For me, as a Rovers fan, I have to admit that your club and fanbase is much bigger than Rovers. But to claim Rovers are going absolutely nowhere is ridiculous. If you take the league table since Coughlan took over we're in a playoff spot. Clarke-Harris has 5 goals in 6 games. Holmes-Dennis looks to be a player that we could sell in the future for a massive profit. The fact is our problems this season came from Clarke's favourites and a lack of a strikeforce and finishing ability. In terms of expected goals we're much better than the teams around us and are on the same level as a team like Fleetwood in that respect. With a few additions, preferably a RB, a winger or two and a striker to replace Jakubiak (assuming we don't sign Bonham), we could easily be top half of league 1. I just think your fans are laughably optimistic about the lack of quality at Rovers just because we lost to a team which is too big for the Championship, let alone League 1 a couple of times. Plus City are on awful form as Johnson always does in the second half of the season. I'd be shocked if you got a playoff place, and if Johnson leaves then what then? Obviously i'm not denying that in terms of owners and funds and stadiums we're miles behind, but you don't need high attendances to be a successful team. Brentford only get 9k on average.
It's not exclusively on the pitch that you are going nowhere. You mention Brentford, who are soon to move in to a new stadium with a capacity around 18k and have a well established system to keep themselves afloat and be competitive at this level. Compared to yourselves, they are going somewhere. Your owners would do well to emulate them. It's probably the only route open to them, seeing as they don't spend much. We've hardly spent peanuts but are still realistically punching above our weight in this league. Seen how much Wolves spent last season?
Wish it wasn't all about the money and business like infrastructure these days but it is and you're years behind.

Lee Hendrie was so far up their arse last night it was unbelievable.
Was that who was co-commentating on Sky? The myth has been perpetuated, amazing support, incredible atmosphere as always, they are known for it blah blah blah. Rover's aside, he was crap, bigging up play when nothing really happened etc. He would of probably passed out had he watched the Real v Ajax match.

Sunderland clearly have the quality to put this to bed if they step it up. Gas look workman like and basic.

It's a bit like new Dr Who, it looks good and people seem to like it but having grown up with the originals, for better or worse, it's just not the same.
They've had to make him more PC and 'real' but in doing so it just looks like they copied Jason Bourne.
Casino Royal probably the pick of the Craig movies for me.

Doesn't say a lot for their supporters. Will come out in droves if they are successful and play in a new stadium but rarely fill the current dump as they fight relegation. Massive, passionate, loyal fan base my arse.

If my house was falling apart around me a new huge flat screen would be way down the list. Only going to make the rest of the dump look even worse anyway.

Graham Coughlan on last weekend's performance;
"I put the DVD on and we reviewed the game, and I made a comment that is not like me, that we were like Barcelona"
Jesus, BS levels just hit a new height. I mean come on, Barcelona, again, seriously?

As tragic as this is, Nantes are entitled to their transfer fee. It’s not their fault.
To be honest, they shouldn’t have to be asking for it..! It’s poor on Cardiff’s part, imo.
Puuting emotions to one side, surely Cardiff would have had him (and all players) insured..? Or is the insurance invalidated by using unregisterd aircraft and their dodgy deals..?
A tragic event, that should never have happened and you wouldn’t wish on anyone. But it has happened and Cardiff owe Nantes the transfer fee.
Absolutely i agree but none of this side of it should be in the public domain IMO. The famlies and loved ones involved could well do with out it i'd imagine.

Just catching up on the latest on this.
Where are your morals at Nantes? Demanding the first payment. That is absolutely disgraceful.
Now reading they have just recovered the yet unidentified body from the plane wreckage.
What a tragic and sorry state of affairs this is.

Sightings of red flares were reported during a lifeboat and helicopter search, but "nothing of significance was found", a Channel Islands Air Search spokeswoman said.
Wonder if there is a slim chance they survived the initial crash. No idea if a plane like that would be kitted with a life raft, perhaps life jackets?
Fingers crossed for them both.

Cockman on January window:
"Like I say there is one or two players out there I would bring in tomorrow to help out the football club and the CEO and the owners have backed me with everything I have done so far, they put their hand in their pocket for a Nandos the other day."
Steady on Wael...Nandos! Well there goes a signing on fee for someone.

Their next manager will be the cheapest option based on recent form, so don't expect them to pay for either the likes of Hollowhead or Cotts or any other experienced manager for that matter. My money is going on the caretaker being made a permanent appointment.
Think you are probably right. He will get a memorable draw up at Sunderland at the weekend, followed by a few points at home, get appointed then be helpless to stop them going down.

A club plane?
Although it does say it would be for the fans, so they would only need a 3 seater (including pilot)
Do you have a pilots licence? @Robbored

Talk about digging your own grave - fair play though, he is going to go down swinging.
Staggeringly blunt interview.

He's right in what he says but should of saved that for the board. Just goes to show how frustrated he is.

That's more than a Tilson.
Not quite - 1 Tillson = 370k.
Given that Tillson was a good signing for them, for that price, Nicholls must go down as one of their very worst.

They have a pretty good record of finding goalscorers to be fair.
Some years back im sure it was Andy Rammell they signed and his goals were the difference in them staying up.
