Blackpool interest in taking 2 players on Loan, Garrett and Gilsenan. 

That's OK in itself but who's gonna be on the bench----the under-12s?

Hook it to my veins. Hope this is their Steve Kean moment, the six fingered gobshite throbbers.

I wish they'd gone for Rooney but Frank will do!

Have Reading recruited well?

I just associate Bowen with one of the happiest times to be a Rover. Hope that some of that would rub off.

Just catching up…. But to summarise.

If you think someone is being bullied, report it. 
If you’ve had a post hidden and want to query it, DM a mod, or ask in ‘ask admin’, please don’t clog up the thread querying it! 
With the poster on everyone’s lips, it seems so frequent that I’m having to explain this, but, if we treat it as bullying, we are seen as over protecting, if we do nothing, we are seen as being accessories to bullying. Ergo, we can’t win.

In any case nothing resembling bullying on these recent pages. If a number of people disagree with his posts why shouldn't they say so? No bad language, no insults but its not nursery class.

I saw Mark Bowen's name linked on here as a possible replacement for Broughton. In light of this https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c0jjg9lp3vpo I can't see it happening.

I can't see it either. I'd like to!

Coventry sold their best 2 players last summer and still made top 10 and FA cup semi final. 

But we didn't! We avoided relegation on the last day!

So what point are you trying to make? I honestly don't follow.

are you taking the piss? They were clearly the best 2 players there FFS! 

Its as clear as all the those posts you reply to with "that's just your opinion and I don't agree with it "(without saying "why" of course).

It kills debate---can you not see that?

Again, that's just your opinion and I don't share it! 😀

Most teams last season didn't spend more than £5m net spend 

So what. We're talking about Rovers and an inadequate squad. Most teams didn't sell their best player in January for that matter.

There is a better chance of me having dinner with Taylor Swift and persuading her to buy Rovers.

What world do you live in!?

If we were to spend £5M it might keep us in the Championship.

We need more than that to be a serious contender.

Not a season to look forward to.

You’d have a good view then.

Used to be packed at the time, usually with away supporters. We always went right up the back.

There was very rarely any trouble.

Or Real Madrid.

I think we’d receive £40,000 ‘compensation’ under the Elite Player Performance Plan.

I’m basing that on the belief he’s only been with us for one year.

They’d then be some possible (but fixed) future compensation based on appearances.

Not much is it? As bad as nothing.

Could he go for free?

At 16 I think he would.

Nixon's at it again. A 16 year old this time.

As a Crystal Palace fan I just want to say what a fantastic player we’ve bought from you guys. He just does the basics so well. Control, passing, tackling etc… nothing outrageous but just so consistent. He covers the pitch very well and is very disciplined in his positioning. Well ahead of his age. He stepped up to the team because we had a number of injuries in that position and he’s gone from strength to strength. I honestly hope he stays with us for many years and we can get some sort of success - cup or European place. 

We honestly hope you sell him for zillions, then we can at least get some decent money for all we did.

They’re Billionaires. £20m is a drop in the ocean. 

Not in the top league though. A recent estimate I saw put their wealth at £1.6 billion---and there's 3 of them.

Why spend it on a football club faraway?

However that leads to"why not sell then?" And there's no answer for that.

Duff

That was certainly the narrative coming out of the club, and it does have merit. We’ll see next season. Hopefully he gets the attacking players we desperately need. 

Oh to see a real winger again!
