He surely needs to come out, offer an apology and explain himself. I guess if people had read his whole interview before condemning him because of a click-bait headline in the BDE they would have seen the “explanation.” Why apologise when he’s working for the benefit of BRFC, and so far he’s done pretty well. UTG! I meant for speaking to the evil pest

Thankfully most of us can see through it now.

I have merged both threads together as it was one and the same subject. Wrong thing to do in my opinion. The two articles from the same interview were released on different days, one to provoke a knee jerk “not on my watch” reaction and the second that contextualises his comment as revealing it is another of the many strings he would like to have to his bow, but it is the one he knows would cause unease if he used it too often or that ended up being more to the benefit of the other club than ourselves. Now you’ve got some of the more negative comments appearing after the true nature of the interview came to light....probably because the controversial thread had the more eye catching title. Confuses things rather than clears them up.

Confuses things rather than clears them up. What else was he supposed to do. The threads are about the same thing and he merged them in the order they came out. If people are confused they need to read the whole thing imo. If he hadn't merged it chances are someone would have asked him to do so anyway.

Give me strength. Anything for a moan eh?

I don't think we should take the Teds kids, but I have no problem with taking their released players

Give me strength. Anything for a moan eh? No, what I am saying is they are two different topics. One is that TW should have the effrontery to suggest that it might be worth taking young players from the neighbours as not doing so harms us more than them. Leave that one to fester in its own vitriol so that the BP can select random crass comments for their sh** stirring purposes. The second is a full discussion of a timely review of what TW has put together in the time he has been here to address our methodology of selecting future possible gas recruits given the parameters of budget and required attributes. That one should engender a more positive debate about whether gasheads feel he is looking in the right places (not much mention of overseas scouting for instance, where it is rumoured that the same skill sets and experience can be obtained for a smaller outlay, not covering the NW because the perception is competition from local clubs will likely mean that even if we offer similar terms we can’t offer a location they would opt for), is looking at the right levels (vanarama north and south, ie tier six, appears to be the lower limit), how do his resources stack up ? Too many or too few ? What should we be able to sustain. I know Topper (and GGMI) often compete for the award of opening several threads on the same topic unnecessarily but, in this instance I think Topper had a right to open a separate thread on the deeds of TW and his team to distinguish from the narrow clickbait induced thread of the previous day. Its not a moan that you need strength for...its an observation that I don’t think in this case merging the threads was beneficial.

Exclusive: Why Bristol Rovers want to forge closer links with Bristol City... Um...we don’t. The sh** have 28 first team squad players, and 15 out on loan. There are approximately 4,000 professional footballers in England alone, why would we even begin to entertain the thought of having any of their cr**? Get and shove it. UTG!

UTG! maybe because their players live locally, so won't need to relocate and they play for a higher level club ? Not saying i agree with it btw.

For me this is a head and heart thing. My head says we should be interested in any affordable players (especially local ones) who will demonstrably strengthen the team. My heart says I wouldn't want any of their players. The only exception would be out of contract players who could still do a job.

I like to see the evidence of all these threads I'm suppose to open as I rarely open them!!!

I do believe on this occasion it was a mistake to merge the treads. The thread about the city connection was good for all the posters who love to vent abuse at bristol city and kept those posters happy. But the thread about the whole article was an interesting insight into the current scouting set up at the club and had good posts about the subject. Now its just one thread slagging off the other bristol club devoid of any proper discussion.

What I cant get my head around is how they can be so poor at communicating to fans above the pitch level and when they decide to engage, they have this fool come out and say something like that. It doesnt take much sense to know that it is essentially suggesting to your clients that you are happy to formalise the current hierarchy in the rivalry forevermore. Which may well be the case but is a kick in the teeth nonetheless. It just seems such a stupid own goal.

Agreed...there should be 2 threads. One for the grown-up response to this; and one for the ''embarrassed'' by everything Rovers staff say/do response.

TW's view not compatible with the heart and soul of the club. Doing a good job but should not be in it if he does not understand and buy into the club culture.

Average age of Man U team today youngest in euro history, Boss Ollie said they could benefit from going out on loan to play 'men's' football, so go get a couple TW and all is forgiven!
