There lies the problem, he kept telling the punters that not winning a race on a good horse was none of his fault but keep the faith and one day he would win the Fruit Market Derby. Nice guys never come first.

You get the feeling that Rovers are the right horse but for the past eight years they have had the wrong jockey riding it. But the jockey had a stake in the horse and kept convincing the majority owners he was the right jockey and they believed him,its cost a lot of money to keep that horse in training with only that jockey allowed to ride it without winning a race.

Maybe its a surcharge due the 1500 less season tickets sold so far as revealed by the nice man who deals with ticket problems in the club shop.

Just read it, its embarrassing, especially the Finley grovel. Does he stand outside the players entrance with his autograph book in complete awe of players. You get the feeling that things at the club are slipping away from him and he's finding it difficult to come to terms with it.

If true this is very sad news, the entire club is toxic lacking in discipline from top to bottom.Taylor has promised the retained list on Tuesday so he can start there and be ruthless and clear out the dross and bad eggs. The Al Saeeds need also to get to grips with running a business properly and appoint a proper managing director to run the entire operation and regain control of all the outsourced elements set in place by a numerate illiterate.

It will be interesting to see whether our former owner child like follows any intended whispered summer signing by immediately following that player on Instagram and giving the game away. The manager should be warned about this football selfie collector,he is unlikely ever to come across anything like it before.

I think rocket man would have other ideas of what to do with him and it wouldn't be time in a gulag.

You do get the feeling he's using the President of BRFC as a football senior administrator credential to enter into a new football role in the middle east region with the backing of a world wide football agency. He has been busy speaking at recent regional football conferences in Eygpt. I'm sure the Al Saeeds will be encouraging him to make this new career step forward.

I see the holding company Bristol Rovers 1883 Ltd accounts still haven't been filed at Companies House and are shown as overdue fifteen days late so far. Why the delay and what are they frightened of, of course they won't be as abbreviated as BRFC Ltd accounts and probably will reveal a few more little jaffas like the furniture lease back deal.

I couldn't agree with you more, the man has done enough already to breach his existing contract and any half decent lawyer could get shot of him in the flick of a light switch. The problem is he is one part of a mutual admiration society and if that one part isn't strong enough to protect its own commercial interests then the maverick unstable attacks on present employees and former staff will continue until the end of January 2025. In fact it will probably get worse.

Perhaps the overdue year end 2023 accounts will give us all a better clue.

An old arab proverb says its better to have a thousand enemies outside the tent than one inside. In Rovers case there are three undermining the club and present mananger, one is orchestrating everything the other two are divisive and weak followers.The Al Saeeds must be aware of this and back their man with a complete spring clear out from top to bottom at the club.

Not forgetting regularly visited clients in Qatar and time at McClaren advising Ron Dennis.

And ask them at the same time if the narrative in a set of accounts is incorrect and misleading even though signed off by a director of the club not once but twice in the last two sets of filed accounts should be resubmitted at Companies House. Sheffield Wednesday had to do that last year following a similar error and made a public apology. It appears corporate governance doesn't exit at the club and no one understands what's required.

He's probably seen the accounts year end 2023 and realised his exposure as a director.That's as good a personal reason as any.

Now this is getting confusing, didn't Abdullatif last night say the loan was £3 million due to extra costs incurred by penal payments that had to be made to BCC following the reckless approach to the south stand planning. Or has the club had to make up and pay the difference.

I have never understood high networth individuals, they all seem to have pimps doing their bidding on their behalf. Is it a well paid job as a pimp or is just living like a wealthy person for a day and being a Walter Mitty for 24 hours.

Ah and the legacy our man will leave Rovers with will not be the Long and Winding Road but the man who appointed Joey B***** manager of Bristol Rovers engraved in the history of the club never to be forgotten. Now that is a real legacy.

It will be a bigger problem if Mr Hussain Al Saeed still thinks the Quarters redevelopment comes under the umbrella of Bristol City Council planning officers.Does anyone know anything about the running of the club from within or even proof read club statements like the open letter before publishing it. It doesn't fill you with much confidence heading forward does it.
