Whatever you think about the content, his responsiveness has been greatly appreciated in 2017 and is beyond exemplary. I don't reveal everything that has been said, but happy to share the headlines. Peter Parker will have a wry smile and justified. Can you say why you won’t reveal everything he said? If he was happy to Tell you (and I assume he doesn’t know you), why won’t you share it? Both DS and Rovers fans need a person that can rell each other everything is ok without having to share confidential information.

The problem with gradually evolving the club is that the rate of growth still needs to be greater than the rate of growth of the game of football and that other other teams.
The performance of the players reflects the attitudes of the men at the top. It’s worrying to hear we had little direction in yesterday’s game but is kind of consistent with the rumours about the owners own non-direction.

I'd just like signs to be hungry, of better immediate ability with room for potential improvement and to fit in with the wider squad. I must say it will be hard for a lot of players at existing clubs who are told they are no longer required, not great timing especially when they have a family to support.

And a complete bellend going by his record Montano didn't have such a great 'record' prior to coming to Rovers. Sometimes people change. Sometimes (often) a record is cultivated by the shameful police and CPS. If DC thinks he's got the character and ability then that's the main thing.

Bagdadi played tonigh in Dorcherster's 4-0 drubbing over Farnborough contributing one goal and three assists. That's now 5 goals and 4 assists in his last two games.

When players appear to be playing below the standard level a good question to ask is whether they would continue that level if under a different coach/team. Sometimes there a mix of motivation, poor tactics and chance which can lead to a player being below par for a temporary period.

What did Taylor expect to happen? Payrise, couple of weeks of light hearted verbals and then all settled down. Its his stupid fault, he will have to put up with it until he moves out if Bristol. I don't consider it acceptable that he gets abuse, but even if I walked past him I'm sure I would give him an uncomfortable glare. Ooh! You bitch! He was right to move, there was little common sense for staying at rovers given the difference in wages. However, sometimes it’s not what you do but how you do it and both him and city got it wrong.

I tried looking it up via Google but to no avail. Didn't we have a record number of consecutive draws in League two only a few seasons back? We had six draws in a row immediately prior to this run without any. It kind of evens itself out in the long run then!! Thanks for the fact finding.

City are doing very well, I'm sure Matty Taylor feels his move is paying dividends in both sporting and financial achievement. If it weren't city I'd be happy for the manager and fans. As it is I hope the wheels fall off the cart and someone steals the engine too (which is far more likely in that side of Bristol).

With reported debt limits fastly approaching then I hope there will not be a case of pot calling the kettle black with our current owners!!

Its amazing that Boris spent over 30 million on a bridge over the River Thames that was never built and would not generate any returns. Perhaps UWE can see the value of progressing with a planning application and starting a stealth phoenix club for if Rovers reach tipping point.
After all, what is Bristol Rovers? Could all fans collectively follow a phoenix club that rises from the ashes and gashes?

It all fits, I think you're probably pretty close to the mark with most of this. What is harder to work out is what the exit strategy is. Looks like there isn't any sort of plan right now. Just a complete mess. They can exit quite easily by liquidating the club and recouping their money. No damage to their reputation does anyone really believe people doing good business with the bank they own shares in have heard of bristol rovers? Personally I've never been more concerned about the future of bristol rovers Bristol Rovers in it's current entity will only be an investment for a banker if profit is generated. But the current model needs to change in order to find an extra 2 million per season to break even. With income largely being dependent on 8,000 supporters per game per season, and maybe the odd transfer, then finding this extra money will be near on impossible. When extra money cannot be found the logical next step is to find savings from within. It'll be interesting to see how the luxuries of the development squad and backseat administrators continue to be funded. Dwayne Dibley sports are fabricating the ROI by their interest charged on the money being loaned to the club but the irony is this is unsustainable even though the term sustainable is the mantra of Wael. Maybe Rovers is being used as a tax-write off for more profitable investments in the AQ portfolio. Even if Hani spent 40 million on a new stadium he'd need to be convinced that an extra 2 million income per season, compared to the present, will be generated, in addition to covering any financing costs, and in addition to ensuring the team at least stays in this division for such period of time. Would there be a doubling of attendances with a new stadium? What's the going rate for renting a stadium for one-off events? We could have sure as hell done with a decent cup run this season...

DC's comments show a fractured club and that he's forming a coalition with the players. This is worrying since when the owner of a club is being criticised by the players and staff it could lead to a scenario where the owner equally feels disenfranchised and justifies winding down operations.
Look at Leyton Orient. Look at Gloucester City.
When the chips are down this is where the manager earns his money and Darryl should be up for the battle rather than considering the best way to surrender. Not good.

Most gasheads have a soft spot for Ellis but the simple fact is he never scores enough goals and never will. We all wear the same blinkers as Clarke on this one. And now saving goals from being conceded

Fans of all clubs, Rovers included, can see how a young players form and ability can improve with time. Ellis is learning through experience and looks to have improved in all areas; athletically, mentally and skill. What we see here is a product of both the individual and DC's coaching team and it puts those fans who were publicly (and ill-advisedly) over the top in the negative comments about him. Seems a long time ago that he was shipped off to Hartlepool for a loan spell

Dunwald, as any other player, can decide what to do come the end of his contract with Rovers. If my employer had an agreement with their competitor that restricted my free movement then I'd not work for either of them. I'm sure all players also see it that way.

Is the Jordan trip thing a cultural thing perhaps Could be. But it's all pretty unbelievable if you ask me. A bunch of over-entitled academics passing up the opportunity to go on an ego-building overseas jolly to Jordan. I just don't buy that! Reminds me of the adage that negotiation is about settling the differences rather than simply winning.
