Because despite selling our training ground, Kaminski, Raya, Wharton, Armstrong, Phillips and letting Brereton, Dack, Rothwell, Lenihan all leave on free transfers there’s no money! It’s economics done the Waggott way.

Because the average 23 and 24 year old within 5 miles of the ground is struggling and doesn’t have much spare money.

Permanently, hopefully.

Sad to hear this Mike, suing someone almost always means everyone has suffered in some capacity. Hope there’s a quick and easy resolution.

If so, it's going to be a struggle watching every game on TV nevermind in the stadium this year.

My summer is completely ruined.

Watson Ramsbottom I think.

Should say this in the privacy of the BRFCS owners group, but is it viable for us to set up a sponsor removal service in protest? Find a provider that can do it, get a cheap price based on bulk orders, fans send us their shirts with return postage and we handle the removal?

Wait, is Chilwell fit? I had assumed he was injured! How have we ended up with no fit left back in a full squad? We should have taken Chilwell, Mitchell at Palace or even Davis at Ipswich until Shaw was fit. Nobody can tell me all three of them aren’t good enough for Serbia, Denmark and Slovenia.

M&S have some fantastic men’s clothing in at the moment. They’ve just hired Reiss’s top designer and it shows, some lovely summer pieces at great prices and quality.

I'd love to get clarification as to what "smashed" means. It sounds like I don't want fans to buy season tickets - which for the record categorically isn't the case - but as a % I would say the verb "smashed" can be used at +25% increase?

Someone’s told Waggott it’s a great idea because he’s a club legend and the fans will relate to it. I guarantee it. To be honest, fans like you and I are in the minority. He’ll be paraded around the pitch and cheered.

If I wasn’t a fan there’s no way I’d sign for this basket case.

Nothing spent last year due to owners issues (4M) Adam's sale (18M) Raya's sell on fee (4M) Phillips sale fee (2M) Kaminski's sale fee (2.5M) Increase of TV revenue (4M) Szmodics inevitable sale (12M) Dolan, Hyam, Gallagher, Sigurdsson all in their final years. Anything less than 20M and I call bullshit on the entire operation.

Pasha is joining the Trust's meetings with Rovers, not the AGM, is my understanding.

Great! Will he be answering some questions? If so: "Hello Rudy, delighted you could join us. I'm interested to hear - in your Head of Football role - how you would approach a player being paid an incredible amount of money by this football club but refusing to play and working with rival teams to try and push through a transfer away from Rovers that doesn't reflect their true market value?" "Rudy, according to your LinkedIn, which you keep up to date, prior to your appointment here you have not taken a Managerial, Head of or Directors role at any other business, never mind football club, in the UK. As Head of Football, do you believe Rovers are in a position to hire inexperience in key roles?"

94/95 Blue and White / Red and Black I heard. Third shirt was described as “garish” by one person and “pink” by another. Putting the two together I assume it’s a bright pink.

Have we had a @goozburger official update yet?

Post of the Summer.

I’ve never seen a striker so instant on not facing the opposition goal as Kane.

Not sure about “doesn’t really impact Rovers”. It’s quite an ask and a risk. To my knowledge they are asked to match every pound invested in Rovers and if they lose the case against them, all the money they’ve invested is taken away from them.

Suhail’s coming to the next one! Bloody hell. The invisible man arrives.

Absolutely zero respect for Rudy from me after he refused to play for us and worked with another club to try and force us into accepting a lowball offer. As confirmed by Gary Bowyer.
