At the time, the only person who could be held accountable to answer was Mike Cheston. First answer was that Coyle was the only one who fit the criteria Pressed about the criteria, the answer was that he was on holiday and didn't hire Coyle (he was indeed on holiday).. Asked who did hire Coyle, the answer was that he didn't know. (unbelievable?) In another meeting, Coyle said that he was hired by Bala. The assumption was made by many that it was cost. It has never been established as fact to my knowledge.

And at the time Suhail was working for Kentaro who "fixed" the Venky deal and the rest is history although Suhail is now "working for the owners". This is a matter of fact. Still to be explained.

Great idea that Stuart, agree with the ideas in that proposed layout. In particular like where you put a proper dedicated disabled area. Embarassing to see folk in wheelchairs sat helplessly in the torrential rain at the bottom of the Riverside when there is so much space. Can you email that to Steve Waggott and ask him... why ? / why not ?

but would you get a 10 game flexi ST ?

Exactly and the key word is minimum. Chaddy well within his creative licence to use the word roughly at this early stage. Some good sides below us who will be up there. Important we have consistency and stay on track so the roughly becomes less so.

Just watched this. First reaction was screaming at Rippers for needlessly losing the ball in the far corner. Fans criticised for criticising players... What stupidity. Armstrong is paid to score goals. He needs to score goals. Not sure it's more complicated than that really.

I was reading Huddersfield have 18000 season ticket holders and only 2200 matchday tickets available. They had sold out in early April. We have 8600 season tickets and 20,000 available. Ours went on sale in June. Something is wrong.

MUST WIN GAME ! Mowbray himself says we need 12 points from the next 18. The run needs to start today. COYB

According to Rich Sharpe, this is the confirmed setup

Rich Sharpe @richsharpe89 Team news: Understand it's three at the back for #Rovers, but what happens ahead of that could well be pretty fluid. First league start for John Buckley.

oh dear hoof to Arma ? might not work that Tony.

Players covering their mouths with their hands whilst talking... even sat on the bench. Imagine Shearer covering his mouth whilst telling Ruddock "I'm gonna score 3 you fat useless ****" Whilst Razor covers his mouth to retort "Not if I get you first you cocky geordie ****" More modern game nonsense also caused by Sky.

Well I can say you missed some cracking matches last season Chris. The City Spurs game was probably the best match of the season. I dont have BT sport either (or Sky sports) but most pubs do. Perhaps watching the top level players forces us to consider how poor our own team really is and then go over the reasons why and how we got here. This journey could be too painful for some whilst others have already made it to the other side.

more passes lose game no points what is the point we are making ? repeat too many times and get relegated ? Stats mean nothing. League table on the other hand....

At the World Cup, Stirling was absolute dog shit. His ineffectiveness was a big reason for us not winning it imo. Since the World Cup he has been fantastic week in week out for City but also repeating his form for England.

substitute the headings.... blue = season ticket holders 8600 red = boycotters 8000 yellow = occasional walk ons fair game for the Waggott Tax Why is our fan base split like this ? Venkys. Modern day Rovers is defined by them so you shouldn't really be surprised about the reaction when you poke at the old wounds and find a load of infected puss oozes out.

players kicking the ball out when a player is "injured"... 100 times more than that.... throwing the ball back to the opposition afterwards. Makes my blood boil. And the Waggott Tax !

present

Mowbray settles the 10 game or until xmas discussion. 12 games it is. 12 points from the next 6 games or walk. personally think it should be 14 - 16 because 7th to 10th place is not acceptable. Top 6.

I am not claiming to be ITK or anything but Tom (allegedly) saw him limping around the Trafford Centre after being fouled by a wing mirror in the car park. Weak as Piss. Rubbish.

Keith Hill was linked with us each time the Venkys spun the bottle. Good luck to him and them I say. No way I am taking the pish when it will be us at some point, guaranteed. I see they avoided Conway though.

so if for the sake of discussion, we all agree with your wisdom, what do you feel is a fair number of games or time to wait before judging Tony's performance against the top 6 target ?

unfortunately the number 1 candidate is busy https://www.oficrete.gr/ofi-crete-news/ofi-crete-appoints-steve-kean-as-a-recruiting-director However I wouldn't be surprised to see a return of Big Sam at some point this season

Never mind this Ben Garratt lad. Lets see Ben Benson have a go in't nets. See what he's teaching um.
