I am not privvy to that mate but I do know that both Colin and Mike would not have even made the attempt without due diligence given the history between and betwixt them and NH. It speaks volumes to me that NH felt the need to try to belittle them at the Q&A without any question pertaining to them. Colin tried to broker new finance in the Summer and put in a considerable amount of time in doing do. At one stage it was touted that he would step in as chairman in the interim. After being rebuffed,he them never turned his phone on for a good few days. Can you imagine how frustrating it must have been to actually get the deal together to only be dismissed out of hand ? We are not talking about some no mark trying to buy a piece of the club. These are two well connected and successful men who have always had the club at heart. It's a bloody shame that our board see them as hostile Bags So you have no idea whatsoever how much they are or were willing to put in to implement this? Your loyalty is to be commended. I'm sure if the running costs of this club were put to your "band of brothers" you might see them disappear and leave you as a lone supporter faster than you could imagine. I've asked, heard, and now I shall leave it at this. Up the Gas!!!

The only reason they did not get the opportunity is the continued war from years ago. Why even ask Colin to put it together ? Come on Bags, you have to look deeper but that is down to you. I don't have the figures because they are not personal friends but others may well have them. I am no part of any brotherhood as you imply but I just ask questions, this is never seen as good at our club and is treated as hostile. This had gone beyond any personal crap, we really do need to galvanise our fanbase. Right now it could not be anymore fractured. Who is to blame for that and why ? Ask those questions and you too will be very unhappy at the continual pi55 poor mistreatment and ostracising of certain people. The irony is that now the pariah is not the group who tried to change things

I don’t know if that is a good idea or not, Mike Turl has commitments elsewhere and would he even want to come back.
Colin would do anything for Rovers and it appears has been trying (despite no direct involvement in the club and whatever happened in the past) but that doesn’t appear to have led anywhere for one reason or another.

You never know what might change now things have changed a little. We could do with fresh input.

Post by Mancgas has left the building on Aug 22, 2014 13:51:27 GMT
what I still dont get is why people talk about the need to fund our losses - funding losses got us into the Conference ffs
So many teams who are in the league above us dont fund losses, they just live within their means, and those means are in some cases 25% of the means we had.
Sure they struggle to stay in the Football League at times , but having no one to pay of debts year on year means they are more creative with signings, building relationships with league clubs to get loans etc.
But oh silly me I forgot we are a big club
Also a visit to specsavers is required, so much of what is suggested requires little or no money so please explain how doing just the free ideas from this document would make us a worse club?
Finally, I dont think anyone thinks this is the solution for 2014, although some of the ideas are not time limited, they could be done now, back then or in 2099.
But seriously don't you think it would have been a good idea for the comprehensive review conducted by the Board since May to have something changeableto release to fans to show an understanding of the issues and a way forward.
If not I assume you are happy with Mr Higgs, "We had a review and the problem is simple, not enough goals."
