I didn't past comment on Gray but asked what other fans thought? 

I'm not in favour for several different reasons like age, wages, doesn't fit the style we want to play. 

If Watford offered us 15 million pounds cash then I would accept it

Where's Armstrongs new contract!? 

Either the fax machine is broken or it’s been lost in the post 

The question is why was the proposed sale a mirror to the Coventry sale? With the same three incompetent muppets involved? Who’s running who at the club, I’ve been told by someone who works at the club that Venus makes all the decisions.

Not a very challenging question both are dinasaurs. Pick a more challenging manager to chose from Eddie Howe for me

Hi Joe,

I think I must be going mad. I responded to your message about increased bid by Southampton. It’s not on the thread. Can the mods remove them as this has never happened before. There was nothing offensive is the reply so I’m at a loss.

My lord it’s the pedantic police. So so sorry for offending your sharp brain Mr Spock. Live long and prosper. I hope there’s no spelling mistakes. DON’T SHOUT WHEN REPLYING IT’S NOT CURTEOUS.

When are you going to realise that it doesn’t matter who the manager is Rev, that’s been proven time and time again over the past 10yrs.

It depends on whether or not you think the club can succeed under these owners. If like me you believe the answer to be a firm no, everything else is irrelevant.

They could announce Pep Guardiola as manager tomorrow with Klopp as his number 2 and still balls everything up.

Until Vendys sod off this club will continue to decline, it’s a travesty, we don’t deserve it.

The only thing Venkys have done wrong is being loyal to the gang of three. They should have popped them two years ago. Our supporters are quick to criticise the Venkeys whose only crime is being naive about football. There are far worse owners fat Ashley for one.

So out of 87 applicants, the one we announce, is a mate of Mowbrays.. Lol 

He was not one of 87 he was Mowbrays and Waggotts pick. A one horse race, he’ll bring in Celtic B & C options.

I got told by someone who works with the youth teams that he was headhunted by Mowbray and Waggott. He didn’t apply. They like his style!!

Then look at last seasons final league table.

 

I read the post and your response still doesn’t make sense

If you want bottom half mediocrity keep both.

How can keeping Armstrong equate to bottom half mediocrity? I’d sooner keep him, pot the gang of three, and get promotion. If it means letting Adam go for free it would be a bargain. How can the seasons 2nd top scorer equal mediocrity? I’m at a loss to understand your logic.

So, if we knew an embargo would happen with the EFL, why not just get them in on time to avoid it?  You are either niave or stupid thinking it's all innocent and shame we missed out on all them signings...🙄

Our accounts should have been easier to put together with half a seasons less receipts to process.

The club is run by tossers and you defend them at all costs for some strange reason.🤷‍♂️

Hi Sparks you’re absolutely right. I work in Finance for a billion pound multinational. Monthly accounts are finished in 5 working days. The year end including external audits is approximately 2 weeks as they are in the business from the start of the process. We are owned by an Indian parent company so the lunes from Pune will also have similar working practices. Chester the clown should be shown the door. Sorry he’s only the bitch for Waggot. He must have the dirt on Madam! Definitely incompetence by the clown and his master.

I don’t think Madame would hire Pulis, I suspect she’d bring Kean back. He’s been in Asia and it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s had his tongue in something wet and brown. He’ll want to come back to Blighty and rebuild his reputation.

Superniko I’ve gone back over the thread and I’m in agreement with your calculations. The red and anticipation of the match made me skim the message. I’m never too big to own up to a mistake.

Do you have any evidence of what you’re claiming? For someone that’s ‘chilled out’, you’ve got a very aggressive posting style.

Wouldn’t hurt you to simmer down.

Does the original poster have any evidence?  I suppose your view of chilled out is to ignore the post. Tell you what I’m ignoring yours.

Calm down dear.

Either way it's not in our overall interests to sell imo with such a penal sell on clause.

I’m chilled drinking red and waiting on the match to start. Can’t believe some people’s understanding of football deals.

I believe 60% of profit means we also get the £1.75m as whole. i.e in your example 60% of £8.25m = £6.3m + £1.75m = £8.05m.

For £10m net we'd need to sell for £15.5m total. (We get £10m and Newcastle get £5.5m)

I’ve never heard of such bullshit. They are only entitled to 40% ABOVE the original transfer fee. Not the 40% AND the £1.75m they’ve already received. Do you have any evidence that this is in the contract, if not stroll on.

The club will know if it can sign players or not, and if not, why. Im specifically interested in Rovers. Can we sign anyone?

It’s clear we are in embargo until EFL ratify the accounts. They are the ones to make the decision and Rovers can’t say why we are in embargo. The tread and LT has made that clear.

4 hours ago, roversfan99 said:

The club have never clarified and indeed our local journalist is unclear as to whether the delay in submission or FFP iregularites are the cause of any embargo and how long it will last. How are you so sure?

Charlie Wyke can only dream of Kieffer Moore. But the current system certainly didnt succeed anyway so its needs looking at either way. The fact that we still have Mowbray means that he will carrying on failing with it anyway and even if we signed someone like Wyke, he would play wide.

Why could the club clarify? They had to submit by the 30th June which has been done. It’s the EFL that should explain why the embargo is in place. They have not announced which clubs have been included and why, so vent your spleen at them.

Not sure if you're joking or not but I'll give that a miss thanks! 😅

 

Id have thought there'd be an article of some kind about it in the LT if it had all been settled, but I've not seen anything so just assumed there's been no real change. 

 

Sorry if I'm wrong and sorry if I've upset you with my thoughts precious 🤗

Read the LT over the last week, accounts submitted to CH, delay processing due to COVID, should be EFL now. One sentence covers current status. My precious🧐

22 minutes ago, Armchair supporter supremo said:

Have the clubs acounts been submitted yet or are we still under embargo?

 

Any talk of incoming transfers is just nauseating until that's completely settled. 

If you have read this nauseating thread you’d be aware of the situation. Go back over the 153 pages and you’ll find out

Probably if your Derby or other “big” clubs. Little Rovers

@crimpshine has made some great points in his posts on here over many months and probably years. Always with the interests of the club at heart it seems. I respect his opinion and he doesn't seem divisive.

Or do you just like your binaries @JohnGo?  😀

I’ve never had one what do they taste like. I’ve a couple of low hang fruit that I’ve been told taste good and does you good.
