[Archived] Previous Game: Brentford v Rovers. 7th May

[JacknOry]

On a day we are relegated I could not care who stays or goes on this forum...personal grievances still taking centre place when the rest of the board is grieving.

but id start with P.Senior and work upwards.

what has PS actually done since coming in ? and before you say TM I doubt he was responsible solely for bringing in TM

Look it isn't the time now, I'm too p******. 

All I will say though is, if Senior goes, who replaces him? Its all the one. The Venkys are the problem ALL rage should be directed at them. Nobody else.

In all seriousness, don't go Mercer. Do send the cheque, though. 

Agreed. He's wound me up all season but I don't want to see him leave. A more realistic approach next season would be appreciated - but that's it.

Always said we would run out of games if TM had been given another 5 games or so we would be safe.
Yet again Venkys failure to react efficiently has been our downfall.

Absolutely right. We can look at particular games and particular incidents that cost us points throughout the season, and a Notts Forest penalty v Newc or Huddersfield's team selection but the bottom line is we all knew we were screwed when Coyle the Pretender was appointed. Even potting him a week or two earlier would have saved us. But he had to be kept on till the transfer window ended eh? Bunch of buffoons.

Well done to the team today, well done to the supporters who went, the damage was done, as it has been for 7 miserable years, in India.

Venkys you are an utter disgrace, the scum of the earth. 

[joey_big_nose]

The only thing that matters is Venkys leave, even if it means the club goes bankrupt and we have to reform.

There isn't a future for the club while we are run by - at best - distant naive clueless idiots.

Please God just make them go.

16 players plus Tony will go

Merce can stay FFS

I really hope Mowbray stays, we will NOT get a better manager in League 1.

[JasForest]

Gutted for you all today - its never nice when clubs have to suffer from incompetent owners (trust us, we know as well!). Was hoping that Brum would go down and us both to stay up.

Theres no gloating from us, just relief. All the best for next season and hope you come straight back up lads.

... thought I'd post here after an absence of more than 10 years. But no words coming out of me right now.

Fans need to stick together, not force each other off boards. 

Anyone fancy a trip to India?

said we wouldnt go down like coyle and kean

Replace him with who? Whoever replaces him will be the same. Venkys are the problem. Direct anger at them.

We got what we deserved. Appreciate you taking the time to post. You did well when it mattered like we did - unfortunately it was not enough and far too little too late.

Venky fault,   End of.

Am sure your supporters know as well as we do that the nightmare doesn't end with staying up or going down. Without new owners we're both doomed to fall. Well done on staying up, hope you get new owners and sort your club out.

[mustard]

Venky's.  Jerome Anderson.  Anyone else linked to our demise...

 

You are utter vermin and I hope you get what's coming to you.

 

Let's just say I spoke to someone very close to Jerome a few years ago who denied his involvement in sacking Sam, appointing Kean and our keany signings etc.

 

We all knew of his direct involvement and the Mail piece confirms it. This person was either complicit in covering for tantric or naive as to believe the @#/? he comes out with and failing to see what a cretin the man is. 

 

Disgusted.  Not that I haven't been for the last 6+ years.

Devastated for @rovers and for the fans. The owners deserve it.

I am absolutely gutted for Rovers and all our supporters.

I leave this forum in despair.

A cheque will be posted to one of my favourite charities tomorrow as promised to Jim.

It's been a breeze.

Good luck everyone. 

Don't go mate - let's just give you a new silly avatar and sig 

Actually let's make a new agreement, you know your stuff. Instead of leaving the forum agree to go along to the next Ewmc meeting, saw some great blokes there trying their best, become an asset to them 

 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Venkys: You are THE worst owners this proud club has ever had in 142 years.

Rovers Team : You are THE worst side I have seen in our famous Blue n White Shirt in my living memory.

Damn the lot of you for what you have done.

Nice of him to finally chirp up. The silence of the likes of him has been deafening.

We were relegated the moment Owen Coyle was appointed manager. 

It pre dates that.

Started when Venkys first met a southern spiv.

We are s-hit being flushed down the lavatory.

Round in circles, slowly at first then gathering speed and on down into the cesspit.

I expect us to go straight through L1 like diarrhea.

I don't think you should leave.

A promise to stop being a bit of a dick during stressful times would be enough.

What would be the point in that? Venkys would just appoint someone else and it would be even worse.

I don't give a toss which players or staff leave, as any replacements will be made by Venkys and therefore will by default be poor.

It's a total waste of energy to debate the merits of the players or staff. It's the ownership who have to go before progress happens.

[JonnyP]

I would like to thank TM for coming to this club, being a man of principle and doing everything he could to try save us. Most wouldn't have touched us but he came in and went straight to work. If only he had a couple extra games.

In fairness to Shearer, I think he was on a tour of India recently and pretty much trashed Venky's in every interview. He's done more than some of our own fans.

[G Somerset Rover]

On a side note why did only about 6-7 players come out at the end? Couldn't catch too much from the other end but I'd certainly say it was under half of the squad.
