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.

| Quote: Tarquin Fuego "WHY would anybody buy a club that owes it owners about £2.5 million ( to be repaid obv) and loses £450,000pa ? If lifelong fans and businessmen like Crossland can't rescue it then WHO can ?'"
Its not about the money exclusively. Its about taking the club to the next level. Neil thinks he has now taken the club as far as he can go. Someone coming in could have a clean slate, fresh ideas etc. Someone who could invest not bail out like suggested. I dont think Rob has the time to fully run Rovers, i dont doubt we'd see Parasol become a heavy sponsor, as would Neil Hudgell Solicitors, thats the point, they are not walking away, they want someone to move us on further. Neil delivered his plan, build a team for promotion, get promoted, stay there and build. |

I guess you can all discuss the "spin" and how you are the greatest team in the world, with the best fans, whilst every ref decision goes against you and everyone hates you.'"
Not all of us, other wise we wouldn't be on here (exclusively in some cases). |

ZOD FOR MOD!!:29288.jpg |
|
| Quote: General Zod. "I skipped to this page, read your post and I didn't even need to read anything before.
The same threads with the same posters with the same points over and over and over again. The usual suspects think they're annoying but the annoyance wore off a long time ago to the point were Rovers fans who've posted in the past probably take one look and see the same old tripe and can't even be bothered to read more than one line so they get fed up and don't come back.
The mods need to have a discussion between them about what direction this board is going because it's disintegrating and we've lost a lot of posters and it's no wonder we rarely get any new posters (who are Rovers fans) on here anymore.
Anyway, regarding FC fans I'll say this. Whether you chose to believe me or not I don't care, but I do have a good mate with ties to an FC board member and he has said that Pearson has spent a lot more money on FC than he ever anticipated and he wants results - plain and simple. The only thing is, is that your squad simply isn't good enough to deliver those results and the realisation that throwing money at a club hasn't duplicated the same effect as back-to-back promotions as Chairman of Hull City, is making him realise that he's made a big mistake hence why Hay has gone.
Given that FC will not equal their top-six place finish like last year, if Pearson doesn't sack Gentle, then he'll look stupid to those he's been gobbing off to.'"
ALL HAIL THE GENERAL THE GREATEST POSTER BY FAR. THE MAN IS BANG ON TIME AND TIME AGAIN!! |

Indeed, I prefer some of you (I'll include you) to a fair few of our posters on our board to be honest! |

| Quote: Mrs Barista "A few points, my love.
1 I'm unsure how you know it's the the same points made repeatedly if you've only read one page.
2 You slate repetition yet yourself posted 150 times in 48 hours to the effect that Peter Fox was a far superior winger to Tom Briscoe. No one can hope to reach those levels of tedium.
3 I post on a minority of threads on this board, it's you who chooses to exaggerate my importance, not sure why that could be tbh.
4 You've made not a single point relevant to the thread topic, but posted only about others who have and then tried to de-rail onto Hull FC. Not for the first time, I note. I've already replied to The Mighty F90 that FC will record record losses and acknowledge Pearson will be disappointed with his investment.
5 If FC go pop, we know you and GML will tap dance on our grave. But isn't the game in the city stronger for having derbies? And they certainly guarantee you 4 easy points a season.
So, to save you reading the thread, but in an attempt to get it back on track, the topic is yesterday's Mike Smith interview, what did you make of it?'"
In a nutshell, RL is skint and every club is losing money apart for Leeds so the HDM article is tumbleweed whether it be from a Rovers, FC or another SL's clubs point of view.
Regarding Mike Smith, I've always thought he's a really open and honest communicator but in hindsight, I think losing Paul Lakin was a massive loss to the club and had he still been around, I expect things would be a lot better than what they are now in some shape or form. |
