Why is there very little good to say about the owners? Perhaps because they know nothing about football and yet are trying to run the thing both on and off the pitch. So far what have they brought us? Slightly bigger stadium with more seats but reduced the crowds significantly by dropping the standard of the football watched and pretty well cut our chances of attacking by selling Collins and not replacing him- that alone makes me doubt their intentions. If they sell Evans that will give them a substantial bit of their money back. Remember as well that Wael brought them in because he could not afford to take us forward. I am yet to be convinced that this new lot wont take us backwards reducing the budget can only lead to tears and if they think you can get to the Championship with lower paid players then pull the other leg. Look at the teams who go up and generally their budget is well above ours.Has Matty Taylor got a son? Perhaps if he has he should bring him in to select the team because that is what the owner has done. A toy for his son but when will he throw the toys out of the pram? I always find the toy for the son thing funny like we've not been a club of nepotism for 30+ years. |

I think they are looking for a quick return on the club. My analogy is, there are two types of property developers: 1) They buy a property, give it a repaint a new bathroom and kitchen then sell it. 2) They buy a property, redesign the way it is being used. Knock some walls down, build extensions and then sell it. We have the first lot. They just want to redecorate and sell at a profit. My concern is that talk is cheap. I wouldn't be surprised if they just end up selling the quarters land for a profit and then removing themselves from the club. I have seen nothing that suggests they have the funds to take us forward, just a link of paint and then sell on. |

I’m of the opinion that our form suffered noticeably when he wasn’t playing, especially at the end of the season. But obviously AS Junior knows a lot more about football than any of us (including MT), so was absolutely dam’ right to offer him less money or whatever . . . I think we will miss him next season. Junior may not know as much about football, as MT but he probably knows more about business. He understands wage budgets and making sure that the right business decision is taken rather than letting the heart rule the head. He understands that we can’t have all that we want and realised that least year we carried a lot of passengers who were sidelined with injuries - and that must stop. Maybe we will miss Sam and MT did want him but that was simply because is a certainty - he knows that when fit he will do a good job. Perhaps Junior has more confidence in George Friend than MT to come up with a younger option who will be part of the future and follow the clubs strategy of going for youth and a more dynamic team. Perhaps MT was asked to choose and he did so and passed the comment that “ I would love to but…..” lots of maybe’s , lots of theories. To be fair to MT, i'm sure that, having managed at Exeter, he understands wage budgets very well, and knows that he needs to get best value when he buys. |

Perhaps Wael brought them as he was running out of money, taking out a loan against the stadium fixtures and fittings was hardly a sign he was awash with money, and the new owners have had to cut costs to try and stop us going into admin? Whilst we'd all love to see owners spending £3m+ of their money on the club each season we all know that's not a viable long term plan. Did Dunford, Higgs or Wael know about running a football club until they became involved with owning Rovers? Having personally heard Abdullatif speak I'm far more impressed with him than either Wael or Hussain Al Saaed, or Higgs! |
