£2-3m spunked on the unproven, please. I'm sick of loaning in 5 players a season and having to rebuild the squad every offseason.

From what I understand, JDT likes attacking FBs. A CB playing there wouldn't suffice.

The stadium is falling apart and the pitch is a disgrace. Those are both FFP exempt.

If the club is such a financial burden to them, maybe they should just sell?

Nixon hasn't had a Rovers connect since the Coyle days.

So that's our sponsor and FFP covered. Any transfer news?

Transfermarkt reckons he's worth £3.15m, so they've been ripped off if they've paid £10m. Weren't they in massive financial trouble a few years ago? Where have they found £10m from?

FFP was brought in to pull up the drawbridge behind the established teams. Man City just about got over the moat into the castle before the drawbridge was raised. They don't want another Jack Walker upsetting the apple cart.

Depends how happy I was - I've turned down significant pay rises in the past because I didn't fancy the travel / leaving my current team. I wouldn't play for Mowbray for all the money in the world if I was a footballer.

You don't have to justify yourself - I just wouldn't have a conversation about football with you if you switched allegiances.

Just look at how miserable Murphy was to turn out for us - or indeed commentate on football in general.

And I suspect if he hadn't signed a pro contract he'd be at Spurs et al already.

I think we absolutely need another two experienced players in CM (especially if we plan to play any sort of 3 man midfield), but Travis and Buckley absolutely are good enough to start for a playoff contending side. I've no issue with Wharton / Garrett et al being the 5th man off the bench for the odd game / 30 minute cameo.

If he joined in one 5-a-side session they'd quickly learn to respect him. He's undoubtedly the best football player at the club.

He has played for PNE though.

That simply can't be allowed to happen and I would lose all faith in Broughton if it does. Brereton has to be sold early in the window to allow us to re-invest the funds.

No, he referring to the set up of having a Head Coach and a Director of Football. Most managers dictate their own transfers in England.

I've never quite understood the attraction of Livingstone - sure he can hit the ball a long way if it's in his arc, but he's as inconsistent as they come. I'd take Croft over him any day and twice on game day. Not as destructive if they're both at their best, but far more reliable.

*Gegen(press).

Bowyer's dad was a brilliant scout.

I'm obviously not there, but I'm sure JDT is quickly finding out that neither Brown or Pickering can be played as WBs at this level. Neither is athletic enough.

3-4-3 then?

He's a much better player than Armstrong, but he's still not a £15m player in my opinion.

Playing 3 at the back? Curious.

JDT even stopped to shake the hand of the steward. I do hope he's a success here because he's the polar opposite of the last guy in charge.
