  1. As I do a whole range of ......for Dummies including Marketing, Management, Psychology etc. Excellent guides for staff members!
  2. Sorry if you seem to struggle to understand simple statements. I said savings of that magnitude through wage savings and net transfer funds. Forward me your email address and I'll send you an electronic version of 'Finance for Dummies'.
  3. Out: Tosin, Downing, Graham, Walton, Samuel, Smallwood, Leutwiler and Hart. Factor in employers' NI and that's some £6million off the wage bill for a start. Net off Kaminski and Ayala and you will be a few £million in pocket.
  4. Hasn't the wage bill been slashed? The window is still open for departures!
  5. I'm not that feckin old! Look, if I hear something I post it along with names like Michel the French goalie (posted weeks ago and then Sharpe in LT mentioned) and Juklerod (posted yesterday). I think Rovers' transfer 'policy'- if you can call it that- is all over the place and I very much doubt even Mowbray knows what will happen when he walks into 'the building' each day. IMO, there will be one 'big' departure before the window closes, mainly to help the cash position and partially to facilitate a couple or so of permanent signings.
  6. Still think our player trading strategy is made up as we go along. Think messaging is mixed. Hearing WBA fancy Armstrong - they are a yo yo club and if they go straight back down, would see Arma as the man to fire them straight back.
  7. I understand Juklerod (plays down the left side in defence or midfield) who plies his trade in Belgium has been tracked. Type of flexibility that Mowbray likes.
  8. IMO, will be gone by the time the window closes.
  9. So true. I remember the likes of Geoff Hutt, Andy Burgin, Chris Sulley etc - left backs bought with washers and ten times better than Bell. Just where the feck do our scouts look!?!?
  10. Has there been an official update? Heard last night he's out until the new year - huge blow if correct.
  11. Nail on head. As I posted a few minutes ago, if you never give the lads a chance...................................
  12. Clearly, Dolan is a very exciting talent. To me, there are two points: You have to give these you lads a chance - they are not kids at 20, 21, 22, 23 upwards as Mowbray has historically and persistently stated and managed upon. PNE didn't give the lad a chance and the rest will be history. As I've said on this MB on countless occasions, those with real potential and talent batter down that first team door irrespective of how young they are. We have a legion of 'youngsters' in the 20 to 23 year old range who many on here refer to as 'good prospects' - IMO, a good many of them wont be good enough for the Championship and they should be moved on. Football is a simple game and very often the facts are black or white.
  13. When Waggott does something to demonstrate we really are 'in it together' then I might reciprocate. IMO, diabolical stuff on ST's which will just alienate the fan base more.
  14. Not quite as I made it clear that I wouldn't buy a season ticket (with Mowbray and Waggott at the helm) even if I'd win the £62million Euro jackpot.! However, I won £150 across two bets (Rovers to win and more than 1.5 goals in the match) so I put my money where my mouth is/was. As a bonus, I also took £20 off a Burnley fan in the pub when our fifth went in. So, all in all, a nice little earner today which will allow me to add some very decent reds to my wine stock.
  15. Didn't look at that - can't review historic market. You'd be looking at more than 4.5 goals in the game and given the relativities of the two teams, I think you'd be looking at about 5/1 (6.0 decimal odds) which would have given you winnings of £50 for a tenner.
  16. Sorry but not my scene! Delighted with the result but there are bigger tests to come - sounds like Wycombe were as woeful as I thought they'd be but, having said that, you can only beat what's in front of you. Extremely profitable day and even took £20 off a Burnley fan in the pub when our fifth went in!!! Confidence and momentum are everything - let's hope positivity is now flowing throw our players' veins and we give it a feckin good go.
  17. Ryan Nyambe - IMO, you need to get away from this mad house. I do not think Mowbray has done much at all for your career development. IMO, the manager has hung you out to dry on a number of occasions and has handled you appallingly. You have great talent and potential - don't waste it!!!
  18. Odds vary match by match. For today (odds pretty low) you would presently (they fluctuate up and down) get: More than 1.5 goals in game (ie 2 or more goals) - 1.31- £0.31 winnings for each £ bet More than 2.5 goals in game (ie 3 or more goals) - 1.93 - £0.93 winnings for each £ bet More than 3.5 goals in game (ie 4 or more goals) - 3.3 - £2.30 winnings for each £ bet I've gone big on more than 1.5 goals in today's game. Broadly, if you'd have bet £20 / game on more than 1.5 goals / game last season (given 80%+ certainty ie result delivered), you would have been almost £200 in pocket after 46 league games
  19. A bet that delivers with something like an 80% certainty on Rovers' games - more than 1.5 goals! Fill your boots - today will be a winner. Odds not great at 1.31 but a 31% return on £100 is way, way in excess of what you get in a savings' account!
  20. Getting into the play offs is pointless unless you WIN THEM!
  21. Thoughts are with you Chris. If you show half as much enthusiasm in your working environment as you do for Rovers on this MB then I am sure you wont be too long without a job. Good luck.
  22. I will not be buying a season ticket whilst Mowbray and Waggott are in situ even if I win £62million on Friday's Euro jackpot nevermind my Rovers' bet winning! We shouldn't even be debating the result - Wycombe should be comfortably swept aside. I've put my money where my mouth is and placed a large bet which I fully expect to enable me to add a case of some very, very nice reds to my wine cellar!
  23. A home banker, a licence to print money, an opportunity to get a free season ticket if you are bold and brave! £660 on Rovers to win at 3/5 or 1.6 (whichever odds selection you prefer) will get you your free season ticket. It's going to be a long and difficult season for Wycombe as their opening 1-0 defeat at the hands of mighty Rotherham showed. Opportunities like this don't come along very often and we've had two good performances so far at relegated Bournemouth and PL Newcastle so this should be a stroll in the park.
  24. Mowbray in LT on Newcastle: “We’ll go to Newcastle and do what we did against Bournemouth, ask questions of them, play on the front foot and see whether they can live with the intensity we’re trying to find.” I really do think our manager is delusional and has lost the plot.
