I don't, but neither do you, so you can't say they're not pointless. I do know that since they joined we are performing worse on the pitch while struggling for budget. Maybe I should refer to them as lower priority than the playing staff. You neglected to comment on the London office. It's all wasted funds that could be vital in progressing the football team. Because I don't know what the office is being used for. I know when one player signed, he said he met there and thought we were professional. Who knows what else we use it for. It's probably easier for Wael to get the family to commit to funding things like that, than gifting money every season. So it's not as easy as one or the other. Until we get new facilities, they probably thought a mid table budget, was sufficient to stay in league 1. Our long term future is more important, so we don't know if the CEO is needed more than a player. That's why I'm 50/50. I'm not making out I know. But they could be doing what's best for the club. We don't know, is not a reason to want them to leave IMO. They've had plenty of opportunities to explain what the office is for and the benefits to the club. Likewise the vision for the playing side of things, the benefit of the new staff, their vision for the colony site, what their plans are for a new stadium, how these things fit into their overall vision for the club. How long do you give them the benefit of doubt that things are happening behind the scenes? The ALQs have chosen not to explain any of the above directly or through Hamer. With absolutely no track record of delivering on their promises what makes you continue to have faith in them?

IN all day long.. never seen the playing budget as healthy, we have a better set up than ever before (coaches) academy etc...
It’s the management that are letting down the owners.

Nichols, top scorer for Peterborough the season before he joined us (DC has ruined him)
Payne, a shadow of the player last season...
Rodman.. a shadow of the player he was terrific last season..
Mcburnie couldn’t even get a game for us and is now starting championship games...
DC has proved he is appalling at bringing in any players where there is expectation. Out he goes tada thanks for the memories though

Out he goes tada thanks for the memories though Amazing we managed two promotions as he is so bad with players. I would suggest the problem sits with the players taking our hard earned cash in wages.They should be busting a gut for the club. DC is the only one who is up front and actually seems to give a sh**.. I was gutted when the UWE fell through and on came Charlie Chuckle Hamer saying we can be like Wimbledon climbing in the back of a van.. As for the rest of them, total silence.

Out he goes tada thanks for the memories though Taylor - signed on a free as a FGR reject Bodin - signed on a free as a Torquay reject Harrison - turned a brat child into a great striker Leadbitter - singed on a free as a Hereford reject J. Clarke - Was at Woking Sinclair - signed on a free from Salisbury Lines - signed on a free as a Port Vale reject Sercombe - signed from Oxford Partington - signed from Eastleigh Just off the top of my head - clearly DC ruined all of them too! Jesus. DC brought in every player apart from Lockyer, Harrison, Brown & Ollie Clark (off the top of my head) that took us from the conference to L1. So I don't buy that his signings have been appalling where there is expectation. People can't have it both ways - some say "DC did what was expected in the Conference so its nothing special" - then you get "DC has proved he is appalling at bringing in any players where there is expectation" - well you can't have both, so which is it? DC has proved that he brought in a winning team that had incredible expectations, much higher than they are now! I'm not saying DC's recruitment has been perfect this season, it hasn't - but you post is clutching at straws to say the least. Nichols was hated at Peterborough. Payne was the only player who Shrewsbury fans actually said "I'm not bothered about him leaving at all" Rodman - i'll agree, but these things are called form - you may of may not have heard of it McBurnie - you cant even compare a youth player on loan ffs

Well said Ollie. Agree 100%. "It’s time for the owners of Bristol Roversto make a real statement of intent regarding the future of my beloved former club. "For too long now strong rumours have been circulating that the club is up for sale and I know from personal experience that such uncertainty can transmit to the players and staff. "The same situation existed when I first became manager of Queens Park Rangers in the latter stages of the 2000-01 season. "We ended up being relegated to what is now League One and it took me three years there to win promotion back to the second tier. "Looking from the outside at the moment, Rovers are a stationary boat, with a rudder, but no propeller. "Darrell Clarke is the rudder, possessing the necessary passion and coaching ability to guide the club towards calmer waters, but he needs some real drive from above to bring that about. "If the Al-Qadi family are not looking to sell the club they should come out and say so, while also injecting the sort of money for new players I and other fans expected when they took over. "Should they not be prepared to do that, the quicker they move out the better. "I understand the team were cheered off on Wednesday night, despite falling deeper into trouble with a 2-1 home defeat by Gillingham, and that sort of support deserves much better." www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ian-holloway-calls-out-bristol-2273567

It's looking really strange that DC didn't play him/rate him, I guess it might be down to him not liking to develop other club's players yet Bola had a bit of a run in the side...

Look at his transfers/loans in since we reached league one and they are mostly bad. He is struggling to recruit adequately at this level and it is showing on the pitch.

Has anyone asked Mrs Hugo if that's ok with her? She probably doesn't even notice. You’re getting mixed up with justincider

DC is being...umm...'consistent' at buying dross in league one. In particular he is struggling to find a striker who can integrate with the team and score goals.

You cannot recall the Trollope era? That was a very healthy budget. And the infrastructure that is in place has no home! That’s progress for you.

Now this is a much better point, his L1 signing (but mostly this summer lets be honest) haven't been as good as they should be. I was more debating the point when someone says DC can't recruit, his appointments have always been bad etc
