We've seen this before. First up he will be assured that he will get a good chunk of cash from sales to reinvest. Then it won't appear due to admin errors etc.

That's a good point, reminds me of the Shearer era when it was announced after most people got their STs that he'd be leaving for 'Home'

Plenty more shit to come folks.

Well we are desperate for 3.9 mill and hey presto Nixon is trying to sell Travis to Wrexham.

He's doing the clubs dirty work like always and getting the ball rolling for them and getting Travs name out there.

2015 Cairney

2025 Travis

Both totally illogical and stupid concepts to most people but at Venky Rovers we need a quick injection of cash so there we go.

A decade on and nothing has changed.

[simongarnerisgod]

it really will be the lowest point in rovers history if we start touting players for sale  to the likes of wrexham

[Forever Blue]

As soon as Gestede said a few weeks ago we were after a box-to-box midfielder cos we didn’t have one it was fair to assume Travis might be on his way. 
 

 

 

[davulsukur]

If they sell Travis to Wrexham, I'll be absolutely fucking fuming.

Pretty sure he also said any money generated from player sales wouldn't be reinvested into the squad. So, why would we sell anyone?

They nearly succeeded 13 months ago but Eustace was a far better manager, than they thought he was... 

I also think Val will be off sooner rather than later!

Remember when everyone laughed when Eustace was linked with Derby. 

Travis will be sold.

I said the exact same thing on twitter

The answer to this should be along the lines of 'to strengthen the squad as the player won't sign a new contract' but unfortunately it's more likely to be 'to keep overheads being paid and reduce the financial burden on the owners'

I posted about an hour ago that i thought we are not that far off rock bottom - how much evidence does any supporter need!?

Eustace from a top 6 club to a bottom 3 club, Travis maybe to Wrexham and make no mistake there will be more 'headlines'.  Think the writing is on the wall about Brittain and Tronstrad.

With Pasha and Gestede effectively running Rovers, nothing at all would surprise me.  I shudder about their abilities for such roles - totally unsuited IMO.

Wonder what those who have bought season tickets are thinking?  Think pants have well and truly been pulled down.

Similar to last pre season, let's see what happens instead of tuning into another episode of Jackanory. 

[TimmyJimmy]

It's like picking up a new book and reading the last page first, we know who dunnit. Watching others getting excited at the thrills and spills of actually reading the thing is comical to us - we know the outcome. Been here many times before with Rovers and the transfer windows, it's pointless even going through the motions. The only new things are the interesting plot twists that explain WHY someone wasn't signed or WHY someone left but it's always Colonel Mustard in the Library who's behind things. 6 candidates for the crime, 3 in Pune and 3 in the boardroom, though I guess that doesn’t quite work now as Professor Plum has left the building.  In case you can't wait to get to the last page it ends in tears and frustration and the perpetrator gets off scot free.

Wrexham will double or treble his wages.

We have left it too late to negotiate new deals. Fully expect the quartet of Tronstad,  Brittain, Travis and Hyam to be sold.

To be replaced by loans or older players on 1 year  contracts. 

Venkys out

All by design.

There is no interest in negotiating new deals here.

A first team player hasn't signed a new contact here since December 2023.

Can probably more than halve the wages of them 4 by replacing them with a couple of low cost foreign signings.

Eureka!

I've found the answer - SALT! 

Oh yeah.. what was the Question? (How do we get Venkys OUT?)

I have no doubts that they leave contract negotiations as late as possible for 2 reasons:

1. So they can go longer paying less wages.

2. Players start having half an eye on an exit, and with less than 12 months on their contracts, they are likely to garner a reasonable amount of interest. The club can sell, gain a bit of money, shift wages off the books and avoid paying players more money. Any replacement is either an academy graduate on peanuts or a new signing earning a lot less.

It's all a total circus and there is no desire to improve, just cut costs/keep them to a minimum.

[MarkBRFC]

I'm interested to see what kind of contracts any new permanent signings get this window considering that the whole first team squad is out of contract in the next two years.
