£160 saved on iFollow alone Will you be putting that towards the £1000 season ticket surcharge ?

What is it now, L11 D2 W3? PPG 0.6875. It's laughable that anybody could even consider having this clown in charge with our League status at stake. Imagine what it might have been if they hadn't had 'the right group of players' at their disposal!

Imagine what it might have been if they hadn't had 'the right group of players' at their disposal! Could have been humiliating, with records set for new number of home defeats and longest time without a striker scoring a goal. Someone needs to get Wael to sit down, shut up and listen whilst some home truths are explained to him about what he's done to our club.

Unfortunately, that job would appear to have been given to Mr B*****. We are a joke of a once proud Football Club.

BBC have attributed this soundbite to Punchy, So, despite him saying that he was '100%' sure that there was enough in the squad to avoid relegation, then seeing us fall from having not been in a relegation position when he arrived to going into freefall and ending up a pathetic bottom, not a single tiny bit of the blame sits with him. If this alone isn't enough of a warning that he needs to go then we are sunk without hope.

I wonder how many season tickets we'll shift? I don’t think you are alone epping but if you only read the forums and the Sam Frost columns you could easily conclude that most fans truly think B***** is sincere and is capable of rebuilding Rovers once he’s finished knocking it down. Today I’ve spoken to a Rovers fan in his 30’s who’s Dad was a good friend of mine and fully expected him to be very pro B***** and in the group which still thinks Wael is unlucky rather than incompetent. I was very surprised at the anger he felt about what has gone on at Rovers and found myself in the unlikely position of having to partially defend Wael. Need to go for a lie down now !

Wael stands exposed today. Equity in stadium lost. UWE lost. League 1 status lost. Dignity of our club lost. How can we possibly get here with an owner who apparently moved in the corridors of power in world football and had some kind of influence on the global stage in the Women's game and wasn't exactly shy about letting people know who he supported in the FIFA presidential election?

I suspect Wael started off being star struck by B***** and now is being bullied by him Maybe, but we do seem to have come a long way from selfies with World Cup winners and name dropping about FIFA or UEFA or whatever it was, to having a lout as manager and being rock bottom of the division. And having lost colossal sums of money on the journey.

And having lost colossal sums of money on the journey. You sense his wife, & Hani, must be thinking along the same lines, how long can Wael keep throwing money away on just a vanity project before he decides he's had enough? As far as B*****, you do have question whether he's got it in him to turn the club around this summer as the players presently at the club clearly won't play for him. Anyway it looks like B*****, the manager who took us down, has carried out his own review and decided it's everybody's fault apart from his, this could only happen at Rovers www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/joey-B*****-bristol-rovers-wael-5361299

Wael stands exposed today. - no he does not. I believe the vast majority are behind him. Equity in stadium lost. - Equity is still there, but yes we need to become sustainable UWE lost. - we pulled out, not lost. Not saying it would have been but could have been a Coventry situation. League 1 status lost. - at last something factual. Very disappointing, but here's to us bouncing back. Dignity of our club lost. - absolute rubbish. Please explain why, and if its the usual JB thing other than being a little outspoken about our playing squad, he done nothing during his tenure to be concerned about. Let's see where we are in years time. I don't believe he's the messiah, but will be interesting ride, and you never know may just work. If not his football manager reputation will be blown so he has as much skin in the game as us.

If not his football manager reputation will be blown so he has as much skin in the game as us. Good grief. What's the total charge against the stadium and what would that increase to if the losses up until today were added, and how does that relate to the realisable value of the asset? So, UWE is still a possibility, good to hear. Odd that nobody has mentioned it for years. The opportunity is lost. B***** is a lout with a long history of violent behaviour, and a court case hanging over his head relating to assault. Frequently we are now referred to as 'B*****'s Bristol Rovers'. I linked to the comments from supporters around the country on the BBC website when our relegation was confirmed, they weren't complimentary, most of the unpleasant stuff was directed towards B*****. Having him here has dragged the name of our club into the gutter. As a manager all he's done here is turn 1 point per game into 0.65 points per game, and made certain that we were relegated. Of course it's possible that he could do better next season, but there's zero evidence to suggest that he's more likely to do any better in L2 than he's done here this season.

I have tried discussing the points with you, but all you do is twist, such as "UWE is still a possibility", who said that? Also you quote facts which you have no evidence for. I have learnt from 60 years of experience that there are some people you cannot have a sensible discussion with. Unfortunately you fall into that category. Take care and up the gas.

Sounds like your definition of 'a sensible discussion' is one held with people who already agree with you. UWE was 'lost' as a potential new home for the club, I think we can agree on that, I don't know why you challenged it. Why not start with the things that I continually say worry me; I can't see where Wael has sufficient income to cover the losses he's running up. We are well over 5 years down the line and we are now relegated and have massive debt, all covered by a charge on the club's home, and I can't see anything happening to change the way that the club is being run which makes me think that this can end anything other than badly for Rovers. So there we go, just 2 points, why should I not worry about those 2 please?
