JRC leaving isn't a shock, clearly not rated by VI. He's fallen victim to his injuries, lack of pace and to some extent, his versatility. He's been a good player for us and was excellent under JDT. Difficult to see where he fits in now though. As always with these clowns, it's only the right move if the money is wisely reinvested. (which is won't be)

There it is. Well spotted. Yeah, suspect timing on that link coming out, straight after the fans are fuming about our joke club not offering new contracts to our better players. So, file Mannsverk under the usual, of just being a name to make it look like we're actually doing something.

Sounds like Mannsverk would be coming as a Tronstad replacement. No idea if he's any good but it's a risky move letting Tronstad go, he's a key component in our starting 11. Seems mad that we'd spend good money on tweaking centre mid, arguably out strongest position with Trav and Tronstad, when the right wing is in dire need of an upgrade.

Some positive news! Seems like a great effort from the club to keep him because, as you say, he's had some pretty big admirers recently.

Has he finally gone?

Weren't we in advanced talks with him like 3 weeks ago?

So clubs could spend whatever they wanted, unchecked in League One but you're forced to follow the rules in the Championship? (possibly not anymore as noted by others)

How do they circumvent the rules to be able to spend so much? The same rules that "force" us to sign players for £250k

Hull next?

I highly doubt it, seems like ages ago the word from LET was that contract talks with Brittain were positive and a deal was close. Total silence since. I have no doubts that the club have 0 interest in renewing any of those contracts, due to the uplift in salary they can all now command.

Fucking hell, their away kit will be blue & white halves at this rate. Serious though, I think Eustace has a lot of pull with our players combined with a decent payrise, we could be in trouble. Brittain is an excellent full back and we will absolutely not be able to replace him with a better player, or even one of equal abiity.

Absolutely horrific news. Just got married, has 3 young kids & his brother also died in the crash. RIP

Yep, highly unlikely we'd get promoted under these clowns. We'd be in league one until we got new owners, which we probably wouldn't

Literally unable to compete financially with Oxford. We're in trouble!

Weimann also announced by Derby. 2 down, 1 to go for them.

Batth to Derby confirmed. 1 year contract

Did the Sheff Wed players get paid, has anyone seen any updates?

Yeah, that's fair. Feels like off the back of his loan, he probably could have gotten a move elsewhere, especially on a free, so maybe indicated he'd only be willing to sign a short term deal, so he's not tied to Rovers for 4 years and is essentially loaned out for all 4 years. He'll be earning jack shit here, so he probably would have been better off moving on and establishing himself at a lower level. It's all pure speculation on my part. Just an odd deal all round.

I wonder if the 1 year contract length was more Batty's preference than Rovers. I guess this is his last attempt at making it here, if he signed a 4 year contract, he'd just be loaned out again. If he doesn't make it, he should be able to get a free transfer to a league 1/2 team, based on his performances on loan last season.

Their actions certainly suggest that

Wrexham lining up Lewis O'Brien for £5m, according to Nixon. Another club viewing Rovers in their rear view mirror.

Venky's just continue to be a huge embarrassment for the club and seem determined to drive us further and further down. We'll be a league one club soon enough.
