Haha. They can talk about them names all they want, and I'm not doubting you that they might be, but I can confidently say that not one of those will sign for us.

It's not really them I am writing off.

It goes a lot deeper than a new head of recruitment coming in. If we end up spending over £5m and end up with a better championship squad on August 31st than we had on May 4th, then please come back and I will admit defeat. I don't think you will though somehow.

I'm just amazed that after 14 years of absolute nonsense that there are still folk out there and on here that think a little shake up of the recruitment team will bring some fresh new dawn to the club and positive change. It won't.

With the exception of the league one game, we haven't won on boxing day since 2006.

Doesn't really confirm. He is "expected" to have money he says, I think that's purely guess work from Elliot.

Brentford owe us nothing by the way and can sell/loan a player exactly as they please, the sell on clause is purely a bonus for Rovers if it's ever exercised. Because the owners have run us so far into the ground we have become absolutely dependant on it, which is more rank bad management.

Standards have never been lower, and that's another point that proves it. Someone better send that photo to Steve as he couldn't possibly know himself that its in that state.

As always, we'll see by the final sales to see how cheap people think they are. Be amazed if its more than 6/7k by the end of this early bird window, then after that very few folk are buying them if they insist on that ridiculous tier pricing system.

I think Dolan stays this season then goes to someone for compensation next summer.

Maybe these pair together cost less than Gregg? I'd bet good money on Eustace being on less than JDT so it's money saved all round and another feather in Steve's cap.

Can have the best ideas in the world, won't matter a jot here.

Biggest away win will be one of them, youngest player another

He's slowly whittling it down though, he thought we would spend £7m last month. Penny will drop at some point you would think.

Can't believe anyone thinks that Phillips to Spurs was a bad career move. 8 times his salary, and will get loaned out to play in this league anyway. Absolute no brainer. Same with Finneron, will earn a lot more money by jumping to Newcastle now and likely to be playing in this league in a few years on loan anyway. Infact, I would wager that by the time Finneron is 18 he will be playing regularly for a team at a higher level than we're at.

So just to clarify, are you going to every home game next season Chaddy?

Club reporting over 2000 sales over the bank holiday weekend since going on sale.

Depends who it is.

Makes no difference either way here.

There's a weird portion of our fanbase, especially over on twitter that treat a huge incoming fee as a win for some reason. I cringe when I see "fantastic deal" for us because it never is as nothing is reinvested.

That was the Gregg/JDT model. I believe now that we're back to the Waggott/Mowbray/Venus model of letting folk walk out for nothing. Time will tell I suppose.

Yeah I think so. Come in for nothing, leave for nothing and will be forgotten about by this time next year.

I'd hope if we get a midfielder in that Garrett would be going out on loan. A year in league one playing every week would do him the world of good in my opinion.

Mark Venus makes perfect sense under this lot. Been here before "Knows" the club Redundant in the managerial/coaching world while Mowbray is recovering Big mate of Waggots Cheap. Yep, it's definitely him.

They released them at the end of March last season when we could have ended up in either one of two divisions. Loads of clubs get them on sale without knowing what league they will be the following year I think that's just a cop out excuse.
