I can think Portsmouth... that's about it. That's who I was thinking of. Not exactly closer to Sheffield though is it? I think the family life is being read into incorrectly. I think that's more to do with taking in their opinions than location. After all he was at Southend that's not exactly close?

Are there any managers jobs available right now? Any about to become available? (Ipswich?) I can think Portsmouth... that's about it.

Beyond dreadful. Weve made them look like the beat team in the division...
We cannot play 3 at the back in the second half. You shouldn't get cut open through the centre when you have 3 CBs. Therefore put that man elsewhere

I haven’t championed anyone. I have been more critical than I have praiseworthy of the ALQ regime and there isn’t anything I haven’t posted here I haven’t said directly to Wael either. What I have posted, many times, is that when I did level a few things their way, there isn’t a blind arrogance about it, but a recognition that mistakes were made, some of them big ones too. That humility is all too rare in business but especially in football. There is a genuine attempt to do something positive and to move us forward. I think you’ll agree Swiss that’s something every director/owner/president/chairman has ever wanted for this club and that should be supported. I know that can be difficult when we don’t know the full facts or stories to what’s going on, but in the main we have to have a measure of respect to them for being involved in the first place. What isn’t helped was an infectious disease being spread from the top table via a few on the supporters club, shareholders and those with friends or associates with it. Some coming on here strutting their stuff trying to look important by slagging our owners and spreading malicious gossip and lies. Then attempting to pretend it wasn’t them doing it despite the electronic footprint they left behind. But just because I didn’t side with those select few idiots who had their ears tickled doesn’t mean I’m out and out camp Al’Qadi. I’m a rovers supporter who wants the best for the club. It’s very easy to run someone else’s business from the outside, especially when we don’t know what the long term goal is or whether there is a motivation to write off or swallow some of the debt that has been accrued. I agree I find it disconcerting but I think we need to see what gives with the FM before being totally judgemental. Communication could always be improved, why he doesn’t do more media I don’t know, that’s a question for him but Wael also has a right to a personal social media account to post what he sees fit to his friends or people that he allows to follow him. I have a personal social media from my business ones also, not quite the same I know because I don’t have any form of public profile, but Wael is only an owner of a L1 football club, he’s not in any way celebrity. I would love to get involved with the club at the SC level but I’m very sure, along with a few fellow fans who have also looked at it, it’s very much a closed door and under its current leadership my face wouldn’t fit and neither would my direct style. I’m also under 50 so there is no chance of engaging right now. IMO we will be letting down ourselves and all the Gasheads who have passed on in recent years if we don't press for answers on this Fruit Market stadium plan. And in a nutshell is why I'd like to know the further context to these plans. The fruit market is a mystery box to those out of the loop. It sounds as if it has the potential to be a game changing event. But... Its almost impossible for any reasoned person to argue for the massive jump of new owners and new stadium based on a few forum posts. Which is why many of want to know the full story and not chosen snippets. Some of the answers I believe Wael should be providing. I.e. what is the latest with stadium plan? And he has not been. Other questions should now be answered by those that shed light on all this over a year ago but have been proven wrong.

Left wing.
I dont think weve played a left winger all season so GC prefers horses for courses in this position over the current options available.

Goodness me it get stupider by the minute on here. Let me give you an example of the conversation, I know some people need it simple.... Me: “Are we in talks with anyone else about any other site? Wael: No only the fruit market site at the moment. Any part of that you haven’t heard via Geoff Twentyman from Wael himself? Its worth noting that it was an ex director (swissgas) making theories that we were being touted about. So if you’re looking for a rumour mongerer and BS spreader then you’ll find plenty to keep yourself entertained. yesterday at 11:37am gashead1981 said: I don’t think we are being touted around, in fact I know we aren’t. I also know there is a another interested party trying to get the attention of the owners. It could be that the investors are not football men at all and may not want any day to day involvement. If wael retains a shareholding the club continues to have Waels contacts as well as the existing board management to stabilise the football arm of the business. The investors will only be looking at the profit inside the mem site, profit garnered from commercial opportunities within a new stadium site and the long term value of BRFC in a new stadium, with new training facilities as a championship club minimum. Now I don’t know the exact maths they are working to but if there wasn’t decent sums in it, then they wouldn’t be as advanced as making offers on land etc. But I’m sure Brighton would be a very good model to look at and we also have some very good inside knowledge on that from TG. You were saying? ITK?I'm going to try and explain the difference. I really hope this helps. Gashead 1981 has made a claim- and given his source. The rest of us can take the statement with the context and determine for ourselves whether we believe it true... So for me- Even though I've supported Wael in the past and dont believe gashead 1981 is lying. I still take his statement with skepticism. And that's because I dont know what his relationship is with Wael and whether G81 is someone that would be confided in... The difference to your postings is that you state them as factually accurate and run away when asked any further question. - who told you what you know? - who is the interested party? These are questions that you have been asked and have refused to answer. Hence the debate stops. It doesn't mean you're wrong but in the opinion of myself it has stirred up a lot of negative emotion amongst fans and other forum users. And it's at this point it feels (to me, maybe others) There's has been element of politicking. Now, many will accept that perhaps a NDA meant that you shouldn't have disclosed as much as you did. And you genuinely believed that X would happen at Y and wanted fellow gasheads to know as much as possible. That's good. However, timelines you set came and passed. And that opens you up to scrutiny. Rather than admit you have been wrong. You have blamed those responsible for transactions that be. That's not how the truth works. The term ITK is being used ironically to pass judgement on unsubstantiated sources. 1981 is not being a ITK-pain because he has always explained how hes come by the information he has. All of the above is not a problem in itself. The issue has arose because a lot of the *ITK* has been mixed in with personal opinion. Ie. When the club is back in the hands of Bristol rovers people it will all be ok. There is clearly an outcome bias here. Again- if you'd like to answer the questions in the middle I'd be grateful.

Who told you that, and how do they know? I don't want their name. I mean who are they in a business or club-related sense? It's about time we started asking people about their sources, if they want to be taken seriously. Which I would like to think they do, unless they are WUMs. Nothing personal pucklegas. I'm just fed up with rumours. They spoke to someone connected with the fruit market and he was told we are miles away, they did mention figures and our offer allegedly is not even close, it came from a fellow Gashead who is fed up himself of BS, I posted so we are not all under false hope, nothing would please me more than to be told this is incorrect, however the silence is deafening. This seems to echo what Ali Durdan was saying but with a twist. He suggested that although the two are way off there was a belief they could meet.

Umm, again, no. And I’m surprised at you Swiss given your knowledge of business and being an ex director as you will all about shareholding, profit and loss. If the ALQs do sell 60% of their shareholding and they still own 30% of a loss making business, you have to fund 30% of the losses which at our current run rate of £3m per year is just under £1m. So what part of that is a freebie? I didn’t mention a freebie ? The point I’m making is about the apparent conditions attached to the sale. How many potentially superb new owners for Rovers will be put off by a proviso that one of the old owners stays on ? Nick Higgs wanted to stay on but Dwane Sports said no and most Gasheads agreed with that. What is different now ? Isn’t it more likely that the only people willing to agree to one of the previous owners staying will be those desperate to get into football at any cost ? People who may be able to cobble together a compromise deal but one which is not the best one for Rovers and which is likely to condemn us to permanent inferiority to Bristol City. Hmmmmm I think were guess a stumble block before the real challenge is achieved. Ie. Planning. It would seem foolish to think that both parties are diametrically opposed to the offer as it stands. Its clearly all about planning. If the fish market site becomes Omg crazy good and rovers is a part of it then the club is worth more. If theres no planning- the club is worth less. Until theres a firm option to build a stadium then the fruit market group are nothing.

...I'll hold fire for now until the full bullshit is spouted then I will respond... This bit. The tease of more ITK. I think you should just "spill" now. Fathoms belief that you cant see how this constant honeydicking is splitting the fans. Or alternatively just admit- theres nothing more to say?

Keep up the cheating GC lets see where it takes you. Probably mid table but with no admiration from other clubs when you win. Bore off ... your name sums you up perfectly. What a way to spend Sunday morning ... trolling another teams website. Do something constructive instead... top up the bird feeders in your garden or Go and talk to God ! Maybe wash the car 🚘 or sweep the leaves from your council flat veranda ! He/she probably has 91 usernames in the hope one day he'll get to log on to Citeh forum and whine about VAR. Jog on- pal. No doubt banned from the Shrewsbury one.

Agree. As suggest my a previous thread I created. There is too much focus on the negative aspects.
Were on a roll- let's give the boys some of that famous gas spirit. When we all came together under DC the place got pretty special.
I do think theres a wider point- football is becoming a little more predictable generally... most players now have a powerful physique and those with truly electric pace appear few and far between. The game is a lot more about control than gung ho attitude of yesteryear. I dont think were alone in pragmatic style.
The moments of magic still exist.

The booing was too far.
I'm a TN fan and have always suggested we support him. I think the first 10 or so games he was fantastic. I think the last 10 or so (cups included) hes hit a dubious patch of form.
I look at Wimbledon away and he was way better than JCH. Yet- Nicho got cramp and JCH got a goal. Sometimes it ain't fair.

No doubt I’ll be told I’m a happy clapper- but can we please cheer up a little?
We’re in a decent league position. THD (maybe our best player?) is back from injury. JCH is a beast. Alfie looks ace. Anssi is going to the euros. Abu has been great. There have been many more success stories this season.
All we ever see is doom and gloom. Fruit market riots, Tom Nicholls out, No exciting players, Walsall are losing, where’s the gaffers poppy, Ollie Clarke isn’t the player he was, Benno is on too much... there’s a case to be made for all those sentiments but-
Cheer up ladies and gentlemen. I understand the frustration but I think we need to calm down and back the team a little more. GC is something a different he just gets on with it, honestly he infuriates me at times but he’s turned it around big style.
Can I say again we have JCH. The man’s a legend. Let’s get the bounce back...
