He's already had a trial 2 weeks before the end of the season. Was Speaking to someone who knows him well and said the Training at Rovers was Embarrassing and it was more intense at Chippenham! Said they stood around and did rondo's for over 1/2 an hour and then a few passing drills and a small sided game! He didn't come back! That's all they did in two weeks 😂, sounds believable!! When was this trial supposed to have been?? At professional clubs they do different type of training, depending on what time of the season and how many games they are playing at the time. At semi pro level, they only train a free times a week. So it has to be intensive a lot of the time. Unless Taylor's training has changed a lot during his Exeter days, I highly doubt that's all they do at training. His teams are normally physically fit, well drilled and know what they are doing. I've heard good things about what Exeter used to do.

If that is the standard of training, No wonder the players looked disinterested and we were so sh*t the second half the season breaking unwanted records for games without scoring. View AttachmentIt has to be true, as it's on here 😂. Has he even had a trial here?? It's not been mentioned anywhere. If he had a trial, when was it??

Because he's spent more😂. If he wasn't spending, you would be moaning then. It's only an issue if they walk away and want the money back. Same at nearly every club! While Exeter City have posted a profit despite a £1m wage rise, all of this on the back of a fully redeveloped St James' Park in their 20 years of Fan Ownership. So one club then😂. I bet their budget is still a lot less than ours. So you would be happy if we cut ours you the same, to make a profit? Plus they only made a profit as they made £1.4 million on transfers. That does not happen every season. Some of that was down to Taylor, who most slate on here😂

We are in League 1. So clubs in League 2 and a not in League 1 are run worse or similar to us. Since Wael came in, we have spent 1 season in League 2. The rest of the time we have been in League 1. Compare that with the same period before he came in. So as I said, we could do better, but we could do a not worse and we are probably doing as we should be! You can see the long term plans. Improve the stadium, training facilities, bring in young players to develop. Higgs was so desperate to sign a bad deal to try and get a stadium, everything else was neglected. Even simple things like a better club shop, newer facilities in the toilets, better bar areas etc are taken for granted. None of that was even looked at under Higgs. To say they were similar is rubbish, just because Higgs signed a bad deal. Wael could have agreed to those terms. But you would soon be moaning about that, if we were losing money😂We are... We've posted record losses for three out of the seven seasons he owned the club. Because he's spent more😂. If he wasn't spending, you would be moaning then. It's only an issue if they walk away and want the money back. Same at nearly every club!

Other clubs like Wigan and Reading??? You've mentioned 2 out of the 120+ professional clubs in the UK that are run worse than us. We are in League 1. So clubs in League 2 and a not in League 1 are run worse or similar to us. Since Wael came in, we have spent 1 season in League 2. The rest of the time we have been in League 1. Compare that with the same period before he came in. So as I said, we could do better, but we could do a not worse and we are probably doing as we should be! You can see the long term plans.

Anyone can sign a bad deal. Higgs also took us to non league and Wael hasn't. They're both rubbish. I look at other clubs, we've stank out the place this century. Other clubs like Wigan and Reading???

.... and he achieved something which Higgs didn't. Higgs brokered a deal for a stadium site, something WAQ didn't. 1-1 Anyone can sign a bad deal. Higgs also took us to non league and Wael hasn't.

Such as? I don't really understand why there is such hatred of him and TG on a personal level. Disagreeing on and critiquing what they do is one thing, but it's crossing a line for me. They're both useless. Christ, they released a video for a new stadium that they had no plans for, no agreement on, nothing. They're both beyond parody at this point. Absolute bozos. Things could be better, but they could also be worse. It's not just the South stand. We have better training facilities and are looking to improve them further, the budget is bigger than it used to be and we have comfortably stayed up in league 1 for two seasons. Look at where we were the years ago!

Surely it can’t be long until we get to see the plans ? I’m sure we were told it was a couple of weeks away and that was about 3 weeks ago ! 😂 We could def do with hearing a bit of good news after what seems like many weeks of misery. I think he said the plans would be finished then, but they wouldn't show fans. They said they would take them to the council and relevant people and make amendments before showing them. So I didn't think we will see anything soon.

Just reading about Birmingham City's new stadium, the overall cost is £2B/£3B and they hope to be playing their in 5 years time, what's the betting our refurbished East Stand takes just as long and costs 10p in comparison. I wonder if they still think they need a 62,000 seater stadium, now they are in League 1 😂.

This time of the year is one of the most boring for us fans. Nothing will really get going on the transfer front for at least a month and most rumours will be far off the mark. At least we will have the Euro's this year. I keep thinking I will try not to think about Rovers for now, as we know it's going to be quiet. But then I still check this site and others about ten times a day😂

He wouldn't be here this time next year if we were in a relegation battle. So that's the first rumor that is rubbish. There will be plenty of rubbish rumors over the summer😂 Why would he not be here? He would be sacked if we are near the bottom way before then, like any manager would at the majority of clubs. Hopefully he will still be here, as that will mean we are doing okay. But there is no way he would be here this time next year if we were relegated.

I think the only players we have been linked with are the ex Exeter players. I expect a lot of players are waiting to see what happens in the play offs and stuff at the moment.

With our catchment area and potential fanbase in one of the biggest cities in England, we should always be a target of people looking to get involved in owning a club. Our options were obviously limited last time around with Wael wanting to stay involved. He mentioned turning down several interested parties before the Al Saeeds got involved, I wonder who they were? I read about this earlier. It will be interesting to see what happens. We all know not all owners do what I'm they say. Certainly getting harder all the time.

Antony is a tremendous player "as we sing he's Joey Bartons man" Joey brought both Antony and Jordi to the club, both imo should be playing in at least the Championship; Rovers have never been able to convince one player to stay and ply his trade at the club, I would be pleasantly surprised if monotone can convince our current pair of players of any note that they should stay long term at Camp MEM. Finally all those Joey haters have got what they wanted, a Joey free zone; I just hope all those who have been saying "we've got our Rovers back" are happy with their new hand of cards, and we can now all, as always, move on bouncing along the bottom of division 1. UTG When any manager makes that many signings, some will be good and some will be bad. He also tied up a lot of the budget on players on championship wages that hardly played. Friend, Hunt, Ward etc. But you're not going to mention that. He's gone, stop crying and get behind the current manager. If he fails he will go, but until then we should support him.
