Code for "we're selling him but the money can't be used to replace him as its going into Balaji's back pocket"?

At least if it goes in his back pocket it will buy some jewellery and not be wasted by TM in the transfer market.

With our eye watering losses venkys can hardly be accused of pocketing any money from rovers

Those eye-watering losses they caused you mean?

Do they want out of this league or  not?

Simple.  If they're taking huge losses.  Sell the club.  

[tomphil]

They are happy to take huge losses and waste other millions if it's the right people in their eyes doing the wasting.

Those doing it now want to cut it to impress the owners even if it means the club shrinking even further. Because their wages and bonuses don't so they don't give a toss.

[47er]

Or, if they want to end these huge losses, sack the manager, get a good one and fund a promotion drive.

Get promotion and sell.

Only way you'll come close to getting your money back Venkys.

He says today that the other forwards “must” look towards achieving Armstrong’s finishing standards.

Easy this management game isn’t it. Just tell them they must score more. Might as well tell me I must become a Premier League player.

He spent £12m on them so they should be banging them in when AA goes.

Everyone seems to forget that the club has had zero income for more than 12 months and yet we're still batting.

No moans either...Whatever has gone on in the past, we have something to be thankful for IMO.

Except it isn’t simple is it, they don’t at this stage seem to want to sell. So they can’t also be blamed if they try and run it as a business

Totally agree with this people are steady complaining that the summers going to be belt tightening. What else do you expect us and every other club will be doing the same 

[1864roverite]

I wonder if he has ever thought of playing a centre forward in the centre forward position ? Maybe there’s where the answer lies Tony you utter nugget!

                  Gallagher/Brereton (1 from 2)   Armstrong

Those predicted transfer market conditions will dictate that bargains will be available for astute managers and clubs to acquire.

It's a shame that we fail the criteria.

[rog of the rovers]

Just giving my spreadsheet an update! 🤓

Interesting that now Tony Mowbray's win percentage is below that of Gary Bowyer, even if you include the League One campaign, which usually skews the data when comparing Rovers managers in recent times.

Mowbray 37.5% win rate

Bowyer 37.9% win rate

Another interesting stat is that Mowbray will be stranded on 199 league games in charge of the Rovers if he leaves at the end of the season.

Our recruitment department would have idenfity the players we should be targeting but its down to Mowbray to choose his 1st choice signing for each position. 

Its huge summer for the club.

It is indeed going to be a big rebuild which makes a mockery of Mowbray's 'Journey' and 'Building'

Mind you the clock was reset and we are just coming to the end of Tony Pol Pot Mowbray's Year One.

Could have been worse, he could have gone back to Year Zero.

There is indeed a review scheduled for the May, but that’s always the case. Knowing our luck we will win all our remaining fixtures and finish 11th or something.

This is one of the main reasons why Mowbray has to go. He had 3 years of squad building and backing of 20 million pounds financially from the owners for transfer fees plus wages and we are no better off league position wise and there is some damming stats of Mowbray's squad this season. These being not scoring in 24 first half of games out of 41 leagues games, 1 win in 15 games, lack of goals of set pieces, the number of chances we created each game.

If that happens then its a new 4 year contract.

On results I want us to contribute to Rotherham staying up and doing our best to relegate Derby or Brum, I know its wishful thinking.

I think Ayala will be what gets him the chop, last time we had shocking run Waggott came out to defend him. No ones doing that now

I see it as a 2 way thing. Venkys need to communicate to us and learn to understand how to run the club with proper experience CEO running the club who is properly engage with the Club fans along with a proper modern footballing structure.
