Rob Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Thankfully Nationwide Finance is nothing to do with the building society. There is no way they would lend to a shady outfit like them, and I'd be worried about my 100 quid bonus the building society are paying next month to us loyal members if they did lend to them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything City related tends to be on the negative - we "fail" they "miss out", they're "edged out by a strong side" whereas we are "beaten by a below par side" etc. I'm sure that this is part of the reason that their fans are so deluded, and some of ours are perpetually disappointed. Could it just be that the journos are reflecting the attitudes of supporters? There is a section of our support that is farcically critical. Everything is a disaster. We should have done this, should have done that. As you say, with that lot it is mostly delusion so the team were unlucky etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it matters though because with a local media that fawns all over them and sneers at us they still can't get close. How embarrassing is that?

Interesting that Sam Frost has been moved on from his almost complete obedience to the cult of Barton. Hopefully James Piercey will be able to challenge Barton more on his style of management. It's felt like journalists were previously scared to call him out on his decision making, and behaviour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is his record of bad behaviour which is the problem. In any society or organisation people make mistakes but often they learn, everyone deserves a 2nd chance. JB has a long history of incidents and shows no signs of changing. I couldn't easily support a team that employed someone like that. Good to hear that some Rovers supporters have the same reservations, not so good that some have a blind faith in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly can’t see that happening, whilst Piercy is a superior journalist, print media is dying on its arse & so the temptation to run outlandish stories is high. Barton gives them what they want, quotable nonsense about hating the opposition, having no respect for their achievements & his moaning about the officials after virtually every defeat. The “story” about the cancelled pre season friendly with them is a case in point. I genuinely believe that he made it up, for a start we are sorting out the pitch post the Arctic Monkeys gig, so it would have been at the HPC, which makes the claim “fans would love it” irrelevant as no one could actually attend. His ridiculous & obnoxious claims attract far more attention than those of a more sober reflective manager. Frost moved on, as has Forrester because it’s poorly paid & not secure employment these days, he was a total disgrace though, basically North Korean in his reporting. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
