Just on Rovers..

Don't think we will go down, not a great league -mid table -promotion not on the agenda 

Some good games; new mantra "get into 'em'", great footy for fans who like to vent spleen

More players to leave (higher earners)

Keep an eye on the fabric

How much will we pay a CEO (if there is one)

Plenty of club narrative around "transitonal, rebuilding, new project, new model, players bedding in, mid table good given the circumstances, be grateful, we'll strenthen in the summer (26) to go again....."
