Taken for mugs 🤣 are you going to ‘feed me a length’ again. Don’t forget to update your timeline, that’ll show ‘em 🤣

Absolutely it is semantics, but for some reason it’s an obsession for IraC. This thread is littered with him trying to score points on the back of that word. It’s strange behaviour, not least because saying there’s a genuine impediment gives Venky’s an excuse for not funding the club and instead selling all the best players to keep the lights on. Very odd.

There’s an irony in you telling me that I don’t know what an impediment is, then telling me it’s a ‘condition’🥹 An impediment is a serious obstruction to doing something. That’s a literal definition. There is no serious obstruction to Venky’s sending Rovers money, just a choice. So when Waggott said there were no impediments, he was right. There are just ‘conditions’ that Venky’s have to agree to, which are in no way onerous. So as I’ve always said, it is Venkys choice whether they send the money. There is no impediment, legal or otherwise.

So there’s still no impediment, just a choice about if/when they send money.

Nothing ultimately changes until the owners change. The COO, the CEO and HoF are all paid employees, nothing more.

Nicko’s got a story for us all tomorrow. I’m quite moist.

Gordon Cowan’s nickname is Sid.

Tony Parkes - Tugay - Tim Sherwood

Yep

Holy drama! They’ll have to wind it up before they activate the new lad’s additional year option.

Signed for Goole Town in 2015 according to Transfermarkt….no trace since.

A lovely young man with a delightfully soothing voice.

Like a young Steven Gerrard, or Robbie Cotton.

You don’t know anything about the player to have ‘huge concerns’ about him being a ‘direct replacement’ for anybody. He might be better than Travis.

I was getting my hopes up about Sid ….then I read the reply….

Here he is 🤣

Maybe Rudy was right and will be an exciting (ish) summer!

It would be fair assessment, but clearly not one you agree with. Then again, CM’s aren’t your strong point so maybe young Chadster’s presumed assessment is accurate 😉

The pitchforks are out but you’re right, he’s an experienced head in much the same way as Batth and Weimann. But, yeah, hardly inspiring but not the worst signing in the world.

In isolation, Forshaw for an extra year isn’t a bad signing. He actually looked decent in patches late on in the season. He’s a good player to bring on as he’s composed on the ball. He also wasn’t half as bad as people made out and I’m sure with a good pre-season behind him he’ll look sharper still. The problem is if he is a direct replacement for either Trav or Tron. In that context it’s just another cost-cutting exercise, but on a an even bigger level of stupidity. We’ll see how the CM positions look at the end of the window to see the context.

That’s a different 90% than he had requested.
