂😂 Crap transfer window. Owners facing probable fines. Our club apparently facing two legal claims for breach of contract. Backroom staff leaving. No CEO. It is only the 1st of September…..can it get any worse🙄

Rumour has it that these are going into the Directors Box.

I am a ST holder and have been for many many years. I have never seen this survey…..I wonder why🤔

What is Chris doing with his left hand?

My WhatsApp inbox tells me that we had a kit deal sorted with Adidas including a refurb of the club shop (perhaps a waste of time when Rovers discourage footfall), a players boot deal along with Rovers Spezial trainers and a part of the 2026 Spezial FC range. What the insider tells me is that he believes there are two breach of contract claims. This may of course be a complete tosh. I am just passing on info received.

In my humble opinion I don’t suit replica shirts. I prefer a tent.

In my humble opinion Castore are dreadful shirts, cheap looking. Shirt sales will fall off the cliff.

I am told No1. When the new contract is announced you may wish to check who the shareholders of the company are.

Rovers will also need the money to pay for the legal action against them re the shirt contract.

The Hyam sale is to pay for all the Rovers 150 Anniversary books nobody wants.

I just had a phone call from a trusted source close who claims: “ I understand venkys are to be heavily fined for financial misconduct and will have penalties added to their business and associated companies.”

It was no criticism of the bloke involved; I was showing what the ‘leadership’ was up to. I guess he also had his photo taken with Kargbo pre-match.

…and so do I. There are some really good and decent people involved. I am sure we will get some information soon.

I agree but what exactly are the Coalition doing? It is very quiet on that front. I was previously intimately involved in WATR but members have yet to hear what they are doing with the only member communication being immediately after the agm over two months ago to inform members the officers had changed.

Our club leadership of Pasha, Gestede and Suki went for a walkabout in the Fanzone prior to the game yesterday to have chats with supporters. Maybe this is the new supporter consultation? I wonder if they release a video clip or a few photos of them all happy and smiles together?

I totally agree that we need to give the team more time to gel. What worries me is the quality of players in front of me bar Cantwell, Tronstad, Toft and Alebiosu. We are lacking depth and a couple of injuries to key players will create serous problems. We appear to be following the Poundland business model and look what happened to them. Instead of that pathetic TIFO (it was embarrassing yesterday given the small numbers in the BBE available to hold it aloft) we should bat a new banner made “Poundland Rovers”?

Is this yet another cost cutting exercise? Rovers used to pay for a guy with a falcon to come to the stadium a couple of times a week to scare away the pigeons and seagulls. It now appeared that we have a plastic falcon instead. Any ideas of a nickname for the plastic falcon? I fancy ‘Pasha the Pretend Peregrine’. I just had a closer look at the above photo.The paint on the roof steelwork is peeling away and the Brian Douglas plastic wrap is starting to peel off. Some basic maintenance needs to take place.

I was sat with a group of Rovers junior players this afternoon and they were laughing at Kargbo and Gueye.

I have been saying this for weeks. He is dreadful and it takes 76 mins to get him off. I would have taken him off at 6 minutes.

The Personal Assistant, Christina Haines, to the COO and CEO (when he / she is finally announced) left Rovers today for Training 2000. She is a lovely lady who has been very loyal to Rovers. Good luck Christina. I wish you well in your new employment. You did right to jump ship.

You do realise he was a free transfer rather than “an undisclosed fee.” Those were words agreed with Rangers to help your club save face.
