Jesus Christ it's boring on here. Will be like winning the premier league again when/if we sign anyone.

It was early and that's why should was in capitals. I meant should get out rather than walk if I'm being honest. I understand it's a lot tougher than when we went down. Even only a few years on. Bar wigan and Shrewsbury randomly having a decent season, the standard was nowhere near as good as what it is now.

People are proper flapping aren't they 😂 I dread to think what would happen on here if we don't win tomorrow. Both games. Surely we'd be better waiting and getting the right player/ players. Rather than signings for the sake of signings. None of those who have gone derby would fit with what we want to do here. Let's face it Derby SHOULD walk that league.

Yeah they've gone quiet because they're busy behind the scenes. I'd rather it be quiet, than them coming out every other day saying how difficult it is to get a deal done. Or moaning about finances and ffp.

😂 I forgot they'd signed him too. Van hecke next surely.

I think him being better defensively he'd suite playing right side of a back three. Wilder is a great manager and would do really well with nyambe. He can play enough without being spectacular. Especially with such good attacking wing backs ahead of him. It'll mean there's not pressure on him to deliver going forward.

Two half times. Imagine all the ale.

Yeah as far as shite owners go, have any lasted as long as these lot? And by shite I don't mean the glazers, who only spend hundreds of millions a year... Usually they fuck the club up and lose interest. I don't know what it would take for these to walk away.

I think most clubs will go a similar route with having more subs available. You can certainly give players minutes, without having to jeopardise the overall starting team. If we're two or three up give some kids a chance. Hopefully we unearth some gems along the way. I wouldn't think JDT and GB would only go this route though. They must of been given assurances before taking the job. I just hope we can get some deals done to calm us all down.

Yeah surely you perform well and then deserve a better deal. Whether you choose to accept it or not is another thing. I can't see players being up in arms over someone coming in on better money than them. That's the way football has always been and I think it's a cop out for the club when missing out on players. We were arguably worse off at the start of last season squad wise, then the season before. Alot of us predicated we'd stuggle. We then massively over achieved in the first half of the season. Which papered over the cracks, which began to show after Christmas. I worry for us this season if we don't add quality to the squad. If you're not progressing then you're only going to go backwards. New coach or not he's only as good as the players at his disposal.

Can't keep our own players and now losing out on decent replacements. Very worrying.

Don't think many clubs would've been that interested, until he had a good start to the season.

Hopefully a busy week ahead. Let's all keep our heads and looking forward to accy next Saturday.

Remember when we we're linked with cantwell? In what feels like eleven years ago.... As for Bordeaux they are financially fucked whichever division they end up in. I can't see them keeping him but also I'd be impressed if he came here.

Realistically the blades have more money and a better chance at a push for promotion. The one advantage we have is JDT. I'd be gutted if he went to another team in the championship. If he goes to a bigger club then fair enough.

From the centre circle to opposition box he looked like the best player in the world. Beyond that where it counted very rarely did he deliver. The same from his crosses and free kicks. We played most of the season with three tall, towering centre backs. We should of had far more goals from set pieces. I'm not laying all the blame on him but that should've been any easy way to get more assists. He ran like a winger but through the middle of the pitch, which obviously got the fans and myself excited. Good luck to him at Bournemouth.

People got excited because of how rothwell carried the ball. He got us further up the pitch, without ever really doing anything. The problem was his final ball or the fact he'd get tackled as soon as he got even near to threatening. If he struggled to get goals/assists in the championship in a decent enough team. He will really struggle in the premiership, playing in arguably the worst team.

He signed a new deal either last season or the one before that. You'd imagine he'd be on around 150k a week. 😂

How many more ex Preston lads can we sign? Can't wait for us to sign Ricardo fuller and Graham Alexander.

I don't think age matters, if he's a good coach he's a good coach. If he was already world class he wouldn't be coming to rovers would he.

He's already ahead of pears then.

It just seemed to click for him last season. I don't think he was ever a million miles away from the player he became. It was his touch or finish that was the most frustrating because he was getting in decent positions. If he'd of got ten goals I'd of been impressed, using the confidence he'd gained being away with Chile. It makes the new deal for Gallagher make sense. If he gets ten goals say by new year, clubs would be looking at him. Look at Andy fucking Carroll. He got three or four goals at reading and suddenly he was being linked with a return to the premiership 😂.He just needs it to click aswell as in that final ball, first touch or knowing where to put the ball for it to go in.

I don't think he's quite at that stage of his career, where he's looking to move for the nice beaches. And anyway we've got bar Ibiza.

Yeah Italian football overall, bar the top six clubs maybe is on its arse. Surely he could get a better move somewhere either in England or Spain. As long as they meet our asking price though it doesn't really matter. If he's goes on the cheap (one year of his contract remaining) and does well. They'll probably double their money.

Yeah I don't blame the players for leaving and taking more money. Rothwell won't do anything in the premier league. Boro look like they're going to have a real go this season and wherever nyambe ends up aslong as it isnt the dingles, he was decent for us. The club is the one to blame here. there is absolutely no way three of our best and most valuable assets should be leaving for free. Their contracts or transfers out should've been sorted last summer. It's an absolute disgrace what has happened. Softened only by the fact most people are really excited about the new manager. Otherwise fans would be up in arms, I'm not saying that some already are.
