Dopey on RB saying the players are struggling with the expectation levels at the club :rofl2br:

Has somebody told them they're crap then? We obviously know it but maybe he shouldn't have told the players! 'Expectation' for them is a roof over the away end or a replacement pasty hut I should think.

Expectation levels my arse! :)

Surely there's no expectation when you're shit? Only to live down to those levels, and judging by tonight's performance, they're doing just fine.

He said. I need to ask them if they want to be top 6 players , lower league one or league two because some of them are struggling with the expectations at this club. I nearly ******* choked where I was laughing so much. What a belter :laughcont: do they live in their own bubble or something

Let's think about this scientifically. There is now no 'expectation' of someone else paying for a new ground for the losers and  the way their owner is stacking up debt on the club, there's an expectation that they will be broke by March. Why on earth would the players expectation be anything other than absolute despair? No wonder they're crap!

D C blaming his keeper on the radio for 2 of the goals conceded, very unprofessional.

Probably been to busy making ladyboy porn to get to training? 

Leicester City sack three club players, including boss Nigel Pearson's son, after taking part in 'racist orgy' in Bangkok 

  • Three Leicester players are sacked after involvement in Bangkok orgy
  • A video emerged of the players in a sex session during post-season tour
  • One of the players involved is James Pearson, son of manager Nigel
  • Goalkeeper Adam Smith and striker Tom Hopper also involved in act
  • One player heard shouting 'slit eye' before calling one woman 'minging'

While I could probably make my first post on how great I think we're doing at the moment (3rd generation City fan and honestly think we look the part for the first time in many years)...

The dawning of reality on the R*vers forum was too good to pass up:

But would such player want to play in a crap stadium and port a cabin training facilities when they could go to the likes of Shrewsbury Town with their new but basic stadium and training ground 
 
Perhaps Shrewsbury is the model we should be looking at and we forget the delusions of grandeur that abound. 
 
But they were fighting relegation all last season? Although they sold Gay Meadow for an out of town site, the opposite Wael wants us to do! 

Relegation, delusions of grandeur and tinpot all in one...

The portacabin training facilities Henbury mentioned:

Seems questions are being asked not just about the lack of investment in the first team, but also the decisions being made by 'the greatest manager in the world.

And to think how Sincs gets slagged off. He is the one we are missing. Someone who gets in their faces and doesn't give them a minutes peace.

Leadbitter is a joke. Not even a footballer.

Brown past his sell by date.

Clarke not even fit.

Lines can't tackle, shoot or head a ball. Otherwise brilliant.

Bodin invisible for the last three games.

Smith limping after 10 minutes, never mind his damaged hand.

Moore. Just a joke surely

Sweeney not at the races yet.

Ellis back to useless normality after a purple period.

Why was Partington not playing?

Why was Bola not selected after a great game at Fulham? Why is he here if he can't get in the team?

Why did it take so long to bring on Telford ?

Why is Nicholls allowed to play a lone role when the big guy he needs to play off spends most of his/their time out wide?

Why did we not get a big strong striker in who can give us a chance to head a ball in the opposition area? All our corners and free kicks are just another means of giving the ball away. We can't win headers. We haven't had a centre forward since Lambert. But yet again we made no attempt to sign one.

We have no pace up front.

There is no structure to the team, in fact they don't even know one another as the constant chopping and changing evidences.

Over to you DC. Even the gloves aren't funny any more.

The only person not criticised in his match summary last night was himself. Perhaps he ought to look closer to home, and change projects.

But it's okay, they still reckon they have 300k 'snake money' and a similar figure from their away game with Chelsea...

Far be it for anyone to point out that this money will just go towards reducing the annual losses and paying interest on loans to someone who hasn't put any real cash in.

Yeah they've obviously just been sat on that money for the last 12 months...

If there's an equivalent vlogger for us please direct me to their vids.

I don't think we've got one which is a shame, we have Bristol City Un-Offficial and his godawful intro, but they arent really a vlog format.

A brave post - I can't argue with it. The honeymoon is long over DC it's all down to you to put it right. A bit of stability in team selection wouldn't go amiss. Only a few really know why the team wasn't strengthened where it should have been - there was plenty of time to do it - this isn't a hindsight statement. How much have we actually spent on getting players in since the end of January - I'd guess around £500k top. Take the £300k from the Taylor transfer and another circa £300k from the Chelsea match and we're still in credit - IMO I feel the supporters have been sold short in all honesty. The team is arguably weak in depth in all areas - back, middle and front. Cracks now showing

Professionalism. 

That's the word I want to scream when I have to talk to a Gashead. 

City:

* Proper training facilities with potential upgrade coming soon

* A proper stadium that looks amazing - and when our move fell through Lansdown already had designs, planning permission and exactly how he was going to fund it already in place. That's a proper businessman - you have back up plans 

* Well respected in the city and surrounding areas, with academic institutions and local authorities actually happy to work with us

* Part of a large sports franchise that isn't just advertised on billboards deep in Rovers territory but is part of a global company's nationwide radio campaign. Also has the Foundation working with schools and the community and the team appearing at the Balloon Fiesta etc

* Actually rich owner - the stadium, his old firm and the rich lists all prove it

Rovers 

* A field somewhere - the fence hasn't been paid for and they've not got planning permission yet despite their current training ground having been sold by its owners

* Some tents, patio furniture and a condemned pasty hut. The UWE "fell through" / couldn't be afforded with no plan B in sight let alone with planning permission or funding 

* Burned bridges with UWE, their local community, Sainsburys, anyone they've ground shared with and any contractors they've not paid

* They've appointed a used car salesman as commercial director. Oh and Santa's Grotto. Never forget that

* Their owner has only spent money he's secured against their home, appears to have no wealth from the family beyond that backing him and his wealth seems to be forever out of the reach of Rovers. He also wears tracksuits with his initials on despite never playing as he saw it on TV dramas and thought it looked cool 

Even ignoring the more-than-double attendances, we're not even in the same universe. We're professional and professionally managed - they're just tinpot...

 

PS: And before a Rovers fan says "but you're obsessed with us" my grandparents and family spent all they had on shares in 82 to save the club, and watched Rovers fans denigrate us and try to block any attempts to help us. So I'll hate them till I die and foster this hatred in the next generation too! :gasmask:

Could and should have been avoided by managing the way the failure to deliver UWE was presented.

I was far from convinced by Hamer from day 1, the way he dealt with the first crisis confirmed my worst fears, Wael was also caught off guard and didn't handle it well.

This is when you find out who you are dealing with, not when Lee Brown wins promotion in the last minute of the season and Wael gets carried shoulder high down Gloucester Rd, it's when things go wrong. UWE was the first big test, it didn't go so well, now we have this random assortment of thoughts thrown together by Hamer. It's beginning to unravel off the field. Wael takings the p... Out of us.

with all his so called friends in high places could not even get one investors.

Need to hold Q&E night.

Questions

1 you and your family in it for long term 

2 why did you and hammer not know your brother pulled out of UWE

3 why no backup plain in place

4 why no investment from your own family 

5 if we need ten thousand at home games how long until we run out of money

4. Is the key one and the answer will come in March, if not before with current gates, when the loan facility secured against the ground will be fully drawn at which point they will need to put their own money at risk.

Currently their only skin in the game is the amount they paid for the club.

I'm not expecting the club to go "pop" in March; they can put a charge on the land for the training ground to take them through to the end of the season but a buyer then has to be found as you then have a club with zero net assets losing c. £1.3m a year and they would have to put their own money at risk to keep it going. And there seems to be big reluctance to do that.

Wonder if the old directors are actually being paid from the club itself?  Using the credit facility to pay for the takeover, in the way the Glazers loaded Man U up with debt?

And think Bert Tann or someone mentioned the Colony being registered to Dwane Colony Ltd - if Dwane Sports are already the owners of it I doubt they'll want to put a charge on it...

Think January will be very interesting - if they're selling Bodin "because he won't sign a new contract" (but in reality to cover the bills) and the Colony hasn't started to be built then maybe, finally, even their more deluded fans might think something is up.

I noticed the old planning permission for the Colony did include some conversion to residential property - do you think Hamer's Post interview where he mentions 30 acres repeatedly is to butter R*vers fans up?
