JE shifting very quickly through the exit plan, the guy has learned well from JDT. Now onto phase 2, distancing himself from the transfer shit show and putting the pressure onto others. "Nothing to do with me, I just coach the team" Phase 3 coming soon: "You'll need to ask Steve Waggott about transfers"

There is only 1 person on this entire board that doesn't smell the coffee.

Subs: Buckley Markanday Garrett Vale Gent O' Riordan Tyjon Leonard Hilton Good luck trying to change a game John!

---------------------Pears Brittain---Carter--Hyam---Pickering ------------Tronstad----Travis JRC-----------Sigurdsson-------Hedges ----------------------Dolan 😮🤯 that is the best 11 we can currently put out, should Szmodics and Gallagher leave. Yikes. (And that entire front 4 love a good stint on the treatment table)

Really? I mean, I don't rate the guy but if it's him or Vale leading the line for the season, it's going to be Gallagher everytime. What's the fucking plan here?

The saviour has arrived! All hail Vale!

OK? 🤷‍♂️ You won't get what you want and the money won't go back into the squad. So it's all irrelevant anyway.

Feels like this will be a very busy thread this season. 🗣 We want Venkys Out!, We want Venkys Out!, We want Venkys Out!, We want Venkys Out!

He's been left out of the squad again today, so even though nothing has been accepted, it's only a matter of time now.

It's just an embarrassment for the fans. The owners/Waggott don't give a toss about results/fans.

Oh, I know it's not his fault, just he'll likely adopt a more defensive approach, much like he did when he first joined. But with no pace/quality upfront it'll see a plethora of draws/defeats. I certainly won't be blaming him for anything, we all know where the blame lies. #VenkysOut

We're pretty much guaranteed to be the lowest scorers in the league. With Eustace in charge we'll be drawing our way to relegation. We're not going to win many games.

Look at the state of that. Gallagher and Sigurdsson are no strangers to the treatment table, with Szmodics off the depth in this squad is comical.

Gotta keep those subscriptions coming in.

2 loans, Fadz, Fleck, Ohashi and one (for a fee) we couldn't get over the line at the last minute. Relegation.

*Speaking about tomorrow's game: "A more senior look to tomorrow's game against Wigan?" "Yeah, with the 11 players we've got left" (wry smile) A veiled dig at the lack of transfers?

It's all sounding depressingly familiar. Rovers entertaining bids for their star man and the manager pleading via the media that the club needs to reinvest money into the club. Essentially, like JDT did, starting to lay the ground work for an exit when no money is spent, the squad remains paper thin, devoid of quality and struggling in the league.

Defenders are coming

He seems very quiet as well (in interviews at least), appreciate it can be different on the pitch bit he doesn't strike me as good captain material. I'd be giving the armband back to Travis tbh.

When you add in how much we've brought into the club and are likely to be adding £8m more in a Szmodics sale, near £40m in total, it's all very depressing. Totally unacceptable.

Yep terrible planning all round and it's now smacking of a desperate signing. The Ohashi deal dragging into next week isn't good news either, as it just gives more time for us to fuck it up.

Agreed on the keeper, Pears is no where near good enough and we'll always struggle if he's our No.1. A new No.1 has to be a priority.

Hang on, Ohashi has gone from like a £500k signing, to a £150k signing, to a free transfer?? How has that happened? Something doesn't seem right here.

Announcing Ohashi and And an U21 signing and then confirming Szmodics departure would be hugely fucking infuriating
