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?

He wasn't piss poor, I thought he read the game quite well, but his legs have clearly gone.
