Many years ago under Glen Hoddle they got demoted by three divisions I think it was for some sort of financial irregularities.Anyway ,I'm having a good day.Moved to Devon in Feb and been constantly pestered by British Gas to pay bill after bill.Not even with them and now transpires the money owed was not me.Full apology and refund and a token compensation received today so feeling smug. Changed your user name Staffs? Staffordshire for 50 years when the RAF sent me there but now living in Devon so new name and closer to the Mem but a long way for the Carlisle and Hartlepool away game!!!!

Harrystokegas get off this forum and join the misery brigade on the AF forum I tried and then I thought to myself, I’m on an echo chamber and that’s exactly what I sought to abolish by posting on here. I want to create an environment where people like me, Swiss, Knowall can feel comfortable about posting critical thoughts about the ownership and not be shouted down by a 100 different people with views that can’t accept my own. People have said stop responding, he wants a reaction. But that’s exactly what I want, for views such as mine to go without response all the time so that they gradually begin to be accepted on this forum once again. Most don’t have an issue with challenges to Wael and the board for their management of the club. However most DO have an issue with repeated misinformation and distortion of the truth to suit an agenda that’s very clear to be seen.

I think it's relevant to us, and it will be interesting to see how the situation pans out, and discuss any implications for Rovers. The problem is that, once again, a decent thread has been derailed so that it turns into a discussion about a certain person's favourite topic. Considering the stuff that GGMI has been banned for in the past, I think harrystokegas is getting off way too lightly.

The owners running out of money, hence the strive for sustainability which has now gone out the window so that Wael can save face. That’s a paradox I don’t like at all and one which shows all the hallmarks of bad business leadership. I’d have much more respect for Wael if he stuck to his sustainability goal, especially coming out of the pandemic. Then there’s the viability of the club playing at the mem for decades to come. The aging fan base and facilities that will be falling apart in 10/20 years time really worry me. If you look carefully both Swindon and Rovers share many of the same problems. Just as Swindon took no steps to remedy them, I see Rovers making the very same mistakes. 1. Can you provide evidence for the claim you make in bold above please. A move towards sustainability is not an indication of running out of money, it is simply good practice in any venture. You seem a bit confused on why you're criticising Wael here. The move towards sustainability seems to be offered as some sort of evidence that he is running out of money then you criticise the spending of money as unsustainable. Can you be a bit clearer on what your expectations are in that regard please? 2. I don't want to look carefully, you have made the claim so I'm asking you to illuminate that point - I'm sorry I don't have the time to dedicate to detailed research today so I must rely on you please. 3. I don't think Swindon Town's problems have anything to do with their facilities does it? If you can point me to a news article on that I'd be grateful. My understanding is that there are clear administrative issues within the club - "mistaken" sales of shares. Money missing from directors loan accounts. Is that not their problem? Please explain how this relates to their facilities. Yeh.... it's not gonna happen is it. For that reason I've banned him. I know we'll get blamed as acting like North Korea - f**k it frankly - I've taken one for the team: one of the forum rules is no WUMs - this guy was clearly a WUM. So au revoir

The guy reaks of one of the Higgs Toadies who used to frequent the boxes in their cheap polyester suits, club tie and unpolished shoes. The leaches who looked to suck everything out of the club and in turn gave back next to nothing. Now Wael is in charge they are using any opportunity to spread nonsense.

But the evidence points in different directions. Your one-liners or two-liners just criticising doesn’t create any sort of environment where anyone feels that comfortable. You stifle debate with your prejudice. You are trying to wind-up and get others to rise to your barbs. Had you started with a genuine wish to debate you may have been more successful in engaging others, but you didn’t. And the manner in which you post makes any debate impossible. Best not to think you’re similar to Swiss. Although I don’t agree with all he says I do respect his well-argued views and the evidence he uses. Others on here will disagree with me over that which is fine. Lots of different opinions, respectfully listened to. Thinking you’re on the same level as him is delusional. And in the end I’d say it’s Wael who has stopped us becoming another Swindon perhaps. So very, very different. UTG!

Everyone is entitled to an opinion - hell I go against the grain with many on here re. Barton. But I do TRY to explain my stance. Harrystokegas was purely acting as a WUM. For that reason he had to go.

On the note of being a North Korea - sometimes it’s very difficult to draw the line on if a poster is a WUM or if they’re someone with very strong opinions.
Strong opinions are fine but when you consistently derail threads which have nothing to do with the matter at hand a line has to be drawn as that’s just pure trolling.

I noticed yesterday when the fixtures came out that the EFL have done Wycombe’s and Derby’s fixtures in a way that they can have each other’s after Derby’s punishment has become clear. Wycombe, and I know we have no love for them, seem to think Derby Co. have been “systematically cheating” for years and want the punishment to include a points deduction which would mean Derby being relegated instead of them. It looks as if the EFL feel the same by what they have done about the fixtures. But the independent panel have given them a fine. It seems like.y the next season will have started before the case is completed. So Derby being relegated will not happen but they may have to financially compensate Wycombe, between £10-15m! And a points deduction on next season. I suspect that Wycombe are right but we all know bigger clubs get away with it more than little clubs. Them and Swindon seem to be in deep ****. Now that football looks likely to show a slow return to normal expect more of these things perhaps. UTG!

While i respect other posters are entitled to express different views to my own, the hi-jacking of nearly every thread, by harrystoke, to advertise his anti Wael thoughts are frankly becoming boring, if its done just to wind people up then mission accomplished, like others have said i would implore members to ignore the posts and he will get fed up and go away, hopefully!
