  1. Past hour
  2. Im not sure he does look capable to be a regular. He is a midfielder, he started one game at right back and got sent off. Mind you, this club dont care about capability.
  3. Interesting , I wonder if Val has had enough yet ??
  4. The price they paid for the club was nowhere near all the money Jack and then his trust put in. Why do they think they should get every penny of their money back. Dickheads.
  5. I expect Brittain to leave with Montgomery taking his place. The lad looks capable enough. Low earner replaces high earner and a possible fee for Brittain too. It's almost inevitable
  6. Should probably start a thread on how soon Ismael will be pissed off enough with the clowns to leave. The way the transfer window is shaping up it could be before the season...
  7. He joined us from Man U. Was one of our early guests on the podcast & was always very helpful to BRFCS. The day after he left, Rovers unfollowed us on Twitter which was a level of petty I always begrudgingly admired…😆
  8. The thing that they have to realise is there's three scenarios 1. We get PL money and they stand a chance of clawing their money back - but they need to run the club properly to do that 2. We stay in the championship and they hold out for their 200m but end up pumping in more and more money to maintain a championship club and before long 200 becomes 300 becomes 400 3. They stop putting money in, we slide down the leagues and suddenly they're asking for £200m for a league 2 team. That £200m is dead money. They need to write it off.
  9. Managers like Cooper and O'Neil were out of our reach, according to the 3 stooges. Let's see if Boro have any genuine ambition with their next appointment
  10. Middlesbrough just sacked Carrick, no big surprise I wonder if Steve Cooper or Rob Edwards are the most likely options there. That leaves Boro, Bristol City and QPR(?) on the look out for new managers.
  11. Today
  12. He'll likely leave this window because the club want rid of him. He's at an age we don't want to be giving contracts out, he's on a wage that we are looking to cut, we have allowed his contract to run down without renewing it and we want to get our hands on the hard cash that only he and a few others will be able to command from other clubs. The fact he has had a good season merely means even more of a desire to cash in from Rovers and potentially more interest from rivals. We don't want to renew his contract, or anyone else's, hence no talks, as confirmed by Travis, Tronstad and Brittain in recent interviews. In a normal world he would be under contract for another 3 years already, that's what a normal football club would have done by now and there's absolutely no reason why we couldn't have done that and he would have signed, had we really wanted to.
  13. Jackson is merely reporting what's going on. We've let too many players go for free so I think it's sensible from the club's pov to grab a fee while we can. I'm sure he's being touted around by his agent and has better offers than what he's getting here. Would be great if we can renew his contract but I fully expect Brittain to leave this window after the season's he's just had.
  14. What's the starting point for 'credible offers' though? If the Venkys want their £200m back (I remain unconvinced it's all their money, but I digress) I can't see any of us having such contacts - nor is the club worth anything like that. It's an easy bar for the (now two) stooges to set though, knowing nobody is going to clear it.
  15. Would there be any legs in engaging other supporter bases who are / have gone through similar owner issues? Blackpool, Charlton, Reading, Pompey, Coventry even Liverpool fans to form some form of solidarity statement or actions? Getting a huge supporter base to make a bit of noise such as Liverpool fans would attract a lot of interest I would imagine
  16. The wiriting is on the wall - Brittain goes and then Travis and Tronstrad ask themselves why bother, an inevitable tatty bye to all 3. IMO, bottom 3 come September and marooned at bottom by December.
  17. I know the coalition has succeeded in driving Waggott out and are now gunning for the other two. I don't know if it is common knowledge yet, or even significant, but the house in at area where Pasha lives, appears to have been vacated.
  18. Just a recap Two and a half months ago we had No Coalition. We had Jack a brfcs poster reaching out and hitting a brick wall to try and get something moving. His passion and drive was something I felt I could get involved with and many others felt the same and also joined to form a powerful voice. Fast forward to present day. Every supporter group bar one and we are trying to get this one is part of the Coalition. Our first action was applying pressure on Suhail, Waggott and Gestede with the total vote of no confidence. This lead to the three coming out into the open and one has now gone. The pressure on the other two will remain. The global press our now covering our story and desire for the removal of the Raos and their band of merry men. Our story is going back into parliament and we've now got the MPs backing the Coalition. We've so much going on across a near 30 person panel it's quite extraordinary in such a short space of time. Things evolve by the minute and it's hard graft, extremely hard graft as our family time and in some cases taking days of work is being totally used up to force a better future. We are still in our infancy and many things need to be agreed, formulated and developed. We have no funds , just hard grafting people trying to make a positive difference for something we commonly share, our club. Given the democratic make up (we don't need politics) we have to balance everything and get a majority buy in on all things. No one person leads the coalition, it's a collective group of people. Anybody can get involved and shape it's future. There really is no blue print for the journey we are on. Other clubs supporters actually use previous Rovers supporter actions for their blueprints. I think we've come a long way in a short space of time, but have a long way to go. Its going to have it's bumps on the way, as we are all human. We are all just football supporters equal to the next and don't have all the answers.
  19. Wharton is far better than jobe. I know which one I'd take
  20. You are right, we nearly go to the playoffs twice.
  21. I have always maintained it is because they have something to hide, as nothing else makes any sense at all.
  22. Selling Brittain for say £3m and getting in Dramaeh for £1m and less wages would be right up this lot's street. Cooney hasn't been credibly linked. Definitely either Trav or Tonstrad, Trav is my guess.
