I'd be confident he was going to keep us in the division and probably nibble around the Playoffs for a bit. The signings are uninspired though. I thought the football was good under Eustace - cut his cloth accordingly.

Shearer would be seeing his contract out and leaving for nothing after being lowballed 18 months previous. Then he'd be branded as shite anyway, no pace, too many elbows.

I was right then, you didn't read my post you were replying to.

Don't waste your time or energy moaning about Derby or Eustace. Spend it moaning about the people who have allowed this situation to develop. This is professional sport. Eustace and Derby are merely taking advantage of our strife.

Why? He's clearly not being a dick about the whole thing, but if Derby offer him twice what he's on now (or even a £5k a week improvement) of course he'll entertain them.

Why wouldn’t he though? batth excellent last year (age a factor could blow up this year who knows) weimann see above brittain comfortably top 5 right backs in the league If I was a Derby fan I’d be asking more of the scouting department and the future batth / weimann / beck all likely to move on next year and they already have an aging team striker signed from America already injured and likely to miss first 5/6 games of the season I just hope there is a bidding war and we milk every last penny out of whoever gets him as it’s clear someone is going to match venkys valuation

I wonder what Shearer would sell for today. Not that we'd see any of that money anyway, but still it'd be interesting to see.

They've done well to sell 323 more considering the ridiculous hike.

Just about to post the same thing, who's the new coach/fitness guy?

That he was our best left back in decades strongly disagree but we’ve moved on from that now

Derby are really getting on my bloody nerves. I had a lot of respect for Eustace, and can’t blame him for leaving the circus, but now he feels like a vindictive ex-wife rinsing us for everything we’re worth in divorce proceedings.

Yep and the reserves will be at home.

At this rate, it is going to be Rovers V Rovers Reserves for the anniversary fixture. Hope they come in for our owners next. Free transfer of they do, so long as they take Pasha as part of the package.

With all due respect... He'll entertain whoever is willing to pay him the most and let's not pretend that's not how footballers operate.

Random numbers pricing.

He's a right winger or wing back. Never played at CB or either full back position. Plus he's out for 3 months. This is why I'm doubting the credibility of the whole story.

6 v 5 game at the end if there are.

Hopefully not true. The people at Rovers need to have some fucking business sense. Derby are essentially trying buy our league position. Fuck them off. Sell to Boro instead.

Just watching the training video just released on YouTube. Have Rovers got a new fitness coach in some Spanish guy on there i am guessing with his accent. Or is he just someone being used whilst over there

Yes, the games he was available for. I feel like you either didn't properly read or misunderstood the previous post you were replying to.

If we are to lose Brittain then at least it is good there is an auction, hopefully.. Dolan going outside English football could lose us as much as 2m in compensation. Come on Cov and Bris, you know you have too few step overs in your teams...

Refuse to believe that’s true. Can’t see Brittain entertaining Derby and doesn’t seem to be too upset on the recent training footage in Spain.

Sounds even less like he could be Brittain's replacement then. The article is talking bollocks methinks.

He’s not a CB is he??

For 20 games
