All this detailed knowledge of players salaries,their contract negotiations as well as details about sell on clauses. Remind me again which position you hold at the club? I just work in football with several clubs, yes some of if maybe rubbish or wide of the mark but in the main a lot of it is true. I’m told we are about to sign a foreign player who has been a target of ours for while. If it comes off BlueButterFly we will see, he’s about 6ft 6 and bold. Again my source might be wide of the mark, let’s see June 1st when all contracts end. A lot of people work in football, they don't all go posting bollocks for a bit of attention.

But they aren't unearthing gems, they are first in line for any conference player that has made a name for himself the previous season like that Ricky Miller. We can't compete with Peterborough, they probably have a great reputation given how their conference signings usually go on to play at a higher level and their proximity to the midlands and London gives them a good catchment area for players to move on without too much up-rooting. If you were the top conference player and you had Rovers or Peterborough after you which one would you sign for? Not sure that’s true. We could point to Taylor, Bodin, Harrison and others and tell them come here, you will play and then you will improve yourself and move on. For as many Posh players that move on I’m sure there are some who don’t. Yes they’ve done well but not sure they are the answer we should look at. UTG! We;ve had some success ourselves yes, but can you see players choose Peterborough over us given our respective geographical locations and general club health? We were in for Miller apparently but as soon as Peterborough batted their lashes we never had a chance. Fortunately on that particular occasion but there is no way we could snatch a Maddison or a Marriott from under their nose. As a sidenote we hardly have a stellar alumni in recent years- we got the maximum out of Taylor, Bodin and Harrison as since they left none have made a mark at Championship level. Bodin may yet come good but the other two have certainly made a case that their ceiling is somewhere beyond League One but still short of Championship standard.

If you were the top conference player and you had Rovers or Peterborough after you which one would you sign for? wrong place to ask that question mate - I’d turn down Man City for the Gas but I’m nuts and know it! Did I grow up dreaming of playing for Man City and earning 200k a week - no! I’d take £600 a week to play for the gas! It would mean so much more! You can’t take money with you and look at the people with it? No thanks! That's a really romantic idea, but with a limited career would we really turn down hundreds of thousands every week to play for 4k for the Gas? At the end of a career yes, but in our prime? Hmm...

Bodin may yet come good but the other two have certainly made a case that their ceiling is somewhere beyond League One but still short of Championship standard. As I said, I can see players choosing us. I guess it’s how GC will sell us to players. You took Miller as an example, but he was a local to the Posh area and as you said not any loss whatsoever. Maddison, obviously not now but he is the one who may walk away from them on a free. He’s been on the list there for some time I think and is about to enter the last year of his contract, so on this occasion the well-oiled transfer machine may not produce for Posh. Whilst you may be correct about our general club health making them potentially able to offer more and their scouting system in non league appears far superior but when you talk about our respective geographical locations, I presume you’re joking. Depending on where you are based of course but blimey I’ve been to Posh twice in the last 10 years and it’s like a never ending road to the outback. Bristol is far easier to get to and probably has better links. In Millers case and Marriott who came up from Ipswich Posh might be easier but not overall, imo. UTG!

I have to say Pompey seem very shrewd when it comes to the transfer market. Not that difficult when you can afford decent wages. You save on transfer fees by waiting for good OOC players. Then you can pay them good wages / golden hellos - it's like the opposite of a vicious circle. However, they were in lge 2 for ages & even this season didn't REALLY get that close to promotion, so it's hardly a super set up they have. You don't sound envious of them at all...

I have to say Pompey seem very shrewd when it comes to the transfer market. Three key players this season: Matt Clarke player exchange from Ipswich, Jamal Lowe nominal fee from Hampton & Richmond Borough and Ronan Curtis £100k from Derry. Clarke now linked with a £5mil move and Lowe with a £2mil+ move. Impressive indeed.

Didn't REALLY get that close to promotion, apart from spending a large part of the season in the top two and finishing 4th in the table with 88 points (3 points behind promoted Barnsley).

Peterborough are the club that seems to be the clever ones in league one as they always sign cheap talented players and sell for the best price after they’ve made it successfully in this league...and the club shows a profit at the end of year not like us at 3 million in debt They are owned by a rich guy that is willing to invest over the years while weal and before have never. I would very suprised if Peterbourgh arent paying much larger wages then us.They have a decent ground as well but are not a bigger club then us due to its fanbase size. sadly i think our fan base will get smaller this year due to the lack of investment in "decent" facilities for supporters

Fan base will only get smaller if results are poor particularly at home. If results are better the fanbase will be higher but granted that if we were successful and got a new ground then suddenly the fanbase could show a substantial increase but I fear we could dream on!

According to sources (only Bristol post tbf so not the best) his contract is too much for Swindon to afford yet so they will play the waiting game and try to save a few quid before trying to get him in. If this is true then I would personally get rid to free up those wages as his inconsistency outweighs the benefits he provides us.

Spot on, it’s all about winning football as the Conference proved. Winning football is winning football, the bloke who knows his side has a good chance of winning isn’t bothered about the cost of pies or pints, he will use the Gloucester Road if he wants. I do wonder what business Henbury is in and this obsession with the club, facilities and Gorringe. You only have to look at Bournemouth and their 12,000 ground and facilities to realise anything can be done with winning football.

Highest paid player in the squad along with Locks, he’s on mega bucks. All part of the previous manager myth of no budget, he sparked what he had on crap. We have to pay final instalment to Shews of £150k this summer for Payne or perhaps they would like him back for the final payment? Well hopefully...……….of course he was a one season hit with them

Yet our average home attendance in the conference was 6,793 compared to a terrible home record last season which still yielded an average of 8,320

Our Conference average was higher than our relegation season in 2013/14 when we had an average of 6420. That would have been even lower but 10590 attended the final disatrous game against Mansfield.
