My exact thoughts leaving the ground.

and credit to him for that.

Credit to Afolayan for joining us. I hope he can stay fit and have an impact. Many players wouldn't have touched the current setup and at least it's another body in the forward area with more pedigree than the likes of De Neve and Henriksson. If we do go down I hope it rids the club of Gestede, Pasha and the owners. I completely underestimated the damage Gestede would do when I said last season he shouldn't be included in the protests. He's majorly responsible for this disastrous season.

Fairly certain we are done for the day. Ran out of ideas. Largely a failure again but the positive is Ismael is gone!

Where's the Hyam money? 😂😂😂 Wait, where's the Wharton money? Wait, where's the Szmodics money? Wait, where's the Raya money? Wait, where's the Travis money? Wait, where's the Rankin-Costello money? Wait, where's the Harry Leonard money? Wait, where's the Gueye money? Surely not all gone on Sean McLoughlin, Axel Henriksson, Sidnei Tavares, and the rest. 🤣 Comical club with little interest in staying in the Championship.

Yeah no chance, 6 months left of his deal and his club wanted rid.

Is he gone yet? We need to act fast.

1000% this.

We're gone. Reason being they will stick with the manager. He's been largely appalling since the moment the season kicked off (with a full squad and without one.) At first he didn't know his best 11, changed the back line every week with fit players, then he couldn't decide on a formation and persisted with a failing one for months. He hardly ever wins! His subs derail games. I've never seen anything like it and he gets away with it again and again. It's humiliating we haven't already sacked him.

He could still come good but was not the signing we needed.

Blown away he's still in charge. One of the worst we've had.

Brewster, Agyemang, Morris, Diaz, Weimann, Salvesen! After following Rovers you'd think you weren't allowed that many strikers in a squad... and that's an average side. We're so far behind, essentially been turned into a League One team in 1 summer by Gestede. Looks like he's finishing the job nicely in winter too.

Eustace looks so far ahead of Ismael.

Ismael is saying the injury to presumably Reyes Cleary is why they are having to move on. Comical stuff. Come off it! I'm not sure why he's so complicit in what the club are doing. Cleary is expected to be fit to start his sides next game and was taken off as a precaution. This is a fact from his manager. More nonsense from our side.

The other glaring issue and arguably the bigger problem is the wage cap. Better players absolutely back themselves with higher wage demands. Particularly if they're a striker. Whoever implemented the wage cap shouldn't be at the club. Again a low wage cap increases the odds of you having to spend another transfer fee to replace the poor player. It's completely counterproductive. What is does do is protect the club from having to spend the money needed to compete at this level – while still appearing as though they are trying to. Any player costing £3m+ that's worth their salt will want wages above 10k per week at this level; so offering that kind of transfer fee to anyone at the moment isn't real and is a complete waste of the players time. Suhail Pasha and Gestede shouldn't be anywhere near the club, they're complete charlatans. Further to that the even more enormous issue is the fact that the owners are allowing someone to operate this way, if they had any interest in Rovers having success they wouldn't. The fundamental issue at the club is who owns it. All the failings come back to them, everyone else are just natural symptoms of detached ownership. On wages, look no further than Hull, Suhail, they had a transfer ban but a good wage structure in place. Wages alone sees them 4th with a chance of the Premier League, while we are 22nd. Maybe send Rudy to shadow some management teams at this level again, and tag along. Since you have absolutely no chance, or interest in building your own.
