I expect a few of them will get moved out pretty quickly like the last lot and they'll bring in a few more and try again.

Fans just say oh it's ok only cheap punts some work some don't, fine but who benefits from the revolving door policy ?

Because it isn't the team or club it's the wheeler's and dealers bringing them in and out in quick succession who do.

Lots of lovely commission

Anyone still think the squad is stronger than last season?

I would be surprised if they do!

I don't think building a stronger squad is on their agenda - IMO, it's all about slashing costs and getting rid of the 'dissenters' in the club whether it be players, football staff or other staff.

[RevidgeBlue]

Id be surprised if much actual in the flesh scouting where someone with an experienced eye watches a potential target over a number of games takes place these days.

The only one of the summer signings who passes the "eye test" is Alebiosu. He's looked decent since minute one of his first game and seems to be getting better.

The rest not so much so - and that's being somewhat kind in certain cases.

This honestly should be the first question asked to Rudy every time he interviews.

[MarkBRFC]

Don't think you will be seeing any interviews with Rudy for a while now.

I think you're right there, the gutless fucking coward.

"[this afternoons] clash comes too soon for the likes of Hayden Carter or Jake Garrett, who remain weeks away from returning to match action, whilst Moussa Baradji is a longer-term absentee."

So not expected back in the next few weeks. More a longer term absentee. 

Nice one Rudy.

[davulsukur]

According to Ismael, in 10 days, we'll have a clear time frame on Baradji's return.

There is only BBC Radio Lancs Andy Bayes there. who else would be there? You aren't going to Sky Sports there or national newspapers journalists there

[G Somerset Rover]

Carter out for ‘weeks’. 

How’s that decision to let Hyam go without bringing in a replacement going, Rudy?

Twat.

Easiest one possible to do, but at least its one done. 

Think he will be decent in league one.

Let's see if they get anyone over the line that isn't a Rovers fan.

Will point out that this is just a 1 year extension (albeit with an option to take it to an extra year), highly likely to be on the same terms as previous, given his injury history and connection to the club was probably easy enough to get done

But it is a rare positive nonetheless

Indeed. Ironic that the last two ‘senior’ renewals they have done (with more than a few months left on their existing deal) has been for two Rovers fans!
