Yes, if you're viewing it as a one-off meeting. If this is meeting one of many and the agreement was "i'll personally improve communication with fans" then its a success.

To be fair I think either i'm completely numb to negativity, or the majority of the responses here have been overwhelmingly positive!

Watch him score 20 league goals...

RE my post earlier: I've since spoken to Duncan. Getting access to Suhail is as close to communication with Venkys as we've had in a long, long time. It is very good news for the Rovers fan base. I don't care who's speaking to him as long as genuine issues are being raised and the key answers are reported back and not hidden from fans. I wasn't aware it was on Friday or if there was any earlier meetings, thus my post. If I was in charge I would have put out some sort of statement along the lines of "On Friday, We Are The Rovers held a meeting with Suhail Pasha and Steve Waggott. Minutes of the minute will be released in due course and no further communication will come from the Trust until that point." to avoid exactly this scenario. But ultimately i'm not on the board, so what do I know. Saying that, there's no use being an after timer and like I say as long as the important messages are getting relayed, this is a significant positive step. I look forward to hearing more tomorrow.

If The Trust have met Suhail then as a member I want to know exactly what was discussed please. Speaking to Suhail is essentially speaking to Venkys, it’s arguably the biggest breakthrough of recent times and with a club-threatening court case just over 2 weeks away it’s at a huge moment. As a side note, when was this going to be spoken about? Would it have been spoken about if Glen hadn’t posted it? How many of these meetings have there been?

Both Bristol (Our old mate Andy Cryer mentioned it) and WBA fans have said he doesn’t have the legs to be a forward anymore - both clubs played him wing back at times - so I highly doubt he’s anywhere near fit enough to go backwards and forwards in CM.

I can’t believe this for a second. He’s not unhappy that we may (or may not) refuse him the biggest opportunity of his career on treble, maybe even four-times as much money at age 29?

It’s what I predict Szmodics will do if we don’t allow him to make life changing money for his family.

Agreed - if between Ipswich and Rovers we don’t find a deal soon, he’s going to royally throw his toys out the pram.

Nixon reported that was the case. I assume under the club to drum up a bidding war. At no point has anyone from the club officially confirmed any deadline.

Nice one, Josè

There’s no gaurentees in life but if you can’t recognise Szmodics was a significantly smaller gamble that Gueye and Ohashi then were just not going to find middle ground here sadly.

Sammie was signed with Championship experience and a standout player in League One. His credibility in British football compared to these two is on a totally different level.

You guys are smoking some wacky stuff. He’s 28 and will quadruple his wages if he gets a Prem move, or double them for a top end Championship move. There is absolutely no way he stays on the back of signing a striker who’s only success is in a relegated side in Belgium and a forward that’s never scored outside of Japan.

I think he’d be very expensive wage wise, but it isn’t the first time he’s been hinted at this window.

I’ll be astonished if we’re not playing 4231 in the vast majority of games next season.

Good point, well put.

If we’ve spent 1.5M on an U23s player I’ll be damned.

I think Gally has been tarnished here because we spent 5M on him and paid him rumoured somewhere between 15-18K per week. If we signed him for 1M and paid him 10K a week he would be good value as an option. In addition to that he’s exceptionally good looking in kit launch promos.

If I was in charge I’d be doing one based around clicking send on the paperwork. Or receiving confirmation from the EFL.

Especially since one of them will be playing for the U23s

Which was cheapest? Cos he’s on that one.

Tell us you’ve got one last protest in you, Glen!

You’re making up a conversation here which just isn’t happening. The sequence of events is as follows: 1) He said he feels sorry for people that bought a season ticket this season. 2) You asked him why he feels sorry for them. 3) You’ve told him he doesn’t need to feel sorry for you. That isn’t conversation nor discussion, it’s you simply making statements and ignoring the context.
