Nichols is not the problem and like the snake will possibly need time to get going. The bigger problem is DC has also kept Ellis and Gaffney, neither score enough goals, and he has not brought in the number of "better players" he promised to bring in over the summer. That is why we are 2 and O and looking awful from back to front. The more I think about it the more I think this summers recruitment is a big disappointment, especially when you look at some of the signings other League One clubs have made. The "top 6 budget" bollocks we were fed is just that, BOLLOCKS. think the best we can hope for now is a loan or two. We need a result at Bury next weekend, another ground we seem to struggle at.

"There comes a time doesn't there?" said Clarke about the clubs need to invest on the pitch. "That time is now," he added. "You can't stand still when it comes to recruitment and as always in recruiting players - money talks. If you want the best players to play you've got to pay, the budgets now are big." Get the cheque book out Wael.

I love the fact that people are still saying give the owners time etc. Our owners have had over 40 years in total to work it out, but never mind, patience is the name of the game. The only way to justify patience is to come clean about what went wrong at UWE. It certainly doesn't take 18 months to decide Higgs plan was crap. If the freehold was the stumbling block, that could have been clarified in the first 10 minutes of the first meeting. We could then have been looking for alternatives for the last 18 months. As for the Mem, there will be a two year period of discussing options, then decide it just doesn't pay, and we will be back to square 1 with no UWE option. Wael was not party to the UWE talks, so it's Hani and Mike Turner who should be answering for what went on. Wael is only repeating bits and pieces second hand. The service in the bars is bloody awful, and perhaps Box 1 should come down and try to buy a drink or some food. If they can afford it that is. It's cheaper at some clubs in London than here. Anyway, to the football. It was bloody awful. End of. I never heard about any direct talks between Wael and UWE. Almost as if he wasn't that interested? Still, the owners/directors always have parking spaces and nice facilities in their private boxes. For the rest of us the ground is just rubbish, an embarrassment.

what were the plan b's for the severnside ,mangotsfield,stoke Gifford and Higgs era UWE stadiums ? The plan B talk is rubbish, Other options only exist BEFORE you make your choice. Once you have decided what you are going for its based on that being the best option at the time. If you need as much money as possible for plan A and club running you don't waste hundreds of thousands on plan B. Plan A is always the new plan you work towards. Rovers are now focused on Plan A My thoughts exactly. The same team of highly experienced and expensive experts have other clients as well. When Wael says we need to regroup he means giving them the notice period to manage their existing work to focus around a new project. I' d rather wait for the right team and the right solution. We only know the plan inherited - we have no idea what modifications they sought. They have made a significant investment in this club and were clearly unhappy with some elements. We need to embrace a different solution - I speak as a UWE project supporter but now believe the mem offers the best way forward. What is there not to like about being close to Gloucester Rd. Every effort should be made to incentivise people to minimise car use as this is the major headache even for a capacity unchanged from now. A development that may offer community facilities, protects businesses in the area, and preserves the memo for sport has to be better than a supermarket for example. I was 100% behind the UWE project also but that has ended now. The decision was made ,it is now about being 100% behind the new project PLAN A Memorial stadium 2021

What will happen in 2021 will you then be behind the new Plan A, Lyde Green Stadium 2025?

Well reassuring......not! No answers and no idea. The fans put their faith in wael and he is letting us down badly. Come up with a plan or GET OUT! Well......you've called it. It's him or you. I'm going with him. UTG!

TBF Topper is just a fan like the rest of us. It's not his job to have a plan in place for a new stadium! He is allowed an opinion though regardless of whether it is a positive or negative one.

One of those defensive signings was injured and one of them came on when they were 3-0 down. They also beat title favourites Blackburn on the opening day when we couldn't score or beat a team with 10 men.

Surprised you haven't brought your Southend shirt and scarf for this season considering how much your bigging them up

Surprised you haven't brought your Southend shirt and scarf for this season considering how much your bigging them up I haven't really bigger them up that much, just impressed with a couple of their signings, likewise for Oxford, Bury, Peterborough, Blackburn and a couple of others.

I've said before that I am surprised that there was no plan b or c in place. These are wealthy professional investors and here not because they love Rovers but because they love money. As there was clearly no plan to fall back on I do feel slightly concerned - after all, there has been plenty of time to look at alternative solutions.

Or, they've had a plan B all along and rather than let on, they've kept it to themselves. As many wealthy investors do. If they loved money so much they wouldn't have bought a football club.

They must be f**king idiots. I agree with that but the money they stand to make is helping realise potential and maybe using a modern stadium with wuality meeting rooms etc for other events. There can be no other reason why they purchased the club
