Are you today thinking DC should be removed asap? If so why remove manager number 6 in four seasons set among a drop in two divisions and out of the football league, is this not utter madness to keep pointing at the manager and asking for another change?
Also ponder about why signings are not materialising, is this down the to the manager or the people who are (not) funding the signings.
NH specifically mentioned Colin Williams and Mike Turl have also offered to invest into the FC after being turned away previously, nothing has been said of this recently, why are the club not taking up the offer of desperately needed finance? Does anyone know how much has been offered and on what basis?
Short of the BoD publicly admitting that there is no cash left all of the signs point towards the fact that ''there is no cash left'' so blame can be pointed at the manager and names of people who would want to see the club run professionally and not like a pub team can be banded about all season but if there is no money there to pay him then what is the point in talking about GJ or such like? Finally how many other clubs followed by hundreds of supporters need to beat Bristol Rovers FC before as a fan base we actually pull together and demand change.
Is no one else sick of the line ''Without the board there is no Rovers''? The same board who have no idea of the loyalty of a fantastic fan base who were told by BSS last week that the pasties were low on numbers because we were not expecting such big numbers, this board have no connection to its supporters whatsoever.
IMO this Bod have no grasp of how to run a FC in the modern game, they have shown no gratitude towards its supporters who have continued to pay out money they will never see back for watching years of abject football, the share scheme, roof on the BE, Andy Rammel, the list goes on.
Surely this has to be the time to say enough is enough, stand in the car park on Saturday and refuse to pay to watch the team until we are given assurances that investment is going to be accepted and the very people holding back the FC are removed.
There is more than enough talent and good people at this club to affect change, IMO the time for negotiating with people who only talk when poked has well and truly passed. UTG.

Dinsdale, I agree and it only comes from fan power, how can you be so sure it did not come from NH?

Not sure what is the best course of action, but theres no doubt in my mind action has to be taken sooner rather than later, all the different fractions of support at this club now need to get together as one weather it be groups, forums whatever, were all Rovers and should stand united under one flag if at all possible, therein lies strength and power.

Dinsdale, may I suggest that if you are at the next Q&A you ask him what the offer was towards the club and ask him to be specific about the offer.
It's laughable that he says they do not have the money when the present BoD are putting nothing in, why would they come back with a proposal that involves no money, think about it fella, it makes no sense, and NH's track record in being open with the fans is hardly credible is it...

"the present BoD are putting nothing in" Is not true Where is the investment in quality beyond the ST money being used then, why isn't the Ricky Lambert cash being utilised? Didn't NH say something along the lines of 'we have hit rock bottom' and 'we will be doing everything we can to get us back into the FL at the first attempt'? Struggling to see any signs of that at the moment.

Manager number 6? Trollope Penney Campbell Buckle MCGhee Ward Clarke I think that's 7?
If a manager more qualified than Clarke is stupid enough to take on the job here then perhaps we should go for him!

Struggling to see any signs of that at the moment. As far as I can see, either: - Higgs was lying about the 'competitive budget' to keep fans on side.
- Higgs seriously underestimated the quality (as poor as it may be) of this division and the 'competitive budget' is not enough to be competitive.
- DC has spunked a boatload of money on a poor squad.
- DC has not been able to sign players capable of competing in this league.

Struggling to see any signs of that at the moment. Read the next set of accounts when they get published. The Lambert cash (all £30k of it so far) is part of our budget for this year. Yes the budgets in previous years has been grossly mismanaged which is why we are where we are and why the BoD have had to constantly dig into their pockets to cover the shortfull

Which in itself makes the decision to turn away offers of investment all the more crazy Sean doesn't it?

How would you feel personally if an offer of investment came in tied with a contribution based fan ownership scheme?
There seems to be a theory banded around that this would work very well given the generosity we have shown as supporters.

This time around I really do blame the board, the quicker Rovers become a fan owned club the better!
