| Interesting piece in the Fail today by Paul Cooke re. TS, and I must admit I agree with the crux of the article. I was gutted when I heard TS was going to go, but when the dust settles, the club moves on. What I agree with is the point re. Paul Lakin and his contribution and upward curve of the club since he has been our CEO, not diminishing by any means the other board members and of course our "saviour" Neil Hudgell. It just seems that Lakin has the (hopefully) financial brain and drive that has benefitted Rovers since he arrived, and to criticise without knowing too much is unfair. The TS news was akin to our good news and confidence balloon being popped at a crucial time, but the club is in a better state then it was. The bottom line is that finances dictate a clubs trajectory, and if as we believe, they are much better then they were, then things have improved and must continue to do so by making sensible decisions. We have been financially on the verge of disaster before, and I don,t want it again, and it,s a tightrope to walk between spending too much to attain success, and building sensibly to progress and be secure.
I want TS to stay, but if there is major disagreement between key personnel as to who make the big decisions, it,s probably going to be the coach that gives way. Not great, but that,s the way of it. Personally I would be more concerned if Paul Lakin left but that,s just my view. I want a strong financially stable(as much as is possible)club.
Coaches come, coaches go, but the club remains. I want a strong one, not one in financial trouble(like a near neighbour) we,ve been there before and it,s bloody awful. I remember 1500 gates, administration, and collection blankets going round the pitch...no thanks! I prefer the late 70,s early 80,s.
Some great news re Elliot Minchella, more of that please.

30596_1286642206.jpg If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

| Superb news, glad to be totally wrong in thinking he'd definitely go.

As rovers head coach Sandercock had a better win % than tony smith
Two of your best forwards are crossing the city, we’ve offered them better terms than hull can '"
So it,s not because they WANT to play for Rovers then?

| Tony's cunning short restart plan worked a real treat. Exactly what you need in a tight game with injuries. Go behind, take a needless risk, concede, repeat. The GOAT.
