Y'all love your straw men. Setting expectation at Playoffs or bust is hilarious. We're clearly not that club under these owners - look at the money Wrexham and Birmingham have spent. We also have 3 parachute payment teams and Sheffield United hanging around too. We'll be mid table, adrift of the automatic promotion spots by Christmas and just generally making up the numbers unless Gestede is a genius and all of these new signings are excellent.

because the website is rarely kept fully updated by someone who cares The same page named Ryan Kidd as U18s manager throughout last season despite Darragh Tuffy having held the post for a year

Agree...... but I thought this particular article was fair and balanced. Don't think the author is "falling for" any of it.

Hmm...I think there is a lot more to this than we know.. As well as "life changing money", I am also smelling a trail of bad feeling e.g...Gestede, Suhail, Eustace, Leslie Fielding's "redundancy" etc.. Looks like a clear out of all those, who challenged the new orthodoxy or were not "aligned"...

Waggott is still listed at Companies House...

This stuff writes itself...😆 https://www.rovers.co.uk/club/staff/

Why then would he still be listed as an employee whereas Waggott is not? This does need clarifying. One poster on here suggested he'd had personal issues to deal with.

So 7th with a manager not backed in January, behind the scenes arguing and power battles. Surely, now that we are all aligned we would expect at least the same or above.

Farewell Trav, you shall be missed.

From the article... His newly found “renaissance” might have encouraged the Rovers’ hierarchy to look at offering a more favourable contract in an honest attempt to retain the player’s services. Obviously not.

My thoughts exactly. Wrong way round. Travis always put it in for us on the pitch. Buckley didn't.

Glad the travis saga is done with, really liked him on and off the pitch. Certainly feels like a new era has begun on the pitch. I’ve been very critical but feel the squad is starting to take shape with some exciting unknown additions. Hopefully add a striker and they can do the fans proud.

I dunno about it being a record but it’s certainly a bit weird. Screams of a lack of imagination to me.

Gardening leave is likely the obvious answer, paid to not be here, Schrodinger's coach

Is it a record for any manager signing 5 players from your ex-club the very next season?

Depends how low tbh. Results are important but if we lose more than last season games it will also be about the manner in which the players perform which will also matter to me. The early and late goal are something that annoy me under VI.

Never nice to see such an important figure in another team's colours, but know that's exactly where Pasha, Gestede etc want your anger directed. Travis is not the problem.

Greedy for not accepting a sub par contract here like everyone else? But a crap player moving to Saudi Arabia is emotional?

Buckley message made me feel emotional, listening to that I just thought greedy ****, hope Eustace is sacked by Christmas and you all get rooted to the foot of the table

The Man Who....wasn't offered a proper contract and forced out the door? Can't believe any fans fall for their tripe.

The non-reversed halves in those highlights trigger me something fierce. It's just not a Rovers kit.

Do you think he has a permanent ban from the ground? even when he is part of the visiting team? 😉

Notice how it doesn't say that he's welcome back at Ewood any time like "Bucko" is.

Travis is ‘welcome back at Ewood any time’ then?

Top class message from Trav. Wish him all the best.
