Still no word what kind of budget they are working to? Was Eustace asked?

Eustace was asked. Said Recruitment team know what the budget. Hopefully we can get some players in soon

Nobody should be leaving until we have some players in the squad is already a shambles. The cost cutting continues 

Don't agree there. Telalovic isn't part of Eustace and given he has a move on permanently basis.

ChadGPT does not agree.

Yes, I know, what's your point 

Misread your message, thought you said “”jam on first, that’s the Devon way”

Meaning they put jam on first. Easy mistake from me.

no desire to communicate with the fans to actually tell us there is a budget of some sort

Signing for a second division German club on a permanent contract.

 

I hope this is Eustace being decisive (he was incredibly reluctant to play Telalovic last season) rather than simply more cost cutting.

It does feel like theyre trying to clear the decks! And with the off field appointments and reshuffle logic would say they are planning on splurging on player incomings. 

But that said.... Logic & Rovers haven't been bedfellows for around 14 years.

It is all hot air and piss, until players actually come in. Until then, there can be no planning for the new campaign except on the basis that we wee with the willy we have already got. Names from the turgid lips of the gossip mongers and faux ITK are hot air, and the only thing that is worth paying any attention to is the sound of the pen scrawling a signature on a playing contract and the slight whoosh as an incoming recruit raises their new shirt for the obligatory 'there was only one club in my mind' photoshoot. Even the sound of the door banging on the arse of departing players isn't worth a backwards glance, as it is simply a signal that our strength in depth is being undermined and diminishing at our peril.

I think that's fair enough.

Sticker books, pieces of paper, what will the social media team be working on for this summer? Players being fished out of the reject bin a la Raggy Dolls?

[Upside Down]

We can't sign anyone until the recruitment team finishes getting the splinters removed from the ends of their fingers due to them spending 18 hours a day scraping the bottom of the barrel.

In retrospect seeing Hendry/Dunn/MGP opening a scrap of paper to nod in faux approval at Telalovic being signed is looking more and more silly.

Yeah, Krul isn't happening.

Will drag on for a while before we "move onto other targets".

The Everton lad on trial will be our back up keeper next season.

The Everton lad wasn't even on the pitch ahead of Joe Hilton

Joe Hilton will be our back up this season

If we do sign anyone, I hope they play hook a duck to do the reveal.  The club is run like a circus carnival as it is, so may as well embrace it

At this stage, I would settle for silly reveals of a few contract renewals, let alone new signings

So I take from that Krul is free to talk to other clubs? 

I would welcome Krul has a signing

We want a new keeper signing so Hilton will be our 3rd choice at best

I think Hilton moves on.

Needs to be playing some kind of football at his age.

If anyone else wants him we can rule ourselves out.

There is plenty of good keepers out there we can sign

Mullarky-Matthews & Hot shot Trialist Jack Hastings were on target as Rovers under 21s lost 3-2 in the last minute … Hastings has scored over 36 goals this season & played for an hour … 

[Forever Blue]

36 goals in an hour is an impressive strike rate

Hastings is the guy on trial from Larne isn't he?

Any idea what side the U21s put out?  I've not seen any mention of it apart from the goal scorers
