I have only watched the first part of the Gregg Broughton's interview and I thought he came across very well and very insightful of the start of his reign as Director of Football. His comments are most than welcome. He also said he speaks directly to the owners and doesn't have to go through Steve Waggott to them. He says the owners have backed him and JDT in every way possible. To be honest, it's time that Rovers used their own channels including Rovers TV for interviews with Gregg Broughton, Jon Dahl Tomasson and Steve Waggott for a prime example. Hasn't this question already by Rovers that no club met our asking price, and we won't sell on the cheap like you suggested that you would have accept an offer of below 10 million pounds. I would imagine Gregg Broughton might answered in more detail in the second part of the interview but Rovers have explained in the statements on the website. i very doubt Gregg Broughton is going to talk publicly about how much is left in the pot and why would you make that public to other clubs and agents. Also, similar answer to the Brereton funds point. Gregg Broughton and Jon Dahl Tomasson explained fully how the process for recruiting and signing players happens when the were unveiled to the media in July. Why is that a question for Gregg Broughton since that not an area of the club he is responsible for?

I would say most of those players are in form for their clubs.

My team would be Pickford Tripper Stones Dier Chilwell Rice Bellingham Foden Mount Grealish Kane

Channel 4 won the England football broadcasting rights. Outbid both BBC, Sky and ITV. All that matters is tournament results. Southgate has delivered semi finals and final in his tournament football in his 2 tournaments.

Southgate was the best English candidate and still is the best choice right now. The England manager should always be English. Its always delivered our best tournament results

Didn't watched the game but from what I read about it, it's wasn't our beat game but I wouldn't be playing 3-4-3 but go back to playing 4-2-3-1 with 3-5-2 as plan B. I know what my starting 11 would be right now No I didn't missed the point at all. The Nations League is shite and need scraping asap. Another pointless effort from UEFA. Just have fewer international games and breaks in the season.

Here is the first part of the interview(got to log in to watch). https://www.rovers.co.uk/videos/ written verison https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2022/september/23/gregg--everyone-s-been-so-supportive/

Yes JDT has given them a few days off like managers do at these international breaks

Wouldn't Norwich and Bournemouth have bigger budget to be fair?

Very true there Matty. Its a utter pointless competition and another mess from UEFA Surely the main back up striker will be Tammy Abraham now.

Warnock, did nothing at Boro in his last job. Yet again another manager should be left in retirement. Woodgate got Bournemouth to playoffs when he was caretaker for half season. IMO, Rotherham need a new manager. I stand by 2 suggestions

Toney is very different striker to Kane. I think Chelsea should have sign him as their main striker.

Paul Warne has left Rotherham for Derby now. Rotherham chairman has said they already had 30 people applying for job before Warne deal was confirmed. I think Mark Bonner or someone Jonathan Woodgate would be good options for them

I would sign a new striker, attacking left side player and that would be hit. I have assume we have sign Hirst permanent that why we only 1 striker next summer, but that's a long way off so let's focus on this season for now

Rovers footballing strategy is right that we keep bringing through our talented young players and we are producing this season after season, and I can't think of another championship club who is producing the amount of good talent players we are. The Rovers academy deserved huge credit for this. Mike Sheron and Stuart Jones are at the front of the academy and the quality of coaching they are getting is a major part of the reasons why we are. Gregg Broughton and Jon Dahl Tomasson have been quite clear this is project and developing our own players is major part of this aswell has signing players who will be add quality to the squad. On Hirst, he isn't a youngster but he is 23 years old and there is reason why Rovers made him our number 1 target and why Rovers chased him all summer. I don't see blocking Vale pathway at all as his chance will still be there. Plus, Hirst has played only 96 mins so far and people yet again are being over judgemental on these performances instead of looking that he isn't match fit before he joined and still learning how we want him to play under JDT How Gregg Broughton can be blame at all for Luton's relegations when he was only in charge of the academy there during that time is mind boggling at least. I would say Norwich did bring through a number of young players like Aarons, Lewis, Cantwell, Godfrey into their squad during the promotion season 2018/19. So yes, it has been done before.

no surprised that Derby wants Warne as their next manager. They are under new ownership and its bigger club than Rotherham. Probably a bigger budget than Rotherham for him. He has done a very good job at Rotherham

I don't see BBD has a main striker like I have said mainly times, I would sign a left side attacking player when he goes next summer. I have also said quite clear for over 3 weeks that I think BBD will sign a pre contract with Spanish club and move there next summer. whilst I see Gallagher, Hirst and Vale has strikers and not wide attackers

You can only offer a 3 year contract at that age of 17. These are the rules

We have to agree to disagree with you. I would only bring in another striker If Gallagher left

I rate him and I think he is good player

Great news that Phillips has signed 3 year contract. Well done to Rovers and everyone who was involved in getting it done. Rovers have shown for the last 12 years that we producing and developing our own players. We have clear and proper pathway for academy players into the first team

Looks like Cardiff will leave caretaker manager Mark Hudson in charge. They don't appear to have any plans to bring in external appointment at this stage. In my opinion, it makes sacking Steve Morrison even stranger than I did before.

I don't think it was the formation not working but we couldn't cope with Luton's intensity and when they upped their levels we didn't up ours which disappointed me. Yes I would change formation to 4-2-3-1 or even go 4-3-3 to match their midfield 3. BBD isn't main striker but he plays from the left, he prefers that role and his best scoring form comes from that. I don't think we needed another striker at all. Hirst has played around 96 mins so far in 3 games. Let's give him some time to learn how we want to play. I'm convince he will come good for us. Let's get him working with Rovers coaches over the next couple of weeks so he can hit the ground running in October. Vale is developing here and I'm pleased we kept him here instead of loaning out. On Gallagher, JDT seems to like playing him wide right but I would be open to selling him this January or next summer

which ones are reluctant inclusions?
