I rarely get to use the Pythagorean Theorem these days but if I was to do a quick critical calculation analysis based on -:
a) the signatories of his last 'coach-sacking petition',
b) the amount of people he informs us have died officially of Covid-19,
c) Rovers fans who turned out for their last Wembley homecoming losing parade...........
........well, I reckon you could have a right good night out in the backroom of 'The Nutshell' in Bury St Edmunds.

bumpy just gets worse, 'taken millions' even at his wildest allegations 825,000 shares in a loss making endeavour, we are not a cash making club, and AP owns it, if he shuts up shop we will be beggered!

The long named poster, who has been identified as “Knockers bump” doesn’t live up to expectations.

Whilst Bumpy was outrageously controversial at times, he could also be accurate, cutting, and even eloquent. This poster just doesn’t cut the mustard, in my opinion he’s a poor imitation.

Are you talking about the share capital that's been the same in the balance sheet since before AP bought the club? I literally don't understand what you mean - which numbers are you referencing and in which year?

Because we don't meet the financial size (turnover, assets, employees) that require us to publicly file a P&L. Unlike Leeds, Warrington, Saints, Wigan.

No, because the first item is not a required disclosure and the second would be conjecture based on a made up valuation and an unknown book value.

Nope, this is a screen grab from the 2016 season accounts, as I said I looked at it fleetingly, it was 820,000 not the 852,000 I mentioned.
I asked the question, how much has Pearson taken out of the club in monetary terms?

Take a screen grab of the 2010 accounts before AP bought the club please. Do you even know what share capital is?

You can ask what you like and I'll repeat that unlike Wigan, Warrington, Leeds and Saints we are not big enough financially to be required to file a P&L and associated notes including directors' emoluments. What we do know though is that dividend payments won't have been made because there are insufficient profit reserves.

No depth at all? we've got decent cover in all positions except maybe prop this season.

Hull have probably got the smallest squad in SL, a Hull live article had you down as having a squad of 26 and that included three young lads so I wouldn't suggest you had great depth in your squad either.

You have hit the nail on the head though regarding injuries but that applies to virtually every team.

I think most clubs are running a small squad, Wigan have really cut their squad back and Warrington also dont have great depth outside the 17, these clubs and Hull are going rely on youth players and this is the way to go.

Rovers may have depth, but certainly not quality cover, lots of championship standard players as cover, I'd rather go with youth players personally. Not sure your your halfbacks either, no experience or quality in the starting halfs, never mind cover.

Gotta agree with you about our halves, young and inexperienced yes, we need Abdul to stay fit and young Mikey Lewis looks like he's got a great future ahead of him. (Time will tell)
The championship standard players as cover is also true but there still young enough to improve and adapt to SL hopefully.
I agree with you about squad sizes, the top sides squads seem to be around 22 first teasers then it's kids, you only need a few injuries though and your having to throw them in.
I'm hopeful at Rovers well see improvement but need our key players to stay fit. Probably 8th at best. Hull I reckon 5th at best. (I'm usually wrong though)
