Only time will tell; however, currently we are not in the bottom four, and six points over Christmas will kick start the season; hold your nerve and get behind the boys; ffs we have had two promotions in two seasons, whats not to like ? I would say I am not convinced by WAQ, who has gone missing in recent weeks, I would like him to come out and stop making failed promises about training grounds and stadiums and talk about investment in the team. UTG Obviously since the post there has been developments on the Training ground front but how could you call.it failed before when we were awaiting a planning decision? If you want to criticisw WAQ and the board fine, but at least do it with a coherent argument My coherent argument is stop ******** moaning and get behind DC and the boys. One thing is for sure WAQ is not as chopsey or as visible as he was back in March, lets hope he sticks his hand in his pocket and backs DC in the January transfer window.Training ground, no training ground ffs, this "will he wont he" ********* has been going on since we left eastville back in 86, what happens between December and next May on the pitch is whats important, not arguing with a bunch of NIMBYs over in Almondsbury.

We say that every year though. Eventually the infrastructure has to change otherwise we will never survive any higher than we are now.

The way Darrel goes about it, we won't get 3 points tomorrow. So how did he pull of two promotions and get us to upto 6th earlier in the season, just by drawing games? We've had a few poor results recently but the way fans have turned on DC/Wael and the players is a bit of a shocker. Very small minority are the doubters though. I guess these people thought we would continue to climb the leagues to no end after we were in the playoffs for while back in November. Probably sort of people that panic buy bottles of water when a heatwave warning/hose pipe ban is issued. They are clearly overreacting. A time to step back and be a bit realistic. People sit tight, let us see what January has to give us, a big month is ahead of us, but be calm. We are 12th in league one 9 from relegation spots, 5 from playoffs.

That's a bit rich from somebody whose spent all year moaning! I'd say what happens off the pitch in the next 6 months is more important than on the pitch, as even if the unthinkable happened and we were relegated we could always bounce back but if the UWE plans die w/o a decent alternative plan we may never get a new ground, and the club will always remain a lower league club.

i cant prove it steve192 but why oh why did we get 6 players on loan who have played hardly any league games and moore and hartley on permanent,hartley has struggled in league 1 before,moore was signed but why? dc clearly dosnt rate him. we so needed to sign a couple of experienced league 1 players to back our promotion squad but we didnt and wael has to take part of the blame because the players we need right now are expensive. its been a mess this season,too many formations,changes and no new players improving the team ,if none of the new players joined the club i bet we would be no lower in the league than we are now and wael has to take some of the blame in my view. as long as we dont get relegated its fine wael and dc can take stock and improve the strategy . How the hell can it be Wael's fault that we didn't sign any experienced League 1 players? DC and his staff find potential targets and then the owner backs them. Do you honestly expect Wael to go over DC'S head and just sign some players he thinks will help? That's the kind of thing Cellino at Leeds would do. i dont think dc had the money to sign better players,very simple really,so he tried other means like hoping 5 youngsters will be ok.

DC's said Wael's always backed him when it comes to transfer targets, so either he's lying (why would he?) or he hasn't set his sights high enough as far as you are concerned.

Given that the wages of youngsters on loan from big clubs to small clubs like Rovers have their wages covered, this may be the route Darrel has taken considering the extra season given on the squads contracts for the promotion. Couple in the consolidation in this higher division and Januarys transfer window in case the plan fails, all this adds up to a summer clearout and a chance to assemble a squad able to challenge a promotion push next season or after. Just a thought of course but a touch more realistic than some other guesswork on here.

Maybe Darrell didn't want to blow all his budget or maybe he thought that we would be good enough with the signings we've got. To be fair apart from the last 7 or so games we can't complain with the results. To me it seems you're stirring the pot saying Wael has undermined DC with not much to back it up.

Your taking the p suggesting I'm outraged? I just think you're coming across as the forum clown lately with some of the threads you've started,nobody is saying we don't need some quality signings in January but that's not what your OP was all about.

DC said in the summer that he wanted to make "3 or 4 quality signings", we talked about this back in August,check our posts from August 26th, you have changed your mind now ( nothing wrong with that) I havent changed my mind though,Rovers need some quality signings,however none of us know the funds available to DC

Oh god the baseless bollocks continues. DC obviously told you personally what your posting? No let's be honest the fact is that DC totally disagrees with the bollocks you are posting. Kep digging your hole, I'm a persistent person but you've taken it to another level

I truly believe that without Wael (or a different takeover) we wouldn't have a club to bitch about (sorry I meant support). I couldn't see us paying back the Wonga loan. So, we've had the bonus of two promotions and sit 12th in L1. We've been on a poor run, and need to sort out what going wrong, but the alternative (no BRFC) should put this into perspective.

How about developing the MEM and investing in the team; maybe I would rather see the team progress rather than get relegated every two seasons and this club will never die. If that is moaning then fine; I'd say it was a different positive opinion. Get behind DC, or he will be off, then we would be back to square one and probably facing relegation, IMO.

Money doesnt grow on trees. We are working on the/a stadium project. We appear to be actually pushing forward with the training ground.
Yes we need some on field changes, but the manager has said this, but nothing can happen to January
In the meantime it's Christmas Day. Smile

DC has said we've a budget in the bottom 8. Probably due to FFP given how much is being spent on the training ground, and trying to rescue the UWE deal. Ever wonder if some people don't like losing their special status where board members and their cronies would drip feed gossip? That happens less now that the professionals are here. The costs relating to both the training ground and the UWE are written down to Dwayne Sports and not our team budget. The FFP budget is basically (but not exclusively) about wages of players and management.
