  1. They are moving anyway to a house nearer Brockhall. And there is nothing to suggest it was anything other than a burglary by villains who dumped the cars because their fence couldn't handle them.
  2. Yes it was the f...ing Home Office who killed that one over number of full caps. This was before Bulgaria got full freedom of movement. This will return as a problem for signing the continental youngsters people on here are complaining we are not looking at. Who on earth would want another Nzonzi anyway?
  3. Donis was actually brilliant. We simply never used him- from management to fellow players. Sutty in particular had a blind spot when it came to overlaps on his right.
  4. They were not auditors. They were management consultants. The first lot looked at the business as is and the second lot sent their strategists in from what I was told.
  5. They probably had huge fun analysing the only multi-billion industry they are normally not welcomed into. In consulting terms there was no rocket science but Rovers have now got an enormous competitive advantage having 1) previously been so badly run so the benefit of the recommendations are easy to see thus giving credibility to their full reports and 2) being the only club which has had such a thorough and professional going over and a strategy put in place. I guess Venky's in India have also used strategic consultants in India which is why they had the good sense to bring two lots in to keep them honest. The fact this is such a one off is probably why it doesn't resonate with a football man like Stuart.
  6. Awful decision especially as Barnet should have had a penalty just before Brentford went 1-0.
  7. Barnet have come back from 0-1 to lead Brentford 2-1. Brentford have a few players who can really smack it from distance so will need closing down from 30 yards out on Saturday.
  8. Very smart man management by Mowbray. Reassures the side which slaughtered Hull, keeps Conway hopeful and throws down a challenge to Chapman. Pulis always kept Stoke players whippet fit if I remember correctly so I doubt he is doing any different at Boro. That said the medical staff might have a different view on conditioning to avoid injuries.
  9. https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/olivia-attwood-bradley-dack-holed-13917854 Bradley, Rovers very own celebrity...
  10. It was put to me this summer (so a year after their visit) they weren't "proper accountants" from the two big 4 firms. The rumoured £750k bill suggests they were management consultants rather than bean counters. Your analysis ties in with the club adopting a four window strategy for transfers once we were back in the Championship and explains why money was ear-marked specifically for a Brereton style signing in the Summer and fits with BA being targeted now. BA has only just turned 26 (6 December birthday) so will have a good resale value for another three years or more- he is only a year and a few days older than Bradley Dack.
  11. Another great from my childhood passing RIP
  12. He is actually a south London boy and is 6ft 4ins.
  13. At least if we get relegated we can be sure of having international weekends off..
  14. Well I have just signed a contract, who is the other one?
  15. Three nights in the Bigg Market- the man has stamina, give him that.
  16. there being here (Brockhall) or there (Boro)? Ok seen the answer. There means there. It is all there to me in Malta.
  17. Watch for a little figure running in the cold round Brockhall...
  18. Scores with a fair few contested headers. It also has him in talks with Rovers...
  19. Boro league table shows: P28 F31 A20 Who would want to be a forward there? Do they even need forwards?
  20. I and others posted last summer Rovers had a four window transfer strategy but if we were in with a shout of promotion in January, additional money would be considered. Mowbray has delivered the goods with four wins, three clean sheets and after not deserving to lose any of the three other top four games, set things right against West Brom and off we went. Plus two games against Newcastle where we gave as good as we got and would have progressed had VAR lottery been reversed.
