We won't pay his salary, can guarantee that now.

When was the last time we loaned anyone with any real intention to buy?!

Got a feeling you might be disappointed.

That's what they want you to believe.

We came close once, so everyone at the club decided to alienate the manager that did.

Yep, the Rochdale and Portsmouth League cup games were included as part of the ST in 00/01, a gesture because of the terrible season we had the year before. Another gesture that season was that there was some kind of money back deal if we didn't at least finish in the top 6. They could do it back then as you were guaranteed two home cup games as the first and second round were both two legs. I don't recall us offering cup games in the ST before or since though.

The whole Eustace vs the recruitment team is one massive smokescreen, don't fall for it. Either nothing is happening, or there are deals lined up and venkys won't sign them off. We have been here before, many times.

As predicted Nixon is coming out with all sorts. Saying Germaine deal is set up but want to work through the players Eustace wants first before "pushing the button". Eustace wants Ruddy, Dembele, Baker and Stansfield. Back up options to Ruddy are Rushworth and Iverson.

True, how anyone could possibly overact after the past 14 years of this glorious ownership I will never know.

Why would they be bothered about doing the right thing now when they haven't for the past 14 years?

As predicated. Hope you didn't!

And been correct with 95% of them! I would say that's hardly a credible link though from Kitman on BRFCS.

Absolutely no chance.

Can't imagine they know much. Probably fishing for some likes.

This will come and go tomorrow and we'll be none the wiser and things will just carry on as they are.

I'm sure we're interested. Fulham have stated he isn't going anywhere though, and even if they changed there minds we wouldn't meet the fee.

1-1. Look a tough nut to crack these.

Haha, not a chance we get all them permanent.

Does make me laugh folk saying venkys have "form" for dropping a big signing out of nowhere upon us. Those days are long gone I'm afraid, hasn't been one for over 5 years.

Tronstad qualified for a work permit when we signed him so didn't need a ESC spot. Same with Gueye this summer.

Siggy now qualifies as he played enough minutes last season. Whether anyone at Rovers has bothered to check that out though is another thing. So we should have 2 left.

Could be a venkys special of a loan with (no) intention to buy.

Schwabe is up there with Stansfield for ridiculousness

Definitely be Ruddy.

Garrett gone from one BRFC bench to another.
