Thanks.. So Myles Anderson's Unleash the Player Ltd is indeed an agency..

If you listened to Kidder Noise podcast, you would have heard that we don't reinvest fee's received by Rovers hence why that questioned was asked to Rovers management during the last fan forum. They have a budget and that's it. I think we are seeing a change. I could be wrong

Just having a think about this. Pululu plays in Poland & was involved in the Conference League up until the quarter finals last season, same as Morishita. Does that mean that Pululu would qualify for a standard GBE too? Pululu must have a similar points total (minus the National team ones)

Plus the wages of all the loan players we had.

I think at the end of the day the £ out going will balance the £ in coming. Wasn’t that always the plan ? We will have actually spent plus 0.

All offset by the outgoings of Trav, Brittain, JRC and then the likely departures of Pears and Buckley.

It always makes it look worse. It’s a bit like when you’re waiting to come on as a sub. The game looks to be going at a million miles an hour from the touchline, Once you get on you soon get used to it.

You can dispute all the fees you want Mercer. Morishita fee was reported as £2m from the Polish journalist. Tavares fee is up to £2m based on Alan Nixon The 5m budget for transfer come from Kidder Noise podcast where it is discussed as part of fans forum minutes. Questions were asked also about increase that budget from players sales with some of it being available to spent, I think that what we are seeing and they are backing Gestede and Ismael more this summer than last season.

I can send you some complimentary newspapers to use as shin pads. It’ll have to be “ The Guardian “ though.

I used to buy “Gant “ clothes when they were made in the USA back in the day. They were expensive but good quality. Now they are normally made in the far East. Still expensive but the quality isn’t what it was. I’ll bet that your shirts are better quality. The 1960’s one I bought certainly was. I’m not really up for buying one of the 1950’s shirts but if you get stuck with any I’ll buy one to support what I think a really good cause.

I think that was DeNeve and I think they may be right.

IMO, the Raos, Pasha, Waggott and Gestede have all been economical with the facts. Preumably, you feel very uncomfortable about that? Perhaps Ismael could also become a voluntary lay preacher!? I would dispute we have spent anywhere near £7.5m. I think fees for players signed have been over-hyped for the consumption of those in our fan base who are highly gullible. I would put fees paid in the £4 to 5million range with a further £2 to 3million due when we win the PL!!! The fact is fees for departing players Brittain, Travis, JRC, Buckley and Dolan (compo) will almost certainly exceed the fees paid for our incomings. I think the reality is we have spent nothing, in fact we are in the black on fees and you can add to that some add-ons from past sales. I suspect if our budget is £5million, there may well be some hefty bonuses to be paid due to a substantial saving on that budget! Of course the only way round this is to scrap all this 'undisclosed fee' crap, report both the actual fee, potential add-ons and the fee paid to agents for every transaction. That would give you the openness, transparency and honesty that seems to excite you.

Nixon has said we have been talking to Lorient for a few days for that striker

Much as I liked Nyambe as a defender anybody who thinks he should be playing as a wing back needs to give their head a wobble.

Unleash the player.

It was the same with Gueye in the WBA game, he was effectively refferreed out of the match.

Not sure it is that simple. Why did he decide to leave? What messages was he receiving from Suhail and Gestede?

Eustace wasn’t sacked, he decided to leave. Clearly he saw the writing on the wall over the summer regarding contracts expiring etc and recruitment going in a different direction. BTW, I noticed Batth, Sanderson, Nyambe and Weimann all started for Derby at the weekend. If that was us, I’d be fuming.

Yeah, I heard that. Need to check the source, though.. And I did find him on LinkedIn.." Unleash the player Ltd".. It looks like an agency or a tentacle of one, but I am not sure..

We signing him as centre half backup?

There are some rumours surfacing about Myles Anderson being involved.

aren't we spending money this window? £7.5m spent and possible more so. This summer we seem to back Ismael with money but also permanent signings. Gestede, Owen and Ismael are all aligned and thinking the same way but they appears to be allowing to spend more money than we have done since the Mowbray spending on BBD and Armstrong

Yes, an obvious pattern. Hard not to think it is deliberate sabotage...

What hasn't changed is the fact that football is a results business, and the patience of those with the purse strings wears thin very quickly if the results don't meet expectations. The confounding factor that we have had to contend with at the Rovers since the Venky era began is that there doesn't seem to be any clear set of expectations. The closest we got recently was the odious Waggott claiming that survival was the goal a couple of seasons back. No wonder we lack direction, there's nobody setting a Vision, so the Mission is confused and contradictory. Basic strategic management. Absence of. End. That's what is most frustrating for those of us who have lived through eras where there WAS a clear plan, there WAS a coherent strategy (even if it was shoe-string stuff) and there WAS a clear identity and cohesion on the pitch week in, week out. It's about time we had another era where we all felt like we could pull together.

Unless Adam Owen & Rudy Gestede are a pair of magicians 😉
