I guess Picks, Wharton, Carter, Pears, Tronstad are the remaining core. Rest mercs/individuals, except the academy lads. I don't believe Val has the ability to build team morale for a second
I would expect media to put high pressure on the club to at least get rid of VI and also continuously highlight the long list of troubles regarding Venkys. I'm surprised that Elliot Jackson, a young journo early in his career, seems so alone in reporting on Rovers.
Perhaps it's due to the high numbers of clubs around Lancashire?

He's a flamboyant character (remember El Hadj Diouf's colourful sports cars?) and it is based on that alone believable that he would own a Lamborghini with his name on the reg.plate. Perhaps even storing it in Manchester area where his now pregnant wife lives and plays for Manchester united
With Norway finally after 28 yrs qualifying for WC I bet Trondstad's perspective is this;
I need to get to a different competitive club asap to increase my chances of getting picked.
Sure there are four other players infront of him, but if injuries happen he has to be considered for selection.
I'm not too sure about the story of his family wanting to move home to Norway. Perhaps moving away from rainy Lancashire or Manchester.
Waggott was all about doing most transfers close to deadline day because that was the time he believed the transfers were cheapest. He often said that in interviews.
Which is probably true, but in my view that means pursuing players that are less attractive to most clubs and who does not necessarily fits a profile we are after.
