Yes halifax, I suppose that means selling Alfie Kilgour! 😀 UTG! I'm sure that's exactly what he means. We've always been a selling club, and until the situation with the new ground and training ground are sorted out, we will always be one. I thought it was reassuring that the current owners will support us through this crisis, as there will be clubs around the country who won't survive this mess. Indeed, and I'd also say that even if we do eventually get a new stadium, we'll still be a selling club, just like every other club in the world aside from a select few (Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern etc). The difference will be how much we can demand for our players when we sell.

Or a cynical once a year load of old bollocks just in time for season ticket sales. Somehow, I agree with you both 🤔

What, who? Don't remember him? how much did we sell him for? I was the same Halifax but I do know something, not as much as KWP. I don’t know if that is a song title or not. She is a very talented singer from Leeds whose debut album went to No.1 and her second did very well as well, No 1 or 2. I’ve never heard her music but I listened to a programme on Radio 4 last Autumn when she was doing a half hour travelogue around Leeds and the important places in her growing up. It was a good listen. Clearly an articulate young lady who is very grounded after a tragic event in her life (her first husband dying). UTG!

Thanks aghast, you’re right, great song. But somehow I have missed it so thanks for the track. UTG!

Nice sentiment from Wael, it's all what we want to hear, but the proof is always in the pudding and there's no evidence of progress regards off the field projects.
Worried that with 24 Million of debt, the rug could be pulled when least expecting.

Yes Wael come out and speak when you want us to spend money,I thought the club was fecked unless we got a new stadium etc didn’t you say? You got a great excuse now with CV too take us under and you will shy away from any blame. Great statement but you can’t pull the wool over all our eyes 👀 were watching you Waely Next statement from Wael this time next season if we still exist.

I just hope, Waq really means and delivers on what he has set out in what would appear to be a very heart felt summary of the here & now as well as the future. I also hope he does improve his communication with the supporters and begins to particularly be more open on his veiled plan around progressing both a training ground & new stadium.
However, my head tells me, in two months time it will be business as usual and we will continue hear nothing, while Waq remains holed up in in his Kensington homestead.

Pretty sure he responded to the results not the season tickets going on sale, if he wanted to "take us under" why his he bothering to pay the non playing staff when he could have easily done what Barnet did and save himself a few thousand? I've never been a rose tinter but negative brigade must be making Wael wonder sometimes why he his bothering to keep Rovers alive.

Sounds like the story about the criminal mastermind who plied his skill so well he once stole the crown jewels from the tower of London and put them back again without anyone even noticing..

An ex-Rovers director seems to be substantiating that rumour on the other forum, if it's true then did they jump ship after 24 hours or were they pushed?

"We want better communication" *get better communication* "That communication isn't good enough!" Communication is a two way street, not just a statement saying don’t worry the 24 million is under control. I think supporters have the right to ask how exactly this is under control. This sort of occasional random statement and pre recorded interviews has been going on for 2 years now. What’s happened to the Fruit Market site? Last August we were on the verge of planning. No wonder we were so far down the bloody football league engagement survey.

And with all the sh** going on it means we are going to never get a new stadium even more. If that makes sense.
