He’s only been signed as cover for a young and exciting right wingback that they have ( not the one they are selling ), so he be warming the bench most of the time. However, if he has set himself up for life with a great salary then maybe he’ll be happy. Sadly, I think the same will apply to Lennihan

But you can only sell if there are willing buyers. If the only buyer wants to leave it until the last day to buy at a bargain price what can you do? The only option is to lower the price to a ridiculous level to entice buyers early which is something the owners will never do as they have their price and they will stick with it.

We can’t let him go for nothing at the end of the season, so unless there are early offers, any sensible team (like we do) leave it late to get him on the cheap. Consequently GB would have to sell him even if it is deadline day. If there is no solid bids before then what can you expect him to do? Football is a dog eat dog business.

We pay lower bottom half of the championship wages and that (or worse) is where we’ll end up. If we can’t win the race against one other team when the player actually played for the manager, then we will only end up with players who nobody else are interested in. Very sad and disappointing.

Or just flown straight to Portugal.

Very good point.

Surely we haven’t still been paying the salaries of Williams, Bell, Mulgrew, Bennett, Evans, Holtby, Armstrong, Downing, Smallwood, Leutwiler?

He won the league twice with Celtic albeit without Rangers in the league at the time. I appreciate that it is not much of an ask in the circumstances but he has had success elsewhere hasn’t he? I am genuinely trying to find out how good he actually is.

If we are trying to follow Brentford’s system why don’t we entice some of their best recruitment people here, it would probably prove very cost effective.

Why do you prefer Knudsen over Delia, what do you have against Deila he seems to have Been successful wherever he has been?

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hi, what do you know about Deila, would he be a great appointment?

His nickname in the England squad was “village”, short for village idiot so I am not hoping it’s him!!

Don’t worry Lowe will put some cones out, we’ll be okay. 😊

If the new manager is being forced to work with Benson and Lowe we are definitely not going to get anyone decent. The compensation for them would be way less than the money we’ll lose with Darragh and Ryan leaving. A good manager would have been able to keep them. We are not showing the players any ambition with the way we are going about this.

Why, he was very poor at Bournemouth when you consider the players they had?

I wasn’t dismissing him I was just pointing out the fact. Farke was also sacked. I would take either one myself.

He wasn’t a success in his last job, West Brom I think.

If they have made promises about resources and budgets to Farke so that he comes, I fear that it will end up like the Lambert scenario, failed promises so leaves us and we are back to square one.

Why aren’t we also looking at Mark Robins of Coventry?

Hi Glen are you confident about the new season? If Farke comes as you have predicted, do you think that he can do for Rovers what he did for Norwich? By that I mean get us promoted and playing exciting football. How high do rate the chance of Waggot etc Pulling off the signing of Farke and his back room staff?

Definitely. Looks areal cool customer.

Unfortunately they don’t know the meaning of the word urgent and can’t understand how important it is to act quickly, as in “the early bird catches the worm”. They have a huge organisation and we are unfortunately too far down the “pecking” order. I think we are regarded as a hobby/project and so are not deserving of their attention in a timely manner. They either do not learn from their mistakes or they don’t care if we don’t get the signing we need whether that be a manager or a player.

Zeefuik at £3.5M is a none starter for me. I’d much prefer the Barnsley RB.

Or, sorry Daniel, Ainsworth’s power point presentation was much slicker than yours, he’s got the job.
