Beastie Russell Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Dellios has to keep up slating the Rovers. His only chance of another team dealing with him is if he continues to call out the failings at our end rather than his. Perhaps a stretch for the Courier to pursue this agenda rather than just printing any old pish he sends them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised and a little disappointed the FFP didn't run with the "I was at a mates restaurant and he told me he had this investment banker on the phone to talk to" angle but they seemed to just gloss over that as if it was perfectly reasonable 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Dellios is my favourite slaver since that boy on here said his son had been using his account. I’m also a big fan of him using random pictures of himself with footballers to make some kind of point. The decades old one of him with Pele was a beezer. It’s as if he thinks, “if I show them this ancient image of me standing near a footballer, maybe they’ll think my laddie is actually quite good at football and ignore my laughably terrible website.” A complete Walter Mitty style fantasist, but fair play to him, he’s made me laugh umpteen times over the last couple of weeks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally liked him detailing in (....) that Manchester City are one of the worlds biggest clubs. Until that point I thought he was a slavering hoor who knew nothing about the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also glad to see it was Gordon Smith [Scottish football Hall of Famer] not Gordon Smith [the guy who came off the bench for us in the Ramsdens Cup Final] who was involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading that Gordon Smith is in the SFA Hall of Fame made me almost choke on my Ricicles yesterday morning. The fact Gordon Smith Is in the SFA Hall of Fame shows up Scottish football as the old firm driven rabble that it is.

There’s a Gordon Smith in the Hall of Fame, but it’s the one who won the league with three different teams, none of whom were Celtic or Rangers 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were signing him would have thought we would have by now Not really bothered where he's disappeared too not good enough for us or any Championship club. Hopefully big John steps up and money can be found to strengthen at the back and up top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldnt see how he met any other criteria. A bit like me telling folk I'm in the Rovers HoF as I take the bairns to the panto at the Adam Smith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Listened to the interview today and the guy from the Trust spoke very well about how it works at other clubs and what his opinion is on the best way forward. Ultimately we need to be planning ahead and a fan ownership/sim combo might be the step in the right direction needed. My concern as always is everyone would want a say on every single agenda so it would need to be a case of electing someone and trusting their judgement on what to pursue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher brash Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Why are the trust not starting fundraising campaign now , Personally think there will be more appetite for it now than ever before , We are no where near ready for fan ownership but build funds up so when the time is right there is finance sitting 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
