neither does UEFA but you don't moan about that do you? wonder why?

I hope you are well and better health wise. You make many good points in your post. A lot of pundits have us going down or bottom 6 so its shows how much the players and head coaches(Eustace, Lowe and Ismael) proven these people and many fans who wasn't expecting us to top half and challenging for a playoffs before the season I would have snapped your hand off What were your expectations before the season and did we out performed? So if we did then does it show progress and show some happiness?

Gestede and Ismael should be do a season review this month and saying what the plan is for next season

My point which you missed it is about football clubs need income during the summer period and that income is through ST's and club merchandise. Its a business at the end of the day Football clubs have these phases in order to get a baulk of money in within a specific period of time. Yes Rovers could choose to not to raise in the next phase but extending the deadline by 2 weeks was good smart move I would say that country is facing higher bills and uncertain job market with businesses holding off investing and hiring. Aren't Rovers are one of cheaper in the championship next season in terms of pricing?

What happened if Carter and Hyam have injures early next season, then that leaves you with 2 centre backs for a period of time with no chance of going to back 5 or changing the team. Also will Wharton be 100% by pre season. Also why not planned for the season after when Batth will move on and possible others like Carter or Hyam.

so give it more exposure instead of just ignoring it?

Surprised Brittain didn't make top 3

Shortlist Keeper who can challenge Toth for the keeper position Left foot centre back Box to box midfielder Right winger with pace Right winger Striker with pace Expect Batth, Hedges and Forshaw to sign 1 year contracts given Ismael's comments Sell Pears. Time to move on JRC. Need to leave for his own future and need first team football Buckley. Same reasons as Buckley..

I've told you why clubs do it so clubs have income over the summer to pay staff. Think about League 2 club who need that income to cover the club outgoings over the summer. It's Business at the end of the day. When do cut off point in order for fans to move seats? Etc, etc

Like I said Sky have got the amazon 20 games plus every 2pm Sunday kick off like the 2 games that weren't on tv yesterday would be You have no problems with games being moved of European competitions games tho. So if its for TV coverage but if it moved for European competitions zero problems. https://www-skysports-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11661/13019562/sky-sports-to-show-215-premier-league-games-a-season-from-2025-26?amp_gsa=1&amp_js_v=a9&usqp=mq331AQIUAKwASCAAgM%3D#amp_tf=From %1%24s&aoh=17463814324451&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.skysports.com%2Ffootball%2Fnews%2F11661%2F13019562%2Fsky-sports-to-show-215-premier-league-games-a-season-from-2025-26 BBC want to 3pm kick off time and ITV want 5pm/5.30pm kick off time. The kick off time has been sorted for 4.30pm kick off time.

Like I said to Matty, I would have prefer someone who has the experience I think we need someone with more experience of small budgets and bringing in quality players plus experience of signings players from overseas You says I haven't factored in the contract situation of Travis, Brittain, Tronstad, Batth, Hyam. That comment is a piss take to be honest as it would be number 1 priority right now to sign them all up who wanted to stay but any who don't want to, I would sell. Ismael and Gestede have both made the same points about being align and working together, if you DONT want to believe it, fine but please don't keep going on about it to me daily/weekly cos I ain't interested I have based what I think the budget is based on what I believe we spent(without Pasha comment as I told you SEVERAL TIMES NOW) and Gestede's comments to Elliott Jackson being the same Yes Cantwell has been disappointed this season overall but the last few games he was getting better No surprised to me you have jumped on this one given your opinion before we signed and I was expected you to do so post game, I said on Karbgo that I've pleased with what I have seen so far and I wanted to see more. His pass to Dolan for him to score in the Plymouth Game shown quality On Toth, in his previous games before he started at Luton away he was poor but since coming he was good, yes a few shaky moments at Luton but overall good and yesterday that save from deflected shot was very good plus he was good at coming off his line and catching the ball. For me, the shirt is his for next season and I would sell Pears and bring in another keeper to be number 2 for next season on Ohashi, you disagree with my view point as you have said time after time, so what's the point keep going on and on about repeatably again!!!

The more games are 20 games that Amazon used to have but don't anymore, then they are showing other 2pm Sunday kick off like the Brentford man Utd today will be shown live on Sky Sports next season. plus some more Friday night games Explained: The record £6.7bn TV rights deal and what it means for Premier League football - The Athletic

Bournemouth at home in the league cup 1993

they have these phases to get the season ticket money in early in the summer to cover the shortfall from summer of income coming into the club. Doesn't every club does these phases? cos people situation might change like a new job or a job changing from temporary one to a permanent position or work pattern you can still renewed now for this price and after the deadline then your seat swap will happen

Boro favourites to sign Dolan Championship rivals leading the chase for Blackburn Rovers ace Tyrhys Dolan, talks have been held already

You asked me the same question on the 12th March. My answer was "I think personally we need someone with greater experience in that role and experience in the Rovers's head of football operations who has dealt with agents, scouting, recruitment, etc. which nothing against Gestede and his role. my answer hasn't changed Matty

You asked me this previously and gave you my answer. Has my answer change well if it has I would posted that like I did with Ismael change of stance

Didn't Park leave first time down to Mowbray leaving? Sure GB said this cos he wanted him to stay on. Yes other staff have left the recruitment team for different reasons and don't know what they were. If you do fine and I accept that. One left for league 1 club but promotion in terms of job role. GB left but we dont know the reasons why. We all guess why. Now we seem back to similar plan but different stewardship Have I actually said that Matty? As per usual seeing and reading what you want

Cos he brought in his own staff like the ex Manchester United scout and Michael Cairney is joining us next month. If a bigger club in for them in 12 months time they of course will go.

well last summer Waggott and Pasha got rid of GB, Kimberley and some of recruitment staff employed by us Gestede has brought in some new staff members now

Huddersfield need to get it right on the pitch to keep those fans coming. They need a good head coach appointment if they want promotion

Surprised how bad Luton was this season, I expected that to win the league. How wrong I was. Still surprised they got relegated now. Plymouth could be looking for a new head coach as their current coach isn't committing yet but If I was QPR or WBA or Norwich I would be looking at him. Its appears that Carrick is staying at Boro from his own comments and that surprised me to be honest. on the 3 clubs coming down, I think it will be interesting to see if McKenna stays at Ipswich or move to another PL club. Leicester and Southampton will be decide by what they do with head coach appointment and their squad they have at those clubs,

Shocking predictions from me. Just so surprised how poor Luton did this season

I agree it would great to keep staff. Gestede has bought his own head coach in and own staff in the recruitment department.
