Because the sh** haven't been told there is no money to spend. Not sure what you're talking about. Have we been told there is no money to spend? Darrell said in his recent interview that any new players coming in will rely on players leaving. This must indicate that the budget limit (Snake and Chelsea match fund) has been reached.

we will all be dead before Rovers get into the Prem - Dead I tells ya Ain't that the truth! If the unthinkable happens and the sh** make it to the Premiership (where they will get hammered and go straight back down)? Can anyone envisage this fan base accepting long term evolution plans whilst playing in a run down dump, losing money and no money available for players whilst the owners swallow massive losses year on year? Why do you think our fans should be constantly comparing us to them. If our owners want to build the club up from the ground slowly and give us a solid foundation then it’s up to them they bought it it’s theirs. We could compare our club to any of the other 91 but what difference does that make ?

Yeah, because if we had £200,000 to spend in the window, DC would say 'we have £200,000 to spend in the window.'

Kind of.....in the 20pence one (I think) he was most likely wanting to bring some new players in (depending on form till January partially) but did not know at the time what budget he would be given. That if the funds were not enough then some players might have to go out the door first. He alluded to already having targeted a few people.

It doesn’t matter the only thing that matters is that our club is in the right hands and is being taken forward. There are doubts starting to sink in about the board and I understand that but so far Wael has done what he said he was going to do. He never said we’d definitely be moving to the UWE under the old agreement. He’s managed to keep our manager and our best players apart from Twatty ‘money’ Failure and bought land for a training ground. The groundwork is going in slowly but surely and that’s how he said it would be done.

Firstly its an article for a middle eastern audience not a Bristol one. Repeats the same ideas and long term goals as were stated from the start of their ownership. Mentions again it will be a slow process ,ensuring the building blocks are in the foundations first then build upwards. Pointing out how well Man City have done over a nine year period spending fortunes and saying whilst admireable it will not be the same at Rovers but the goals are of similar standards. Suggesting that Wael sees nine years as a short period of time and that their tenure to take the club to the top flight will be much longer. In short. The Al Qadis are here for the long term future (25 years +) The target is to have better facilities in every aspect of the club. To set up a system where young players from the academy will be the backbone of the squad. Don't expect massive overnight investments its not in the business plan. Patience and hard work with the right investments will bring premier league football eventually. So how are we going to build a training ground costing £5m+ and regen the Mem costing £30m if someone doesn't finance? If we were making £2m profit each season rather than losses I could see the logic in the evolution argument. If posters haven't woken up and smelt the coffee after DC's interview they are just in denial for some reason.

You could possibly look at it this way. if the money is in a loan form then the club doesn't need the cash upfront. In the way that I didn't have the full value of my house in cash to buy it ,I got a loan (mortgage) and just contributed a reasonable deposit. Paying the money back over 25 years. If the club over 25 years produced 5 players of a sellable quality ...say £5 -10 million from the academy then that money would mostly pay for the stadium and the colony.

I think the board just builds up expectations and this causes more harm by these statements. I just accept we are a bottom half club struggling ( same as the last 30-40 years) and we now need the realisation to deal with this reality. Far better the Gerry Francis and twerton approach than dreamers and spinners who keep telling us " A new ground : revamped Mem; Championship football and much more". Time to accept our reality and start from this point..

What a joker! The only prem we're likely to reach is the conference one again!
Our problems are stemming from the top again and spiralling down. Same problems all over again.

This must indicate that the budget limit (Snake and Chelsea match fund) has been reached. IT seems that all the snake money plus £50k was p1gssed away buying Nicholls. Peterborough must be laughing their effing socks off. I wonder how much they paid for Marriott? Im not sure that DC is yet able to operate at this level-and that's not speaking with hindsight, I questioned whether he was able to operate at a higher level when we first got back into the league.

I read that it was thought to be £500k for marriott who was signed from luton but like nichols its officially undisclosed.

We're heading for Div 2 and he talks about the Premiership being doable, you have to wonder if he's seriously off his rocker.

I read that it was thought to be £500k for marriott who was signed from luton but like nichols its officially undisclosed. I'm pretty sure the Marriott fee was reported to be £400k. I'd rather have spent the extra £50k and got him in. I said he was worth a bid when Luton started sniffing around James Collins. Always rated Marriott going back to his Ipswich days where he got 26 goals in his final youth season and on loan at Woking where he scored a few and looked a class above.
