Gestede can clear off and take his terrible main summer signing with him.

It is getting that way.

Rovers 150th next year. If Venky's are still here that will be 15 years - 10% of our history under enemy occupation.

Even the French only had to suffer four years.

There were three of us this morning. I'm the only one this evening.. @47er

[roverandout]

Yet the Facebookers will lap it up

[Rogerb]

Gestede trotting out the party line a few days before a scheduled court hearing in India what a surprise!

[Forever Blue]

So fans should be more grateful to Venky’s eh Rudy?

The fact that they still feel the need to do this after so many years of their ownership says it all in respect of their failure.

Didn't we expect this very thing, when Gestede took the Venky shilling?

[rovers11]

I'm not buying it, Rudy. The owners have created a culture of failure and ripped the heart out of the club. They've got 2 relegations on their CV (and very nearly a 3rd last season) and have driven away thousands of fans.

We have raked in around £35m+ in transfer fees in 2 years and we've barely seen a penny of that because we're essentially now self-funding. 

There is nothing to be grateful to them for.

[Leonard Venkhater]

But the cheek of him to try "selling" it in the first place!

[JHRover]

We've seen it many times before from board members and coaching staff that once the feet are under the table the job is yours for as long as you want it. There are only two conditions. Keep your head down / don't rock the boat and pay fealty to the Indians whenever you get questioned on the subject.

Gestede strikes me as a Suhail / Waggott project. They've been looking for a patsy to oversee the football operation since St Tony departed with Venus. They got Broughton in and whatever your views on him that wasn't ever going to last the way this lot operate. So now onto plan B and it really doesn't matter to them or the owners whether the individual is any good or not, because improvement, development and excellence on the pitch has never and will never be on the agenda here.

Waggott is still at the stage where he thinks that 'ex player' carries extra kudos with the fans and will result in less pressure/scrutiny. An age old trick that has been played here several times, roll out an ex player and the fans will lap it up/take the ex-player's word for it etc. I hope most have seen through it by now but sadly it seems to keep on working with some.

I noticed a few posts over the weekend about how we are behind Sheffield United in the 'project', about how it is going to take a few windows / years for the 'new structure' to get us into shape and get us to a place where we are ready to compete for the top 6. These people must be from a different planet, because these owners will never ever allow us to develop to that point without first taking a wrecking ball to the squad to raise some cash or cut the costs and then the process starts all over again.

Yeah, we're all buzzing about that news lads.

[Waggy76]

A few choruses of Gestede is a wanker and Waggott get out of our club, would be very appropriate tomorrow night..

Oh, I don't know. Great to finally see some recognition of 'two up-front'

(Sorry)

That's probably the most appropriate sponsor for this club under venkys.

Repair a few potholes when what really needs to be done is a full reconstruction because the whole thing is completely fucked.

Repairing potholes? They're trying to destroy our beloved fanzine!

There's only supposed to be 4000 Holes though, not 40,000,000.

How much received in fees in, versus fees out? Pull the other one, Rudy.

I can't believe they think people will fall for that.

If we don't receive the money in a lump sum, then neither do other clubs, when we buy players.

Grateful to Venky's? 

Fuck off!

is`nt it strange that other clubs have  to play by the same rules we do but manage to recruit well after selling their main assets

You'd almost think that they actually wanted to keep us low down in the league!

They got burned in the Premier League. Much safer paddling around in the shallow end that is the Championship.

Hence my rhetorical question 😆

I wonder if they'll be able to complete a transfer this January 🤔
