They must be leaning on the most hated owners in English football by now. what frustrates me more than anything is it’s just all on pause while they own us, never back us to move forward or progress so we are all in absolute limbo. What worry’s me the most is that there has never been even a slightest rumble that they are thinking about selling

If the club drops and venkys stay, I honestly don’t think we would get more than 5000 at home games

It’s absolutely unclear what they are getting out this, they aren’t football people , they haven’t tried to break the uk market with their chicken, so what is it. If you have a car that keeps costing you money and you’re not a car person , why would you keep it?

Not seen any credible offers to buy the club tbf, history counts for very little when it’s about money and a business decision. Think your maybe overestimating our appeal

We all want venkys to sell up more than anything else but then my fear is- are we worth buying? We aren’t in a particularly desirable area like a London club, we don’t have a large catchment area for a fan base , loads of other options around unlike say a Newcastle. Jack walkers are one in a million to the likes of us, it’s just not great. Do genuinely wonder when it will be fun to support this team again if ever

Just wondering what other supporters thoughts were on the future. Do we have any light at the end of the tunnel or have we regressed so much that we will never be that solid premier team again that we all crave. Not saying miracles but a Brighton/bournemouth type. im really worried as not only have the taps been turned off player recruitment wise but with the contract situation with all squad and a gamble of a manager appointment it seems like they are dousing the house in petrol just ready to set alight. I think unless we get more transfer backing than I am imagining right now then we are certain for relegation next year. It’s really really hard being a fan of this club just now, everything is so frustrating and bleak , I have heard a good few that have had enough and won’t renew season tickets, I can’t blame them but just where does it turn for us or does it?

Almost get more pleasure keeping tabs on Wharton than I do supporting rovers these days

Alarm bells ringing how we can’t muster a shot in the second half against the worst team in the league, sign of next season?

One thing I will say is - he looks like a hard barsteward, and after years of being frustrated by Mowbrays non plussed body language on the touchline I was crying out for somebody putting a rocket up the team and he looks like he won’t shy away from that side of things. Fingers crossed for the French souness. I’m not overly bothered about the reports of falling out with players if it was warranted. Didn’t do Ferguson any harm

Ok, he is here now, let’s see how we go. I’m not massively excited, but I’m not massively disappointed either, he was probably in the top 3 of realistic targets , cooper etc were probably fanciful given our current chaos behind the scenes. Much better than a boateng or boa morte type appointment

Neither of the names generally excite me but there was a lot worse banded about so I will just about accept either, I don’t think either are long term appointments, be lucky if they are still in post this time next year

Ryan hedges stats- games played 33 1 goal- I can’t even remember it 1 assist and he is meant to be an attacker. bin bin bin

I’m one of his biggest critics but there has been games this season he has been our best player , not to mention our massive game at Leicester. But I admit he isn’t good enough to be our number 1

Pears is such a Jekyll and Hyde keeper, unfortunately you don’t know what one has turned up game by game until he has either pulled off a great save or threw one into the net. He needs replaced as we can’t be having this degree of variance in performances in a keeper.

Least it can put to bed those that wanted Lowe to be given it, fresh ideas needed to get over the line

Unfortunately I feel it’s get promoted now or we aren’t funding players and running down contracts to slip into the abyss. Certainly feels like that just now so Lowe doesn’t fill me with confidence he can make a real go of the playoffs

Boa morte would just be absolutely brainless, think he would be at the absolute bottom of the list for me if O’Neill and cooper are off the table , next best for me would be Edward’s or ismael

Surprised dean smith hasn’t been mentioned

Ismael is the one that’s always been in the back of my mind with the Barnsley connection, brittain and Woodrow , not that I particularly want him but I can see the club going down that route

If Gary o Neil is happy to come here then I’m more than happy with that appointment , as good as we could do , never getting the big name we all desire

Think it’s more the anger and the uncertainty of the future that is causing so much unrest rather than pining over Eustace. He gave us some hope that despite everything we were going in the right direction, now it seems as crazy and chaotic as ever

Would be nervous with boateng or boa morte, inexperienced and a gamble we shouldn’t be taking raging if it were Russell Martin, don’t rate him at all 50/50 on gerrard, big name in football but his history looks sketchy at best, not sure he is a great manager ok with carsley, O’Neill or Edward’s, all had somewhat success and appear to be steady hands would bite your hand off at cooper or Danny rohl rest on the list for one reason or another just nah. sadly don’t think there is any realistic stand out candidates. It’s a shame mark robins was snapped up

Used to be Fulham that signed all our good players, now seems to be sheff Utd

Don’t understand your point here, his moral obligation is to the players and fans for supporting him and running through walls for him not to rovers per se.

Well I have to admit, I took great pleasure in seeing derby get skelped and hurtling towards the trap door. I was a big get Eustace in when jdt went , I jumped to his defence when we weren’t winning at the start of his tenure, and I absolutely get that it’s a toxic environment to work in but…… he had a moral obligation to see out the season to the players and the fans and he has embarrassed us. No issue with him leaving in the summer , but now when it could potentially derail the whole season, I’m sorry but the meek excuses don’t wash. Let down so will take pleasure seeing derby drop
