100 % agreed. Money is tight and we're spaffing it away on Forshaw. Surely the money could be far better spent. What next? Cauley Woodrow?

The most interesting thing now will be not who we sign but who we manage to keep and how long Ismael will stick around before he starts engineering his exit.

A league 1 player, most probably where we're heading soon.

Iv already made my peace with the pending season ahead and the circus that is the venkys/pasha run rovers. Buckle up going to be a very bumpy off season

No real problem with Forshaw re-signing he'll just do the job he did before although we'll probably lose Batth now and the need for experience has pushed this.

Surely if he isn't going to get a game then why not just sign a coach? I don't get this signing. Terrible terrible signing

Get used to it ...

im`e expecting harry chapman to rock up next week as dolans replacement😁

'Great human being' claxon. Is Mowbray back?

"He accepts his role" Obviously going to be a bit part player by the sounds of it

I mean I've always thought that in the past but it's been so blatant for quite a while now it's coming over as malicious.

I was only joking Pasha!

NWA - Fuck Tha Police

You’re a memorable poster, what can I say!

Is Val pushing for these signings or is it a "well Val it's that or nothing pal" situation?

To do what exactly? The owners simply don’t care

His contract would’ve run till 30th of June

Yup.

I don’t think anyone but you ever interpreted it as that, but don’t let me stop you go reading posts from 6 years ago if it’ll get the sand out your arse.

Wouldn't be surprised. This has to be a(nother) line in the sand moment surely. Enough is enough.

He signed a 3.5 year contract at a club where the previous manager walked out because he wasn't backed financially. He's not daft. We'll have to pry Ismael out of here - he's here until every penny of that contract is paid.

Forshaw is a ridiculous signing

On the plus side at least it's not a Downing situation again - where we dallied with his renewal, he missed all of pre-season and simply never got up to speed

We didn't want to pay him for an additional 7 weeks?
