So basically your biggest gripe a123 is he said we're aiming for mid table in the Championship?

I suppose he could have said, reyt get yersens off for yer season tickets everone, we're going for 4th from the bottom.

I'm not certain but I reckon he would have got some stick had he said that.

How you can mention TS & KB in the same breath and liken the 2 situations is beyond me. Just because we got screwed back then doesn't mean we would with TS.

Nope my biggest gripe is he made that statement along with others and then the delivery totally failed to match the plan.

I'm a realist and understand our standing in the football world and personally would have been happy for him to say we're going to put a team of battlers together with the first aim of staying in the Championship and once that is secured trying to push on towards a mid-table position.

Tony Stewart on his own has not got the financial clout to bankroll a top end Championship team, I accept that and don't expect us to compete there, TS on the other hand said we would.

Without additional finances coming into the club either by being able to develop the Guest and Chrimes site, filling the units at the ground or brining additional investors into the board room the best we can hope for is bottom 6 in the Championship.

My big worry is that despite this week's statements there is no sign of a forward plan, lots of platitudes acknowledging that mistakes have been made, no acknowledgement of how these were going to be corrected and how the club was intending to build going forward.

I'll be there next season like I have for the best part of the last 40 years because Rotherham United is in my blood, I'd suspect that some of the more recent converts will need to see some positive signs regarding the appointment of the new manager and player recruitment before they decide whether they'll return.

The 2 situations with the ownership of the ground are exactly the same whether you like it or not, I did not say in any way that Tony Stewart is Ken Booth reincarnated, the last 8 years have more than demonstrated that.
