For what it’s worth I’m not sure WATR need to improve comms through content. WATR need to recognise that they don’t have the reach or membership to make any meaningful change alone. For what it’s worth, neither does BRFCS. It needs coordinated messaging from multiple partners to try and get as many fans as possible on the same thought process. RE the MOU meeting, I’ve been a Rovers Trust member for a long time and I’ve never once been asked what I would like asking at these meetings. WATR cannot claim to represent its membership if its membership is never asked for their opinion.

Venkys fund Rovers. By funding Rovers, you’re funding Venkys. I have a flexi ST because I liked what Eustace was doing. It won’t be renewed next year.

And he’d make the cuts, so we’d go down. The following year the same would happen. It will repeat until we’re so low in the English league that the club isn’t viable. At which point administrators will come in, someone will buy us and we start again. The above is happening whether people buy tickets or not. It’s simply a case of how long it takes. Helping fund Venkys is prolonging it, that’s all.

The future is — and will always be — administration. Venkys will not sell the club. There’s only two ways to get rid of them, effect their personal life or make the club lose so much money they finally quit or more realistically, have the club taken away from them. Nobody is willing to protest in a way that will affect them. Staying behind after games, negative chants, mass walk outs, holding up red cards, they’re not bothered at all about any of that. Either every match, every week is postponed due to protest or the only thing they do care about (family) is targeted. Nothing else will work. Don’t waste your time planning it. That leaves a waiting game til administration. How many fans love Rovers so much that no matter how bad things get, they’ll continue to “support the boys” and buy season tickets and shirts? 4,000 based on this seasons ticket sales this year. Nobody should be forced to give up something they love, but unless 3,000 of those 4,000 stop it’ll simply keep treading water away as it is. They’re doing it for the right reasons (love the club, support the players, enjoy time with their friends) but they’re essentially keeping a dying dog alive with short term medication. Might go down, might come back up, might finish 9th, but won’t actually make any progress.

How long until Batth and Beck are back?

We can all sleep well tonight knowing even if we did scrape into the top six and fluke two performances in the playoff games, Aynsley would fuck it up at Wembley. I have never known a professional athlete with such a weak mentality. Under any pressure whatsoever he’s useless.

Cauley Woodrow is just as shite as I thought he was.

Cant afford to sack him despite him clearly being totally incapable. The Waggott way.

Season over. This lot either have no belief or no understanding of what the manager is asking them to do. See you all next year, when further budget cuts led by Steve Waggott, Suhail Pasha and Venkys will see the quality reduced even further.

Everything is very, very slow.

Absolutely miles off. Weak mentality, tactically all over the shop.

I really liked it, to be fair. He was making runs across their back line and gesturing to put him through. We haven’t had a player making forward runs like that in a long time. Carter played him a really nice ball through which it looked like Gueye got in the way of. I want my forwards to demand the ball…

Message board gold.

I’ve done my duty and registered under my weekend alias, Suhail Pasha.

Wouldn’t want to fight him, and I’m considering that a good thing.

You’re absolutely right, I should not only give up my free time to run this but should financially support it too. If you don’t like the ads you’re welcome to replace the funds they generate: https://brfcs.com/pages/premium

When was the last time ORoirdon was involved in a winning game?

Yeah, if you buy a year and see me in person I’ll buy you a beer.

They have (surely), but the assumption is that they've simply not announced it. I'm guessing, but I reckon: Derby have paid the Eustace fee. The assistants don't have the same terms, we're playing hard ball on them. The ones that are staying - Johnson, Benson, Lowe, will have been told immediately after Eustace said he was going that they would lead the team. We're aiming to have a new manager by Swansea.

But his reputation has increased tenfold by coming here. He’s left with us in the top six. He clearly thinks we’re going to tank down the league now — you’d assume, because recruitment was poor. So he’s got out at the perfect time. He also clearly thinks he can save Derby (they’re no longer in the relegation zone) and in one summer transfer window he will be able to put them into a better position than Rovers. And frankly, I think he’s probably right.

Would you trust Waggott and Pasha? I wouldn’t. Eustace has sent a clear message to his team — get out, this lot have no aspirations to be a successful football club.

In which case he knew from the end of the summer window that it was being run terrible and we had recruited poorly, so instructed his agent to put him in the mix if opportunities came up. Again, I’d do the same, I agree with him.

I don’t hold any blame with Eustace. Came in, kept us up, got us top 6 in January, oversaw two disastrous transfer windows and thought fuck this. Isn’t allowed to speak to the owners and working under Waggott and Pasha? I’d engineer a move away too.
