This is kit thread not the thread for those issues which I comment on Mike in those thread. I am looking forward to seeing the home kits in person and buying it hopefully

They'll not sack him and if he left we'd probably get the London based finance guy who was appointed to the board rocking up and overseeing matters. I sense he might be behind a lot of the recent cuts on top of the thumbscrews the other two were already operating. Just like the rest of them he'd then spot his own opportunity to ride the gravy train and enjoy all the perks.

I didn’t say YOU did, so wonder why YOU responded?

I'd be pretty frustrated with that as a Derby fan. Would smack of lazy scouting.

Oh nice one. cheers. I'll take a look and see what's on

Some random X account reckoned that Weimann to Derby was all but done. Didn't bother adding it to here because it was just a random account that's probably trying to grab a summer 25 ITK badge but it wouldn't surprise me.

Travis and Dolan will end up at Derby. As will Weimann and Batth.

Excellent. Now the big money is off the table, it shouldn't be a problem to get Travis signed to a new 3/4 year deal. Unless of course now we can't compete with the East Midland powerhouses of Derby.

Once again…this is what we were told in April 2024…the plan *was* for 4 kits this season…then Fraser Read left so 🤷‍♂️

Shouldn't be a surprise. Don't forget we got practically live feeds from The Avenue's CCTV camera's a couple of years ago during the bizarre Fans/Players/Waggot meeting.

Quite a few games are on Channel 5.

https://rovers.co.uk/news/2025/june/16/take-a-closer-look-at-the-25-26-home-kit/ So pointless unveiling it now tonight 🤣

They've already released the Video on the Rovers app lol

I don't even know what this tournament is? 😂 Also, it's on DAZN sports, which means I can't watch it anyway.

Nothing but a cash grab to push football deeper into the American market and eventually leave all the non-'elite' clubs further behind. A pre season spaff fest for people who think football was invented in 1992 and TV.

Indeed. The whole point, as they've admitted to, is to relieve the financial burden off the owners. The fabled Brentford model is a total myth.

Wonder how it leaked in the way it did, surely we have a ‘head of making sure kits don’t leak ahead of very important season ticket holder events’ on the books

I don't think they will sack him either but I know he really flaps under pressure and hates publicity. He may decide he's had enough if he gest plenty of flak publicly.

Yeah, THAT’S what’s unacceptable, not the bog standard kit or the way our club’s name is being dragged through elephant shit in international news outlets…

I mean it's like Sunderland running out in horizontal red and white stripes. Other than that it's an ok kit...

The Wharton money was in the 23/24 accounts so will count towards FFP up to and including the 25/26 accounts. The Szmodics money will be in the 24/25 accounts so will count towards FFP up to and including 26/27.

4 slots requires 35% of the minutes the club played to have been by English players. Where an ESC player is unavailable through injury his pro-rata minutes are used in the calculation instead.

When does the FFP roll over? We must quickly be approaching the point where we couldn't spend the Wharton / Szmodics money even if we wanted to because our turnover is so low (the commercial and football side of the club is running well though, no need for the new CEO to get involved with that).

I'm calm about the shirt. As I say, it's OK. In the grand scheme of contracts being run down, players sold to pay the bills, under-qualified buffoons running the club, season ticket prices going back up, the women's team being made redundant and the ground looking like shit, an above-average shirt is the least of our worries for our 150th year.
