Eddie Hitler

Dateline Thursday 26 October.

Get Nigel back in with a big pay rise.

Take your pick: Or... Communication breakdown It's so funny how we donb't talk any more Are you receiving me? By the band in the OP:

The witches attempt to keep mum in this cathedral.

Interesting to know and good luck to him, you may not have seen it as yet but there is a new forum specifically for ex-City players which was only set up this week. https://www.otib.co.uk/forum/62-all-things-ex-players-and-managers/

Nigel's best opportunity to find out would have to go to the rugby Q&A and asked about the owners' intentions then.

It's going to be massively expensive to produce compared to something like Bargain Hunt which costs pennies, so if the viewing figures are similar then the axe is going to fall. Plus something like Bargain Hunt can be repeated on a loop which you can't do with a soap because of their continuous long story lines. I used to like Brookside but not enough others did so it ceased; these days I don't have a television but even when I did it never went on during the daytime so I haven't seen Doctors.

I think there was a Marvin Brown Dance Troupe in one episode.

It was probably chosen by him because of the annual goth festival that is held there.

And maybe still is, this looks fairly recent. -ish anyway, it has a fax number. https://b99.co.uk/electrician/hereford/peter-john-spiring/

Yes indeed. Though they have seemed perfectly happy with radio silence from Wael since things ceased to go his way so this is just more if the same. We have become so accustomed to our owner setting out development plans and transfer strategy, even if we're not always happy with it, that we have begun to see this kind of openness as the norm. It's a good point that the Rovers owners are doing a full blown secret squirrel on their fans, yet they seem perfectly happy with that.

TBF they would find it rather hard to make this tip six with a listed capacity of 11,000! Unless they include the vast hordes locked out in the car park. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Rovers_F.C.

Next!

Yes, I remember a great turn out the first time we played Wycombe. They're on a roll after a great season, the fans have been starved of success for years and there are all these great new grounds to visit. Fair play to them but I would probably pick Sheffield Wednesday as the stand out support given their league performance to date.

That's an astounding level of video quality for a phone, the goals are captured so professionally I was waiting for the replay of Tommy's second!

We should really be supporting grassroots football and encouraging our local non-league clubs like Mangotsfield, Yeovil, Bristol Rovers, and Weston and cheering them when they occasionally have a run in the FA Cup or manage to play for a few seasons in the football league proper. These are the clubs from where we might find the next Jamie Vardy, making medical splints through the week whilst turning out to give his all every Saturday on the pitch.

When he has been asked in interviews which teams he would like to manage, but hasn't as yet, the two he always mentions are us and Sheffield Wednesday.

Straight to the point. I couldn't agree more and find it astounding that so-called "really nice man" Wael and their new Kuwaiti owner are happy about having this bloke in charge and appointing his dubious mates into paid roles. Plus signing that woman-beating striker from Exeter. I thought Lee Power's Swindon had plumbed the depths of immorality in football but they are nothing compared to this lot. They are the family club if the family is Fred and Rose West. LondonLad26, London, United Kingdom, 2 days ago Anyone who has that animal as their coach should be ashamed. I'd demand a transfer, he's a thug and a criminal

After we were sufficiently fortunate to see the destroyer of clubs depart to the River Orwell it was accepted by almost everyone on here, and Nigel Pearson on his appointment, that we had three lean years coming up in which to desperately try to avoid falling foul of FFP by slashing the wage bill and selling our most marketable assets. I don't see that that has changed, other than to note that we are now into year three, the financial year end is 31 May, and after this last "holding" year we will be able to see what the Lansdown family does in the summer. Will it be a new contract for NP and money to spend, with the aim of a good crack at promotion, or will be a hunkering down in the mid-table of the Championship, hoping for a season when the stars align and we go up? It is very much a case of watch what they do in summer 2024 rather than listening to what they say between now and then.

The bloke is a violent thug with his one braincell pining away through loneliness. No respectable football club would have him on their payroll, let alone as manager. Unlike most on here, whilst I do laugh at their many pratfalls I am usually actually fine with Rovers; I'm not now though. I hope that they collapse.

It isn't "hate", the OP summed it up well. Most football clubs have fans who live, or lived, local to the club or have a family connection. Then you have the successful clubs who attract fans with no connection to the club but support it because it wins things, like supporting a successful Formula 1 franchise. Then you have Millwall with its popular reputation as the club with the nastiest, hardest, most violent fans in Britain. (Note - "popular reputation", I'm not trying to start a pissing contest here.) As such it attracts the "walk on the wild side" types who want to be associated with such despite their biggest transgression ever being stealing some Pick and Mix from Woolworths aged eight. The "deputy head at a prep school" example nails the type well.

I think you may well be right sir. Something like the Intertoto Cup.

For me the poison chalice is the "Fair Play" award, generally won by the team too weak and ineffectual to put in the crunching tackles and physical presence in the box and so finishing towards the bottom of the table. I think we won it under Danny Wilson but that could be my putting two and two together and making five.

How silly.
