What does it mean? What should we read into this? Do we need to make a sacrifice? We need some form of prophet to descend to earth (i.e. actually attend a game) to tell the poor, ignorant masses (i.e. those who attend games week in, week out) what they should be doing. Could Bob give us his only son (Viva Rovers) in order that we might see the light and trudge off semi-disconsolately to spend the rest of the season muttering about conspiracies and plots.This really is pathetic. We punched above our weight for four seasons, was usually either the smallest or second smallest club in the Championship, ran a £3millon deficit each season (financed by three Directors who were not compelled to finance this) and even with the efforts of SOD (peace be upon him) we were going backwards pretty much every season we were there. Change was needed, it was tried, it ended in a mess and we got relegated. Club now cutting its cloth accordingly (arguably should have been done from 2008 onwards) and is making an effort to reengage with supporters and has a robust, realistic long term plan which means we also get control of the stadium. Get behind YOUR club!

The club said no.I know that was only a minor point in your post but bloody hell, what a ridiculous demand! Are such clauses common in football?

Capmeister, the worst is over and there is a new positivity in the club. The "experiment" (god, I hate calling it that) was a failure, and the price has been paid by us all, from JR and the board down to us guys. Everything since Gavin has taken over the reins has been designed to return the club to a platform where it can grow again organically, and this has been successful. I heard from the club today that the initial phase of this rebuilding has already shown us to be on target to be within budget this season, which is a brilliant position to be in within such a short period of time. Control within the club has been restored, and that is massively important. Ally to this the positivity of the new keen and eager players and the feel good factor is starting to come back to the team.
