Florida Rover

Can we play "What If..." just for a moment?Let's suppose that a real live 10 million quid offer comes for Ferguson in Dec and he is shipped out;who would we like to spend the money on realistically?1 good Centre back and another good midfielder(can such an arragement be done for that little?) or just 2 new centre backs together?Discuss: Florida Rover

We are all down in the dumps but it's not as bad as trelleborg(sp?) now is it?

Enkelman,neill, amoruso,johansson,gresko,emerton,douglas,tugay,de pedro,JANSEN,bothroyd let's go Rovers!

and here is the other one for you Tony D.

Tony Diamond Inc heres one:

because it is.we really needed this to start out this way.good for sparky and good for rovers and good for jansen

I voted yes.I hope,as we all do, that Sparky produces the goods for us.Moreover,I would that this appointment would unify all the disparate groups/factions of Rovers supporters.(Fat chance huh?) It is quite simple really :we all want success.(It's just different people define success differently)Here is hoping for a long and distiguished career for Sparky in his tenure for us. Up the Rovers!

I found this tonight while searching the web on Hughes and thought it might be of interest.Basically a career recap from Soccernet.enjoy Florida Rover http://www.soccernet.com/columns/2002/0711...tjbhughsie.html

What will it take to be a fair crack of the whip on judging Matty's ability to "cut it" again at this level?3 games starting?5 games starting?half time sub for 4 straight games?I don't know.I guess in the end we all want him to come good again like we have seen him in the past. Florida Rover

Another question too,please? Is the fee 300,000 or 500,000?(Obviously either would be just fine thank you to have him rid of the wage bill)Cheers,Florida Rover

Yeah!! Tord GRIP. I'll be getting my coat now.

I hate this because I feel like we will be back in the relegation scrap that we just managed to survive last season.(It really takes a toll on our collective nerves,stomachs,etc.)I don't see how not having Cole and not replacing with a similar striker(and don't tell me dickov,please) is good for us to thrive and succeed.It is definitely a shorter leash that Souness will find himself on i feel.

Thanks all for your responses.A bit of a trip down memory lane(albeit not the best of memories ...Carsley and Wilcox??)While the remininscing is going on,does anyone remember their being any wailing and gnashing of teeth to have any of said Captains being replaced a la Ferguson over Flitty? I don't.Cheers

This may be available somewhere but I'm not sure where to dig up the old info.Here is the question who were the 7 prior captains to Gary Flitcroft?I'd be happy to look it up if directed to a proper site.Cheers

I struggle to see how it can be said that without Andy Todd we would have gone down.If you look at his 11 appearances he made for the club from Jan 2004 onwards,we lost 7 of them(with two also being draws).In fact from October 2003(which was after his loan return from burnley) and until the end of the season,he made a total of 21 appearances and again we lost 13 of those games(with 3 draws and 5 wins).I believe it a stretch to say we would have gone down without Andy Todd.A better statement would be we almost went down with Andy Todd,who left us in our hour of need due to an ill advised response to bad news.I believe we will be fortunate indeed to recoup our investment in this fellow.
