Back on 2016 Glen proposed answers to the following from our Shadow man and still we haven’t had clarification but are still in the same position. We know the score and have for years but yet we are still going through the motions!

I’d question this as a lot of media pre-purchase and after purchase contradicted this with the word partnership and working together being bounded about until the realisation that this was against rules. My take on it is that this was very much potentially the situation and remained but was hushed up and the dialogue changed to say advisory role. it would explain a lot .

Nothing clearer mate!! This was very much spelt out in the public domain before The purchase according to this 2010 article. Venkys and Kentaro were in partnership with the club being bought as a window to allow Kentaro to put players in the window! We still could be Operating this model?

For me it’s quite simple-you don’t overhaul a whole squad with the roll of the dice without tested Championship players being part of core changes. To say we are going into the unknown is an understatement l-exiting maybe. Theres excitement and there’s completely unknown! For me there’s too much sweeping changes and not just players but club staff and that sets alarm bells. Those that had any affiliation Rovers and could questions behind the scenes issues aren’t there. Who would now question the hierarchy. Too many factors that aren’t being questioned for my liking but maybe im in the minority!

Finally a sensible post and one that alludes to involvement of those we don’t mention still and agents

I’m so what confused with the thread and the excitement at the new look Rovers. Some are even saying Gestede has done a great job. On the surface we have an exciting new squad but dig deeper and we have assist stripped, cut wages, disposed of the established vocal and passionate players who would speak out, sold academy local. grown talent, a goal keeper Pears who’s not been heard of for ages, and back room staff being disposed of, there is so much unrest and change at the club it frightens the F out of me and is seriously strange. I’ve not know a club make such sweeping changes in a season. goodness know what agent payments have been made and pockets feathered with these transfers-someone will gain. So who’s pulling the strings in these transfers? Whose benefiting, why the whole squad overhaul (and lack of contracts is a poor excuse as they’ve not been offered/played under valued ) the apathy and denial between the fan base of some serious concerns, lack of anger and pointing finger at people jumping ship as snakes or not loyal worries the hell out of me. Yet those pulling the stirngs on the surface are painted as doing a great job in loosing deadwood. why isn’t everyone jumping with rage 😡 is beggars belief

Does anyone else think that our entire transfer budget rests on an offer for BBD? Otgoings before incomings etc. Who else is risk of being sold Kaminski/Travis/Dolan? potentially but less likely Buckley would be serious concerns?
