I believe we could advance the Raya Transfer money to this window and not the summer. We would get slightly less But I would be tempted to do if we could bring in new signings to give us some depth and quality
Who would it be advanced from ? Arsenal took him on loan because of their own financial pressures. To borrow money against a future income stream means using “vulture banks” like Macquarie who charge eye-watering interest rates.

Could have listened to an hour of that on Rovers. Felt a shame to move on to PNE so quickly. Good to hear the measured thoughts of a professional...and Kevin Gallacher 😁.
😆

Did a bit at the beginning with Kevin Gallacher on Scott Read’s show tonight.
Gally’s views are definitely worth a listen…😉

We are delighted to have been invited to be one of the founder contributors to this new show On TalkSport2.
The 4000 Holes podcast will be contributing from time to time as requested & the initial show was broadcast tonight at 5pm but can be heard on the TalkSport app listen again feature.
My bit starts at roughly 30 minutes if you fancy a few minutes of my dulcet tones…😳
A more helpful link to the podcast version here for you…

Rovers are asking for mascots for the Wrexham match for £150. The caveat is that they have to provide their own kit and can use any one of the three we have. On a related note I have been told that the players have been told not to swap or give away shirts because the club has run out. Perhaps D-Day Read should be looking into embarrassments like this rather than dreaming up schemes to alienate supporters.
Is this really what we have become?
We can sort out some retro ones 😉

And as for their "support" being "incredible". Mindblowing.
They've supported the club financially, no doubt about that. The near quarter of a billion hole illustrates it. But support to me is so much more than that, particularly in the cut throat world of football.
It's like a boss paying their staff minimum wage, and getting a big pat on the back and thank-you. Forget that they worked 12hr shifts with no break, no H & S equipment provided which caused work injuries, inadequate toilet facilities provided on site etc etc.
The employees revolt and confront the boss and he/she just points to a payslip and says: "Yeah, but look, I paid you!"
Yeah, you did the absolute bare minimum that was required. And expect to be lauded for it.
Not the perfect analogy, but I'm pretty sick of "Yeah, but they pay the bills!", like that even comes close to evaluating their overall performance as owners.
I was interviewed by The Times’ Gregor Robertson a couple of years back & the analogy I used (which he quoted in the paper) was it’s like acquiring a stately home, sacking all the caretakers, groundsmen, maintenance staff etc then being surprised when the place falls down. They then decide to rebuild it…but not to the original size/specification & with fewer maintenance staff etc…

It’s just like fake news on Twitter, someone says it and it’s then repeated until it becomes true.
Smells of episode two of @Herbie6590’s new niche podcast POB (price of Blackburn), titled “Life Before Venkys - what was it like and what is true?” so that we have something on record to revert back to every time younger fans make up that the place was on fire.
Up for it @Miller11 ? 🤔

That Wrexham fan warned against being a fan-owned club. I believe him/her.
If Rovers are ever purely fan-owned, it will probably be in the National League…unless we find another 10000 season ticket holders…a massive shirt sponsor and sell a player for £10m profit each season…

Was thinking about possibility of directors putting Rovers into administration.
Prior to September we had 4, however 1 is non executive therefore its likely he don't get a vote. Which left three, Cheston and Waggott UK based and Babu Indian based.
The suspicious person in me, thinks the appointment of the 4th also Indian based. Was to prevent Waggott and Cheston passing the motion of administration as they'd not have a majority vote.
This is me just thinking and certainly not substantiated ,
Thoughts?
Not totally implausible…but I suspect the Indian director is about providing a direct communications channel to India to help with the exceptions process…🤔

Question for the trust, having listened to Talk sport chat about Reading, have the trust ever looked to disqualify the owners?
I haven’t heard the discussion, but I’m curious as to on what grounds could such an action be taken, by whom, where, what would the desired outcome be ? (Re Reading)
