I guess it is hard not to link this with the apparent waste of £7 million !

Brilliant. Made me laugh out loud!

Suspend your disbelief!

Agreed. I think this illustrates the importance of building on a good nucleus now, rather than delaying and-inevitably-having to build from a weaker base...

Any stuff about Rovers-well almost any-is good for creating/maintaining the "brand loyalty" lol

Good point. I know it doesn't feel comfortable or right, but we haven't heard anything from the club about their reasoning...so I will hold my judgement...

He is also removing Balaji's appendix next week. Jack of all trades is our Ben...

Hhaha...Anyway, "that tackle" reads as a code... like the Brazilian Dennis Irwin or the Scottish Wayne Rooney. The new Gary Birtles anyone?!

Apologies, if posted by someone else, but an ITK told me that Daddy persuaded one club to give him a contract, saying he would secretly re-imburse them!

That is what really grates about splurging so much on "one for the future/possibly never/certainly not now" etc

As someone posted a while ago, stand still and we go backwards. I am concerned that we are going to waste any momentum from last year and that the powers that be have decided on maintaining the club, bobbing around lower/mid- table. Even in the pre Walker days, we spent many seasons challenging for the top positions. In the 6 years since 2012, we have never been remotely in contention....just saying...

No...Man of Mystery!

Suhail...the missing years!

Maybe, Venky's have installed an arras...

Suhail..Pasha...has he yet another name or have I missed something?

...and Himmler started out, as an altar boy! ( so did Agnew!)

I still remember Cheston's "performance" in the supporters' meeting, when he was trying to field important questions about the role of the one in the shadows. Later, someone told me that Mr Non- Work Permit was actually in the shadows in the room next door to the meeting!

That is awful!

Well, you know the problem with social media and "nasty pricks" lol...I dread to think what people are posting. Have you ever read the Rovers Facebook page? There are a few pearlers on that! My point is whether the player was signed by someone, totally unconnected with team affairs, as a vanity project, DESPITE what TM obviously required in other areas of the pitch.

Either way, it is far from good.

I think one point is what does it say about a manager, if he accepts "others" choosing players to sign. Another, perhaps more palatable, is about a manager making a big mistake in the transfer market.

Blimey, I thought that was Woody Guthrie about Pretty Boy Floyd

As damning indictments go......

and Glen Keeley...I think it was his first club..

That's the same with so many incidents in a match to be fair. Many is the time that people have given me new detail the following day at work about a game I was at the previous evening. A long time ago, one of mine cried, when he got home and saw a recording of the infamous Diouf penalty incident in the Darwen End. Oh the injustice!
