Can I why you hold that view? 

Just for the record, I've only seen his goals on YouTube and I know nothing else about him.

Thinking about the Theo Bair rumour... I'd probably prefer him than McGuire tbh

Why would you sign him? What qualities does he have?

And then he has to make the step up to the Championship, where he'll become another Gallagher at best. Avoid. 

He's on pens as well so 15 goals in 38 games isn't that prolific.

I don’t care how awful he is , he has to be signed so we can chant “Theo, Theo the Bair” to the theme tune of the 1970s kids tv show, “Rupert the Bear”.

I actually dread to think where will be in 2 years time to be honest.

I think the club is in serious trouble right now and will be very surprised if something major doesn't happen between now and Christmas, that put's the very future of BRFC in jeopardy. 

Unfortunately that's the only thing I can see that will bring any kind of positive change.

The only way I can see out of this is through administration.

This recurring argument that putting the club in fucking administration is the solution continues to be the most ridiculous nonsense.

Have to agree, has anybody given any consideration to the dozens of people who would lose their jobs if that was the case through no fault of their own.

Sell up if need be but administration isn't the answer

Despite it being a solution to similar troubles at many other clubs negatively impacted by awful ownership?

I hope we don’t sign him just to avoid the cringe factor of this

It sorts out some problems but only at the cost of creating a suite of new ones. 
 

The *best* outcome is a peaceful transfer of ownership with a new owner who shares the fans passions, has deep pockets & a high level of competence/integrity. 
 

…so that’s pretty straightforward 👀 😉

That's highly unlikely to ever happen though unfortunately hence administration is the only way I can see out of it.

As for the people who may lose their jobs, what about the numerous people that have already lost their jobs? What about the hugely detrimental effect venkys have had on the town as a whole?

We were averaging 25,000 people going to Ewood before this cancer metastasized all throughout this club. We're now down to an average of 14,000. What about the businesses that were reliant on having the foot traffic of those extra 11,000 people?

Would be a good signing!

For us? Sure.

For an ambitious Club? Nah.

😂 Man City used to sing it about Philippe Albert.

Still more imaginative than , “Barmy army, barmy army, barmy army”.

Looks like he plays a CAM, CM & CDM. Hull fans gutted he’s gone…On a free I’m sure he’ll do a job.

I'd hope if we get a midfielder in that Garrett would be going out on loan.

A year in league one playing every week would do him the world of good in my opinion.

That will happen anyway if the club goes bust why do people never consider this ?

Admin is usually the way to actually rescue a club and keep it going rather than just liquidation.

[roversfan99]

Im not convinced we are anywhere near signing anyone considering our DOF has just left and with the uncertainty and silence from the owners.

Docherty has never stood out whenever I have seen him for Hull and fell down the pecking order there last season hence why they havent renewed his contract. He has sometimes been shunted wider during his time.

Central midfielder is bottom of the priority list and he potentially could be a reasonable cheap pickup as a squad player if its not at the expense of Tronstad/Travis/JRC and/or if it allows JRC to go back to RB. But as I say, its probably just a busy agent generating interest.
