Can’t be bothered to go back and find the post, but when he was appointed I said Smith wasn’t the answer. If you haven’t, watch his pre match presser, he can’t give a straight answer to a question and just waffles a load of nonsense. This is obviously what he’s like in training, waffles a load of nonsense and can’t give straight, direct instructions, no wonder the players don’t know if they’re on their head, backside or elbow.

Pearson said Smith would be his last coaching appointment so for those calling for his sacking I’m not sure. Plus coaches don’t get ‘sacked’ they are paid off and Pearson can’t afford to pay Smith off. Those calling for Pearson to go, who do you honestly think would buy or invest in a club without a ground who are on a downward spiral ? Nobody, that’s who. Everyone needs to be worried, if Pearson has had enough what will happen ? Worst case scenario is the club could fold.

What coaching credentials does Stanley Gene have ? That’s what Pearson should have asked Smith before he allowed him to bring his best friend and yes man with him ! I think he thought like the majority of us he was getting one over on Rovers and went along with it.

One last thing, no matter how bad the team is, I will never, ever boo my team. It’s not their fault they’re not good enough or coached well enough, whatever you might think they’ve just put their bodies on the line and will wake up bruised, battered and aching tomorrow.

Good post. Completely agree.

I believe it’s called, return on investment.

Very to hard/difficult to argue against the points raised as they are a pretty fair summation of the situation and what a concerning number of fans are likely to be thinking.

KR got own ground now bought surrounding land promised Sewell, MKM(who wanted to invest in us) both promised contracts for building on surrounding areas if they invest which they have, James McNicholl former KR chairman Colins lad and multi millionaire ploughed 7 million into KR. All on the KR board plus more sponsors queuing up the get on board but our chairman refuses help and people joining the board and I wonder why, plus as an investor what you investing in??? we don't own anything of note.

KR got lucky by being granted a patch of land around a stadium that hadent been developed for decades. Hudgell tried and failed to sell Rovers for years before that happened.

We cant blame Pearson for lack of assets, he of course bought the club already locked into the MKM deal and theres never been the finances to build our own training ground.

The other factor that isnt directly Pearson's fault is the TV deal, had the game being managed properly we could have been in situation where the TV deal was increasing while the salary cap kept the costs down and clubs could be making a profit. Instead SKY have the game over a barrell and you'd have to be a diehard fan to throw millions at RL.
