Buy the Bristol Post.... Or go to the Rovers website... So you can't remember who they are. Fair enough. Must have really made an impression. I can remember them, I'm just not at your beck and call.

Why, its more fun letting you wallow... 7 signings already another 2 or 3 on the way, probably this or next week.. And still looking for more. On paper they seem reasonable signings, but will judge towards the end of October. So until then, what's to complain about, except maybe need an experienced striker sooner than later. Thank you Mr Holmes. What are the highlights of the seven new signings? I agree on experienced proven striker, but the lack of goals last season was lack of creating more than half chances, not huge lack of conversion. You need to look at the stats Mr Bus. We created more chances than many, and Westbrook was in the top 10 chance providers would you believe (I didn't, but true). If we had an average forward line conversion rate we would of stayed up.

Now that is brilliant... TWD, what I can do is send you directions to Trashton if you need them.

Says the guy who cant be bothered to look up our own new signings - But can be bothered to ring up up Ashton Gate about season tickets so as to be able to have a whinge about Gorringe Brilliant! Pure deflection. Had Rovers have allowed customers to purchase tickets to events that had not yet commenced then that situation wouldn't have occurred, would it. Can't even say that it was a nice attempt at spinning the poor decision of Gorringe around to make it appear that somehow I'm in the wrong for exposing it, because it wasn't a good attempt at all. I guess that the question should be, do we want to continue to do what we already do better than 1982, then also copy anything that they do which could improve our club, or do we want to accept dire decision making which reduces income and allows the gap between the two clubs to grow further. You've nailed your colours to the 'let's let the gap grow as long as we are supporting a club employee who is demonstrably doing the wrong thing' side of the argument, I want Rovers to be as well run as possible, so I'm on the opposite side of this to you it seems.

Not deflection at all. You freely admitted some time ago that you missed a Season Ticket deadline because the dates changed from previous administration. You didn't read the comms (a bit like you not reading the comms on our new signings) so you missed the boat. You freely admitted then calling Ashton Gate to see if they were still accepting season ticket applications, which Rovers were not. You then blamed Gorringe for pulling the plug. So to be clear. You missed the deadline. For that you blame Gorringe. Its quite clear. Think there is only one person deflecting People can trace it back from an old thread if they have nothing better to do

To my knowledge prior to the arrival of Gorringe Rovers had never refused to sell a season ticket before the end of the day before the normal ticket deadline for the first home game. So, by your rather strange logic, for the last attended season we should have stopped selling tickets entirely when the very first deadline was reached. But we didn't, did we. How were supporters to know that the person running the commercial department would be so daft as to have a customer in his shop wanting to buy a ticket for a future event and that he would be willing to refuse to take the money? Next.

Okay. Steering it back from horsin’ around to the thread header. What has put the great into Joey’s Great Reset? What are the highlights so far. There is always a danger in using hyberbolic phrases like "The Great Reset", but I would suggest that there have been numerous changes to playing and backroom staff that will lead to a major change in approach.
For those that are actually interested, here is a list of the playing staff outs and ins so far: Out Goal Keepers Jordi van Stappershoef Alexis Andre Jr
Defenders George Williams David Tutonda Max Ehmer Luke Leahy Tom Davies Josh Hare Mark Little Michael Kelly Ali Koiki
Midfielders Ed Upson Abu Ogogo Liam Armstrong Kyle Bennett
Forwards James Daly
In Goal Keepers None yet
Defenders Nick Anderton Mark Hughes Connor Taylor
Midfielders Paul Coutts Sam Finley Sion Spence (tbc)
Forwards Harvey Saunders Aaron Collins Luke Thomas (tbc) Of the 16 outs, B***** only publicly wanted to keep one (Leahy), so culling 15 other players from the squad is pretty ruthless, but not unexpected.
I'm not going to pass comment on the players coming in until I've seen them play for Rovers, suffice to say there are some useful looking signings amongst the list.
I hope it all works out.

Or have we learned from past mistakes and will there only be one this year? BTW, as you are offering to do my research for me, make a list of those new signings, where they've come from, their ages, career history, all that sort of stuff will you please?

Thanks curlywurly, I was losing track... Anyone know who actually uttered the phrase "The Great Reset"?

"There are many issues at this club and it’s my job to address that," B***** said. "I’ve just come out of a discussion with the owner and CEO there and we were saying we’ve just got to keep everybody upbeat and positive, I’ve been brought in here for the great reset."

Wasn’t Ben Garner Wael’s first reset? The great reset (B*****’s phrase) must mean both Wael and B***** have a joint plan for the football club. I’d like to know if their is a specific end goal and what that would mean (for both).

Forwards Harvey Saunders: Darlington, Hartlepool, Fleetwood. Aaron Collins: Colchester, Morecambe, Forest Green Rovers Luke Thomas (tbc): Leicester City So we may have a Spence & Saunders partnership? Most of our new signings have olde British sounding surnames which is the exact opposite strategy I used when I played football manager. Will Joeybag sign a Tonton Zola Mokouko or a Kurniawan Dwi Yulianto?

Aaron Collins: Forest Green Rovers, Colchester, Morecambe, Luke Thomas (tbc): Leicester City Add Defender Trevor Clarke:Rotherham Utd, Shamrock Rovers
Sion Spence is confirmed - I think he had 14 games for Barry Town before joining Cardiff.
Luke Thomas is still to be confirmed, but this should read - Ipswich (loan) Barnsley, Coventry City (loan from Derby)

I think 'the reset' might be more than enough to cover it at this stage
