It's becoming more and more obvious as to why Ragnick made his name/earnt his reputation more as a coach, because as a manager at prem level he seems to be really lacking the required management skills

Agreed! But i still think where one short, ideally a scrappy nippy little foxin the box dickov type

I'm no going diggin.... But I'm pretty sure that you was praising mowbrays summer recruitment a few days ago. Also despite the horror show of the first few years, there's now a lot of things that you can praise the owners for ie investing heavily in the accedemies! Which we and mowbray are now reaping the rewards for

Course the squads missing a traditional number 9,even if its just to add something different in the last 20mins when were not winning. I agree we shouldn't be spending millions on one though, just to sit on the bench a lot, but we need as many options as possible. Mowbray and his pals in recruitment in all the time they've had since armstrong left just couldn't find a decent looking sub 1.5mill(ish) one though.

I think id rather just not know after that bombshell. ignorance is bliss

What a prima donna prick 😞 genuinely really disappointed to hear that. I didn't even realise ex players expected any kind of payment and pampering for these types of charity events (how naive am I!)

Please tell me Tugay was just on the wind up! Otherwise you've just broke my heart 💔

although I admit if we did stay up it would be quite an achievement!!! but I honestly I can't see TM lasting more than a dozen games in the prem, but i'd be happy to eat my words in 12 months time! Trying not to even think about getting promoted just yet, but IF we do then the the first team would need quite a big overhaul and the way the club is run would need to improve enormously otherwise it will just become an embaressing amature circus again. I've got a feeling TM might just call it a day as a manager at the end of this season and what better way is there to bow out than with a promotion

Are you trying to get me banned for life? 🤐

A charity match is 100% the way to go and I cant believe the club haven't already put something in motion! I can Imagine there would be a fantastic turn out of ex players and managers from the pre 2005 era that would be absolutely delighted to 'Turn out for Tony' 😃 and id be surprised if it didn't attract a big turn out in the stands

The clubs always know. The players are basically huge assets belonging to the club so likecany business I'd be suprised if there's anything that goes on with their assets that the club don't know about to some degree

Surely they should have found a half decent(or just half promising!) backup striker from somewhere! Either on loan or permanent

hopefully they mean in regards to incomings. or maybe the Giles deal is done and dusted rovers are holding back on announcements until the bell tolls!

Did Chaddy ever really exist 🤔

Yeh orieght 🙄🙄🙄

If we keep Rothwell(and he gets his head screwed back on straight ) and sign Giles we should be in very good shape, still a bit pathetic that we've still not found cover for bb & gallagher though upfront though.

With all the Rothwell jibber jabber I've only just realised that Hedges was officially unveiled as our player yesterday afternoon

very odd comments aren't they! Suppose you could just put it down to shock, but it just doesn't read that way. Maybe the comments make more sense in the full statement I'm not sure

Sorry admin, maybe this would all be better in a thread of its own(if you're bored and want a job to do😅😅😅) as i think it will be rumbling on for quite a while!

Yes but rovers are very much a championship team👍 IF we got promoted we'd need a big first team overhaul to be able to compete in the prem

Funny how scots talk about the championship as though it's below spl standard 😄 when most teams in the spl are probably just division 1 standard at best and even celtic and rangers are just championship standard really

Am I the only one that finds the comments made by the girls father in his press statement pretty fkin disturbing! Any normal father hears of anything even remotely bad like that happening to ther daughter and they'd be seeing red for a long time ! But he seems more annoyed that the content and posts where released, to me it sounds as though he's upset that someone is rocking the apple cart or something, also claiming his daughter is saying her phone was hacked 🙄 reads like he wished it would have all just got brushed under the carpet 😞 Just a life observation.... Sadly In my experience it's damaged girls/women that are attracted to these nasty types and often that damage stems from abuse going on in the home growing up.

So half of our very higest earners only have acouple of dozen starts between them tjis season , Yet the likes of ryan and Brereton are still getting paid relative peanuts according to that. Just gut to see the funny side i suppose 😄
