we have offered him a new contract but Dolan wants to test the market and see what out there. That's his decision but he has performed for us this season so why can't say he hasn't put a shift him, I hope he stays but if he doesn't I wish him well in the future

what about Sunderland head coach Régis Le Bris or Bristol City head coach Liam Manning or Portsmouth head coach John Moushino ?

You tell me Kent given you want to imply these assumptions? in the players salaries being paid? or overall at the club? No, cos we seen the playing squad changed over the last 5 seasons and we don't know what's in the players contract has some contract could have wage rise in them for each season. We don't know what in the contract do we If he is going Derby then its become of his close bond and relationship with Eustace not money. As I said the other day I would let JRC go as I don't see a place for him in the squad and he isn't a right back for me and Buckley has to moved on to fulfil his potential(some of it at least). You can only make that decision or judgement after the summer transfer window has finish not now

Have you not actually misunderstood here? Did Gestede say he was involved in that decision or was he actually referring to Ismael making that call with the help of our Andrew Proctor and data analysis? Did Gestede actually set a target or did he actually mentioned the amount of minutes our young players played under JDT compare to Eustace, and the club wants to go back to actually develop and bring through our young players? Has Ismael felt obliged to play younger players or has he given Kris Montgomery his chance cos he felt he was ready to play? Care to actually expand on what you mean and I might be able to answer? Is not on Tomasson unwilling to change his style just like Mowbray didn't change from his false 9 formation when it stop working and results went downhill The people higher than the head coach are selecting who their head coach is based on different factors whether its style of play or people who will develop young players or fit the group of players they have at their club. Why do I have to tell you that its positive when its yourself who seems to massive problems with the things above not myself, so maybe you need to answer your own questions why you do?

who says he get involved in team selection? Its quite normal that the Director of football will employ a head coach who will play a specific style and bring through young players. Its the exact same thing GB did when he employed JDT. Did you have issue then? Ismael has been very clever he wants to play front foot football here from next season. Look at Leicester who want to employ Russell Martin as their next head coach cos his style suits the squad there. why you employ a head coach if wants the football club wants to do? Do you accept that Rovers wants to develop our own players from the academy and do you have a problem with this?

Yes you probably said the same thing when Nyambe and Lenihan left yet we bought in Hyam and Brittain. The wage bill is part of the club accounts and signed off by accountants outside of the club. They would have access to more important and knowledge then we do.

Cut costs? The wage bill has roughly been the same over the years

Dolan has been offered a new contract by Rovers but he hasnt signed it. Maybe he will or wont sign a new contract.. it was only a couple of months ago people were slagging him off and pleased he was leaving. Ive said months I would be offering a 4 years contract at 15k a week. Making him one of our highest earners here

Saturday lunch time is going full of twists and turns whether it the playoffs or down the bottom of the league for that last place for relegation

His role has nothing to do with this

Much better than Pears in my opinion

Riis 11 goals this season. More than good enough at this level Woodman, one of the best keepers at this level. Based on what I seen?

All EFL final day games are on Sky Sports

all depends what they do if they do go down. Do they have a plan if they go down? what with the Hemmings family do this summer whether they stay up or not? Does Heckingbottom stay in the summer whether they stay up or not? Plus how do they replace key players like Woodman and Riis? and then the other players either out of contract or on loan Big questions facing the Hemmings family and Ridsdale after next weekend.

fair enough. I was asked by a steward what was my bag which I shown him and he was fine with it. very easy, nothing to hide

thanks for the reply and being able to say who attend the meeting. Will be interesting to see why Adam Owen was there and Anna Melia who was at Man Utd for a number of years. Can I asked only2garners have you step down as Chairman of the fans forum now and have you moved to different role now with the fans forum? if so who has replace you as chair?

Very sensible if they do

look at what has been reported as the fees and you can worked it yourself tbh RF99.

Yes we spent around £3-4m in the summer and around £1m in January Gueye, Toth, Cantwell, Ohashi all cost money to sign in the summer for around £3-4m and in January we signed Karbgo for around £1m. Then add wages aswell

Guess comments like these ❚❚ Searched for 'protest ' in Topics by the way, I'm not saying you are wrong but your point about "don’t expect the match goers to be protesting when the team is winning, won’t happen, neither will a big protest happen at the ground against Watford. So forget about that. Match day protests in any great numbers will be organic and will only occur if the team is on a horror run/bottom of the league. " is spot on and I agree with Mattyblue

Yet he has proven wrong with the results and how the team has played differently to win games

can I asked how many Rovers employed staff were they and who?
