Well obviously, crap is relative as we have been over before.

The transfer recruitment across the season has been poor. Doesnt mean that every player signed has been poor. But I think it says a lot that the 3 biggest successes are players that were brought in too boost the squad rather than the main areas we needed to strengthen. Both Batth and Weimann have been very useful members of the squad who we had to rely too much on and due to age, both of their bodies broke down and saw them miss big chunks of the season. The same happened with Beck who was brought in to add competition at left back. We needed a goalscorer in the summer. Ohashi has 7 goals and Gueye only 6 and you are calling for another striker in the summer. If you truly believed they were as good as you keep saying, you wouldnt think we needed another. I think we have a fair idea what this window will be like. We wont even have the crumbs of any sales to spend. We constantly get small budgets, why would we get £4-5m? We have a novice overseeing recruitment, why would we have a good window? Do you have faith that it will be one of good recruitment and a decent budget or are you just saying you dont know either way?

To be fair regarding King, we had 2 20 goal strikers ahead of him and when he did play, he underwhelmed bar those 2 cup games, and he was often injured. Not saying for one minute though that Bowyer was a good manager.

Some do bizarelly. Like a cult of followers who will soon pay for the privelidge of pestering him all summer feeding his ego.

Why would any respectable head coach want players thrust upon him that he doesnt want and/or are crap?

Imagine after all what has happened being so confident that we are going to have a decent transfer window, seemingly believing a word Suhail says in the process. Also, imagine thinking previous transfer windows were a success. Yet still demanding the same positions to be strengthened as we tried to last summer. Surely the penny would drop that it clearly was not a good window.

Have you recently started a business course and learnt about stakeholders?

Do you believe Pasha? If you forsee £4-5m being spent then I suspect you are in a minority of 1.

Back to saying random League 1 players you probably have never seen and only mid way through April! Markanday isnt good enough.

Or equally, if they came out and said why they made the bad decisions they did, would it make it any better? Gestede did I think say for example why Ismael was supposedly appointed. Unfortunately, no matter what he says, he is a rubbish manager and the stuff he said was flawed.

Leave. Surely that was pretty obvious. Do you want Gestede to go or do you think he should stay. Im glad we improved the club by adding structure which aside from disagreements, added incompetence, poor players signed against the head coaches desires, interference and a lack of synergy between head coach and director of football to the point where a head coaches job is untenable, it has benefitted the club as a whole and football in general as a whole.

If we were playing Derby now instead of when we did, I wonder if anyone would bother with the stupid inflatable snakes?

Would it make them decisions any less wrong? Would it make it any easier to witness the fallout from those terrible decisions? No one would want explanations if we did anything right.

What does that even mean? Has the world "moved on" from a situation whereby all that matters is the correct decisions being made? Certainly wouldn't be any consolation to me when say I am watching a poorly coached team or a poor set of players if they had explained the flawed process in the media or made a fancy video.

You said you prefer a director of football approach referencing us signing Gallagher without one. There are pros and cons to both approaches. The way our club is run, whatever option we choose, we only see the downsides. I get why teams have them but such is the way we are run, recruitment was probably better here without one to be honest. Because a director of football here just allows another incompetent person here getting involved, causing disruption and means that the head coach can feel more aggrieved when he isnt playing as big a part in deciding signings and he ends up with poor players to work with against his wishes. Do you share the widespread calls for Gestede to piss off?

As others have said, communication isnt the issue. We would "still be here now." Good communication isnt an issue when reasonable decisions are made. The departure and circumstances around it wouldn't need explaining had a good manager not decided that he simply could not work under these clowns anymore. The appointment of a terrible manager wouldn't need explaining had it not been done in the first place. And another season of shit recruitment wouldn't need explaining either.

You are an absolute lunatic if you are using Rovers as a basis for why a club should have a director of football. Or any "structure." Any system we adopt is doomed because of our owners and the board. We have displayed every downside available to having a director of football too. Disputes between too many peosple wanting to have the final say, players provided for the head coach that he doesnt want, head coaches getting fed up and leaving, delays in decision making even to the point of failing to complete deals. Recruitment has been crap ever since we adopted the model, it hasnt improved. And now we have a snake in that role who has no experience. When we signed Gallagher, it was for that one year where Venkys seemed slightly interested which soon stopped. The suggestion was that they authorised the 3 deals individually, whether that was true I dont know.

With an option and also as someone who will not be demanding high wages so will be an easy one to pad out the squad. No interest in improvement here.

Dolan after numerous years has not really progressed and is so frustrating, hes indicative of a side that struggles to maintain anything like a promotion push. But at least he does have something in there, he occasionally will score maybe a few a season, he will have the odd good game. Ryan Hedges on the other hand, a total non entity. He will be here next season, make no mistake, but hes shocking.

Why people ask that idiot questions is beyond me. Although sadly there is no way a manager gets a 3 and a half year deal with a break clause after 3 months.

You think we are likely to spend the money to progress? Deary me.

Would he get into the team?

Still Ismael out? A point at home to Sheffield Wednesday isnt a good one overall. Suppose its fairly inconsequential.

The man of the match tonight should have gone to whoever brought in the Pasha our flag. Never felt so apathetic seeing us score an equaliser. The stadium was so empty, felt like an early round cup game. We were dreadful in the first half and again Ismael's tactics left us not pressing at all, letting them have the ball. He is a fraud and everyone seems to agree hence asking for him to be sent off. It felt like the players after getting the early set piece goal (great header) really built up some momentum and showed some character (bit late) and were playing on emotion rather than to a plan. Cantwell was much more involved and Ohashi gives us far more than Gueye even if he is very limited himself. The Montgomery sub felt a bit cynical to prove that Ismael will use the youngsters. He personally should feel very proud to make his debut and certainly didnt let anyone down. But equally, and understandably, he did look very pensive and had Sheffield Wednesday not sat in 2 nil up and never really got forward to take advantage, I dont think I would have been confident in them not exploiting him. But he is a young lad who was playing at Chorley the other week.
