What could possibly go wrong with that eh?

For once I actually like the plan. 

to become a sustainable premier league club.

takes time but would/will be fantastic if Broughton can pull it off.

How is a midfield of 18/19/20 year olds going to get you out of the Championship and established in the Premier League?

It’s not, not immediately. Once you develop the said 18/19/20 year olds. Then you stand a chance.

I get the fact that he shouldnt be written off, one at best average but difficult transfer window in. But on the flip side, why do you (and others) have seemingly ultimate faith? 

For me, I am still in the middle.

I don’t have ultimate faith. Just glad there is what seems a plan in place and we are working towards that. Got to have a plan in place otherwise we will get no where.

getting hirst and mola here has`nt exactly made a great impression on me,at least he can`t get any worse on the recruitment front,it`s virtually impossible to get two worse players than those two

Every recruitment team gets it’s wrong sometimes. Even the best teams in the world. Now we have a fully staffed recruitment team in post, I would like to think we will get most transfers correct - will never be 100%.

he’s working from the owners strategic plan. To be a sustainable premiership club. You are only getting that through using the academy that we will be paying soon around 4 million for per year and buying young players to develop.

Cant be buying established players unfortunately unless we get a bargain and the players come from a club who don’t pay a lot (Hyam)

An academy guy all his previous career who for reasons only the likes of Suhail and Waggott know was appointed as DoF of a Championship club to learn on the job whilst running all football Departments below Boardroom level.

Maybe we're being harsh thinking he's out of his depth and really just the innocent victim hired to deflect away from the real villains.

 

He’s had clear progression within his career.

Head of Academy recruitment
Academy manager

Academy director 

Holds both UEFA pro licence and Football Association Technical Director qualifications.

Natural progression would be to take a sporting director role. 

He’s fully qualified to do the job.

Based on the fact he hasn't delivered anything so far. Talks a good game 

He’s been in the post just over 6 months, is the head of several departments within Rovers. How can you judge his performance in such a short space of time? I like what’s he done so far and think given more time will be a great asset for the club.

Why does anyone have any faith in Broughton? 

Seems like (another) overpaid BS merchant based on performance to date.

Based on what?

I think he only played 14 matches? Not sure I’d call that instrumental.

Apologies, instrumental in their 15 game unbeaten run.

Bournemouth fans think Kilkenny has alot of potential. 

Shows for the ball and links play through the thirds.  I’m willing to see how this one pans out.

Was instrumental in the championship for them when they got promoted.

Wharton coming on.

Tyler Morton coming on.

Slab head again, such a clumsy mf. 

Hand ball all day long by slab head.

Just now, roverandout said:

He really doesn't rate Wharton does he? Our most talented midfielder and he never gets a look In. Gobshite

Do you ever have anything positive to say?

thanks Hanley you slab head 👍

Just now, Crozzy said:

Can you tell us more about Wharton injury?

Head injury - concussion sub

Im watching live and its perfect...

the BRFCS team have had to edit this post before we end up with another legal letter

Not got out of our half so far. Sloppy by Adam and then Scott dives in. Been shit.

The guy commentary on my stream is useless. Must of got him from the pub before kickoff.

Like all good transfer and manager rumours, without a source it’s just attention-seeking bullshit.
 

Id say they ain’t doing a full on training session the day before a 12.30 kick off.

I 100% agree with you.

Just passing on what I've been told.

Please don't shoot the messenger, just letting you know what I've heard...

Apparently Diaz pulled up in training this morning.
