James Edmondson has joined Macclesfield (6th tier) on loan until January

The proof of the pudding will be in the eating. And I'm firmly in the camp that has us getting devoured on a regular basis by sides who have got their shit together in this league (which is an a1 prerequisite that Rudy and Shaiky seem to have completely overlooked).

Josh Brownhill moves to Saudi. £100K a week WTF. Hope Buckley snaps him.

We have a worse team than Wrexham. I think you're only reading half what I wrote. We will miss him. We're crap.

You’ve nailed it a scapegoat

Pasha is the one constant, and basically the arm of the owners, the other constant. Everything else is noise.

Ah yes the Wrexham who have signed Callum Doyle Ben sheaf broadhead obrien….to name a few all who comfortably start here and many many other teams in this division so I ask what’s your point?

I don't get it either, it just seems certain players become scape goats for one reason or another. It's happened to players like Brittain and Travis in the past so make of that what you will. All this stuff about Hyam being "soft" and no heart quite frankly baffles me. He's been a good signing and a good servant

Very good point first sentence. Waggott and Mowbray did have the most money to spend re wages / transfer fee though and lots of the investments left for free, and spent money on loans every season. If the opposite policy, which is probably enforced due to financial issues, being employed by Rudy (as sporting director or whatever title he has, I would hope Pasha has no input into football matters properly but I bet I’d be disappointed) puts us in turmoil, because the players coming into the club can’t cut it… the rationale grows for calling Rudy a failure. re Pasha, he was around during the previous 15 years too (including SW/TM)- but being effectively chief exec, he is firmly in the firing line now, and I think that’s a good thing. He has always been a failure.

“Big standard championship” seems above our level at the minute because we can’t pay the wages they deserve

Yeah, you're right. That must be why he's gone to Wrexham.

Sorry, that’s my bad. I’d say you’re probably correct! JE*

Yes the player of the year in a team finishing 7th and a top 5 performer again finishing 7th but he’s big standard honestly I don’t think some people actually watch football

@KentExile thanks for the research!

That website looks like it hasn't been updated since 1998.

Bristol turned Wrexham down for Vyner early in the day, and the size of the bids was quite public. Would have been fairly easy for someone at Rovers to get on the phone to Wrexham "I hear you are looking to spend upwards of £2M on a centre back"

Of all the things to criticise the club for, I'm not sure this is one of them. Rhodes has just retired, & clearly has a solid relationship with Gestede (which is good for consistency, regardless of what we feel about Gestede). It's a good way for him to start his post-playing career & he clearly has experience to call on from his own career that loanees will be able to relate to & benefit from, and will have good knowledge & contacts at League 1 level specifically that can help find suitable clubs for young players to move to for experience; no doubt finding appropriate clubs for our emerging talent will be his very first priority, given that only 3 are out there currently. I'm actually quite pleased with this appointment, though proof will be in the pudding...

Again, I didn't say that.....

Yep you'd think after 14 years of owning us, these people would be knowledgeable to understand & know that. This goes to show where their priorities are in relation to the club. My 11 year old Godchild would understand that better than the people running this club! 😥

Such an exit of seasoned staff, on and off the field. So that's a refreshing new broom or something rotten in the state of Denmark. The last decade and a half could provide a clue.

When it comes to arguing Waggott vs Gestede/Pasha it feels a bit like arguing whether being punched in the face or kicked in the stomach is better. Neither is a great option. Waggott was, if nothing else, a canny operator who was able to do as instructed by keeping us in the Championship without spending a great deal. He had the ability to charm many who met him and leave them believing things weren't so bad. He was in many ways the perfect person for our owners to have in the CEO position, much like Mowbray was the perfect person for them to have in the managerial seat. With our chronic lack of serious ambition to go beyond trundling along in this division it boggles the mind as to why they'd want to remove either of them.

I’m not sure how JDT left because of RG, I would’ve said it was a budget change “mid project” and Greg Broughtnothing. You might know more than I though.

Well if that is Pasha, we have one thing we can agree on.

Also, we could argue it was Pasha's decisions and general dysfuntion behind the scenes that caused that. And if you mean JE, I think RG had a large hand in that.
