Eustace has up to this point done a good job of covering up the shambles behind the scenes when put in front of the media. 

You can see cracks starting to form during and after this transfer window though. He is clearly pissed off like we are and must be tempted by the next job offer to come his way.

None of the players mentioned will get new deals. One glance at the lack of new deals for established players over the last 5 years tells us all we need to know. If you are a proven experien

Should we start to get worried about the complete lack of new contracts since Broughton left? Whether you rated him or not, he seemed to do a very good job of securing our talented players to long ter

The fact we signed a player who is only 28 on a free transfer (not loan) for only 6 months tells us where we are financially with our future planning. They can't, or won't, commit to increasing the sa

JDT was in a totally different place to where Eustace is. JDT has already got as much money as he could ever need, is still a legend in the game due to his massive successes as a player and with him being so multi lingual he's always going to have more avenues of opportunity. Because of this, when he'd had enough of dealing with these complete and utter fuckwits he didn't give a fuck and spent half a season taking the piss out of them before just bluntly calling them out.

JE is nowhere near as well known, won't have the same finances and hasn't the language skills so he's having to bite his tongue a lot more. As you say, you can see the cracks appearing. I wouldn't be surprised at all for him to jump at the first opportunity to get out of here. Maybe he should take some Spanish or German classes to open up his options.

I know you didn't mention JDT, I was just observing that both have been lied to repeatedly within the space of a year.

You would think his agent will be putting his hat in the ring at Derby.

Have no money at all. Out of the frying pan and all that.

Working at a skint club is one thing, but working at a skint club owned by Venkys and run by Waggott is another.

I'd imagine that Derby is a vast improvement on Rovers in terms of getting business done, planning, organisation, ambition even if they're hard up. Their owner is a local supporter who goes to games and wants them to get better, they get 20,000+ a week turning up and are much closer to home for Eustace and his team.

We saw last year with JDT that a spell unemployed was preferable for him than continuing to work for these shysters. Now obviously JDT could afford to be unemployed and walk away from the job whereas Eustace probably can't but it tells me just how unpleasant it must be having to work for the scum who own and run Rovers these days.

RE the bold bit

I am sure he would have left even if he didn't already have a job lined up, but he had already been approached by Sweden.  He was technically "out of work" for a couple of weeks

If your Waggot, and you know you are retiring this summer or possibly next, why do you care who is contracted for 26/27 ?

Especially as increasing wages on new contracts now might affect this years financial performance and therefore make you look 'not as good' in the eyes of the owners. 

Where's the motivation to give a shit?

Why would he care if he looks good in the eyes of the owners if he was retiring soon anyway?

Cos he gets a bonus on reducing losses / savings?
