Admin Maesknoll Red Posted May 4, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Interesting to see the whole of Leicester celebrating, many commentators in the media have made reference to it being a one club city and how that has helped the feel good factor be even better. I have long been of the opinion we would be better of as a one club city....... I can but dream that Wally's tenure will lead to their demise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same vein I am sure there were some City fans who lapped it up when your board of a decade or so back (maybe even longer) promised a major trophy, European football etc within a certain timeframe, and equally there were far more sensible City fans who could see the empty promises for what they were. To be fair, a number of Gas fans were so deluded about your so called billionaire chairman and how Premier League was a given that you could easily assume it was a gas fan.

There we go again, another stereotypical assumption that all us Rovers fans think the chairman is going to spend millions...I don't for a moment. He's a businessman and will take his cut where he can..now where that comes from who knows. We'll have to go up first, and then there won't be any more income to pick the bones from.

Still, the media never let the truth get in the way of a good headline, so why should football forums be any different Seven replies about Leicester now with only the two latest ones offering them any congratulations.

Most of your fans are claiming that he is a Billionaire. BBC Football Focus on Saturday claimed he was a Billionaire. Made in Bristol TV yesterday called him a Billionaire, There is a disconnect here, when he took over Rovers why did all you fans assume the UWE Stadium will get built? Answer because it was announced he was a billionaire and that the outcome of the judicial reveiw had no bearing on Rovers ability to build their new staduim, and yet you are no further forward in you dream than when Higgs was Chairman. Lets face it, you have been taken in by a fake shake and now you are to embarrassed to admit the truth or claim all along that you knew he wasn't the 6th richest man on the planet. Inside yourself you are hurting, you and your Gas mates thought you won the lottery, you did buy you lost the ticket, how does it feel.? The more you protest the more joy I get out of you , so keep telling everyone on here that he is a bussiness man and he won't be throwing his money at Rovers, while we are happy to sit in a state of the art brand new Ashton Gate funded by OUR Billionaire owner, in the knowledge of knowing if we have a good season in the transfere market we can be challenging in the top half of the Championship and we a little luck, who Knows.

Cider_boy Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Kodjia 20 goals Taylor 27 goals Therefore Taylor MUST be better - gas logic again! I wonder how many Kodjia could score in the basement, not that we'll ever find out! Akinde wasn't good enough to make it with us, and even he's got 22 this season at that low level 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As pointed out below, Akinde was useless with us in league 1(?) but lethal in the conference and even got 22 in league 2. Taylor has clearly had a good season, but is nowhere near a 20 goal a season striker in the championship.

FFS OK I'll bite. Taylor has had 2 good seasons for a side doing well in the lowest professional leagues , he has come through non league football and learnt his trade at low level. 27 in 45 is very good which ever league you're in. But as I said you are in THE LOWEST LEAGUE ! Kodjia has come into the Championship (one of the most competitive leagues around), not speaking the language and with little support in a struggling team and has got as many goals as any striker in the division ! . But I forgot , Taylor's 'getting better all the time' ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
