So you're shifting the ground now. You're going to judge Rovers not on performances on the pitch as you said you would but what you think  will be the performances on the pitch sometime or other! Absolutely ridiculous.

It certainly seems like Gestede has been given full control over this summers transfer business.

Make no mistake, Pasha is showing his true snake form here, letting Gestede off the lead puts all the pressure on him and takes the focus away from himself.

When this all goes tits up, he shoves RG in front of the firing squad and gives the order "ready, aim, fire".

He goes back to his masters with the solutions and the cycle restarts again.

This appears to be true as agent ozo called suhail yesterday over a player and was given Rudy's number as points of contact on all transfers ins and outs

I think we've performed ok given the upheaval in certain players leaving. I think results will start to get better. Ridiculous, I know...

Surely this would be unlikely? The Indian Hindu majority (which I assume the Venkys hail from) don't exactly have the best relationship with Muslims. Would they tolerate such a strong symbol of Islam by making the club halal only? 

Do you seriously think they have a clue what type of meat is being served at the STC? Come off it.

Rudy is clearly pretty much being left to do as he pleases and the only person who is going to over-rule him (in theory) is Suhail 🤣. Its essentially like having a toddler babysitting a newborn.

Who said otherwise?

Merely illustrating how rubbish they are.

We haven't performed OK because "certain players" have left. Not surprising because they were the best ones!

And I know you think results will start to get better, you keep saying it, but that's the triumph of desire over reality. No evidence for it.

Come off it. If a contract depends on it and there's nothing better in the offing, what choice does a player have?

What contract depends on it? These are players no longer contracted to rovers?

You said my views of what happens on the pitch must converge with Glen's. They don't.

As for your second sentence, that's just not very nice.

Exactly what about my posts suggests to you that I'm a club plant? That they're different from the common opinions on here? Are you really that paranoid?

Is stating facts grounds for paranoia?

Also being paranoid is worrying about something that hasn't necessarily happened. 

There's plenty to worry about that has happened without being 'paranoid'

[rovers11]

A 2/10 window for me. I like the look of some of our new signings but it will no doubt take them time to adapt. They needed to learn from experienced champ players and be integrated into the team slowly.

But now they'll be thrown in before they are ready and it's sink or swim time. Us football fans are harsh judges, and many write players off if they don't hit the ground running, and then it's tough for a player to come back from that.

It's the biggest gamble we've ever taken in the transfer market.

The owners will be absolutely delighted with how the window has gone and the board will be getting a pat on the back today.

Didn't. Just pointed out how illogical you are.

And I've finished! not carrying on this crap all day.

I'm talking about the paranoia in thinking I'm a club plant.

In simple words, the contract they signed contained an NDA arrangement so that can't tell when they are players and it would cost them to break i when they've left. You're not making sense.

In any case they have a new club, a new future to look forward to , (thank God we're out of it).

I hope they aren't expecting a flurry of positive questions!

All footballers sign nda in their contracts

the nda covers sensitive information not to be disclosed ie particulars about training / budgets / contracts etc 

what they don’t cover is players putting out statements to defend themselves against allegedly false allegations so in travis case we have been told by many that he ‘didn’t refuse to train or play and that he was banished from first team activity’ so there is every opportunity for a player to come out with something again see Isak see wissa 

[Emerald Isle Rover]

As for the club posting that ‘send us your questions’ that’s just a load of bs it’s so they can cherry pick what they want to ask

proper journalists should be able to ask and challenge accordingly not some pre scripted bs

That doesn't make any sense because the two guys they are letting run wildfire through the club are Muslim i believe.

So like everything else they just aren't bothered.

When you sign players of that faith or any other you have to provide the correct food for them, no problem with that.  However if it's being enforced on everyone by that arrogant tosspot then that is a complete no no.

No wonder so many want out if such draconian rules are now being enforced.

[Lancaster Rover]

Personally see it as a 1 or 2/10 at best looking at the window as a whole.

The squad looks significantly weaker across the board and in terms of problem positions none have been addressed or a superior replacement brought in for a departing player. I look at the incomings and question how many would have got in last years starting 11 pre-christmas. 

Not only are the new players (IMO) weaker technically than their predecessors they are significantly weaker in terms of senior minutes played at an equivalent or higher level, which is of more worry to me personally given the demands of the championship.

There is a difference between having a Muslim employee, player, physio etc - I assume they would be non discrimitory on that front, and allowing such a visible Islamic symbol with draconian rule such as only halal food being served. 

Maybe I'm wide of the mark, but I can't see Suhail going for that.
