By accident rather than by design. It doesn’t replicate the open forum format, which is what happens with supporter consultation.

Goes to show what a bit of sponsorship or funding achieves.

How do you know I haven't factor quality or readiness? who in the squad I posted isn't ready to play? Which position don't we have enough Quality in?

isn't the fans forum made up of people representing different groups and asking questions to people from Rovers?

Absolutely brilliant news. More money that venkys have to find themselves.

I know, not sure what your point is?

Are their owners just buying all the second clubs in a region?

Millwall have signed Alfie Doughty, another really good signing.

Haven't Espanol been bought out by the Dingles. And rubbed salt into the wounds for us?

If he’d been available and played most of the season for Plymouth, why was he unfit when he came?

Is there any value in Buckley? If come the end of the window, we inevitably sell Brittain, will we regret selling JRC?

Why do the men never say how proud they are to be English

Numbers game though isnt it. Thats still bodies and wages covering centre mid. Would i prefer another centre to any of the 4 behind Travis and tronstad? Yes. But we've a lack of bodies elsewhere.

Went to a darts do a bit ago, Bobby George was on, he said his proudest time was representing England. Chloe Kelly said last night that she loved being English, how good seeing every one of the girls singing the anthem. 💪

Don't mind Forshaw if we need to shore up and see a game out. Thought he did that well last season, the fitter he got. Luton away springs to mind.

It could count as transfer news, as he transferred hair from another part of his body.

definately agree on that ,though if you don`t invest in the playing staff you tend to find yourself relegated

They've managed to avoid replacing any of Waggott, David Lowe, Keith Downing, Arnor Sigurdsson, or indeed most of the other departures in recent months, so if they can manage with not replacing Dolan they will be quite happy. Remember the priority here isn't on replacing people or getting better, it is about cutting costs and doing the bare minimum required to sustain the operation and minimal cost and expense. If they think they can manage it by not signing anyone, or by bringing in a low cost loan or short term signing, that's where they will look. I'm still convinced that Waggott's removal was cost cutting and they will only 'replace' him with a nonentity box ticker if the rigours of compliance with the rules and regulations get too much and they need someone to front it up and provide a facade whilst dealing with the formalities.

Maybe we were hedging his potential compensation figure for his replacement and now that's not come about, we're snookered.

Looks like Rudy picked up a thing or two whilst shadowing Waggott.

I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing, probably the opposite, signings have generally come out of the blue.

I think I’ve worked out where he’s got the figure from… 90,000 euros (not pounds) per year is the figure set by UEFA* The per year is not the length of contract at the new club it’s the time spent at the former club between the ages of 12 and 21. The above isn’t payable for Dolan as he is too old (turned 23 four days too soon) under the relevant FIFA regulation. *This is for clubs deemed by UEFA to be ‘category 1’ - lower category = lower compensation. edited to add link (first table in document): https://digitalhub.fifa.com/m/4c9ae72afc774ad8/original/Circular-1936_RSTP-categorisation-of-clubs-and-registration-periods_EN.pdf

Exactly. Watching England is the pinnacle foe me.

just another **** up in a long 15 years of **** ups,if we knew he was`nt signing then he should have been made available for transfer,we`de have made more than the measly compensation we are getting,i`ve lost count of the number of players who have left for nothing

I think they plan on taking the Ledley King approach…
