matt83 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Not signing someone, linked with someone else and not signing them. It all feels a little pointless and futile and as long as the Venkys remain it’s just rearranging the deckchairs on the titanic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevidgeBlue Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 1 hour ago, JamieUK said: I don't expect we'll see any ins or outs until after this court case - spend money and there'll be an argument of why do you need to send this much if you have money for transfers. Sell players and bring money in = why do you need to send this much when you've just recouped £x. Good point. That'll leave us what, a week to get any business done? Not a lot of time - good job we have a DOF who will be able to get deals done quickly at the end of the window! Oh wait.............. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who can guess what mad shit we’ve done now? He basically sounds like he is pleading with the club to sell nobody and just recruit which is absolutely correct given the situation we are in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkBRFC Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I wonder if something is in negotiations with one or two of our players, for JDT to keep repeating "I can't imagine the club will make the squad weaker before anyone comes in" just doesn't sit well with me, like he knows damn well that's what's going to happen and he's calling them out on it again. Let's be honest JDT has shown he doesn't give a shit about upsetting anyone higher than him with his constant swipes at Waggott and I think it's great. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomphil Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 In a DoF model i assume they can actively try and sell players or just flog one if a big bid comes in all without any input from the Head Coach. Bit different when a manager runs everything so i expect JDT ain't got much clue what is going on and will be hearing rumours and hearsay like the rest of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrived in England, comes on as a sub days later at the Millennium Stadium in a cup final, gets a Worthington Cup Winners medal, played about 300 minutes of football, scored two tap ins and left. Legendary form compared to Telalovic or Ennis. Edited January 19 by Angry_Pirate 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right back to square one now as weak as it was when Steele was struggling and Raya wasn't ready, pathetic amateur stuff really. Yes no one would be complaining if Leo was mustard but he isn't and we aren't paid to scout, recruit and bring in these guys and whoever was is either naive or just ticking a box. Speaking of Raya........anyone know what's happening with his loan to Arsenal being made permanent? - thought that was supposed to bring in some sell-on clause cash to underwrite some transfer activity.........[or pay off the Indian tax-man obvs] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aletheia Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I'm sure the thread has moved on but just caught up from several pages ago... On 17/01/2024 at 16:12, Leonard Venkhater said: Same here. One of my Rovers supporting mates, a fan for nearly 50 years told me he had to stop going because it was making him too angry and depressed. I guess we can all take the natural ebb and flow of football fortune, but this is an abuse. And Suprbrfc That's exactly it. None of this feels natural. It's a terrible situation in the context of a football fan, which nobody understands apart from people on here. That’s what I was getting at when I posted something similar quite a while ago now. Zombie club. We can delude ourselves on matchday and get excited from moment to moment but it’s not real -( I do understand it involves livelihoods etc) – but it’s limbo, existing but not existing. Or as Leonard says, fan abuse. You can be a poor club and still feel ok, IF you feel that there is purpose, a heart at the top. Anyway, I’ll be there tomorrow ;-) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJW Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 10 hours ago, B16Rover said: Hes 35 but presumably is being signed to come on at 60-70 mins and give us an outlet up front that can time a header and control a ball The optimist says he'd be on less than Gally and we may be able to use some money on the wage bill for another signing - but that's wildly optimsiticb And defend set pieces which none of our defenders seem capable of doing right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDT has clearly has an input into transfer in or out. Its why I think Gallagher is staying until end of the season. Also Ennis until we sign a replacement for him 3 hours ago, simongarnerisgod said: expect a mutual termination soon,jdt is`nt going to put up with this ****show much longer and why should he I deffo don't see that happening.
