pride of the west Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 2 hours ago, RumRed said: If true I hope there won't be too much gloating on here, football deserves better. No chance. They deserve everything they get. The misguided gloating in the days following the take over is enough to not hold back when it goes belly up. We told them to watch out but all they were interested in was the value of wally's watch. We knew they had sold out but they wouldn't listen and were more than willing to hold him high on their shoulders after promotion he played no part in. Should the rumours be true and they are planning an exit strategy then I will find it highly amusing. If they get a fan consortium together to buy the club, realise once and for all that they are way too behind to challenge for and then sustain championship football, and then run the club within their means, I will give them a bit of respect. But I can't see that happening. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this (likely to be) a post Brexit crisis, a shortage of skilled workers likely to push the prices up, or am I being too simplistic?

I would imagine a contractor would want some pretty expensive guarantee bonds too given the nature of the customer - football clubs aren`t exactly the most reliable of customers, particularly lower league ones who are heavily in debt with no real assets.

pongo88 Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 3 hours ago, bert tann said: Yes, you would think so, but remember that one of the underlying weaknesses at Rovers is the timidity of what Bristol Rob calls "the more sensible Gas". I believe many fans close to the inner workings of the club know what is happening but, out of a misplaced sense of loyalty, refuse to speak openly. Many of us assessed Nicholas as a well meaning and committed Rovers fan but knew his blundering would eventually lead to disaster which it did. But only a few were prepared to speak up and they did so not out of personal malice but because they saw the well being of the club was threatened. The same applies with the current owners where every fan wants them to succeed but the vast majority prefer to turn a blind eye to the worrying gap in credibility which is now opening up rather than speak out and potentially help avert a catastrophe. Bert - why not come out and admit you're really a lifelong City fan? Your comments are far too sensible for someone of a Rovers persuasion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NLBR Having a pop at @bert tann saying he's a fake gashead and @Miah Dennehy saying he's sick because he uses the name of an ex Rovers player who was severely injured outside a pub a few years back... probably uses that name because he was a favourite player of his per chance? Because there was none on gaschat with Matty Taylor referenced names now was there?

Funny you mention this as was speaking to a sheff utd fan today and he said rovers fans were the trampiest fans they had this season. Also sung several songs about us as well. 32k to wembley and 9k at home during two consecutive promotions. Says it all really, just jealous cretins with delusions of grandeur.

Your comments are far too sensible for someone of a Rovers persuasion No, I'm Rovers all right but there are supporters that are wiser and with much more inside knowledge than me who should be airing their views. It was OK to have a bit of fun at Nicholas' expense and if you remember I was winding you lot up a little when we all thought the new owners would have the financial muscle to complete the UWE deal and begin to give City a run for your money. But, starting with the excruciating BBC Bristol feature made in Jordan, as the months have passed the evidence has mounted that things are not as they should be. There is no point in typing the list of signals all over again save to say that from the "landing lights" comment by Stephen Hamer to the carpet cleaning and new curtains press release just recently it's obvious that the blundering around is continuing and people who are serious about what they do, such as the Governors of UWE and manager Darrell Clarke, will not put up with it for much longer. Unless they can find a benefactor among their friends in the Middle East who is willing to part with tens of millions for the privilege of owning a league 1 football club I fear our owners will be faced with the dilemma of either taking a substantial financial hit themselves or destroying an institution which has graced*** Bristol for the past 134 years.
