The big issue for me is the ever increasing club debts, (what's the recent charge taken against the ground all about?) with no real signs the ALQ's actually investing any of their own personal money in the club. All we can hope is they are as genuine as they seem and in 3 to 5 years time we'll be watching Rovers play in a new stadium and having open days at our new training ground instead of the Mem.

I am constantly blown away by some of the comments on here. After over 3 decades of supporting rovers i feel these are the best of times. And yet there are constant moans and excessive negativity, ranging from stadium, fun days, timing of signings, kit availability, etc The short termism of some of my fellow supporters is very frustrating. It seems so apparent to me that the evolution is happening, our manager has a clear direction for the footballing side of the club - a 5 year contract, the quality of staff on recent interviews, the structuring of a philosophy that will run through all the age groups is all evidence of foundations being laid for success. The training​ ground purchase and proposals support the sensible direction our club is being taken on under the stewardship of an eminently sensible and likeable owner. I'm sure a stadium (of some sort) will come to pass or all the rest will prove pointless. The bigger picture is great as far as I'm concerned. Sit back and enjoy is my philosophy. There will be mistakes made, bad decisions and sh** days BUT relative to the last 30 years i have more faith than ever. I'm sure DC and Wael have it in hand. I think rather than the hope i have always has i now have belief. And in terms of the transfer activity, i think the time to judge is 1st September. I'm impressed with the 4 so far (on paper) and have no doubt there will be more in the next few weeks. UTG Very uplifting post. Oh! How I wish I shared your belief, but all I have is hope. Admittedly I have more hope than I have had for some time,but it is still only hope. I just hope that this club can finally turn good intentions into reality. As they say seeing is believing.

Trouble is that when the manager says he will make 11 or 12 signings and the Chairman says the manager has a top-6 budget and gives the manager a 5 year contract then expectations build-up and when there is a lack of delivery against what is said the frustration builds.

I think the 4 signings so far look good. We've got plenty of time left in the window and I'm glad we're not being taken for mugs and paying over the odds for average players.

Unless we're taken for mugs and start the season hopelessly short of decent Div 1 players? It seems somebody has to budge at some point, either DC or the players agents.
