Yes, it hasn’t been updated yet. But I am very much assured that Duncan unfortunately has left.

I have been told, Duncan stepped down for health reasons.

Gestede talking about how we won't have a budget of 15-20 million, and we won't reinvest all the money from player sales. No surprises there.

Pathetic as usual to say "we aren't that club anymore". Why? We have FFP leeway and they can afford it if they want to? This is exactly why the fans are so angry at them, they just can't be bothered to fund the club properly, in player trading, maintenance, anything.

The nonsense Gestede has been spouting about budgets, recruitment, summer transfers and plans, all carbon copy of what has been said ahead of the last 3-4 summers.

They've shown what they are all about and this year will be no different.

They're going to come out with more and more of this stuff as they become increasingly desperate. Only the totally naive would believe them or give them the benefit of the doubt.

They're going to dismantle the foundations that served us so well under Eustace, slash the wage bill and then worry about the rest after that. Bored with it now.

STs tanking, shit, roll the ‘leaders of the football structure’ out quick.

’Yeah we won’t be spending as we aren’t that club anymore’

 

[G Somerset Rover]

We have bigger fish to fry but I can’t wait to see that arrogant tosser Gestede out of our club again.

He should have said the bit in bold. Would have been more fitting.

The lack of ambition is a disgrace. Not fit to lace Uncle Jack's boots, this lot.

[DutchRover]

Pasha also needs to be held to account for his claims about going to India and asking Venkys for 20 million to keep the club afloat and then begging for transfer fees on top of that.

The basic duty and expectation of the owner is to cover running costs every season, no questions. If you have to ask them then they are not fit to own, end of story. It's not a charity or good ownership to pay that money, its the job.

Good ownership is covering those costs and investing more money into the players, coaches, youth system, facilities etc.

Why is he coming out with that crap anyway ?

We haven't spent big money on a first team ready player since the signing of Rhodes 13 years ago so nobody remotely expects that.

Clown.

‘We aren’t that club anymore’

Translation - our billionaire owners have decided that we aren’t that club anymore.

Fair enough, put the club up for sale and fuck off then.

Because it gives him a wall to hide behind. It gives him an excuse for failure.

He's been sent out to act as a distraction from the focus on the owners and their shade dwelling lap dog

[JHRover]

Yep. Focus your attentions on Gestede, Ismael, players, recruitment, budgets, transfer targets, changes in the academy

Don't focus your attentions on Venkys, curtain twitcher or Waggott

[ageoftherover]

"Imagine if we didn't have Venkys! Who would fund the club then?"

Exactly, this is a decision they are choosing to make, and it makes them unfit to be owners of a football club. 

End of story.

They would ALL be getting Jack's Boot right up the Arse and out the Door.

[DE.]

Just another variation of Mowbray's "it isn't 1995 anymore". A way to make the club look like they are sensibly fighting against unchecked fan entitlement. The idea that anyone is expecting Venky's to invest at JW levels is of course absolute nonsense, but spin that narrative long enough and eventually the sizable uneducated portion of the media and the majority of the non-Rovers footballing community will accept it as a truth.

Good ownership is having a plan for short, medium and long term, employing the correct people in key roles and communicating that plan to your supporters, good commercial plan and Good ST plan that engage with supporters, understands Supporters financial situation and bring through the next generation of supporter
