I was looking for a game to go to next Tuesday and saw Southport are playing Macclesfield so decided to get a ticket. Out of curiosity I had a quick look at the Southport squad and saw a number of ex Rovers. Their manager is Neil Danns and amongst their squad they have Dan Pike, Jordan Slew and Paul Murphy-Worrell.

Absolute Gravy Train...no one will bite the Hand that feeds so generously.

it says "loan" However, if it is a loan with a view to a permient, , then it seems a bad deal

That would be a huge loss for me if it's a permanent move. I've watched Duru come through the academy and into the under-21's over the past few seasons. I view him as one of, if not the best young prospect we have in terms moving up to the first team. It's a sad day when our best youngsters continue to be sold before they get a chance of first team football.

If Pashaa is not a director & therefore his remuneration is not covered in those figures, I wonder just how much of the rest of our wage bill he takes up? I wonder if the answer to that question may also show why our total wage bill remains fairly constant year on year despite repeated cuts to the playing staff

What on earth is this club going to do in the summer of 2027 when 15 of the current squad will be out of contract. Realise a couple will have the kick the can down the road 12 month options, but still.

GO! GO! GO! CHADSTER!🎈

Accounts to June 2024 showed directors total remuneration of £766k with the highest paid director (Waggott) accounting for £592k of that. Leaves £174k shared between Coar, Babu and Screenivasa Rao - I wonder just how much Coar gets paid for doing, IMO, not a lot!?!?!? Nice 'work' if you can get it!!!

COYB!!! 🔵⚪️ Lets go and get that first home win today.

..Or balls, or any actual influence, or anything other than a nominal role that involves doing what he is told in return for free hospitality at Rovers games (and what a fabulous incentive that must be these days). Let's face it. The bridge is deserted, and we are the Marie Celeste of the footballing world.

What does that look like? Do you agree with this? Is that similar to what I suggest to KentExile " Our key players around 6 or 7 should be on a certain around 16k to 25k, then your next 6 or 7 players should be around 10k to 15k with rest below that but with incentives bonuses in all contracts based on appearances, goals and clean sheets. "

I don't, and truth be told I'm not sure anyone at the club does either. One thing I do know is Cantwell has never grabbed anything by the scuff of it's neck

He's always needed his seat on the Board to maintain whatever status he has/had at the FA. We'll literally be wheeling him out in a box.

I've always been of the impression that Coar's is a token role on the board. Perhaps a way to show there's a bridge between the old and the new, when there isn't. I assume he doesn't do anything really. Maybe appears whenever there's a meeting requiring unanimous consent once a blue moon and nods his head whilst someone passes him a cheque. None of this to undermine your point, quite the opposite. I sense he has no convictions about us at all.

Coar is 78 now and must have been involved with the club for over 40 years good times and bad. Maybe just finds it difficult to let go but at 78 you would have thought he would have had enough with the last 15 years

On the bench today Olson - score/update - game live on Sky Sports + Kick off at 12:30 TBA - 3pm kick off O'Riordan - score/update

Us by 2027...

Got a better idea Pep?

He was good last season, & played his part in a clean sheet last weekend Prices are forever increasing..unless its Rovers doing the selling that is

We’ll look back in a few years at that team and think “oh my God. How poor was that team”.

Very ignorant my end but is this defender West Brom have sold worth £10m? Unless my head's in the sand I don't recall him standing out?

AFAIK Coar has been a constant throughout the chaos and decline of the. past 15 years. If he really cared about the club he would have resigned at some stage in protest. But he hasn’t, he’s never even made a public statement that I’m aware of, so the only conclusion must be is that he’s fully signed up to and supports the current regime

Cheers, my point was more in reference to quality rather than character, etc. I was trying to highlight the points he was making about the data being a factor in decision making and in most cases it being the one that holds the least weight. I personally don’t think Gueye is a championship player and I’m on the fence re Ohashi. I wouldn’t class miller in the same bracket as with the SPL being so accessible it’s like signing a player from the champ/league 1.

If that's how you look for things I hope you don't cross busy roads often
