That if you fail to prepare , then prepare to fail.
We have failed to persuade a half decent striker to stay because we didn’t prepare to build a promotion side that JM would be able to stay with . It’s believed he wanted Championship football , but goes to a team that hasn’t got it but wants it more than we do.
DM is a great start but obviously too late . We loose the best pair of loan signings the club has ever had and demonstrate what a good side could be like . We failed to scrape through in the playoffs and it started an exodus of players and staff. The board took it on the chin and started the bounce back .
Shrewsbury and Plymouth both took the same road and we’re following by doing what they did , by shipping players out and not replacing them . I know it’s early days and JM hasn’t even kick a ball for Pompey and already it’s left an empty feeling of frustration that seems to stem from always following for the same old hard luck story . GB is a story teller and it’s begging to eco of B*****s.

errm it seems the player wanted to move back down south to be nearer to his partners family. Family comes first whether you are footballer or not so to put it bluntly yet again you are spouting total bollox to suit what you think/agenda and I can't be arsed with the rest of the tripe ;)

Rubbish £2m is the reason we’re parting company with our ONLY striker ! Ambition only runs as far as money !

What the f**k are you on about.?
If we had a budget for top six last season, where did we finish.? Are you not even reading the other threads where people report what the club is saying about new signings.?
What are you trying to prove here.?

Why is it rubbish he is putting family first.??
Are you really as blinkered as you are coming across.?
-
Talk is cheap, top 6 target, competitive budget, championship football etc.
The actual actions nowhere near back up the so called ambition.
-
So you think our transfer dealings are finished already.??
Our actions aren’t finished yet.
I ask again, we delivered last season, didn’t we.?
-
Oh god. Doom doom doom I tell thee.
I do wonder if you are Rovers SUPPORTERS at all because you constantly have the knives out. Go support Liverpool or Man u
-
You know all , let’s see who’s the replacement older or younger , better or worse . Why is the answer not obvious or it’s that my opinion is just that and not one what fits yours or anybody else’s that has bought their season ticket without answers .
-
You can hold whatever opinion you like - don’t come back with the “opinion” argument - but if your opinion is extreme or appears flawed, then prepare to be questioned or criticised..
I buy my ST to support the team, not on the strength of the squad.
-
How dare you have a different opinion from the halfwits. Darren has a plan and when he finds it we'll still be in the shite

Are you naturally like that? Or do you get up especially early to practice.?
-
If you think the only difference about Pompey is their ambition you're deluding yourself. It's a completely different beast of a club. Marquis wanted to move south. No brainer. Look at their attendances and recent history.
Did you honestly think we'd keep Kane/Wilks??? How the hell was that going to happen... even if promoted there was no guarantee
Board is always going to speak aspirationally. But they're not daft and will do what is right by the business long term.

Sorry forgot to be a sheep
It’s bad we are going down, board crap, keepmoat dirty, only bothered about dons blah blah blah.
f**king grow a pair at least we aren’t Bury or Bolton if we have to have a season of rebuilding then so be it

These idiots aren’t Rovers fans. No way.
If the club is so crap why bother.
They just come on here to wind the true supporters up.
Unfortunately they are succeeding.
We should not give these idiots the time of day.
Just completely ignore all their posts.
Well i am as they are not worth our time or the aggravation.

I do hope you cheer up old lad, ...you laden your stories with such intolerable gloom and doom, and it appears that the more impressionable are hanging on every dark cloud ....
I hate to be the harbinger off optimism and hope, but I just can’t get melancholic over these matters....I’m really excited about this season,
I guess I’m the only one......

They may care old fruit, but they lack the ability to express themselves in a way that is other than pessimistic,
If you can’t find anything positive to write, it’s not mandatory to write something negative for the sake of it....
and actually being able to reply to a criticism using things like logic, facts, context, and the truth will always help the debate along...

It's realism, and not blind faith. It's having the foresight to criticise when it's due.

As opposed to criticising based on no evidence just a weird vendetta against the board.

I imagine your the type who doesn’t like winners on sports day at school, who encourages its the taking part that counts, who when we’ve been relegated in the past said “ah well it’s only a game”

More than happy with the cash for Marquis. A decent striker for sure and fantastic for rovers while he was here but no worldy. We have a good team that will provide lots of chances at league 1 level to most out and out strikers so not concerned this early. Marquis was all profit to us so gives us funds to buy another young striker to nurture and strengthen in depth.
Onward and upward in Moore we trust
-
Anyone who still isn't concerned at all, even at this stage, about our chances this season needs their pulse checking.
Let's not mess about here. This pre-season has been a complete shambles.
- A good manager who actually delivered. Gone.
- Decent players; Rowe, Andrew, Butler and Marosi. Gone.
- Top loanees; Kane, Wilks and Downing. Gone. And never stood a chance of keeping them.
- Now Marquis, our 7th top goalscorer of all time. Gone.
Yes, we replaced the manager with a decent bloke who could be good, but took an age to do so. And now here we are, three days (yes THREE days) away from the season and we have barely even got started replacing the talent we had last season, let alone actually improving the squad.
I wouldn't even mind the sale of Marquis in isolation. £2m is a good deal for a L1 striker with a year left on his contract. Good luck to him. It's that PLUS all the above that is worrying.
As it stands, this bare bones squad isn't even as good, in depth OR in quality, as the one from 2017/18 which stayed up by just 6 points. Alfie May is currently the only available striker at the club who had regular L1 football last season, and the geezer only scored 2 league goals. Marquis, Rowe and Wilks scored 40 between them last year. Where are the goals going to come from this time?
Despite the usual messaging coming out from Gavin Baldwin bullshit factory, about wanting to improve on last year, having good players lined up to come in, "don't panic", etc, at the moment this isn't a club that looks at all serious about doing well next season. If it were, it wouldn't be so seemingly indifferent about getting a competitive squad together in advance of the season, giving the manager time to prepare for the challenges ahead. The lack of urgency all around has been breathtaking.
But to end on a high note, with Bury and Bolton on -12 we can't be bottom of the league until at least 4 games in. So don't say I don't say owt positive. :P

this squad in my opinion is worse than the one that got relegated to League Two.

Believe me Boomstick it's not foresight you have.
It's an odd determination to criticise the club for not doing the things you want them to do in the manner in which you want it done.
