I'd be 'returning' my season ticket (if I'd bought one).

If Mowbray came back I'd give up on football altogether 

Chaddy yesterday was banging on about Kimberley being scout and everything planned for the season.

Today we find out he's gone.

Park coming in Waggotts  mate, can only be a negative in my eyes.

Gally needs selling

why would anyone get exciting over a technical director type appointment anyway? 

Bro you created this thread 😂😂😂😂

If it were football manager and we actually were good at player trading my moves would be

• Pickering sold and replaced
• Hyam sold and replaced
• Pears sold and replaced 
• Wahlstedt sold and replaced 
• Garrett sold and replaced 
• Sigursson sold and replaced 
• Gallagher sold and replaced 
• Markanday sold and replaced 
• Telalovi sold and replaced
• Hedges sold and replaced

I don't rate any of the above players - so need replacing.

Then bring in additionally:

• 1 RB
• 2 CMs
• 2 RW
• 1 LW
• 2 ST

Just to actually make this a championship squad

This always seems to happen. We "overhaul" things on the scouting side, initially there are delays and then a reliance on old targets from the previous regime and then a couple of years in, people leave and we start from scratch.

Agreed. What happened to that Prestigious European network that was being revamped?

There's no structure or direction at the club it's mental

Yes it has been mixed bag from our scouting team but at the day the blame is on the Director of football and head coach for signings. 

Eh? I'm so confused.

How can they be blamed for having budgets cut.

Let's not forget we had O'Brien lined up and signed - we'd have made playoffs with a worse squad than Mowbray ever had. Not forgetting you absolutely worshipped Mowbray.

Did Finneran renew or did he not?

Waggott can't removed him, Venkys can. Venkys want this director of football setup and still really in place but splitting into 2 roles. 

So if he didn't think we needed why did Mark Venus do it for a couple of years behind the scenes?

Is this fact? Lol

Ah so the positive news is what? A loan from crystal palace ffs

So it’s an anxious wait til morning for us all here in silly season.

Will Nicko bring news to get the angry mob lighting their burning torches, or will he say something to suggest he isn’t the Devil incarnate?
Coming soon, will the blue on our new shirt be slightly the wrong shade? 😱

Hopefully it's Waggott, Venkys and Eustace leaving

I think this news will be John Ruddy is set to sign for us(just a guess by the way, no inside info)

We know you don't have inside info, you've just copied what Nicko said about 2 months ago.

I get where you're coming from but to be fair Parks record at rovers appeared to be good. 

Although he did seem to jump ship pretty quick after Mowbray left! Whether that was because he didn't want to be here or because he'd already got word he'd not be needed once a dof comes in

He left pretty quickly and he's a Mowbray and Waggott man, so in that case I'm absolutely not a fan.

Venus probably going to be head of housing development. I mean technical director

This will be a good test of this account...

John Park?

Left the club when GB came in, Waggot going back to Park potentially...

Ah brill, a Mowbray and Waggott man, what could go wrong.

Quite specific with this tweet, I guess we'll see how genuine it is soon enough.

Seen it.

Who could that be?

Phillips rode a wave of hype reviews from the u21's and even though i don't remember him doing too much wrong in his few games, he certainly didn't set the world alight, a la Phil Jones.

Reading away stands out to me, bullied by a very shit side, but he was 17 at the time.

I have never said Phillips was wrong to leave the Rovers. I am saying he was wrong to go to Spurs.

I might be in the minority but I didn't rate Phillips as highly as some.

Any update on the scholars? Is Finneran there?

Is it me or does this all seem a bit fishy?

Absolutely, someone has reported them as when I went to follow it warned me about the information or something.

When having head of recruitment and head of technical it is imperative that they get financial backing from owners. Otherwise their roles are next to obsolete, with few exceptions

E.g. when GB was in role.

Didn't you previously say that the DOF/head coach set up was a 'proper football structure' ? That ended well!

What makes you think, that under these owners and administrators, any structure would work?

In 2 years time, we'll be back to square 1. Again.

He just follows literally everything the club do and says it's the best step forward.

Does it with transfers too.

Even I don't have a Technical Director in Football Manager. I'm not a savage.

I do tbf, does all my staff recruitment other than DoF, HOYD and assistant manager.
