Philgas Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 32 minutes ago, Tinmans Love Child said: The test on restructuring properly/not spending money will be if you struggle next season and you need to spend in order to stay up. League 1 isn't a quality division but it's tough, as many bigger clubs will testify, personally I would prefer to take things into my own hands and sign some proven quality upfront to give every chance of success, it's a gamble to not do that and rely on the team spirit in place, which can easily disappear with a poor start (see us last season) Fair comment. . I think in all honesty we'll fair ok and get a foothold and build on from that .. I'm not as impatient as some others ..

steviestevieneville Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Compared to the step up from league1 to the championship . Basement to league one is nothing special I wouldn't think. Helps if you sign some players mind . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Turning the Memorial Ground into a first class training facility! That's stretching it a bit even with "gaslogic" applied. What would they do with santa's grotto. They're better off turning it into a turnip patch as they have a lot of vegetables in and around the dump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still got a lot to prove as to whether he's any good against reasonable opposition. Whether he turns out to be the next Alex Ferguson or not, I don't think anyone can deny that he is a bit of a bellend, with his embarrassingly cringeworthy antics to get in with the fans. Very unprofessional. Also his supposed hatred of City is a joke, having never even been involved in a game against us. I'm sure most of your lot lap it up, but seriously, he comes across as a complete tool. And as for his intimate relations with domestic pets... Well...! Not someone I'd want involved with our club. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bert tann Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 18 hours ago, Bristol Rob said: Wouldn't worry about that. He has added a load of salaried directors to the board of his loss making football club. They'll make all the difference. And if they don't, what's another half million a year to such a wealthy football club? #gaslogic I'm not sure this is completely correct. If they were salaried directors one imagines Mr Cunnah, Mr Atkins and Mr Turner would at least list Bristol Rovers on their Linkedin page ? They appear to be firmly embedded in other businesses but no doubt enjoy the Mateus Rose with their sardine and tomato paste sandwiches on Saturdays at the Mem.
