  1. Is that £15k a basic wage or the maximum he can earn including bonuses? It's not as simple as plucking a figure out of the air as contracts are complex and can be onerous. With bonuses £15k could easily become £20k.
  2. Three weeks ago who would have thought that we would be in with even a slim playoff chance? The only certainty about following Rovers is the uncertainty.
  3. Get him booked on the train and granddad can pay 😁 10:13 Manchester Piccadilly TransPennine Express Advance Single Manchester Piccadilly, Victoria, Oxford Road or Deansgate to Sheffield 11:08 Sheffield t 15:11 Sheffield TransPennine Express Advance Single Sheffield to Manchester Piccadilly, Victoria, Oxford Road or Deansgate 16:09 Manchester Oxford Road
  4. I'm guessing you got them 😁
  5. I really hope the phone signal at Bramhall Lane is better than it was at Leicester and Millwall on the last day of the previous two seasons. With all the likely permutations it will be purgatory again having to rely on somebody several rows away keeping us updated.
  6. Looking for omens? This season so far we are unbeaten in our three games in Yorkshire.
  7. Charlie Olson scored at the weekend. Unfortunately it was of the OG variety.
  8. The number at the time of the meeting is what will be reported.
  9. I don't understand why the number of season tickets sold up to the meeting couldn't have been released. It would be open to interpretation or opinion but is a fact and shouldn't need approval from anywhere.
  10. Being specific and reporting 'over the weekend' sales is strange. Why they haven't just given an up to date total is odd. The number given to the FF will be interesting (I really don't understand why it's been held back btw) and it won't take a genius to work out the total number sold so far.
  11. For the players there will be win bonuses, clean sheet bonuses and other benefits but I really don't believe a professional footballer would go into a game and not want to win.
  12. Don't we have a Head of Special Deliveries yet? It's about time we bloody well did.
  13. If he has been offered a deal worth £8k a week it sums us up as a club with priorities in the wrong place when you consider he will have just about have parity with a useless CEO. One is an asset, the other is liability.
  14. I do wonder if agents fees are included in any budgets or indeed how they can budget for them when they don't know how much they will be. The latest figures show that we spent £1.1m on agents fees.
  15. I have a bet with a Nobber friend on who will finish higher in the league. A few weeks ago there were only a few points in It and we had nosedived massively. It's remarkable how quickly fortunes can change in a league like the Championship.
  16. And he nearly scored again yesterday with a good effort from twenty yards which narrowly missed. One general observation I have made is that we do seem to be shooting more often. Perhaps not enough at times but it seems to be moving in the right direction.
  17. Dolan has always been an enigma who could excite and frustrate us in equal measure. He has probably put together the best run of his Rovers career recently and has been consistently picked by four managers. From his demeanour when he was substituted and at the end I would think he's going and has known this for a while. But we should praise him as his effort and commitment has never been doubted unlike Brereton and Rothwell who effectively downed tools.
  18. I was listening to some Sunderland fans as we were walking back to the car last Monday and my impression was that they were worried at the loss of form and momentum going into the playoffs. It appears that worry has turned into anger yesterday. Not a good sign for them.
  19. Both of them have been given chances recently and just haven't impressed and neither of them got much game time under the previous manager. I think the general consensus amongst supporters would be the same. The fact they have come through the Academy is wholly irrelevant and I believe both would be far better off moving on for the sake of their careers.
  20. I saw the third part of the documentary about Wrexham last week and their ownership runs much deeper than the football. Their work in the community is another big factor in the story. For example a Wrexham fan was approaching his 100th birthday and one of the two owners (Rob I think) turned up at the guys house to wish him happy birthday. He stayed for a natter and a brew. He was then introduced to the fans before the next game and they have him a 100 second applause. There were other plans they had like redeveloping areas of the town. I vaguely recall our lot promising something similar with regard to the community. Just another empty promise.
  21. For the third season running we go into the last day of the season with something to play for. It's rarely boring being a Rovers supporter.
  22. They will have Blackpool instead 😂. Wigan and Bolton too.
  23. I heard on Radio Lancashire on the way home that Nobbers haven't won away from home on a Saturday all season. Be afraid..... 😂
