Our owner writes off tens of millions of debt by selling shares and goes quietly about his business  

Their owner… well…

He retweets half time draw ticket numbers. 

He sold 1st and 2nd prize tickets himself. Fix!. Can you imagine big Steve doing the rounds selling half time draw tickets to the corporates ?

Someone a few pages back posted Barton's win ratio compared to Garner's.

I always think that in these circumstances win ratios are the wrong metric to use. A manager could have 1 win and 4 losses in 5 games and have the same win ratio as one with 1 win and 4 draws.

For a true appreciation of absolute shiteness you have to look at the "loss ratio"

Garner lost 17 in 33 for 52%

Biffer Barton lost 17 in 24 for 72%

To put it another way, Garner scored points in almost half his league games while Barton can just about score points in a quarter (oh how ironic, quarters?)

Rejecting gnomes is an all time low. I'm presuming it was kept inside so that the field could be plowed? No longer prowed.

Rovers Garden Gnome

 Bought for me, Christmas 2019. Nothing but Rovers misery since. If anyone wants it, I will send and pay for delivery. Been kept inside, so in immaculate condition.

Please PM if interested.

Enough is enough.

Hugely unfair, I think you should go back and calculate this again including the number of 2nd halfs Joey has won. :)

The guy in the photo at the beginning of this video clip looks like someone from the cast of the Walking Dead.

Every one of the crowd look like the unfortunate folks one might see on a Channel 5 documentary, in this case: 'On Benefits - Living With Tourette's'.

Think it has more to do with not wanting it outside so the neighbours will work you're a closet gas head......imagine the shame and embarrassment you put on the rest of the family

There’s a bigger picture issue, too.

Garner had a dreadful record but his clear plan was to sign loads of players in their early 20s who had been let go by the likes of Palace & Fulham & try to produce a team that still had time on its side to improve.

This plan also had the bonus that should one of them do so well & attract the attention of a side up the pyramid then they’d get some funds to improve the squad.

This is a coherent strategy.

Barton on the other hand has signed 36 & 37 year olds who were without clubs (& in the case of Leon Clarke, who had 2 hamstring injuries last season & a back operation), plus a load of 30 something ex-Fleetwood players (or Scousers), there is no plan, no possibility these players are anything but on their way down. It is absolutely incredible that Wael has indulged him to bring in 20 players & massively increase the age profile & presumably wage bill.

They are in huge trouble, I’m delighted to say.

You mean 36 year old Leon Clarke isn't going to get them £15m?!

According to Barton at the weekend “his career might be over”, truly incredible that he gave him a one year contract after the stuff I detailed above.
