No reason why JDT would lie and say things he did after the transfer window, including thanking the owners for the backing. You are keeping looking for problems that aren't they so maybe stop looking for them so much. If you watched all 10 games and You can see plenty of signs and how JDT wants to play. We are 7th after 8 games, and I think that is good start from JDT considering the number of changes to the squad and behind the scenes. In his press conference today, he has mentioned about the project again today. what would you say if we won 7 out of the 10 games or losing 1 or 2? You would be saying I always thought he would turn it wouldn't you? I believe we need to remain patience and give his time as it is taking time to adapt and change the playing style to what JDT's wants. If you don't disagree but I would be changing my opinion.

Rovers need players who can adapt in different positions

Potter is at Chelsea training ground now with his 5 trusted coaching staff. I have read an article in the Athletic on their website about why they sacked him. Very interesting. Here is a video from them discussing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YarsUHN8__0&t=28s . @davulsukurthis provides plenty of insight why they sacked it. I have read the article but its behind a paywall so haven't posted about it If you read some articles on why Chelsea new ownership sacked him for including him sending his agent to recruitment meetings cos he wanted to focus on training and being with the players more instead of the owners wanting his input into signings.

Has Dan Pike even playing for under 21 and did he feature in pre season? Mola can play left back, centre back and centre mid

I think its will take weeks and months before we see this team playing the exact way that JDT wants. Like he keeps saying this is project and there is clear plan in place from the club with Gregg Broughton in charge of it There are signs of a plan coming together under JDT and he keeps saying they will be ups and downs in the early part of the season as we have seen so far. I am pleased that we have no game midweek so JDT can get the players in for a full week of training From what he has said and from what some people have said with some inside knowledge, I would say JDT is very hard on the players but fair with them. That's why we didn't appoint a manager but appointed a head coach and someone who is comfort and happy in working in this footballing structure of Director of football and head coach. JDT has said he is happy with the signings and happy with the backing he has here. No manager ever has full control of recruitment and the time for old fashion manager in full control of transfer is less and less even at Championship level now.

From what I read it's just say breakdown between them but doesn't say what about. Not sure about being linked with loads but they did miss out on 2 big targets for then in Raphinha and Lewandowski.

He clearly doesn't want to tell the media. I think back 4 will be Carter at right back, Hyam and Scott Wharton as centre backs with Pickering at left back

If you look into everything it appears a breakdown in the relationship between Tuchel and owners has played a major part in his sacking. If you look at what Chelsea owner did at his baseball is brought in a new coach in 2015 and he is still in place now. Chelsea have made a huge mistake by signing him. 33 years old costing huge wages and transfer fee. Wonder if Potter will use him much

JDT hasn't said

I would say either depending on form, but Hyam shown alot of leadership qualities, organising and talking to other players in his 2 games so far. Maybe a captain when Travis is out injured or suspension. Hyam was on the shortlist and someone we tried to sign in July, but Coventry said not for sale. I want to see Mola play first as I said. I wouldn't play in centre midfield at the weekend. I disagree on your points Hirst. It's been 1 game and to have such OTT judgement based on 60 minutes of football when he not played much this season as JDT has said at the weekend and has JDT said he will improve and get better as he play more. I like what I saw from him at the weekend and seems to have powerful shot on him.

Its appears from what I read and watched on the Tuchel sacking that Chelsea and owners have been planning to replace him for while. Tuchel has been losing so easy on the touchline that maybe a break will do him some good. Chelsea seemed to have done his research and want Potter. It's also appearing that Potter will be given time and be involved in all footballing decisions and make the club play the same style from under 16's straight through to first team. I hope Potter does well there if appoint. Wonder who Brighton will go for

Chelsea job was project under Abramovich? really? that was he sacked a manager after a few months of winning the champions league? sack Ancelotti who is one of the best ever managers in the world, Sacked Mourinho twice? Rovers have a proper plan under GB and JDT, so fans need to understand it and get behind it

Szmodics will be back. Wharton maybe Brittain no. JDT said not fit enough until after the international break

I agree with most of what you have said here Miller11. His time here appears to be done and I surprised that his loan move didn't happen. JDT appears to be very open and honest about his future. He was something who stood out in the under 23's as wing back there, but It's not worked out here. Hope he can find a club in January and get his career started somewhere in league 1 or 2

It's just not just about prices but about quality and what's on offer there. The last 2 home games I've visited the Footy curry stall next to club shop. Been very good and tasty. I recommend anyone visiting it if you like Indian Food. It's been something I've wanted for ages different range of food whether Indian food, pizza slices, etc. Good to see the club doing this now Great meal that 😉

Brittain, Hyam, Hirst for me. Want to see Mola play first before we can comment. I want to see Szmodics before deciding. Hirst is lacking match fitness as JDT said in the local media. Rovers will sign him if he proves his worth by performances.

I rather put the money into the club then some fake shirt website. These are memories for your lad.

Well it's good news for us cos BBD is still here and no club offered what Rovers wanted. I stand by my valuation and there reasons. I think Rovers reasons will be similar.

JDT wants promotion and to make a PL club again

Yes, exactly what I said.

I think I have fully explained the reasons Why he is worth to us

I think he is worth more than 10 million that Fulham which was reported as 6m up front with 4m in add-on's Which I'm pleased we rejected it. I have posted 4 factors why I think he is worth more

when have the owners ever stop any contract offers from being made to players? GB has done very good work on getting Buckley tied down to a 5-year contract and I expect more signing new contracts here. We were right to stick to our asking price for BBD and clubs knew what that was weeks and months ago. We shouldn't be bullied into accept lower offers when that player is worth much more. We were right to turned down the 10 mil has it was way short of what our price was and the 4 factors I have mentioned several times. BBD might still sign a new contract here and I'm sure Rovers have engage in talks with him and his agent already over a possible new contract. I still he will sign a pre contract with a club in Spain in January in my opinion but there is still a chance he might stay here. BBD might still leave in January on a perm deal. None of us know what is happening with the BBD and his future. Why was our asking price vastly inflated fee for BBD?

didn't we give new contracts to Lewis Travis, Thomas Kaminski and Sam Gallagher last season. Owners should always be involved and the end of the day the final decision lays with them and that how most clubs are run whether its Rovers, Leicester or Arsenal or Fleetwood or Accy Stanley. What owners' stubbornness have shown that they won't be bullied by other clubs offering lower offers for our key players whether it was Phil Jones, Jordan Rovers, Rudy Gestede, Adam Armstrong or BBD. Are you saying we should have accepted Fulham bid on the last day of 6 mil plus 4 mil in add on for BBD?

Jake Butty's contract situation is mentioned in the article
