Why should he give us figures im pretty sure (don’t quote me on this) there’s law/rules against providing exact information publicly without consent when it comes to salaries/income

That’s your take and you’re entitled to it. Mine is I’m glad to see a manager tell us what’s happening and exactly how it is

Why shouldn’t he have said that Lewis Travis has asked to leave do enlighten me?

Transparency for fans is what we have been after. Wanting to know what’s going on of course when it comes to post match interviews regarding performances we don’t need managers to tell us someone has played good/bad because we will have seen it. But that’s a preference whether they do or not. See Russell martins interview last week? the transparency we are after is about stuff we don’t see and I’m perfectly fine with it. People are raising their eyebrows because Travis didn’t like it being made public well I’m very sorry Lewis but tough luck. as for the other players if they don’t like honesty and or criticism then they aren’t the characters you want in your team anyway, I see no reason as to why anybody in the team would be sat back saying ‘I’m not playing for him I can’t believe he told the media Lewis asked to leave’ if and a big ‘if’ that’s the case then they can follow him out the door

We either want transparency or we don’t - no grey areas in between

Same could be asked of you or anybody else how do you know he’s been fed information from the club? Where’s the proof or are you just assuming like the rest of us. Works both ways that argument

I’m not expecting him to but with such turnover I also don’t see the impact it will have on the team

I disagree completely all players are out for themselves some will se with as an opportunity to play regularly ie tavares theres way too much protection of players the same players who are under contract if Travis has any balls he will spill the beans when he’s sold but I suspect he will agree to an nda incorporated into his contract as itl suit him financially and publicly

You wouldn’t actively want it but if theres massive history of it you shouldn’t be surprised. He can be annoyed all he likes and rightly so but I still maintain he either knew of the situation or should have known of the history of the club.

Happened to JDT happened to Eustace - how he or his agents/reps thought this would be different is beyond me

1980 - but most clubs could say that in their entirety so be safer putting some time frame on it no?

Really than this current group please elaborate

How do we determine worst ever manager? Previously Iv been given excuses about managers because of injuries or lack of investment Surely val falls into the category of shafted by recruitment

Don’t want to say I told you so…….but

Not sure how you have come to that conclusion with Leonard’s stats tbh

His only goal and assist for us in the league was against Burnley so all is forgiven lol

Yes 100% Dennis was a buy to try get the fans on board. It was an obvious Fcuk up. Woodrow was their main attacking target (poor) Dennis then was a better name - hadn’t played in over a year and wasn’t training with Forest - and that took us over the squad limit meaning sigurdsson had to be left out was another failed window for sure I think Dennis would have been decent had he any sort of pre season or match fitness about him but not at the wages he was on let alone the fact he barely kicked a ball

Plenty on Twitter

Wrong example to compare to you saying Mowbray/raya - that’s a coach/manager who works with the players and other players competing for the same position daily to make a judgement call - some right some wrong fans who only see games and nothing else to declare a player completely useless after approx 90mins of football is simply wrong

Generally - not always whittaker most recent example been awful for middleborough cost them a fortune

If your writing off a player after 2 games then football isn’t for you

Agreed

I didn’t say there was anybody else you said Leonard would be a better option Iv stated he wouldn’t

Gueye has already did more for rovers than Leonard ever has the kid can’t stay fit

I’d even take that for it to fail as it would mean we’re looking as of now a striker isn’t on the agenda
