Danishfan Posted May 20, 2024 Posted May 20, 2024 When JDT bought him self out of contract in february, there were rumours that he had been told about a firesale this summer., which added to his desire to leave the club.. I expect that a lot of our first team players will leave and be substituted by loanees and freebies. 1 Quote

He is unsure who the guy is was the last part I seen he said on X You’ve just answered your own question 😉 The problem is, even if we do bring in a replacement, and even if he has pedigree, what chance has he got within this shoddy set up of charlatans? It’ll be another five minute wonder. 1 Quote

To name a few... Josh Bowler Sorba Thomas Max Lowe Wes Foderingham Herbie Kane Aaron Connolly Tyrese Campbell Paddy McNair Chris Willock Sam McCallum Jake Cooper Josh Onomah Sorba Thomas is under contract until 2026? Jake Cooper signed a new 'long term contract' in August. I think the reason sites like transfermrkt have it as ending this summer like it was previously due to is because Millwall never announced the length of the new deal. Josh Onomah hasn't had a club for a year, bit of a risk. 3 Quote
Neal Posted May 20, 2024 Posted May 20, 2024 (edited) Norwood released from Sheff United... Definitely wouldn't be surprised to see us go after him. Josh Knight of Peterborough been offered a contract at Werder Bremen... Bet we inquired on that aswell. Edited May 20, 2024 by Neal 1 Quote

Coming from a guy he blocked years ago, so I’m certainly NOT a Nickoteen (whatever those are) - but Nixon has probably been right on us more than anyone else in the last 12-18 months. He probably has. Hes the only mainstream reporter who bothers with us and he ensures that he covers all bases, for example he was right on Wharton to Palace because he linked half the Premier League with him. 2 Quote

BankEnd Rover Posted May 20, 2024 Posted May 20, 2024 Joe sbarra who we were supposedly linked with has signed for Doncaster. Quote

B16Rover Posted May 20, 2024 Posted May 20, 2024 Cadden, Cole and Kane from Barnsley all released. By no means starting eleven players but a more attacking fullback to Pickering, a more industrious midfielder to what we have and a striker with different qualities to Gally? This is really bleak isn't it. Quote

This is really bleak isn't it. don`t know much about cadden but cole is past his best and herbie kane is a bottom division player,all the indications of another dreadful summer were highlighted when gallagher got another year,it`s crystal that there won`t be anyone coming in of any discernable quality,i hope sammie gets a move,he deserves better than hanging around here with a bunch of unambitious plodders Quote
London blue Posted May 20, 2024 Posted May 20, 2024 Seems the majority have realised we won't be spending any real money this summer. Someone up the page also mentioned a fire sale of current players which wouldn't surprise me in the least. With the known financial challenges and JE's comments I fully expect close to £0 spent on fees this summer. Gally will be our first striker come the start of the season. 1 Quote

They recommended a DOF approach and a recruitment consultancy was appointed to find a DOF. Sunish and Waggot were not involved on either decision and hence Waggot always resented Broughton being appointed and did everything possible to undermine him. Just pathetic isn't. Makes me sick to even think how many millions that all wasted "project" costed. I'm guessing the consultancy company alone cost at least hundreds of thousands just for their advice Here's hoping that hiring the agency and attempting the dof route was the venkys last role of the dice to make something of the mess they have created and now they're looking to just cash in on every player asset we have before finally pishing off.

Mercer Posted May 20, 2024 Posted May 20, 2024 5 hours ago, chaddyrovers said: What makes you say this? Do you not think the whole point of getting rid GB was to better DoF and with experience of doing the role beforehand Nixon was spot on Silvester going, Baker coming in, GB leaving. He has said GB will be replace so let's wait and what happens shortly. Is he better than we got? I was no Broughton fan but, IMO, one of the reasons he's gone and paid 'hush money' is he knew too much about the shenanigans at Rovers not least the debacles of the last two January windows where we 'lost' 3 players, allegedly 'admin errors'! My only expectation is another Waggott 'yes man' will be appointed in order to keep good company with our 'yes man' Head Coach. 1 Quote

What's he achieved in his career? 7 hours ago, neophox said: Think there could be some clearout in the summer with coaches... Hopefully, Benson and Lowe will be first through the exit door. We need a goalie coach who has played the game and earned his stripes - in years gone by we've seen the likes of Gennoe, Mimms, Flowers and Kelly in goalie coach roles at different clubs, all very decent keepers who no doubt know the art of keeping inside out. Think we need someone with a similar profile to those four. As for Lowe, how can there be a role for him when we have Eustace, Gardiner, Downing and Johnson. A mystery to me how Lowe has kept a job at Rovers for so long - I think he must know too much about skeletons and cupboards! Quote
roversfan99 Posted May 20, 2024 Posted May 20, 2024 I dont think a coach needs to have played at elite level to be suitable. If anything, former quality players are likely to get roles because of their name from their playing career. 1 Quote
