Bournemouth are not officially allowed to enter any negotiations with Rothwell. Yeah it goes on and his agent will be talking but if Rovers found out Like you say then charges would be brought against Bournemouth. There is absolutely no logic in Rothwell "agreeing" to join Bournemouth or any other championship club next seaso. this month

The "we understand Rovers are open to selling line" could easily come from the comments Waggott made earlier in the season when it looked like another year of mediocrity was in store

Nixon saying Bournemouth in for Lawrence

It also says in that article £2 million is no way near our valuation

How can Rovers know what offer Bournemouth have made to Rothwell? If they knew that surely the first thing they should be doing is putting a complaint in to the EFL for illegally approaching our players? He can't sign a pre contract with Bournemouth.Are Bournemouth going to give him a guarantee that no matter what(even if he has a long term injury) they will sign him in the summer?Is Rothwell going to give Bournemouth a guarantee that no matter what he will sign for them in the summer(even if a higher placed team comes in with a larger offer) Nothing can be signed that is legally binding at this point.

Be illogical for Rothwell to want to agree a move to Bournemouth at this point tho? He is playing for the team in second, in less than 5 month he can choose who he wants to sign for? There has been absolutely no suggestion he has asked to leave this season, his demeanor and performances don't suggest an unhappy player. We won't be accepting bids for the figures being talked about.We will let his contract run and see what happens in the summer

He can't put pen to paper though. We won't be selling for the figures talked about to a direct rival.

He can't sign a pre contract with any English club

He isn't going anywhere.Quite clear from Mowbrays interview that he was actually out with a back problem. £2 million quid is nothing to the owners.Been absolutely no suggestion Rothwell has asked to leave this season?Why would he? He is playing for the team in 2nd and in less than 6 months is free to negotiate a contract with whoever he wants

What is £2 million pound to the owners? Seriously? We are sat 2nd In the table just after beating a promotion rival.If you want to spend the next week worrying we will cash In on players the ok.But it won't be happening

I'm basing my thought process off the fact we have sold only 2 players of any value in 5 years.And that I know for a fact bids have been turned down plenty of times for our players. There is absolutely nothing to suggest that we would accept a bid for Rothwell now unless it was silly money

We have sold 2 first team players in the last 5 seasons. We won't be selling Rothwell to Bournemouth when we are sat 2nd in the table

If we were sat 12th then it would have been sensible to sell if no contract was being signed.

Edun looked better as a midfielder if we can't find s midfielder he should be the stand in for Travis and either sign loan or sign a left back

Huge win .Buzzing

Still takes a creative player out of our team that wasn't expected. 47er will be about in a bit to tell you you are looking for an argument.

Yeah like Nyambe was...maybe he just actually has an injury?

Rothwell injured

I'm not looking for an argument and don't want to be accused of trolling again but you never responded to my earlier response. How do you explain the 14 million spent on 3 attackers within 12 months after promotion from League one? Or that they turned down a massive offer for Dack that January? The multiple players through the door in the last 5 years? The fact we have only sold two players of value within that time? I certainly don't think that they would start splashing out mega money if ffp wasn't here but I certainly don't agree that all they have done is service debt when it's clear money has been spent to try improve the team

Be a tight game.If Travis and Nyambe are back in the side then think they will struggle to score against us. 2-0 Gallagher to get on the scoresheet

No I still think a few million should be found in this window.We should be using our position in the table to our advantage. We don't agree on this but I assume Venkys would spend some money due to the fact we committed 14 million to 3 forward players in the space of a year whilst recieving 3 million back for Raya.Plus multiple other players came through the door at that point. We haven't spent much in terms of transfer fees since but 12 players came in last summer , that still cost the club.

We still brought 12 players to the club last season they didn't cost nothing.We have sold Raya and Armstrong.Covers the 3 foward signings but we have also brought in loads of other players in the past 5 years. We made roughly 10 million on Armstrong after Newcastle took their cut and what we spent bringing him here and 5 on Raya.15 million I'm in agreement that some money should be found but not many clubs are spending. The 16.6 for the training ground all that 16.6 doesn't count as profit only a portion of that is counted . We have to take the pandemic into account aswell.Only Boro and Forest have been making moves in this window. Gibson is a better owner than ours I ain't disputing that.They lost a couple of high earners off their wagebill in summer, they get higher crowds than us and have recieved more by selling players than we have in the last 5 years.

Paying a wage bill 180% to turnover and spending 14 million on 3 players without selling anyone to fund it has contributed to that too. With our current external income then our wage bill and transfer spend should be like the Luton's and Preston's of the division. Agree wholeheartedly that more should be done to bring income into the club and do think some money should be made available but can understand why we might not be able to do that and I don't see many teams throwing loads of money at the January window.Bournemouth have really been struggling of late they have done nothing apart from the young lad from Fleetwood. Even without Venkys mismanagement with the best will in the world I don't think we would be getting 20k a week through the door after ten years in the championship.

It's true that the mess is of their own making and of course I agree it is understandable why people don't go anymore with how the club is run. But the post he replied to was implying that we have brought/by time sell Brererton we will have brought £50 million into the club which isn't true. The 16.6 million paid for the training ground isn't 16.6 million profit that can be used. In 5 years we have only sold 2 first team players up until Armstrong's sale £3-£5 million recieved for Raya. We spent 14 million alone on bringing in the 3 forwards ourselves. Other clubs including Boro have sold players too and last season and season before Boros spend was minimal.

Plus we made about 10 million profit on Armstrong.Only other player of value we have sold in the last 5 years is Raya for an initial 3 million.And have recieved nominal fees for a few others. We spent 14 million alone on Gallagher, Armstrong and Brererton. Boro have sold more than 2 first teamers in the last 5 years.
