Do not associate those comments to me.

Ask yourself a simple question. Why do the Raos seemingly refuse to entertain any potential sale of Rovers? IMO, they are sh1t scared of something.

Managers of many clubs talk about their new signings and what they bring to the club with one of the key attributes being a winning mentality. 3 out of our 4 signings (if Baradji gets over the line) come from relegated sides used to losing! That does not augur well!

Posted earlier today on that one. In any event, the only thing a new contract secures is a potentially bigger fee for Rovers. How many players sign new contracts with release clauses!? Bigger wage or not, if the lad doesn't fancy being at Rovers any longer and other more ambitious clubs want him then it's game over.

Agree. Not only that, think Travis and Tronstad (and maybe even Hyam) look in the mirror and ask themselves if they really want to be here, as if they didn't know already! Posted earlier in the week It would be devastating if we lost 1 of our 3 key players, disastrous if we lost 2 and catastrophic if we lost all 3. It's not looking great.

Yes they are all exceptional players, however, the point I am trying to make is age should be no barrier - if you are good enough then you are old enough. I accept some players 'bloom' later. Tyjon seems a 'special' talent as evidenced by those PL team trying to snare him. IMO, if the lad is a 'special' talent, at the very least, he should be playing some 1st team football for Rovers this season.

If you are good enough then you are old enough: Pele - international at 16 and playing and starring in World Cup winning team at 17 Mbappe - international at 18 and playing and starring in World Cup winning team at 19 Yamal - international at 16 and playing and starring in Euros winning team at 17 George Best - United 1st team at 17 Trevor Francis - Brum 1st team at 16 and banged 4 goals in 1 league game at 16 Damien Duff and Phil Jones - PL debuts at 18 If Tyjon is going to be the player we hope and think he is, he should be playing 1st team football for Rovers this season.

@roversfan99 have just served a 2 day posting ban for defending myself against a cretinous individual so I will refrain from dissing you. You say 'without names' - well you got one with JRC and before reported anywhere else (took Jackson almost 2 days to even confirm). Posted about a 2nd signing before reported anywhere else - I was given the player (Baradji) but given sensitivities (other clubs' interest) didn't reveal. Told Brittain was 'done and dusted' and the club's plan was to announce along with the 2 new signings prior to Stanley game. Clearly, a spanner has been thrown into the works with subsequent offers from Derby and Middlesbrough and whether a new contract has been signed or not is now irrelevant as I think it's clear he views other clubs as better options and wants away. As for your comment "stop living off the Rhodes one" - I don't 'live off' anything connected to Rovers. I post on here in good faith both with opinions and also anything I may 'hear' that could be posted on a MB (some things I hear can't be posted for obvious reasons). Some things I post prove to be correct (another being Battersby & associates attempts to buy into Rovers some years ago - took media 3 or 4 days to catch up on that one) and some things I post don't happen - such is football!

Think you are absolutely right. Alebiosu not good enough for a relegated Belgian Pro League side and loaned to St Mirren who I doubt would even survive in the Championship. Doubt we've paid more than £200k for the lad and would think we've signed 3 cheap, unproven and virtually unkown players for about £750k up front. These are not signings of the Tronstad, Sigurdsson ilk. Very much doubt any of Alebiosu, De Neve, Tavares good enough to hold down a place in our starting 11.

Nope, he is 1 of the 2.

Told tonight Brittain has signed a new contract and will be announced before the Stanley game together with TWO new signings.

History is littered with accounting scandals where the accounts have not represented reality with huge anomalies coming to light causing huge issues - needless to say, big firms of external auditors were hauled over the coals. If you are interested then in the UK look at the history around BHS, Carillion, Patisserie Valerie, Post Office Horizon Scandal and Tesco. Further afield, look to the US and Enron, Lehman Bros and WorldCom. In my career, I have sat on opposite sides of the table and I can tell you it is not difficult to play a few tunes with the accounts without resorting to irregular practices and it wasn't too difficult to 'pull the wool' over the eyes of the external auditors. I would be intrigued to see the 'books' of Rovers.

Both JRC and Buckley, like Dolan, progressed through 'the ranks' and we know what Rovers' pay policy seems to be with those type of lads. Although I understand JRC and Buckley earn sizeably more than Dolan did, I think you will find both are some distance away from Rovers' alleged new wage cap of £10k per week. Not as difficult to shift as you might think.

Without doubt, our 3 key players are Brittain, Travis and Tronstad - all 30 or under. Without those 3, even with average replacements, I think we would be sunk. I don't think the age argument has any mileage. Take the current PL Champions - arguably, their 3 key players are Alisson (32), VVD (34) and Salah (33). Can you imagine the uproar if Liverpool lost those 3 players. They are the glue that binds together the rest of the team and makes them the unit they are. It would be devastating if we lost 1 of our 3 key players, disastrous if we lost 2 and catastrophic if we lost all 3. Does anyone really believe we would replace any of them with even half decent players given the cheap and unproven, and sometimes unwanted by any other clubs, signings we are making.

Don't give a feck what you think. I post in good faith. Would be interested to see the Twitter post you think I've copied - has it not occurred to you they may well have copied my post from here!?!? I posted on here about 11.20am - what time is the Twitter post?
