Include Markanday too. Personally I'd rather try and get a tune out of what we have up front and use our funds build a rock solid defense.

Doesn't matter. We can sell sponsorless shirts without a sponsor being in place. They'd sell like hotcakes. What we'd need is ANY sponsor that is willing to go with that (even at a reduced price). The unique situation would plaster the sponsor's name all over the sports news for a while, and they'd still be on TV every time Rovers are. The money recouped in extra revenue from virtually every fan buying one (the market research is there, fans prefer a sponsorless look) would be worth a reasonable shortfall.

That's where the club could do with using it's wits. Sponsors are more for the playing team (on TV) than for replicas. Get a sponsor in on 100k (or whatever) and offer fans £40 shirts, with a £50 price to go sponsorless.

Imagine the buzz it'd create. Announce ahead of time for next season.

Sorry but from a marketing perspective, Greg has failed every step of the way. Really basic things too imo. I'm sorry he's gone for sentimental reasons, but not for business reasons. Club marketing has needed an overhaul for a LONG time. I'm including Waggott in the scope too.

I don't think it's something to overcome. It's an asset, just like it was for Dickov (whom I envision Dolan emulating). Fast, less of him for the 6ft+ defenders to grab, and easy to draw fouls when they do eventually send him flying. If we can add a nasty streak to his chasing, he's Dickov. If we can add goals, he's Jermaine Defoe.

Dolan strikes me as an ideal JDT talent. No chance we sell imo.

Have to echo Glen, I wouldn't have given even a smidge of the grief I have if you'd been this open before (albeit I realise it may be because of circumstances)

Frederik Tingager, perhaps?

Cantwell was one of Broughton's recruits to Norwich. We could well be in there.

You misunderstood. 'It' being the conversation.

It didn't happen though, did it?

He's backed up his rebuttal of your assertions with evidence. Your assertions have no supporting evidence. I wonder who to believe?

Not all of us. I quite liked being within 3pts of the European places.

I have a hunch we may sign Winston Reid. Experienced CB, decent age to give a short contract, and his international caps pre-NZ were for the Danish youth teams. Possibly scrap that, didn't realise he turns 34 in July.

He did, but his number 2 was at Sheff Weds for 2 years.

From his own POV though, he's gone to work for a manager who's wanted him for at least 3 years. A safer bet (thinking of one's own wages) than waiting around to see if the new guy likes him.

Like his number 2 is, you mean?

Reads like Clough, Taylor, and Gordon!

First signing: Malmö's star left back 😉 😉 😉

Gregg implied JDT has turned down CL football at other league-winning clubs to come here because he prefers the challenge.

Ooooft, bit painful!

Perhaps he recommended JDT rather than Drunken Duncan.

Hang on. Have all the released wrestlers in the last two years 'due to budget cuts' actually been due to paying this woman? $3m would cover roughly 30-50 wrestlers' annual salaries (lower card, or not used).

Personally would still rather Lenihan sign back here if possible, if only to reduce the initial issue of no defenders.
