An unbelievably pathetic statement. We're a fucking shambles from top to bottom.

Hawking Szmodics around to anyone and everyone right now then I'd imagine.

For McGuire to give that interview, say what he said and reject a contract at his current club, I'd imagine he has enough potential options on the table for him to burn any bridges with us.

Actually think if JDT was still here, this deal would be still on. I'm sure he'd be able to impress McGuire in a few meetings/phone calls, in that way. Now it's Waggott and JE, it's dead in the water.

Can't blame McGuire for not wanting to join us. We must have looked like a real amateur outfit with the January balls up. We need to move on, heads have rolled it seems (Broughton, Silvester). Who knows if they were the ones culpable for this but we know Venkys/board pulled the plug on the first deal. Just a shitshow all round basically.

As always, comparisons to K**n & Coyle are way wide of the mark. He's got some distance to go before he reaches those levels.

They won't want to play in league 1 but Birmingham will still want good money for them. Not sure on the financial situation at Birmingham (historically has always been a mess?), but if they are under no pressure, they'll get closer to market value which will rule us out immediately. If they have a fire sale, the players will have better options than Rovers in the championship.

I expect Birmingham will be his first port of call. However, any decent ones will command a higher fee than we have monies available, so it will be any players League 1 Birmingham don't want/release.

Could be this summer's Niall Ennis.

Duru signs a new contract. First team material? He's 19, so shouldn't be out of the question.

Can't see McGuire signing for us, he must be sick of the sight of us by now. Plus, I imagine he'll cost good money, which we are unlikely to spend.

We'll be lucky to spend £700k - £1m this summer. We are absolutely not spending £10m+ this summer. People need some serious re-evaluation of their expectation levels.

Playing him in one of the wide attacking roles is borderline criminal, not only does he offer nothing as a winger but it means we'd be neglecting to buy an actual one as we'd be just dumping Gallagher out there.

Giving Gallagher a new deal, dreadful stuff. Absolutely sums up this regime, just the easiest, laziest solution to any problem.

He'd probably play better in a JE setup, as opposed to JDT's as well, tbh.

100%. We are set for a summer of further cutbacks and no money to spend. Probably why the rumours of signing Fleck and Fadz back up are swirling. Looks like we'll get the job done proper next season, bottom 3 no doubts. FFS the season finished a week ago and we are already a fucking shambles.

Broughton has been on borrowed time for a while now. After ballsing up 3 (3!!) transfers under his watch it was only a matter of time till he was sacked. As others have said, a clear (and clever) power grab move by Waggott. If they replace him, it'll probably be a Waggott recommendation, which will undoubtedly be lower in the food chain than he is.

I've not watched the interview but saying he'd jump at a prem move sounds like a come and get me plea, probably his last/only chance of a move to a PL club. The point about Eustace is a concern as these types of managers tend to start well and end badly, over a reasonably short period of time.

Didn't even know he joined Reading

Was going to say, letting Gallagher go and bringing in another injury prone, 5 goals per season striker, is exactly what we need to avoid.

Certainly not if those 3 clubs are genuinely interested

There was no timescale on Flecks latest injury but he had to go and have surgery for it. I can't imagine he'll be back anytime soon, he's 32 years old and has played about 2 games in the last 2 years. I can't for the life of me see why he would get a new contract.

Jesus wept, what a start to the summer window. If this is where we are at, another relegation battle looms. When is he even back fit? (Never, I assume)

I know who's tweeted it but assume he's got that stat from somewhere else.

They spent a bit of money, didn't they? Assuming the owners wanted playoffs as a minimum.
