Where is/was Jevanis Brown rehabilitation, is he fully rehabilitated in a few months? How has his attitude changed? Does he still drink alcohol and how does it affect him? Is he on any courses for this rehabilitation - he may have met Barton on one... I have read he received counselling for alcohol issues since 2021, then this happens in 2023 - so please explain how he is now some sort of rehabilitated role model. Did Brooker or Orr get signed when they had been sacked by their previous club, had just pleaded guilty to assaulting a woman, and had another assault charge hanging over them as well?

Isn't Al Quidi a top top man with a nice watch who engages with the fans, I am sure if anyone asks him on Social Media what did he mean when he put out that statement originally he will reply with 100% honesty....

You seem to be trying very hard to convince yourself it's all ok because a court dealt with it, whilst saying you don't condone it, then asking a load of strange questions about a load of other stuff. Do people think it is only footballers who should lose their living after pleading guilty to 2 assaults against a woman? Definitely not. Let's be fair here, footballers are meant to be role models for people to look up to, especially kids. Your mob have signed a player who was still in the middle of all of this, and you (Barton/Wael) signed him because nobody else wanted him, and he was simply going cheap. Many would have thought slightly different if you did the same signing a year or two down the line and came out with all the rehabilitation rubbish, but no, not Barton, sign him when he has just pleaded guilty and with another charge hanging over him. Family club my arse. The last couple of seasons will have you down as one of the most despised clubs in the UK. Your club deserves Barton and Barton deserves your club.

Plus a subscription to Babestation for the W

A month to month contract, why don't we give him one of those famous 'pay as you play' contracts.....

Wasn't this the man in charge of us in the PO final against Brighton? What was pure entertainment about that game? What "proper" management skills did he show us all that day? What about the drinking culture under him, did that cost us a few points and automatic promotion, and ultimately his job?

So they are still happy to work with them for one already guilty charge, but if it's two guilty verdicts it may be too much? Makes no sense from their point of view. I hope they aren't getting paid by Rovers as it looks a bit of a conflict of interest/brown envelope situation.

What I don't understand about this is he's already admitted and been charged for one assault against a woman already? So where do they stand on that?

No, the next room....

It may have been headline making news if a few people knew about it. What if only one or two people knew? I know of a woman who worked at City sleeping with 2 married City players a few years ago (ex players now). It wasn't reported on here or anywhere as far as I am aware, but I can guarantee it was true as I knew her very well. I'd also bet a few others on here know of such stories too that are 100% true.

That Post article is mental, could easily take multiple parts of it and rip it apart as laughable. But I do like the one quote here where he seems to be taking credit for Anderson "Jennings’ principles also guided the decisions to bring in James Connolly and Elliot Anderson in January." Rovers or Jennings simply just got lucky with Anderson when they signed him on loan. Due to their brilliant recruitment planning by the likes of Rovers, Barton and Jennings, Rovers were basically ringing around clubs at the end of the transfer window scrounging for any players (not too hard to believe). Newcastle had Anderson and they offered him to Rovers, they said he was an excellent prospect but a lack of experience, so it would be a bit of a gamble if it would work out or not. There was no "guided decisions" to bring Anderson in, unless you count guided into scrambling around clubs scrounging, they just got very lucky due to their own planning of recruitment being abysmal.

Let me know when that is happening as I'll drop mine off.

I'd rather have an owner who wants out and then leaves us with Ashton Gate, the infrastructure, the training ground, 20k+ crowds at home week in week out, and if built by the time he leaves the new Arena, new hotel, new flats etc etc etc. Rather that than an owner who obviously wants in, a true gashead, and have the Mem with it's tinpotness and an effort of a training ground, and a terrible following that won't be going up anytime soon. Tough choice...

I literally just watched this myself and was about to post it!

I don't think anyone would argue with that. All I am saying is there is a very valid reason why it happened. We were hardly going to keep up the improved trajectory with a fair few important players injured, and I think it is a bit of an unfair criticism, all things considered.

Surely a lot of that that was simply down to our horrendous injury list and thin squad.

It was a long read for me as the text kept moving to different parts of my screen, with adverts being added on top of the text. Worse than the BP for adverts!

What's all that about? Surely you would want a contractor wouldn't you being a so called professional football club?

It's still a mystery to me how all of these snipers get into the ground and never get caught.

A mate of mine thinks everything he says is excellent, edgy etc and always tells it as it is. I can guarantee I will hear the words of "you'll struggle this season and be in for a relegation fight, and we will probably be top 6", I hear the same every single season with no irony whatsoever. A few others are a bit more "honest" shall we say, but hardly any of them go and watch them.

The difference with a roulette wheel is the margin is fixed so they will never lose longterm. With the bookies they could have a larger margin in their book than a casino, but can still get it wrong. So it comes down to the punter to spot/know where the value/wrong prices are, hence why bookies ban completely or restrict many punters literally to betting maximum stakes of pennies with them (Horse racing especially).

They could sell off the penalty spots as "like new as has hardly ever been used"

Plenty of people won't know what an IP is, let alone a VPN.

You outing @Davefevs

The books wouldn't have taken hardly any bets yet (if any), Cardiff opened at the price they are due to the opinion of the bookies odds compilers, I doubt they've had a penny put on them yet.
