Hope it's true. I'd feel a lot more confident if it wasn't just one random bloke on Twitter saying it

Just seen someone on twitter saying a deal with Kipre from Wigan is completed.

Not sure how believable that is. If so that's a class signing.

I think Nixon is probably more reliable than twitter, so I'd take it with a pinch of salt.

That's a lot of bollox

He'll be off to the Premiership - West Ham probably

Quality goal from Schmidt here. Dack-esque. And for an added bonus the german striker Hofman we've been linked with scores the goal after it. 

 

Hoffman goal certainly makes me feel better after seeing his Kanu-esque miss!

Shame.  He would have been an ideal signing. Good age and proven in champ. If £1.5mil is the price - it's a great deal for someone

And still no word from either Waggott or Mowbray on finances (if any) available..

Which other clubs fans demand the manager and CEO confirm their budget!? The manager stated over a month ago that he still did not have his budget. For around a week we have known that we we are making offers to and for players. Yesterday we agreed a supposed six figure fee for a player and Sharpe is saying that we have ongoing deals being negotiated for European and home based targets. 

They have a budget. They don’t need to tell us what it is. The end.

Jesus that's some pedestal he puts himself on. A useless hack with an ego accentuated by groupies.

Which other club make a big thing about their owner having to go to India every summer to meet the owner? Which other clubs manager was saying after the season had ended that he hadn't had full clarity on his budget?

The fact is we still haven't signed anyone and the one player we offered a new contract to still hasn't signed.

1.3 budget left from January, plus wages off the wage bill from Downing, Graham, Samuel, Smallwood, Leutwiler, Hart plus loans from Walton and Adarabioyo. Which I reckon is around 3 million(60k a week)off the budget IMO So there is 4 to 5 million budget. 

 

and strip out all the lost income from March onwards and going forwards and there's your 'budget' gone!

If only life was that simple Chaddy!

Yes, and I guess because the club engages in such moronic behaviour then we have to do the same? ?

Also very confused why @Sparks Rover is liking your post after he basically announced a £5m budget a few weeks ago following a conversation with his mates mam. ?

Lets get some perspective please. They aren’t going to come out and announce the budget. It doesn’t happen. Even in our basket case of a club.

You didn't answer my questions. 

Which other clubs other than ours make a big thing about their owner having to go to India every summer to meet the owner to discuss the budget? Which other clubs manager other than ours was saying after the season had ended that he hadn't had full clarity on his budget?

It is Mowbray and Waggott who every summer are in the media talking about the budget regularly. They have even come out after this January's window and a previous summer window to say that we had money left over. Which other clubs does this happen at?

No one, no one else on the planet does what Rovers do. It’s unfathomable and makes them look idiotic. Does this answer your question?

Ok, now please answer mine. Why does them acting so mad mean that we act mad too? Let’s be honest, in the cold light of day still demanding that the CEO and / Manager release the budget in the current circumstances is just odd. We have all the information we need or are going to get on the subject.

When or when will we sign someone if ever lol

I haven't demanded that. Personally I wouldn't say anything but that fact is other the years both Mowbray and Waggott have both talked very openly about the budget even going so far as to saying how much money was left over. The fact that they haven't this season since Mowbray said he hadn't had clarity and the fact that no one has signed so far makes me very nervous about the budget or rather lack of as the case may be.

Tbf, 'Left over' after the fact is very different from announcing it before any is spent.

I don't think a budget has ever been 'announced' by any manager apart from that year we sold Bellamy, and even that was downplayed as 'a good budget' rather than a figure.

Unless we count Nixon's £50m Warchest ofc.
