I can see your point but there was a completely different context. 99% of the teams we faced played to stop us. This season there will be more space in the final third because teams will come at us instead of sitting in.

Ridiculous statement.

The messages are actually very similar to those posted by Gillingham fans on Dack last year...talented but injury prone etc. In fact many of the Gills fans were more scathing about Dacks attitude and fitness...none of us knew what to expect then either... so let’s see!

It’s funny how people see things so differently. Imo we dominated most teams last season. The possession stats, goals scored, goals conceded etc all confirm this home and away. My worry is that having dominated so many matches and been used to being on top, can we be solid and play on the break? Great points about the difficulty in finding good forwards. They will be the difference undoubtedly. Enjoyed reading your post pal. Thanks ??

Oh my.....at what point did 17th June become late in the transfer Market? Any transfers done before July are early, surely?

A shocker? He’s been on holiday and the transfer market hasn’t even go going.

Not sure. Looks like he’s just throwing names about. No secret that he wants Chapman and Armstrong back... What it does do is credit why he offered Graham and Conway new contracts in terms of their influence in the dressing room. Bearing in mind no one knows how much we’ve offered either player in wages it’d be great if we could draw a line under it all.

I read into this that it’s quality over quantity. He’s looking at players who are as good, if not better quality than Dack...I’m VERY interested to see things start moving now.

Interesting post from Dack....

???????

I’d take that Morsy in a heartbeat!!

You should’ve took that bet mate. Little to no chance of Dack leaving this summer. Was like printing money that...

That is brilliant work!!

A RB, CM, Armstrong, Chapman and Payne for me. CM being the key.

Damn it....you got me!! ??

Based on your argument my opinion is really valid as I spend thousands every year with the club. For what it’s worth. I wouldn’t give Conway a new deal either based on what Iv seen. But the man who matters believes it right so that’s ok with me. The end.

You tell me mate. But after the last 12 months we’ve had, with a manager who has proven 100 times over his worth, a team who have given everything to the cause and owners who have backed the manager and backed the manager and not sold any of our best players...what on EARTH do any real Rovers fans have to be negative about? If Carlsberg did amazing turnarounds, being a Rovers fan in the last 12 months would be it!! So yeah, I question the motives of those people. Now back to transfers ??

Completely agree. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion. But leave it there. We’ve got guys on here going on and on about Conway. “He’s not worth it!” “I can’t see a single reason to keep him” “it’s a waste of money” etc...but these people don’t know what he’s been offered...they’ve never worked with him...they don’t pay the bills...I just find really odd that ‘supporters’ feel so empowered to judge without any information. After the season we’ve just had I can’t believe some of the negativity still being peddled on here. It’s draining and I can’t help but wonder if those people actually have the club at heart Stuart.

That’s great. So let’s support the team then. Support the manager. Trust the manager who sees every single day what the likes of Conway etc bring to the party! The fact that we love the club doesn’t give us a reason to strenuously pass judgment on situations we know literally nothing about. Anyone on here know what terms we’ve offered? Anyone work with the group daily? Anyone here responsible for paying the bills at Rovers? No. Like I say, it’s weird. Just let the manager do his job.

Dya know what I find crazy? I find it crazy how you can have a strong opinion on something like this when a) you have know idea what it’s actually costing. b) you have no idea what the guy actually brings to the team / group and finally c) why you’d even be bothered when it’s not your money. It’s just weird.

http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/16248729.Steve_Waggott_provides_updates_on_Rovers_contract_talks/ Im REALLY interested to see how some will put a negative slant on this...?

I know mate, but on this MB that type of comment is usually a green light to all of the haters. I only replied to try and quell any uprising!! Hahahah

Tbf he explains why he favours organic growth. The group trusts him and works for him. He knows the sum of the parts has to outweigh the individuals in order for Rovers to succeed. He said he didn’t want to be disloyal to them and in the circumstances, I agree... i absolutely trust TM. Anyone who actually knows anything about The Venkys knows they are not frightened to pay the bill. In the past, this nature has been abused and they have been naive. Now they have a manager who genuinely has the clubs best interest at heart. No attempts to feather his own nest and no political persuasion. They’re right to trust TM imo.

Sounds to me like they’ve offered him exactly what he wanted. That they may even have intimated the possibility of heavier investment which he declined in favour of more organic growth. Mercer and Jal have to be on the wind up. After the season we’ve just had and the positive vibe around the club I genuinely don’t know where they find this constant pessimism. There’s nothing reasonable or logical about the negativity imo. Now i I can relax....
