unsall Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 1 hour ago, JHRover said: Van Hecke falls into the Harrison Reed category. Clearly a good player, clearly the sort we should be investing in and building our team around, clearly attainable for a Championship club with some sensible investment. But not one that we are likely to get done because we won't pay the relatively small fee needed to get him. Even if there was some serious interest at Rovers' end we would take too long or faff about trying to drive him or Brighton down on cost whilst a rival comes in. So instead he will end up elsewhere in the Championship and then we will get stories about how we could never get him due to FFP/Parachute money or because his girlfriend wouldn't allow him to live anywhere other than the South Coast of England etc. etc. How do you know it would take a relatively small fee to get him? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roverandout Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I can see this being another lambert. Walking out after realising these penny pinching shysters have no ambition. We will never compete with venkys running (ruining) the club 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BG1492 Posted July 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2022 Team got back from Portugal what yesterday? No need for a mad panic, nobody really knows how much is going on behind the scenes & what players & clubs have been spoken to. Yes the Malmö centre half would of been a good start but we have missed out on players before and they’ve soon been forgotten about. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they both have every intention to strengthen the squad and to implement the plan they have in mind. Those two are the reason why some optimism has returned for me. I don't think the pillocks above them share that same desire though. The talk of kids, frees and loans points to it being more of the same. They seem to have a habit of saying things to get people through the door, only to turn and not live up to those words later on. Lambert had it. Existing season ticket holders have had it just last week. Don't worry, you've got an extra extension to reclaim your seat. Even if somebody else has claimed it, we'll move them elsewhere at a discounted rate. Sounds great. The reality? Said article is deleted and, apparently, that information shouldn't have been given as it was never meant to be the case in the first place. Piss off. This is why I think they will do a Lambert on JDT. Goes without saying, of course, I hope I'm way off the mark. You don’t give either JDT or GB any credit both will have done their own research when being looked at for the job I mean what kind of person doesn’t do research before being interviewed?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I read a page or two back that suggest we’ve lost out on a player due to a team with parachute payments paying more wages, I shrugged my shoulders and logged out. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swanson Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 People need to calm down, we missed out on one player? Who knows how wanted he actually was? Let's judge when the window is shut. The team was back today? JDT have assessed the squad and now know what he needs. Considering all the leagues he has played in, I bet that he have more contacts in the game than any prior Rovers manager. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDRover Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Dunno what the fuss is. I'm sure John 'the workaholic' Park left a list of potential players for us to sign that is as long as Mr. Tickle's arms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butty Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 John Parks replacement to be announced imminently, anyone any idea who it’s going to be? Hopefully whoever it is comes into the job with names for potential signings already drawn up or it could end up taking us even longer to get a few bodies through the door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Pirate Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Hate to break it to those hoping for Reda Khadra to come back... had it on very good authority that there is a mutual disinterest in a reunion. He was apparently a bit of a moaner, didnt like the cold. Also there is belief he was fit way before the end of season but downed tools and refused to accept to play a part in the run in well before out season ran its course.

A long walk needed tonight followed by a few drinks. When you have a twat in Commercial who wants to charge kids the same as adults on the basis of a seat is a seat I tend to agree. Waggott must just love the pleb. If BBD goes late in the window look no further that Waggott and his bosses not at Broughton. JDT and GB are on a hiding to nothing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
