Academies are pointless, cost far too much to run, far better off spending the money on decent scouts

I did make the point on this thread about eighteen months ago that the FM plan was failing due to the unfavourable terms being offered on the Mem site but the pressure was on to move out because of the clubs perilous financial position. This stemming from the family’s unwillingness to sign an open cheque. Now Wael has complete autonomy I believe he feels less pressure to make decisions that may save money in the short term but don’t take into account the clubs long term security. Have you got a link to your post as I can't recall reading your post or it ever being discussed on this thread? great memory Topper👍🏽

We may well regret letting Liam Armstrong go if jedward does get poached. That would just leave us with injury prone veteran Anssi Anssi is still better than anything we have! Half fit

My friend runs his business and is therefore is one of the shareholders of the site, spoke to him yesterday, it will happen, its all agreed just waiting for a meeting to confirm the selling of the fruit market. Blessings to all gasheads everywhere. ive been listening to this hear say, for 40 years! Excuse scepticism. But I won’t believe a single word, until I’m actually sat in a new seat.

Genuine question to those who back him. Ignoring the negatives about results, relegation, reputation, negative press conferences, criticism of predecessors etc etc. We've been over all that. I'm genuinely mystified why people think he's the new Messiah. So, listing positives only, if possible, what has he done for the club? Not what he might do. Anyone in theory could be a good manager. It's a science, an art and a bit of luck. What has he done to date which is positive and helps the club going forwards? 🥱

I hope he’s soo successful, he’s here for 10 years! Just to annoy the haters! It’s a very sad way to live your life’s, wanting someone to fail. Wasted energy. UTG I think you are wrong. I would be happy for him to be here for 10 years under those circumstances. We would be in Europe before the Sh1!heads! I don't think that there are many (if any) JB haters hoping he will fail. I think we are hoping that he will succeed and that success will allow him to stay away from saying/doing stupid sh**. No, just hoping he’s locked up. Don’t know what’s worse?

He definitely applied, but whether or not he got picked is a different matter. They normally have a semi pro who calls themselves a pro on there. Do we count Andre as a pro... A pro at cringey selfie pics and videos. your a pro at cringey posts🤣

Did I hear him right when he said we need to review our recruitment process? Yes. He said we need to review it and then that the manager should choose the players but then that they always have. Work that one out. To me, thats covering for fellow board member Widdrington and hanging BG out to dry basically. Either way at least manager gets more say next time even if it is Barton. I hope his recruitment is better than he has demonstrated his leadership skills to be. i think his leadership has been spot on! Your either on the bus, or f**k off. About time we had someone, with the balls to say it.

Unless there are wholesale changes to the squad, we will be relegated again next year. Unfortunately, most are contracted to be with us next season. on the plus side 👍🏽

Can’t wait for Barton to implement his style and vision 💯 on our club. I personally think there will be good times ahead. UTG

It’s a lot better than listening to the boring mundane commentary of Radio Bristol, but that’s not hard is it?

I would personally, get rid of every player! Dam water poor all season. Like Joey said, collectively, there losers. We don’t need any of those in our side next year.

To a degree I do agree with you. We have to get our house in order and arrest the decline on the pitch very quickly. That is absolutely essential. However, why can we not address the football side and also show ambition on the stadium/infrastructure side simultaneously? Your argument seems flawed to me as well, as without the right infrastructure in place, which means new stadium with regular income streams (regardless of capacity) we will only have a ceiling as a midtable L1 club. That is our ceiling right now. To compete at the upper end of L1 and to even contemplate getting to the Championship and actually staying there for a few years, we need a new stadium. Without it, we can't compete other than perhaps a flash in the pan like Wycombe and Burton, neither of which are realistically capable of sustaining that level. I’d love it if it made some kind of sense but now is totally the wrong time, does anyone move into a bigger house, with a massive new mortgage when they’ve just taken a demotion? Of course they don’t! When we are on the up is the time to look at a new stadium and even then I very much doubt we can’t do at least as much as we need by redeveloping the Mem a la Ashton Gate. that sounds very idyllic, but unfortunately Bristol Rovers dont fall into the category, it would be lovely to have a decent season! Oh by the way, let’s start building now.
