TM described Fulham as scarey more fear than respect!

True but could be argued if TM was not so cautious we would have scored similar numbers and be in a similar position in the table as them. Saturday game being a case in point. More pressure put on Fulham better result.

According to the sky bet championship average attendances for this season for home games we are 14041 with Leeds and West brom still to come. We are 300 higher than big city Preston despite them being in a play off place. How ever still likely to fall short of waggotts 15000 target. Figures likely to end up close to last year's average.

Thought this was a very passive performance up until the substitutions demonstrated by the total lack of any bookings for Rovers with the complete lack of getting in Fulham faces allowing them total freedom to play their passing game. Totally unacceptable for me.

No idea but seems odd the figures are exactly the same but clearly unsustainable

This % wage to turnover ratio has been exactly the same in the last two sets of accounts. Coincidence or a working model?

Have to say that interview produced a tear. Well done Natalie. Tony is in good hands.

League too far for Chorley. Would have been like this for Rovers if promoted under Bobby Saxton in all likelihood.

....Roger Jones, Paul Bradshaw, Jim Arnold, Terry Gennoe, Bobby Mimms.. think Walton is better than John Butcher though. A position where for most of the last fifty years we were very strong until recent times

Tosin for his age is a one off. To buy a centre half with his technical ability is out of our price range. To bring one in on loan would take some finding

Been gladwin scores for mkdons 6 minutes after coming on as sub probably his right level now

You lost me when you said you liked Walton. Not a top six keeper in my opinion

A day for sackings Colin Calderwood sacked at Cambridge United after 13 months in charge with 1 win in the last 10

The 7-0 battering was at home to Ebbsfleet United who have same number of points as Chorley at the bottom and had a player sent off after 20 minutes not unlike Rovers on Saturday there have been no other 7-0 batterings

The nobenders have paid for it with their big day out.

18 million Euros allegedly

Seems it's down to Tony the away fans are upstairs

Because you can't coach a silk purse out of a sows ear

Could have bought a completely new spine to the team for the 12M.

There is absolutely no evidence we are playing higher-up the pitch this season!

Can't find any previous reference to special additions in previous years accounts for transfer activity going back to 2012. Which raises questions. With the amount involved you have to wonder if this is the BB transfer plus agents fees and signing on fee which has been funded from a separate pot

Cost of purchase of intangible assets on page 13 is 4.2m so certainly doesn't include full amount of the 7m for bb. The transfer fees are divided annually by the length of the initial contract as per notes in the accounts. However the special additions terminology is different to most recent years looking back to see if this term has been used before

Not a bean counter but trawling through accounts for year end March 2019 signed by directors on 26 June 2019 so excluding the summer purchase shows page 8 profit on disposal of intangible assets (players to you and me) At 1.29m and 2018 1.03m Point 23 in accounts talks about maximum liability for amounts due for registered players due to football clubs and other third parties for first team players is 3,970,054 subject to total appearances. ( Depends if BB considered a first team player) Point 10 gives cost of player additions between April 2018 and 31 March 2019 at 8.862m and described as special additions!

For both the league 1 season year to March 2018 and the year to March 2019 the wage to turnover is exactly the same at 154% coincidence? or an operating model?

My impression of him was that he is what a number on here were calling for earlier in the season as a typical championship stopper.
