Rovers Chairman Steve Hamer in the studio with 20 man tonight. Time for some searching questions but as they say in the song there are more questions than answers !

We don't collect stamps according to SH. All funds received for Taylor, Harrison, Bodin and Gafney already spent. DC is safe in his job. No process in place to buy Club. Rumours are wide of the mark. Training ground has no development and bought we good intent will be a training ground one day ok to train at current training ground till April 2020. Money may be found to bring in new signings in January.

Frightening interview.
No light at end of tunnel.
Bleak.

Quote of the night,'Some people say we communicate too much'. ( Also, bit worrying to hear players have to collect fox faeces prior to training.)

It was pure subterfuge for 20 minutes.
GT kept throwing in words like "plan, information, communication" in a desperate plea for clarity.
Steve threw back several metaphors to avoid straight answers.
Ping-pong of question : metaphor.
The best news of the last 24 hours is that Nino Firetto is following me on Twitter. Yes, that really is the best news that I can offer.

Bleak is the word.
I don't think he dodged the questions. There has been no progress on anything off the field and isn't likely to be for the forseeable.
No energy, no oomph, no vision. Hamer sounds as despondent as the rest of us and only only made token half hearted efforts to defend it.
Don't know where we go from here.

I really do think there should be a City version of the program called Having A sh1t

One man can save us from Armageddon if Marvin Rees let’s the owners know they won’t get planning permission for housing on the mem site completely alters what they can get for the club they are trying to sell but are asking for a ridiculous amount (25 million ?) I’m still waiting to hear from Hamers legal team for calling him out about previous bulls**t hope he hurry’s up my solicitor is retiring in five years

Fair play to 20-man. No holds barred there.

Simple point re question raised regarding poor communication... Why do we find out on the radio that we're still training at Cribbs till at least 2020? Surely that could have been communicated when the extended deal was actually done?

Did not listen but based on comment earlier, Did he say, we could stay at Cribbs till 2020 Or, we will train there till 2020 as train ground not going to be ready?

I picked Hamer as a waste of space from day one. I remember googling his name on the day of the takeover and reading how Swansea fans couldn't wait to see the back of him. Well that chicken's well and truly come home to roost now by the sounds of it. Mind you, look what happened to Swansea as soon as he left them. Maybe there's something good to come out of it all if we can get rid.
Have to admit that Wael had me sucked in though. Found him very believable and measured (right up until he went into hiding). Disappointed in that one to say the least.

Hamer said there is no takeover action and it has all been made up. I'm thinking there are 3 choices; - it has been happening but he doesn't know
- it hasn't been happening and he's telling it straight (which aligns with what somebody put on here after speaking with him I think)
- he is being enormously (per Alan Clarke, not the Leeds Utd one) 'economical with the actualite'
my money is on the third of those. What's your guess?

I find it hard to blame him as this isn't a situation of his making and he clearly doesn't know a great deal about many of the things that are going on. Please stop putting him on the radio. Wael should be doing this and setting out his vision and a plan for how it will be achieved. As there isn't a plan, he should put the club up for sale immediately and confirm they will continue as custodians of the club until a buyer can be found. Seeing as this is where we probably are anyway some honesty about the situation might at least give some glimmer hope, indefinite stagnation and decline doesn't sound like fun.
