Maybe to advertise for other clubs to come and take them? If he has lined up other players like he has said in the article it makes sense to try and clear the way on the wage sheet does it not? There are plenty of other official ways for DC to spread the word about availability of players without resorting to public media to promote yourself How is he promoting himself? Seems reasonable that if he wants to make way for new signings to make some noise about it locally. These things always get picked up and with Cheltenham, Newport and FGR local he could easily get some traction that way. You are reading things between the lines that don't exist in my opinion.

rather unfair. about 30 Lge 1, 20 Lge 2, and 10 cup games for Bournemouth. Like I said I wont fully judge until ive seen him play but he's not proven at this level, a few appearance's at this level and the league below then he dropped to the conference? That's just my opinion I don't think your proven league one level by playing 30 games. Well that makes him more proven than most of our squad.

Well done DC. Unwanted players told to leave and everyone else gets a very strong kick up the arse and left knowing who is boss.
I like DC very much.
Still surprised about Macca though.

Invariably it's DC's kock on the block. No time for sentiment. Replace - improve - maintain- replace- improve-maintain-replace......

Disappointment when we resigned the whole squad on promotion, disappointment that we had too many players to keep happy, disappointment that we had too many loan players, disappointment we signed journeymen, disappointment when we signed lower league players, disappointment when we release players both loanees and the same players many have said are not good enough. Still, you can't please all of the people all of the time. Good luck to you all, many thanks for what you have done and hopefully the promotions on your CVs will help to find a new club. Oh, and Topper, try to relax a bit, life is stressful enough without worrying about things we don't even know are true. Although I would like to know how many keyboards you get through in a season 😉 I'm disappointed to have held onto all our best players and not to be in a relegation scrap. I loved those days when Jerel Ifil was parachuted in.

DC is dead to me - he's totally ruined the pre-match "guess the line-up" game by removing 6 possibilities from the equation. You joke but wait until we get complaints that he picks the same players all the time and we've got a young local lad or two on the bench...

I think you're cherry picking you 'evidence' now I do agree that 30 Lge 1 appearances doesn't make you properly 'proven' but you do seem to want to ignore the evidence. And as another poster pointed out very few of our squad have even played 30 lge 1 games + 10 cup games when mainly in Lge 1. Mildy, easter, Lines, lawrence... um... Anyway, football is not just about how many games you've played as a certain level, it's about motivation and team tactics as well. Robbie Ryan, Mark Wright, Carl Regan, to name just a few, all had good spells in Lge 1 or above and were dog sh** for us, for various reasons

We all want Partington to do well - but he's gone down the leagues and not up in the last 5 years.

Making a decent Div 1 player into a very good one must be easier than turning a good National League player into a very good Div 1 player?

Yeah, players other clubs in the same league don't want that should be our target. Give me another Alan Gow or an Andy Bond any day over a Barry Hayles or a Devon White.

Easter,Mac and Lawrence have been treated very well by DC in my opinion. He firstly picks the players to give them a chance to prove themselves and also so other clubs can see footage of them in league one action.The January window allows the players plenty of time to find a club ,either in the window or im sure the club will cancel the contract if the players ask so they can move on as free agents outside the window. It may seem odd but its actually a final thank you to those players for their contributions. DC ob viously values the input of these players both on and off the field over the last few years...as do we all.Those players have earned this early opportunity to find new clubs. Thank you for playing your parts you will all go down in Rovers history as part of something great.

the club will cancel the contract if the players ask so they can move on as free agents outside the window. It has to be done inside the window. Interesting dilemma, though. If you have no club at the end of the window, do you put your feet up in the reserves for the rest of the season, or do you ask the club to cancel your contract so you will be available to other clubs. I imagine a half decent free agent might be quite desirable to the right club, come March.

I don't believe Macca would put his feet up if he didn't find a club and I reckon he'd give 100% in training and would step up if called on to play again. I'm not so sure that would be the case for the other 5.

Liam Lawrence has been a joke of a signing tbh. One good free kick, I hope we haven't been paying him too much.

Dubey to give interviews once a month and DC to accredit him with all the signings rovers make? He's a data analyst of course he is going to have a low profile.
