Thank you.

Who cares tbh. Is that what we measure it FFS. Scholes was a great player and highly rated by Sir Alex Ferguson, his team mates and opponents. No way is Wharton better and I would suggest him being an ex Rovers is tainted your opinion

At least we got to keep Adam Wharton for a ‘good few years’, certainly wasn’t bundled out the door on the cheap after a few dozen starts (before he’d even turned 20).

Dazzle camouflage 😆

Regardless of any potential clauses, appearance triggers or anything like that, he must be our highest earner and the club will absolutely not be standing in his way if there is a chance to get him off the books. As you say, these types of situations have been consistent with the current ownership and it would not surprise me in the slightest if they have undermined the manager and told Cantwell to seek pastures new for the January window, to get him off the books.

Yep but from their point of view it is nearly transfer window time and all that means is another opportunity to raise a few quid, earn bonuses and get the wage bill reduced. Top of the tree there is Cantwell. Probably top earner and likely to fetch a couple of million with 18 months left on his deal. The gangsters running the club will be salivating at the prospect of getting him out the door in the next 8 weeks and in one move meet their target. Reference to relegation suggests that league position/status is a measure of performance here, there's no evidence that anyone from ownership down has ever had any interest in league positions.

'Others' vote for Ossie please. ty.

Could be a payment to Rangers after so many appearances

In the middle of a relegation battle and possibly looking at offloading one of our best Players? Its a fookin madhouse.

No matter how substantial (or as is more likely, unsubstantial) Cantwells wage is in comparison to wages at other Championship clubs, he will be Rovers highest earner, and probably by some distance Agree, we will not renew his contract, and are waiting for the most opportune moment to sell I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if based on his early season form, someone has already done a deal with both him and Rovers for him to move in January, and as part of the agreement, Rovers have agreed not to to play him so he doesn't get injured

or 44 league appearances Either way, 50 sounds like a potential trigger number, if one exists of course

I’ve told you, you’re right, Adam Wharton is far better than Paul Scholes.

Very best footballers like Gabriel Heinze

By the way Ryan Giggs won it once in 20 years, Schemichel never won it, maybe, just maybe because it was an era of the very best footballers at that club which Scholes was obviously one of. But ok, if the metric to you is POTY over a sustained career at the very top winning everything in sight (I.e it’s a team sport) and you know, your own eyes, then fine, ‘Adam Wharton is far better.’

Liverpool didn't start POTY till 2001, Rangers till 2007. Regardless, I never claimed that Souness was an elite footballer & one of the greatest players I've ever seen, like you said about Scholes that even Man United fans didn't rate that highly

Second Division at the time, so like I said.

Knowing this regime, I think it's something as simple as they didn't know back in the summer and all of a sudden in the last 6 weeks or so somebody has cottoned on that we're coming close to this being an issue. All too familiar with things like that happening here.

He was Boro's player of the year in 1974.

I'd be surprised if Cantwell was here beyond January to be honest. We've seen first hand over years now what the people running the club are all about and what their priorities are. Cantwell in no way shape or form fits the 'model' they are imposing and that's before we speculate as to his wage, which is rumoured to be substantial. No way on earth they are renewing or improving a big earner contract so they'll be looking at him, half way through his deal, and the question will be is January or the summer the time to sell? It staggers me that some people still seem to think this sort of thing isn't happening and that there's no way there could be more to it than meets the eye. There's been more than meets the eye on most of the departures over the last few years. Tends to be when it's the club and those running it trying to force people out to achieve their own agendas.

About 60 or so seats left now

Tupac - Life Goes On

Depends who you ask 😅 Souness never won one in his career as a top flight footballer either, like I said, daft.

Doris the tea lady

How is it daft? The supporters that watch him week in & week out vote for the best player & he didn’t win it once! So it’s your opinion & one Zidane quote vs Man United supporters who watched every minute of his career. How long do people have to be part of the brfcs forums before they’re respected as much as you?

Nobody would contemplate conspiracy theories if our owners and admin weren't such liars.
