JDT had asked for more experience, which Fleck and McFadzean do provide Eustace left Coventry 10 years before Swag arrived there, so not sure where you think the link between those 2 may may be? Broughton is still in place (as shown from Rovers social media videos today), so why wouldn't he have brought these people in? Since this is the job he is (still) paid to do? So if there is any theory, then surely it is that Broughton brought all three of these? Even if he was well aware that JDT was off

I am still am not sure why you think that? Swag left Coventry 4 years before McFadzean arrived there, and it is very evident from Rovers social media videos that Broughton is still very much in place. Genuinely interested if they are fishing buddies, or that they were once in the scouts together, or that there is something to link them, in even the slightest way?

Its what other clubs have been doing to us for the past 2 months. The annoying thing is JDT has shown in the past (first half of last season and notably against Watford at the start of this season) that he is able to be pragmatic. I just think he was unwilling to do so for the past few months as he was disillusioned with the job

I thought he was one of Swags boys? 😉

Yep, he was shown on at least one or two Rovers twitter videos with Eustace

The positive we have here is that even if Dolan wont sign and we end up taking up the option and extending his contract for a year, at the end of next season, due to his age, he does not walk for free* (as he would still be under 24), it will go to a tribunal, and due to how many appearances he has etc, it will not be an insignificant fee and it would include a sell on (very rare that tribunal decisions do not include these) Personally, I would be using the money "saved" (if any of it still exists) from the McGuire deal & his wage to tie Dolan and Gallagher down for the next 3-4 years * As long as he stays in England

Left footer at left wing back, and right footer at right wing back if we are being precise about it 😉

Its well documented what Wharton, Kaminski and Phillips went for over £25M, Or maybe he is trying to force the Venkys hand in the summer? (albeit probably a futile effort)

Ill apparently

4-2-3-1 with JRC in CM I guess, not sure about McFadz in a back 4 though

Italy or Spain should be nice this afternoon

Why do you say that? Of the 3 only Fleck was at Coventry at the same time that Waggott was. Eustace left Coventry 10 years before Waggott arrived there and McFadzean arrived 4 years after Waggott left

Well that should help get a few more points a season, we have been terrible at set pieces for years

Nothing been announced about injuries, Normally JDT gives a weekly update but think he has had a busy week organising his escape from the madhouse

someone said it, but they were at Cov at different times, so it seems they were wrong Eustace was at Cov 1996 - 2003 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Eustace Waggot was there from 2013 - 2015 https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/FKc4o-maeIjThZF3QPcISHHYkS4/appointments

lol There is no point communicating with the people on the LT website I wouldn't waste my time Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience 😉

Can I state for the record that I am not "Rovers Fan in Kent" on the LT site

2-0 O'Grady-Macken

Are they? I can see it its showing as a 4-4-2 here But looking at the lineup, I would have it as 3-5-2/5-3-2 Michalski Duru - Olsen - Gamble - Atcheson - Haddow Weston - Finneran - O'Grady-Macken Biniek - Gilsenan

Long live Gregg 😉

Head coach, and Broughton posting stuff on linkedin, so looks like he is staying

Looks like the actions of someone still in position to me

Gregg Broughton posted a welcome to Eustace on his linkedin, from which, I am guessing that he is definitely staying https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7161786303720763393/
