In some cases, Rovers fans have their pet hate players, and no matter what they perform like, they want them replacing. This was even true during our great days under Kenny in the 90s..

Not many will be happy at being lied to about a 'competitive budget', in order to sell season tickets. You choose to be fooled, that's your choice.

We will see.. Of course I'm hoping for a happy ending.. But I don't trust Venkys at all.. It would be very disappointing if it turns out we can't trust TM either..

We get there and have brought in nobody, then TM remarks there was money to spend, but not 'the right deals'.. Then IMO he's complicit with Venkys, and loses a lot of respect.

Personally I'm just trying to understand where JAL is coming from.. I'm not 100% there yet..!

You think nuttalls inclusion is agent influenced?

So you do mean Tony Mowbray.

Evans and Smallwood really getting it. Don't you think you are being harsh? We were AWAY to Ipswich. It is normal for the home team to dominate possession in midfield.

Do you put Tony Mowbray in the bracket of one of those keaners? I noted your derision at his remarks about lenihan.

Grin and bear it then I suppose.

Burnley didn't pay most last season, and beat many that paid far more.

Obviously I'd prefer it if we got local owners that were fit and proper, with some financial clout too(would be nice).. Back in the real world, a Venkys that back us reasonably are our best option.. A Venkys that refuse to back us at all, then I believe protests should restart.. For all the good they do..!

I'm referring to his remarks in general on multiple threads.

Is it being alleged that agents are still a factor in the running of our club?

I'll tell you after Thursday whether I join you in that sentiment.

I challenge you to say something positive.

Barry fry the mastermind?

Good idea JAL.

Chelsea had utd and fergie up against them, otherwise.. There's no one now.. Chelsea's appointment is a strange one.. Never won the league and hardly a young up and coming..

I think they are gonna dominate for a few years now. Liverpool may offer some sort of challenge, but the others? I can't see where the competition is coming from?

i'm reasonably confident we will achieve a midtable target.

Struggling? They've only played one game..

I think TM plans to introduce the new signings gradually, and if they are successful, then by rights, we will only get better.

Yet we nearly beat them on their own turf, without a new signing starting the game.. Maybe we'll be decent this season?

Another for Marquis here.. Seems ideal for us.. Not heard of any link though.
