Exactly my point so I find it hard to have loads of sympathy for him. Saying it’s obvious he’s becoming really frustrated etc well he chose to accept the job do I wish that any new manager in the door is given the proper resources with little to no interference absolutely but there’s a clear history and patter that isn’t the case so accept the role at your own peril

Dolan didn’t entertain talks with Broughton either

What I thought was rather obvious was our bad faith dealings which was played out in public venkys financial issues played out in public manager falling out played out in public and that’s just obvious to the fan. VI no doubt would have been aware of all this including the contract situations

Impressed enough to take the job and salary on offer none of this information is new to the world

Probably just stating we haven’t signed him

Yes trial not signed

Wishful thinking lol

I asked myself that question all summer it’s a disgrace they haven’t been offered fair deals….but for you to say say the reason no clubs are in for hyam who is also in his last year is because he isn’t that good isn’t exactly true that’s my point.

Brittain not long ago said he wanted to stay too and no you said if hyam was that good why hasn’t there been bids for him considering he’s in his last year

Don’t see many in for tronstad in his last year of contract? Does that mean he’s poor?

Of the 21 games Ayala missed in that season rovers went 7 wins 8 draws 6 losses Games Ayala started 10 wins 11 losses 1 draw 3 other games with less than 45mins W D L the reason for the ‘collapse’ was not being able to score Diaz badly went off the boil

That’s not relevant to my response - hyam goes your leaving two injury prone cbs as guaranteed starters meaning at least 2 new cbs required - hyam bags of experience and more than capable of holding his own in the champ

So hyam who played every minute last season you wouldn’t care if he was to go. So him gone batth gone carter and Wharton injury prone you’d be happy with that? Strange

Nixon didn’t say about Legia advancing it was the rovers account got it wrong

I didn’t - you said give him what he wants how do you/I know what he wants? How do you know he hasn’t asked for 20k plus? and your right all players worth vary but our 3 are key players and if you give one of them ‘whatever they want’ don’t you think the other two will go well if he’s getting that I want this……dangerous game that

‘Pay him what he wants’ - nonsense that opens the floodgates for all players to then demand more don’t get me wrong these contracts should have been sorted long ago and it’s very likely we are low balling but to say just let the player have what they want is asking for trouble

I know and Iv stated out of our 3 in that situation 2 are playing and one is refusing which I think is wrong. A player can get injured at any time

Not relevant to what we’re saying. I’m saying Brittain refusing to play is just simply wrong regardless of a pre season game or not

Why are travis and tronstad playing today then

Exactly so refusing to play isn’t the answer

In Brittains case though he has openly stated he is happy at rovers and by all accounts was ready to sign a new deal this week so in these circumstances refusing to play is out of order

It’s very relevant we won just as much as we lost with him in the team?

Beck missed 20 games

Whilst I hate the venkys who are we selling that’s winners?

So back to mercer being wrong again
