Carry on like we are for much longer and we won't have a pitch to worry about.

We shouldn't come to any conclusion on the basis of highlights of one game should we?

So they could support us but they won't?

All true but we're still effectively chasing one spot not 3. No argument whatsoever about the culpability of the owners and those running the club.

Don't expect anything.There's no money to run the club in the foreseeable future. We'll get by by selling everyone anyone wants till we have nothing left to sell. At that point Venkys will surely wriggle back down their hole and we'll be left with what?

Well I didn't say impossible, I said very hard! 3 promotion places available in theory----1 in practice.

Its like Burnley, will have a Premier League season for one season, followed by a promotion season the next. Very hard for the rest of us to get out of this League.

One poster said Peterborough had "pulled our pants down" when we paid £1.5M for Sammi!

ie---we don't have any money right now but would you mind waiting?

Or maybe not? Nobody is allowed to make a decision and the window closes, not with a bang but with a whimper. We should be used to it by now. 😭

The tragedy of the Wharton deal is that only one Premier League club seemed interested. We didn't have an auction. What is wrong with their scouting system that only Palace were prepared to buy him at that price? They'll be scrambling all over themselves to pay double should he ever become available. Why did we accept such a low sum? Because Venkys were desperate, it provided funding for the running of the club for x months without which we would have gone into administration. There was no Plan B, we would have accepted anything remotely near his real value. This was never a football decision.

and we managed it twice in the years before Jack when we had no money at all!

Is Baker better than Travis? Its obvious he's meant to be the replacement.

But you'd agree that we've been down this road before? And the outcome is usually (nearly always) negative? No reason to be optimistic is there?

Indian legal matters are notorious for dragging on! This could last years. With dire consequences for us if they don't sell.

Fair enough I wasn't having a go at you. i was just saying that none or our players now are exceptional. Its not an excuse for tham to sell them though.

Well said.

The whole squad isn't exceptional!! The only exceptional player we've had recently is Adam Wharton. We're a Championship team and Travis does a very reasonable job in it. If we got £3M for him where would it go? On somebody better? That's not our track record is it?

W're relying on Buckley? Really? And suppose Tronstad gets injured? Selling Travis is just another weakening of the team for no good reason.

If I were Travis and wanted to stay that's would I would do. I'd see my contract out and the ball would be in Rovers court. "Either offer me a new contract or I leave for nothing to a club of my choice".

Travis has started the season in great form. We're short of bodies. Absolutely no logical reason to sell him whatsoever. So what's the illogical reason?

Anyone see the Cardiff keepers blunder? Made Pears look good.

If he doesn't go to Hull.

I thought he must be getting on! Thanks for that.

The state we're in?
