2025 Summer Transfer Thread. ๐

Toth Alebiosu - Miller (or Carter) - McLoughlin - Ribeiro Morishita - Tronstad - Tavares - Hedges Cantwell - Ohashi Good enough to pick up a few points but no squad depth again this season, where are the goals going to come from - and how many matches until this team has found its rhythm? -

I desperately want Gestede to explain the rationale behind this transfer window. It's tantamount to footballing suicide what has happened in this transfer window. You simply cannot let so much experience walk out of the door without there being a price to pay. No disrespect to the players coming in and I think some of them will do well for us but anyone who knows the Championship will understand that squad experience is vital. Irrespective of what Gestede says the summer dealings will restrict the amount of money the owners have to send over. As ever they are and always will be the problem at our club. -

NDA's wrong words really. They sign a compromise agreement which includes a payment of cash. Not everyone rolling in 10-15k a week, some on less than 30k a year, so the payment outweighs the benefit of speaking out Ultimately people have bills to pay etc and just like redundancy you want as much as you can get as you dont know when you will get new job. Also in football speaking out often prevents you working in that industry again. So I dont blame people for not publicly speaking out. -

Remarkably ungenerous view of Glen's work over the years but if you're judging the club only on what happens on the pitch, your views would converge wouldn't they? Its a shit show. -

Yeah the one saving grace here is if things go completely tits up it will all 100% land on the shoulders of the owners and current heirachy as they have driven the huge amount of change. Will really turbo change protests. There is always the chance though the new signings turn out okay and we bob along. Very hard to say at the moment. -
If anyone needed confirmation then the Hyam sale provided it - results, points, league position are not the priority here and haven't been throughout any of this summer. Those that were concerned with results - JDT and Eustace - moved on because wanting to be successful and get results was incompatible with the agenda being pursued by the owners and their stooges. Their desire to get Hyam out, his wages gone and their hands on a couple of million of cash overrides everything else, even Championship status. Remember that in May when they start pretending that relegation was unexpected.

If they have signed ndas then they are mugs. If you are so upset with how things are being run why donโt you come out and say it? I will never ever understand that. If you care enough for rovers then tell your side of the story Isak has wissa has - ndas are to protect sensitive information nothing relating to you or how your treated -

The most damning thing about RG is not renewing a single deal with the established players. Surely it would make sense in order to bring in bigger fees as well, even if Rudy never intended on keeping them? Selling Hyam now is mental, and I'm not Dom's biggest fan as a footballer, but he bounced back and had just had a great season as an ever-present in the side. A couple of months until we face Derby, I'll be curious to see our league position by then. So many players that need to gel, and games come thick and fast. Would think Gestede knows what it takes to perform in this league as he spent a number of seasons as a player. Need Ismael to do wonders with us like he did with Barnsley, and that must be what RG is counting on. Can't wait for Ismael's first interview. -

This is quite hard to keep up withโฆ I thought Pasha was the single biggest problem? Rudy no doubt a tw*t who shouldnโt be at our club but it was Suhail pulling all the strings, the one who needs removing asap? -

Makes perfect sense to me. Rudy is โthe clubโ as he works there. Travis, JE left it, so are no longer the club. The Club must be defended at all costs. Classic tribal loyaltyโฆ endearing in a way, unfortunately these fans have never remembered the famous Bobby Robson quote that โWE, the fansโ are the club, its gatekeepers. Just because individuals, could be nefarious individuals, could be incompetent ones, happen to wear club ties they get full throated support. -
Everyone left bar Tronstad - assuming there was no interest and thatโs why he stayedโฆ.? Back in Apri - Rudy Gestede told The Lancashire Telegraph that talks were progressing with some players. Since Yuri Ribeiro has signed a new contract but nothing else is imminent. Tronstad has one year left on his current deal at the end of the season. He is one of three important players in the same boat, as well as Lewis Travis and Callum Brittain.

The club and some of the fans never cease to amaze me. If the club put half the amount of effort into running the club properly, instead of faffing about making fake twitter accounts winding people up and posting BS, we'd have the best run club in the country. If some fans would just open their eyes, even for one second and start blaming Gestede and Pasha, imagine how much traction there would be in removing the owners. But no, instead- It was JDT's fault, it was JE's fault, it was Travis' fault, please make it make sense. - Today

I don't know Glen personally. I have no idea what he claims is true, and so because I can't take those stories at face value on that basis, it's beyond him how anyone can defend the club? Glen may be right. Probably is. I get a bit perturbed by the mob mentality that, unless I believe him and base everything I think on what he says, that my opinion is unfathomable. I don't even really have an opinion because I don't know what goes on behind the scenes. Has Rudy given his account of what has gone on? Or is it Glen's side of the story and that's that?
