They're not gonna just be chilling in the lobby or the bar

Rohl is at the Marriott as we speak.

Yep. Japan. Australia if I remember correctly too.

Sorry but there's been far worse!

What a crap decision

Love the new retro look of the pitch.

And then playing Chelsea.

This Austrian (?) presenter/interviewer doing way too much to make the Norris win exciting

Is Colapinto dumb?

McLaren racing. Wonder if it'll end in tears again.

Pfft, speak for yourself! Or should I say, 'Sprechen Sie für sich selbst!'

Top had a zoom call with him yesterday.

Love that we're the club they actually got, then talked themselves out of it And the bint at the end thinks the lion is the vegan team

@em9999?

Because it goes to show the problems are also beyond RVN. Surely you can see and appreciate that? The club is in the shit. RVN was just a small faulty cog within the whole machine. I don't think it's difficult to grasp.

Saying the club didn't back him doesn't equate to defending him. Just saying.

Interestingly we're at home on Diwali weekend (it's on 20th). We're at home to Portsmouth in 18th. Usually the club request that weekend to be an away game. Unless that's changed or is irrelevant because it's on Monday this year?

You've gone beyond the point I was making. He came in November and from what he said, had funds in January to use on various targets. When that transpires to be a £3m signing by the end of the window, it hardly screams having funds to 'work with'...

Also, people want instant success and instant change. Never works like that in this day and age so any small win 'appears' insignificant even though it could be the start or a domino effect of influencing other change, demonstrating to the club that communication like this can work. And rapport can be built if that communication goes both ways, and that they do listen to what the Trust (ie fans) are putting across.

I don't disagree with either of you! But one player signed in Jan, for a paltry £3m, doesn't scream having opportunities to change things up. Therefore, not much to work with. I'm not making an excuse for him here. His choices were questionable at times and that's being generous! Pre-game, during matches and after a player had a good game he gets dropped etc.. I'm not backing him. But it's not as simple as saying he was shit when the club didn't exactly do much to help him out...

Him being shit and also not having anything to work with doesn't have to be mutually exclusive. Both are true.

I'd take a sausage roll at this rate.

Do you really think he said anything anyway

Two words in Percy's article immediately stand out. 'Anonymous board'. Couldn't be more true. They've been anonymous for a while.

Imagine if Rudkin has done this and Top doesn't even know. Top flies back and reinstates Ruud
