Yes I do and I think that should be aim but he has 3 years contract so lets give him that opportunity. 

Yes you are talking down based on nothing since you don't go and watch any games like others do. 

Travis got his chances down to injuries if I remember correctly in the championship tho he broke through in the second half of the league 1 season but after his sent off against Portsmouth away on the 13th February, Mowbray didn't pick him again that season

You just don't get tbh and you are just over complicating it to be honest. 

Anyway, I am given up trying to explained it to you and others with similar opinion. I stand by my opinion that all 4 are ready to be part of the Rovers squad for the coming season.  

My point was that both youngsters broke individually into the team during the season within a squad that would have had enough cover had they not been up to the mark, rather than at the start of a season amidst a pack of players making up the numbers after a large outflow of players. A youngster breaking into the team should come down to the individual breaking in, not as an expectation out of necessity due to outgoing players.

On what evidence are you so confident that James Brown is the answer at RB?

He's 24 and has played 1 Championship game.

I have said he is a squad player for the coming season with an experience right back like Callum Brittain or Nathan Byrne being first choice.

I hope he is good. But to go into a 46 game Championship season expecting to rely on him? Nothing short of lunacy motivated purely by the low cost.

As we've seen before, focus on doing the cheap way (Warnock-Coyle) it ends in disaster 

Cost has nothing to do with my opinion but wanting to keep bringing through our good young quality players into the first team.

You might think it is true support of the Club but I'd like to avoid a return to League One and won't sit in silence or blind support as we charter a course back there. I demand better.

So what have you done about it apart from ranting on here or on other social media platform but what have you done to tell the club you support? have you email the clubs with your concerns or feelings? 

True support of the club? How do I sit in silence or blind support when I have a problem, concern or want an answer to question I actually contact the club about it and receive a response?

Can we set an official “Panic date”?

This date can be used to activate complete panic should we not have signing by said date!! 😆 I don’t think it should be too far off in all honesty!

GB needs to start earning his pennies!

Summer transfer thread 2022, who will we be lumbered with next?

Panic time is when we reach the same amount of pages as the manager thread without signing anyone.

Probably a Head of Recruitment.

Who can't attract any players either.

Only problem is he’d cost more than a packet of pork scratchings. And would want a decent Championship wage. Both of these rule us out.

We'd end up with Joe Bunney

I hope the new HoR is someone who likes a challenge.

'Welcome to Rovers, now we need 6 players in the next two weeks all better than what we already have. By the way we've no money to get them so you better start in the bargain bins and trash cans'

When you unearth one contact Gregg who'll contact the manager, who'll then decide and contact Gregg who'll contact Steve. He'll then contact the players agent then they'll both approach Suhail, if he likes the agent and deal he'll contact Steve who'll contact the agent again and Gregg, who'll contact the manager.

If Suhail doesn't know the agent he'll contact Balaji who'll then contact Babu to see if we can pay it.  He'll then contact Suhail who'll contact Steve and Gregg, who'll then inform the manager and player.

If by this time the player has been offered a quid more elsewhere and done one then don't worry just move on to the next one.

No because all is fine and any opinions to the contrary are negative and will cause the players to implode spontaneously when they come within 2 metres of the centre circle.

Go rovers!

[Nuttall is lost]

Who is doing the recruitment and scouting for Rovers these days?  I presume someone (G.B?) said Ben Davies is the man for you?

 

Maybe its our former Director of Football King Kenny haha

[bluebruce]

Bradley Johnson signed for MK Dons.

Currently training alone but being courted by 2 unnamed French clubs 

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Not even a sniff of a rumour, never mind a signing.  Something is definitely 'off' with this whole business.

I don't think there being a sniff of a rumour matters a jot. Probably just keeping leaks under wraps. Besides, it's also not true, there have been rumours. Ben Davies the main one recently.

Voulet-vous?

We pay him until August 1, correct?

No, he will be paid whatever is in his last contract. I would assume, he is in his month in hand, which will be paid at the end of July.

So that’s a yes.

No, he will be paid until the 30th June. The PFA will give him an extra month if he has no club by the end of July.

I'd suggest it's nothing more than our refusal to pay decent wages and having 17 layers of sign off. The club generally keeps a lid on signings these days.. Whether that's because of the above or intentionally remains to be seen

Ok, thanks for clarifying. No big rush then, but a bit surprising there aren’t more suitors. 

[neophox]

What happened to Conor Wickham, two years ago  released by Palace, then by Preston and now by MK Dons....prem league, championship and now league one.....scary...he's just 29....a bit like happened to David Bentley.

Such a waste....he will be warming their bench for sure.

[Miller11]

Never mind recruitment, we can’t even get retention right. Maybe we need a head of retention too.

If the rumours about Phillips not signing are correct - and let’s be honest, that contract will have been offered ages ago in the hope he signed the day he turned 17 - we might as well just accept our fate as a modern day, slightly better (for the time being) Crewe. But even they tended to get a fee.

Can’t blame Phillips. We have heard loads of people argue that we couldn’t pay Lenihan more as it would upset other members of the squad. Well what message are we sending to the young lads? The situation with Nyambe and Lenihan tells them that before long the will have to leave Rovers to be paid a going rate.

I’m sure some people will soon decide that Bosman is the route of all evil 30 years after it’s inception, and peddle the myth that it somehow penalises Rovers disproportionately more than any other team. More excuses for our incompetence.

[bluebruce]

Out of curiosity, what happened before Bosman to players whose contracts ran out? I'm too young to remember.
