That said, I do think players would be tempted to look at a club's forum and would not be human if they werent influenced in some way.
Where I disagree is that I don't think we are any worse than anyone else, is all.

I think the point is that there is a general perception about Rovers fans (which I happen to agree with) which says that heroes can quickly become villains - I do think that tie-break things like that can influence a player's decision to join, yes. I don't think we are any worse than every other club. Look at how Lambert is still remembered. Campbell got a good reception last week. Many past greats are still very fondly remembered. If it seems we've got worse lately its more a reflection if the poo we've had on offer from the playing staff than it is on us as fans. Not only in terms of skill and effort but also off the field. Sinclair, Parkes, Mansell, Mildy are all going to be well regarded by us. JJOT shot himself in the foot big time, otherwise we would/could have left on much better terms. I was pleasantly surprised SC did get a good reception, or NH even let in the ground given the, it now seems, misconception by some on the forum that he held NH to ransom over both DP & before he finally left for the states.
