We'll be scrambling around at 4-30pm on the last day of the Transfer Window as per usual. We'll be scrapping for what other clubs didn't want.

Perhaps Venkys have seen he's done with £7M and won't risk anymore?

It probably means his trip to Pune didn't go his way (or our way!) Time for me to remind everybody that we will never prosper under Venkys! Edit---you said this yourself in a later post!

Collect mid-fielders, don't play them or play them in the wrong position, ignore the defence------ seems to be our transfer "strategy." Also, generally. leave new players on sidelines while they learn to "adapt" to our unique style of play.

That Leeds lad is supposed to be walking around in a Rovers kit isn't he? Only 19 though.....

It always seems to take months to get out of the ground eh?

Not getting a response from am I Paul Mani?

I agree we should only judge TM by the end of a Transfer Window. I did, a year ago! Same old bullshit, same outcome----that's what I fear.

Hardly surprising that the Brereton link came out of nowhere! Unfortunately it was true.

I want Hanley to return, I just hope TM doesn't mention he'll have to fight for his place!Classic managerial error!!

You repeat every post that Bauer was told he would have to fight for his place and therefore he chose Preston, where presumably his place is automatic and he won't have to fight for it. Is there any proof of this? Does anyone actually know this is true? Or do you simply say it over and over again to try to make it fact?

I actually went on to say "and if there is one why should the MB get the blame?" or words to that effect!

If he was demanding a lot of money, he wouldn't have gone to Preston

Then he's one! I actually think I remember him posting that. 2 points: its a view he's entitled to take. One person's view should not become a stick with which to beat the MB in general

Ha! "Strawman Alert"! Who said TM should be sacked on the sole basis that he signed Brereton? And if there was one why should the MB be condemned for it? "Disagreeing with a view on a website isn’t “decency” police, what else is this place for?"-----that should be addressed to Atko's Engine (great name by the way)

You've hit the nail on the head there. Never have I thought that TM was desperate to get us back in the Premiership asap. Professional football is not a leisurely stroll.

Yes---but you often make good points too!

Keeper?

No, I don't think relegation is on the cards but without those signings I referred to and if we lost Dack/Lenihan, I think we 'd be in the lower regions of the division. Remember we has a terrific start to last season with the momentum carrying over from our promotion season. Mulgrew is one year older and so is Graham, our sole decent striker. Raya was playing well till he got that face injury. So we are vulnerable without the right signings.

There was a spitting incident earlier too, gobbed all over our player's arm. How could there not be a sending off for the stamp? How could a ref look at the VAR and not give a red card for that? Reckon she was scared to. Some of those Cameroon players were bloody mental, one in particular. Incredible.

Depends. If we don't improve the defence very significantly and we lost Dack, I could see us struggling. We are still as weak in key areas as we were a year ago. Keeper, centre-back, full-back and central striker. 4/5 desperately needed and they need to be capable of going straight in.

He was great in Div 1 and still gives everything but not good enough for the Championship. No ill-will against him from anyone really, we all wanted him to succeed.

Its given you stamina, that's for sure!

Nice post but I really hope you won't get the chance to welcome Smallwood! There's every possibility you will though.

Jesus wept! I'm responding to your post which said "God I would love it if we did very well this season. The word eating would be good". I was attempting to point out how childish that was but, as usual, its lost on you. I never said you said "we will do very well". Get your brain in gear! Please remind me never to respond to your posts, its like Biz on steroids.
