I think I've got the solution, it's obvious really. We simply need a bigger and more expensive London office. And we need more expensive senior management hires. DC won't get sacked as all the vitriol will be aimed at Dwane Sports. F*ck off Dwane Sports. F*ck off Dwane Sports. F*ck off Dwane Sports. F*ck off Dwane Sports. F*ck off Dwane Sports. F*ck off Dwane Sports. F*ck off Dwane Sports. And soon.

Just listened to the DC interview. Some people want him to go. Personally I want him to stay. I think we can all agree he is an honest man. And as DC said through the interview - he was very emotional. So no cold calculating comments, just the truth. Two interesting things from that interview I would like to focus on: 1. DC said we've sold £1.5 mil worth of strikers, and spent £0.5mil. That buffoon Hamer said we have spent all the transfer money. WHO DO YOU BELIEVE? 2. DC wants a sit down with the Board to get some answers on where we are going as a football Club and ask if the Board will support him in the January window. I can see DC leaving "by mutual consent" as he will get f*ck all truth or financial backing from the bunch of clowns that purport to have the best interests of our football Club at heart.

Thought DC said that is what was spent on strikers! So both could be correct. Thought Nicholls and Sercombe were greater than .5 mill.

No one can doubt DC honesty and integrity. I think that's why a growing group find it hard to say what they see.
Like I said, he's like family. I don't want him to go because I like DC, but I really think in the best interests of all parties, he does. Based purely on our results. And making same mistakes.
On the note of £1.5mil, maybe everything was spent, just not all on playing staff?

People are surprised DC seems frustrated?!? He needs to get in front of the Board and DEMAND backing. Dwane Sports have been running this Club into the ground ever since the UWE debacle. SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE.

SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE. Indeed and I’m very worried we could be in a very precarious situation because I don’t see WAQ’s father and brothers wanting to continue to lose what they are. I fear the mem being sold. I think it’s a reasonable things to deduce, given the comments about not even liking football by his family. We shall see what happens with DC now. I think he could be called to a meeting that he didn’t expect. Must be very frustrating to have had so many broken targets that he was told would happen and any one of us could feel hard done by if in his shoes

Darrell being made the fall guy by some. Problems at our club are much deeper than our recent results. Darrell deserves our support for as long as he's here but I fear he'll walk as his reputation is being tarnished by being here. Wael, you have let us down and you'll let the best manager we've had in 25 years slip away...you'll not be forgiven

This whole situation is worryingly similar to the position that Hereford United were in before they folded. I was in the middle of that running the Vital Hereford page. Before anybody has a dig I followed both clubs Rovers from birth Hereford from the time we moved there in 1967 and the mighty John Charles was manager. The clowns that took over there behaved in a way that everything and more was promised and nothing delivered. The manager there at that time John Taylor looked haunted by the difficulties he was being expected to overcome, exactly as Darrell looked last night. Darrell was promised state of the art training facilities, a new Stadium, assurances that the team he was building would no longer be constantly dismantled when the vultures come sniffing around the players. He has turned down at least one offer from another club and stayed loyal to us the support, not necessarily those in charge. He just as well piss up the wall and play with the steam as listen to their obvious bulls***. Whoever is running the outfit seem more concerned about ceremonial appointments than delivering the promised forward progression. We have lost 80 goals a season with nothing to replace them, not only that players that were part of the sides backbone. Hamer suggests the money received has been spent, what on???, Prawn Fricking sandwiches ain’t that expensive no matter how many people are being entertained in various hospitality areas. Darrell needs to get in front of them and demand they make good on the promises made before this decay becomes unstoppable. Also watched that Hereford team whilst an RAF Apprentice at Credenhill. Remember when an unknown bloke from Northampton was appointed as assistant to Gary Thomson and he said,'Rovers fans must learn to be patient. Another two-minute wonder, Martin Foyle said much the same. Years later it's, 'Rome wasn't built in a day'.Still patient at 73?? Fast losing it and last night's first half was total garbage.

But I may be wrong and definitely not defending the owners but wasn't everyone including DC moaning about lack of infrastructure at the club and apart from training ground and stadium isn't that what the Al qadis have provided

Feel the collective pain.
I have written today to Steve Hamer with a POSITIVE suggestion on how this situation could be improved. Not my idea, but a model that has worked successfully elsewhere. This model needs agreement from the owners and I have no contact with them. I will try to speak to him tomorrow.
If there is no takeover, we have to help ourselves and everyone needs to be transparent and pulling in the same direction. Please note that DC believed that a takeover was in the offing! He confirmed that last night.
I will speak more openly when I see some of you after Doncaster game on 8th December.
Hopefully DC will still be in charge.

Don't forget the Bing Bong boxes that don't work and don't actually record who is attending, so no pattern can be established of customer activity. Gorringe really is incompetent.

UTG By the tone of his interview last night if he doesn't get concrete evidence of support at this week's meeting he will either walk or goes by mutual agreement

Steve Yates needs to come back. Instead of Marcus Stewart, the striker coach..

To be fair I don't think that DC was complaining about a lack of a "senior management structure" as being his main gripe regarding lack of infrastructure. What does that buffoon Hamer actually do? What is he paid? Someone, please enlighten me. What does the new CEO Martyn Starnes actually do? What is he paid? Is he mute? Do we really need a London office? Is that essential infrastructure? Is it f*ck. "Too many chiefs and not enough indians" is the phrase that springs to mind. 30 'senior' non-playing staff. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Rovers_F.C.#Board_of_directors. It's the veneer of a professional structure. We can see what this FTSE 100 type structure ultimately delivers when Bristol Rovers play things called "football matches". We can now see after 2 1/2 years what this FTSE 100 type structure delivers in terms of physical infrastructure: 1. The embarrassing, and frankly laughable "Family Stand". Paid for by sponsors. 2. An upgrade of the Bars. Paid for by sponsors and now funded by supporters to the tune of £4 a pint. 3. A new shop. 4. Cashless turnstiles. Hoorah for that. Errr... that's about it. What are the plans for the Training Ground? What are the plans for the new Stadium? FFS people, wake up.
