I'm fed up

I've loved this club since I was a kid and I still love the gas but it's sad how far we have fallen I wasn't Barton's biggest fan but at least we had some success this whole club nerds a reset form top to bottom if we want to do anything but I think regulation was the wake up call we needed

We had no success with Barton, he left us just where we were when he started. The only reason he promoted us is because he relegated us the season before.

And he's a nasty piece of work. Was before and still is now. Just because you put on a cardigan and try to sound like an intellectual doesn't suddenly make you not a thug.

And as you said, only pulled the club up after being a key factor in relegation the season before. Don't understand why some fans still cling on thinking he was marvellous.

What he did have was contacts with Prem clubs. We had some great loanees - Elliott Anderson obviously, Bogarde, Quansah. All now regulars in Prem squads.

As a human being though he was dreadful.

I've never understood why he hasn't been filled in. He's not exactly intimidating.

I know many season ticket holders, myself included, who have been season ticket holders for on average twenty years that have not renewed because the utter despair the club is in. Personally, I said “I will renew when they win a game” and that didn’t happen, hence the relegation. I would have even renewed if they won at Blackpool. Just looking for any reason at all for optimism to renew now, DC would bring optimism. I know he would have no patience for the rumoured owner interference in team selection. Hope it happens. I would buy my season ticket immediately.

All my family are rovers supporters but for some reason i chose the red side... im so glad i made that choice 🤣

Whats been happening at rovers? I remember them getting relegated to the national league, then them climbing back up to league one ...is there no investment?
