In his highlights on YouTube makes him look a bit like Macquire. He is physical and fairly quick but has a good shot on him, so maybe a better bet than Gallagher.

Thank you. Is he any good and how likely is he to come?

Sorry have I missed something, what German lad?

They used to say that they would cover costs but we would have to generate transfer funds from sales. Well we have done that (almost £30M) but they have changed the goal posts again and are shafting us. I have never wanted rid of them more than I do at the moment. I used to be grateful for the funding they provided to keep us going, but now they are taking the p**s.

It’s such a golden opportunity to play hardball and insist on valid answers rather than being fobbed off. We have to show them that the fans are not going to take the usual bill***t. For anybody attending please be brave, resilient and ask repeated questions to get the answers we need. How can Venkies possibly carry on when they can’t fund us and we will be cast iron favourites for relegation.

I think that Sigurdson could do very well playing in the number 10 role if/when we sell Sam Szmodics. He would have to sign an extension to his current contract otherwise we would not benefit if he turned out a brilliant success there as he only has one year left on his contract.

If there’s one person who Will desperately need a good pre-season training it’s Fadz

We won’t score a single goal with that line up!!

Please continue to be positive Chaddy , I for one appreciate it. It’s all too easy to think the worst, because that’s what we have come to expect with SW and Venkies, but preseason is the time for optimism. It is very depressing being a Rovers fan at the best of times, but reading the majority of the posts on here can make you suicidal. Chaddy, keep the hope alive!!

Fair comment, but we could miss out on potentially good signings, especially if freebies or loans, if we are slow to act just to save a couple of months salary. You are right though it will be how SW will be thinking because he is useless and has no vision.

Perhaps someone can have a word with Tim Faron, our famous liberal MP supporter, to bring it up with the people in govt looking into football matters.

Another 25%, are they actively trying to get us relegated? If things are that bad they need to sell up fast and go!! It doesn’t sound like “funding will not be affected “ rings true. SW lying again, shock, horror, hold the front page.

What about loaning Rak-Sakyi. (?) from Crystal Palace?

I’d love to loan or if we have money to spend buy Jay Stansfied and loan with a view to buy Tom Cannon. Add a rapid tricky winger and we could have quite a forward line. Also, I’d sell Siggy if he isn’t going to sign an extension to his contract.

If that is correct, SW should be sacked for gross incompetence!!

Totally agree. Good post.

Playing Fadz means we will persist with 5 at the back, which is fine for shutting out top class opposition but not for normal opponents. We need to play 4 at the back in order to create chances for our useless forwards ( excl Sammie) to score.

I thought that he was 6 foot tall.

Thank God for that!!!!! I posted previously that Rovers would lose to Sheffield Wednesday and Coventry and win away at Leicester keeping the agony going, because that is what Rovers do!! Obviously they got a point against Coventry but my point remains.

Trying to be optimistic here, everyone thought that we would get hammered at Leeds, but we ended up winning. So, getting a draw against a team already champions is possible as long as we don’t leave ourselves exposed at the back, as they are a counter attacking side. Parking the bus could work, but if we concede first we are screwed. At least it is in our hands.

That doesn’t bode well.

I think that a back four without the slow McFazdean in it would be the best way to go. Last week Wednesday encouraged us to come forward so that they could catch us on the break, I think that Coventry will do the same. Our defence is a bag of nerves at the moment so we can expect another fast hard press from their forwards. Let’s hope that the defenders just keep it simple and safety first. If we don’t give goals away we might actually draw or nick a win. After Coventry’s cheating hand ball goal last year we deserve a bit of karma this year with a win. Unfortunately life doesn’t work that way, so fingers crossed for at least an error free display by Rovers.

Just a thought, an even more slimmed down side in league one will not require £20M a year to sustain. Venkies keep club, save face save money and sod the supporters.

The point is that we shouldn’t have sold him!!

If he’d banned away supporters we would still have lost.
