I think people are confusing sniping and stirring with genuine frustration and anger. He put 15 years of hard work and millions of pounds into the club before stepping down believing the club was in better hands to push forward. Citing ill health as a reason for his rant is also a fairly low shot.
In my opinion, for what that's worth, I think we're going to have to change the policy of self-sufficiency. We've just been relegated, and I'm not even sure if we've achieved self-sufficiency yet! If it's the case that we haven't reached it yet, how far down the league ladder will we have dropped before we do reach it?
We were successful in the Ryan era because we spent a lot more money than we could really afford. That’s fine if you have owners that are prepared to cover the losses. It’s far from the norm at this level though.

It's worked wonders for Scunthorpe, it can for us too.

Scunthorpe would never have been any higher than they are now without spending money they don't have!

I wonder how it’s going at Bournemouth and Brentford?

As pissed off as we were with JR's experiment of free agents?

Hmm.What?You just said that Scunthorpe would never have been any higher than they are now without spending money they don't have.So spending money they don't have has put them where they are. This is not a convincing argument for Rovers to spend money they don't have too.
Remind me again how much Brentford will be getting next season, bfyp?

This is not a convincing argument for Rovers to spend money they don't have too. I said Scunthorpe would never have been any higher than they are now without spending money they don't have and are back where they are now because they've stopped spending money they don't have!
