Nowhere near. They've a long way to go to reach our level. Difference is their fans don't queue around the block to lick the owner's boots the way our lot would if they ever bothered to turn up to a game.

Black Sabbath - Iron Man

As if he's going to know that 🤣 🤣 🤣

I see our pathetic limp set of so called supporters aren't on the list.

That's not an excuse.

Stoke with the easiest 3-0 win of the season. Sam Fucking Gallagher to score the lot.

Fat baz wanting to buy a sports team to stroke his ego. The others see the potential benefits of having a business overseas that has a high cash turnover and is expected to lose millions so they can do whatever it is they've been doing for 15 years that has got them in hot water with their government. Involvement with Kentaro and the spivs, people embroiled in other massive financial scams in the world cup football. Relegated the club deliberately to get them out of the spotlight so they were free to do whatever it is they've been doing without the scrutiny. They're too ignorant, stupid and arrogant to actually competently pull off whatever they've been up to and have been caught out. Combination of lack of interest, ignorance, stupidity, arrogance and fear of unearthing skeletons sees them refusing to sell up. It's not likely one single thing that's driving their presence but a combination of many different things. Did they ever open a venky takeaway chicken store in the UK?

I don't buy that. Everything is always someone or something else's fault with this lot despite things being constantly shit the whole time. There's never ever been one single attempt to rectify any 'mistakes' that have been made, they just gaslight and vilify anyone who points these things out and holds them to account, meanwhile they just carry on doing the same thing over and over. Funny how the second they showed up they were talking about reducing the wage bill and cutting costs whilst the club simultaneously started losing tens of millions every season. The losses have only been curbed since their own government started to investigate them for fraud. Still, nothing to see here. They're just badly advised etc..

I don't think anything could ever convince me that our relegation from the Premier League wasn't deliberate.

I'm opposite. Eat in the morning. Only very small amounts in the evening if I need energy. Don't eat after 7pm.

Paper thin squad starts to pick up injuries at the halfway point and the season. Owners refuse to fund any kind of squad reinforcement regardless of how necessary it is, even going as far as deliberately sabotaging incoming transfers.

Because you can use your business to pay your mechanic friend 4x as much as what you'd pay anyone else for doing the repairs and split the cash between you.

He's an adequate number 2. Never a number one in a million years.

Oh for fucks sake not this again. We're one of only SEVEN clubs to have won the league since 1993. There have been countless offers from serious people to buy the club that have all been rebuffed. I'll let others carry on with listing the massive number of clubs, far less fashionable than this one that have changed ownership in the last 10 years.

No future as long as venkys are around.

I'll pay for the petrol then. Teamwork 👍

They aren't fans. Never have been, never will be. @Hasta Yes, I overlooked that aspect of the contract. You could well be right.

If it's not just nixon doing his usual and running interference for the club then it has to be a comedy article. In fact I thought it was a joke at first. I'm just clinging onto the slight glimmer of hope that this is in fact reality and the worst goalkeeper ever in Rovers history will finally be gone. I was there for Alan Fettis vs Arsenal as well.

I trust the 'experts'. If United want Pears I'll pay for his taxi ride to Carrington myself.

That's because they never plan anything out long term. There's just the annual remit from the owners to keep the club in the division on whatever budget they set, additional emphasis on cost cutting since the fraud investigation began. All they do is react to things in a very knee jerk way. The home truths being laid out that there's no long term planning has caused them to offer the new bloke a three year deal to try and keep up some form of pretence. The problem is they aren't very smart so it's all really ham fisted and disjointed and just results in a complete mess. If the fanbase wasn't so pathetically limp it would be really quiet easy to hold their feet to the fire for all of this shit. Instead we just get a bunch of brain dead chumps waving inflatable snakes whilst the club the 'support' easily loses to the bottom of the league, tumbling out of the playoff spots whilst the people running the show get huge bonuses for doing exactly what they've been instructed to do.

Why? They're an embarrassment to themselves and the rest of us.

I reckon the prices will start at 450 at least next season.

I think they'll take us lower than that.

GeTbEhiiindTh3Lª4z FFS! I'll return when venkys are gone. I've got too much self respect to have the piss constantly taken out of me by a bunch of chicken farmers.
