Was just going to post that myself rovers can't even compete with Yeovil have the really fallen that far?

Those thick in reds over at gasheads.org are now saying the the council should pay for their new ground because a successful football club is a benefit to the city

Typical river want something for nothing again

The UWE is dead and won't happen the sooner those thick inbreds realise this the better

This cas is about Higgs getting his investment back before he ***** off to Italy nothing more nothing less

If that was the figure, how much will be swallowed up by Wonga and repaying directors' loans?

I doubt there would be enough left over to cover one season's losses, let alone buy a new set of plastic garden chairs from B&Q...

They were 11 million in debt before the wonga loan

The longer this takes the more likely sainsburys is going to win

If the contract was watertight they would of won by now

Good and bad faith has nothing to do with it

Two words

Agent talk

I'm sure the judge is presiding over more than one case at a time and will need time to read everything etc etc

The longer she takes the worst rovers finances become

Remember they have no match day income for 2 months now and have a high interest wonga loan to pay installments on

What was the time limit that UWE put on them to start building? I thought they wanted a quick decision so they can build more faculties instead?

It can't be good if it's taking this long after all the judge shouldn't have to think it's a watertight contract after all

the wembley figure increases by the day, they are saying they took 37k now

Very good speech by Bin Ali... Nervous but well delivered. Now for the garbage speech.

its sad that it won't make one jot of difference

I'm not sure we could do that. If we refused to release players, FIFA would take legal action that would a) cost a fortune and b) probably involve an injunction against Premier League matches being played. Plus, there may be contractual stipulations and it ignores the fact that many players do actually want to play for their country

The only ways UEFA can bring down FIFA will be through getting sponsors to withdraw support or through a viable alternate competition to the World Cup. If the major European nations could convince Argentina, Brazil, The US, Australia and perhaps Japan or S. Korea to withdraw from the WC and play an invitational comp in Europe, it would bring the whole house of cards crashing down in a financial sense. England leaving FIFA would be an annoyance and would probably cost them a bit of sponsorship money, but not enough to bring down Blatter

or switch the europian championships to take place at the same time as world cup, offer better incentives and prize monies to teams taking part, including some of the real minnows and then say to the sponsers you have a choice between us and them we have the best supported leagues in the world,

It may not have immediate effect, but I truly believe just us and Germany would carry enough clout as sponsor's markets to pull the rug from FIFA.

 

I also believe even England alone probably would be able achieve that, although I acknowledge it would be a huge risk. Imagine this: the FA breaks away from FIFA. Mid November and its the last game in qualification for the World Cup (which we don't participate in). The FA has scheduled a full fixture list for that evening - including Man City v Man Utd and Chelsea v Arsenal - and doesn't require any of its member clubs to release any players for the FIFA competition which it no longer recognises.

 

Don't get me wrong I know that would take huge front and well it just isn't ever going to happen, but I truly believe the Premier League itself harnesses enough power as a global brand to bring FIFA crumbling. Therefore I don't think we should fear what would or would not be too much for FIFA's resistance - if the English FA were involved I think that would be too much for them to resist whatever the rest of the composition.

plus watching england international football has been shit for a long time so we won't miss anything

I think UEFA have no choice but to leave if Blatter is re-elected, will that happen? I doubt it such is the corruption that UEFA members are bound to be involved,

blatter will win, FIFA will fail to change and this will drag on for the next 10 years

Platini due to give press conference any time now..

blatter refuses to stand down shocker, the bloke must be sat with his fingers in his earsoing lalalalalalalala while rocking back and forth on a chair made out of russian/qatar oil money

Could Sky be involved as well?

nah i wouldn't of thought so, they never have been given the chance to bid for the rights to show world cup football, and I can't remember them ever being a FIFA sponser, if this scandle was UEFA then maybe but not FIFA

Don't get me wrong, H. If the tier 1 sponsors threaten to pull out, and Uefa make good their boycott threat, Blatter will go.

Don't expect to see him being extradited to a US prison is what I was saying. He has too many friends in Switzerland.

discredited and gone will suit me

This picture was posted by an idiot on my Facebook.  

 

 

 

I assume they are talking about the rugby, but the whole image makes no sense at all. They really have no idea how to make funny/relevant images. 

to be fair we really did bottle it this season,

I mean we only won the leage by 8 points were promoted by mid april won a cup final, I'm so embarissed by my club how can we put up with such a bad season,

I'm not looking forward to another season of Championship football trying to get ourselfs promoted to the topflight (a league rovers have never ever been in in their entire history)

I'm so jealous of rovers getting back where they belong in "League Two" I wish we could of played non-league football losing to part time teams and fighting the powerhouses of Barnet and Grimbsy for a league titile (something they've not won since 1990)

deluded inbred assholes,

They need to remember they only have a ground because they stole it from Bristol

Strong words coming out of the U.S. From the attorney general stating that this is just the start

4 have pleaded guilty as well

Self serving and smug press conference from an organisation in deep denial

I hope the whole thing comes down with very long prison sentences handed out and Russia and Qatar striped of the World Cup

This is going to rumble on for years I can't see how blatter can continue to stand for election,

He will try and slime his way out of it of course but I'm looking forward to the press conference

He must be so proud that all the national papers are proving Mr Lansdown wrong by talking about Rovers......
