Also Max Alleyne from Man City linked. 20yr old Centre back on loan

@Lancaster Rover do you know anything about this consortium?: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cwy399dr3g3o

"No fee needed." Jurassic Park!

Wait till chaddy wakes up from his night shift. He'll definitely get excited trying to put everyone back in their boxes 😉

7 games moved for TV between October-January, including our anniversary game against Derby. https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2025/july/29/sky-selections-confirmed/

Warhurst was the most versatile player I've ever seen in the sense he was excellent in every position. Most "utility men" are OK but not that great in any position. Warhurst was classy and composed at CB, comfortable at RB, cultured in midfield and didn't he have an insane scoring spell as a striker before going us from Wednesday?

Anyone who is around 40 years old would have a very similar team as there best 11. Pedersen is an interesting one, for me though there's probably 3 I would have in front of him on the left.

Brittains replacement sorted 😉

Finlay Wilkinson a 17 year old right back from Accy

Who's the player on nixons news? Presume it's an u21 signing.

In my squad Pederson gets a look in for sure

Hang on, so they want to focus on BwD (why, it's an arbitrarily drawn border from 1974, what possible relevance does that have to modern fanbases, but anyway)... but they don't even know what postcodes are in BwD to start with? What an absolute bloody rabble they are down there, beggars belief they actually try to masquerade as professionals, as 'Head of' this, 'Head of' that. Complete joke from top to bottom.

41 years old and this is my lifetime team..... Friedel Berg Hendry Nelsen Le Saux Bentley Tugay Dunn Duff Bellamy Shearer

I think something like that would be the only saviour. The club is never going to be big enough to climb the football ladder like Wrexham etc, so its never going to get into the big money leagues. Always likely to be a loss maker. The only viable buyer would be if a fan of some sort took it over. Must be a similar story with most lower league teams.

Just another reason why we need rid of this these rats, its much bigger than just the first 11. Our fanbase is strong, but it won't be forever with bonkers decisions like this ☝️ VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. Hope you're well by the way Mike 👍

That's been the policy for a decade.

Which is why I have to chuckle at Palace falling foul of the rules in Europe. I wish nothing good on that club.

Montgomery, who looks to be ahead of Buckley in the pecking order based on pre season. If I was splitting hairs, then It will be Wharton or McLoughlin partnering Hyam or Carter, based on Ismael saying he wants a left footed centre back on the left etc

I'm not worried about the silence in transfers and or even our business so far - I'm content enough. The worry is that we only want 2/3 more and then the fact that Britain looks off with question marks over our club captain. Pasha is running us into the ground!

I think all will come out in the open very soon....

He won player of the year too in 93-94 above Shearer, who was banging them in weekly. Batty was an exceptional player. I'd have him in before Sherwood any day. I'll go with a formation fit for 2025; Friedel Salgado Nelsen Henchoz Le Saux Batty Tugay Warhurst Bellamy Shearer Duff I have Warhurst in there as he'd have been an England regular without injuries. He had it all. Proof of that was him being signed by Sheff Wednesday from Oldham as a central defender, they stuck him up front in a pinch and he scored goal after goal. Rovers signed him and he played central midfield like he'd always played there.

They are simply not interested in fan involvement with initiatives...its either our way or the highway is the mantra. Its just horrible the way we are being run,just horrible.

State of the squad as it stands then: Toth Pears Brittain Hyam Carter Ribeiro Alebiousu Wharton McLoughlin Pickering Trav Tron tavares buckley Forshaw Hedges Cantwell Kargbo Tyjon De Neve Yuki Gueye Not sure Ive missed anyone off? Do we need anymore cms (unless we sell one)? seems a winger and cb and a 10 are most needed, especially with carters injury woes and wharton being out for ages. 2 signings of actual quality weve heard of would be nice, but not a chance in hell that will happen. I imagine we will be using the kids when needed as they want those extra minutes being ticked off... I also expect 1 or 2 on loan. Id be amazed if 3 more aren't signed by end of September. With our injury records it needs at least 3 at least. Scary looking at it on paper, where are those goals coming from...

Can't wait for this exciting summer to start...
