Can't sign him. Would need a ESC slot

Wouldn't surprise me if we sign 3 or 4 players in the next 8 days. Expect Travis to Derby be confirmed tomorrow, Buckley going to Saudi, Pears to go maybe Derby, Leonard on loan or permanent. I would be against Leonard leaving permanently. Still think he has a future here. Need regular first team football. Derby will need a keeper if their number 1 leaves for Brentford as the rumours suggest.

Going to back 5 wasn't why we lost that game?

I don't agree there. Squad set up for 4-2-3-1. Ismael has started that way all this season. No problem changing it to back 5 to see a win out. Why does it look like we will play 3-4-3?

He's no fan of Glen one bit by the sounds of it. Wonder what he was like in the previous fan forum meetings. They will be a new CEO appointment to deal with next fan forum meeting I bet. Apart from that, nothing more to add.

Why would we play at 3 after yesterday's performance? Our squad and potential signings suggest Ismael will continue with the 4-2-3-1 formation

Post match Hull game? No I'm not skirting around any facts. I give you a perfect legitimate situation around budgets and only having that amount of money to play within the budget. So should we pay players what the demand or what we can afford within the budget? Hence why we look into thel Cos Elliott Jackson isn't working this weekend. He is away. Yes they had someone covering the Hull game for him. Elliott won't write a transfer story unless Rovers give him the nod or he has a source on it.

local media? you mean Elliott Jackson? He wasn't at Hull away as he was at wedding and given that he won't run a story until he has source or someone has confirm it to him from Rovers end. what other local media is there?

where did Ismael say Travis let the team down? I have asked you twice about this in all fairness. What we don't know is what has happened since that League cup game cos clearly something has behind the scenes. We don't know who is behind this anonymous twitter account but they know alot of stuff, I think you are far too obsess about it and giving it far too much air time and thinking fans opinions are changed by it. I have expressed the type of communication I want to see like interviews with the CEO on local media and Rovers TV every few months explaining decisions made by Rovers or what the plan is. maybe answering Q and A with someone like Andy Bayes where fans have sent in questions to him for example so if we aren't competitive wages how are we making so many signings? so you think we should agree to Travis's wage demands for example without thinking about the wage budget. Good to know but then in the next minute you are complaining about the cost of ST or players wages or TV deals going on wages. You have wage budget and you have to not over paid but also if player x get 30k a week deal then what happens when player y or player d asking for the same or player F wants his wages doubling. what happens then with wages and then your wage bill is over 150% plus to turnover

Thanks for @glen9mullan and @KidderStreetNoise for the podcast. Good insightful into what happened around the minutes and what happened in the meeting. so thanks guys for taking your free time to do the podcast.

how do you know?

These are rumours out there. I think what a certain poster has posted could be great possibility. Something deffo happened after Ismael answered a question to media honestly and we seen the articles from Elliott Jackson about the Travis situation. who are these some fans and who has changed their opinion based on this account? How do you we haven't him a proper wage? what a proper wage? maybe his wage demands are too high for us? or maybe Travis wanted a new challenge or go and play for Eustace again given how close their working relationship was. Yes there is a reason, we have wage budget and that the budget and we won't go over the max wage limit we can offer. refusal to comment? what are you going on about RF99? Plenty has been said about it and tbh not much to add to that. This isn't the right thread to discuss the fans forum and the minutes. if the club need to be criticise then I will do so not by you telling me to do so Yes I am big on communication with head coach answering questions when asked or Rovers club management like the CEO and DoF doing interviews with the Rovers media team, BBC Radio Lancs and Elliott Jackson with the LT.

West Ham need signings. not sacking another head coach. West Ham need their owners to open that cheque book for some signings

not yet? its 3 games in and the owners are backing Parkinson with more money for signings. Yes they putting together good squad which will need time to gel so why on earth would you sack Parkinson after 3 promotions in 3 seasons. Their owners seem very loyal and I don't see them sacking him if they don't go up.

Its was more than 3 games but I admitted I was wrong. How more times do you want to say FFS! Yes we all now about their owners and they have backed Phil Parkinson every way. The championship isn't an easy league and this is different to league 1 or 2 which their owners actually did understand.

Norwich play 3-4-2-1 formation so it will be interesting how we set up tactically without the ball Team selection has to be the same after yesterday excellent win away at Hull

I said I was wrong on Ismael and admitted I was wrong, publicly. I can admitted my mistakes. I still think Watford were wrong for sacking Cleverly and I stand by that. Its 3 games into the season and yet you are totally sacking head coaches from their roles. Parkinson and Wrexham have made a number of signings and it will take time to settle there. Their owners are still backing Parkinson and rightly so given what he has achieve there.

Why has travis been let down? cos the head coach Ismael told the truth to a question from the media? so he should have protect the player and lied to the fans? what was the question asked to him? if Travis has refused to play hasn't he let down his team mates, Ismael and the fans down there? Yes of course its someone high up within the club, who I don't know. TBH, I read the posts and I mentioned to few people at our last home games. They haven't read about cos they aren't on twitter but you are giving it far too much air time and focusing on it. If you think fans opinions changed on things based on the anonymous account, I think you are way off. Has my opinion on Travis changed cos of this account? no. If he wants to leave and go to Derby to play for Eustace, that's fine, Derby pay the asking price and he goes, no problem for me. Yes I would have like him to say and commit here long term but that's not the situation, he wants more than what we can afford. Did Travis refuse to play as that account said last week? I don't know but clearly something has happened behind the scenes hence why no questions at that Friday press conference and since that really. Think what Paul Mani has suggestion is a good possibly shout tho it could be something else. Criticise the club for what? a twitter account posted some things on social? is that any different to a fan saying he has heard that or this? Does it really matter that I haven't said much on the minutes or Glen and Kidder podcast? you are obsessed, many people on here haven't said owt on that issue so are criticising them aswell?

Well deserved MOTM award for Todd Cantwell

I think your points above is probably what has happened. I agree with many of them. A lot more to this Travis story then we actually know. I agree that neither have been treated badly. Buckley need to move on when he went to Sheffield Wednesday. He needed first team football for the last 2 years. He was never suited to Eustace or Ismael style of play. Maybe so.

Everton's new stadium is fantastic and what a stadium

I want to Gueye, we need a plan B and Gueye is that. Why has travis been let down? cos the head coach Ismael told the truth to a question from the media? so he should have protect the player and lied to the fans? what was the question asked to him? if Travis has refused to play hasn't he let down his team mates, Ismael and the fans down there? you seem obsessed with this twitter account and what the account has said? has the account been wrong ever? or maybe the account has been the fans the truth?

Its 3 games in. Let the squad settle down and the league settle down. You do love a sacking Parkinson should have the season given what he has achieved at Wrexham. I don't think they get anything above mid table which I think is right.

Buckley and Travis have both left Rovers by the looks of it given their Instagram following. Do we want another centre midfielder? Maybe so. We need right winger in. Pears will go. Probably Derby. Can't see him staying now he is 4th/5th. Whatever has actually happened there. Plenty of rumours tho what has actually. Maybe find out after he gone. I would loan Leonard out. Not sure if he has been told to leave as rumours suggest or why this is the case
