If we get JCH that would be amazing. The main thing fans should be looking out for will the club spend nearly £1 million as suggested in the last window ?. Was is just a good P.R exercise ? Was it geniune?. And with the play offs an outside possibility. Will the club push hard and give Taylor around a £1 million in this window ?. Of course I want J.C.H but the wider question is will this money be made available for a late play off push ?. No way is he worth what was being mentioned back in august. He’s only got a matter of months left until he’s a free agent so imo will be worth half what was agreed in the summer at best. He isn’t coming as per article last week. Cannot understand it myself as I’m sure he’d be available for 3/400k. Let’s see what Taylor has lined up. Personally I won’t be watching where JCH goes as I have no doubt he’ll bag 12-15 goals 2nd half of the season.

J C H not the answer, he will never be them same as he was before. His better days are gone so lets look somewhere else. I’d have him at a good price in a heartbeat. Golden boot last 2 seasons and was still banging them in this season before being benched. A huge upgrade from the strikers we have at present in my opinion. Example, Alfie May is same age and currently top goal scorer, Sam Hoskins another player who is the same age and is banging them in.

In all fairness, JCH has scored 4 league goals this season and 7 in all competitions That's more than any of our players. Alfie May is a year older than JCH and has knocked in 17 league goals this season already. I think 350 - 400k on a 2 year deal would be Regards to sell on value we should be bringing through our own youngsters from the academy And he hasn’t even been playing

I do wonder if he wasn't a former rovers player whether we would have so much interest in him. I think it was Barton who wanted him, not sure if he fits now. Yes he has the potential to score lots of goals but I would rather we spent that sort of money on a young pacey striker. I think Martin is great at what he does and I don't see JCH giving much above that, Martin is a proven championship striker and in my opinion better than what JCH has to offer. Wow! Martin is nowhere near JCH’s quality. I’d have JCH all day long. Golden boot in what 2 seasons, he’d bag us 12 goals between now and end of the season.

I was a massive fan of JB but disgusted by this podcast. Speaking like he is proud of it all. The man does himself no favours as the qualities are there but let’s himself down. At least we have a respectable personnel in the building now and I’m sure the players will settle with him.

I think Mangan has given the board time to not rush into things. Although Derby on Saturday will the big test on whether he can hold the fort or not. Currently I’m ok with waiting and seeing. Coughlan did it for the Gas so maybe Mangan can.

This one was a tough watch. Reminded me of my Dad as we sadly have been through this with losing my sister in the same way at 29. Love DC and hope one day he is back in our managerial box.

Going for a draw or a port vale win. After the antiques at the weekend and Barton’s weird team selections I’m feeling his time at the club is coming to an end. Hoping Sincs will actually get some decent game time tonight…. Hoping for a win but can’t see the squad being very happy right now after yet another player being savaged publicly by Barton.

Last night showed what a weak link Finley is in the team.
Bogarde, Evans, Woods, playing progressive football. Trying to get us on the front foot, moving the ball around nice, working hard. Finley hasn't been at the races all season long.
What does he add to this side?
Mistake to make him captain.
He can go out on loan in January as far as I'm concerned.
There are better footballers like Grant Ward and McCormick who deserve to be sniffing around on the bench for that shirt.
I second that!! Not a fan of his at all.

Brave enough or daft enough to dismantle a stand and attempt to build another one without pp. You do wonder what other less noticeable risks he's taking on a daily basis. It'll be interesting to see what the new owners make of him, bringing in a professional outfit like BNP Paribas hardly suggests they are prepared to take similar risks. Agree. Brave or negligent? I am starting to feel an arrogance from Bristol Rovers that I haven't felt before. Treating fans like sh**: Food is shocking. £4.50 for a burnt pasty. Toilets in the Thatchers end are shocking. Two cubicles for blokes and they are absolutely disgusting. They have messed up the fanzone by being too greedy. Jerk King and the Churros offering have refused to pay increased prices. This leaves a hole in the fanzone offering. The concept of the fanzone was to create a destination and win the fans from the local pubs. Was a struggle to get a pint at half time today. Was in the queue before the whistle had been blown for 1st half. 2nd half had actually started before I got served. Then there is the South Stand debacle. The arrogance of just building it without planning permission is a joke. We should be ashamed. Then I could mention season tickets and new kit going on sale later than previous years. Then today I witnesses a supplier being treated like sh**. I had two reactions to this: 1) That is a terrible way to treat a supplier. 2) Rovers are paying money for someone to stand around waiting to start and no one dealt with the situation. "It's been a busy week" was the response from Rovers. Rovers have always been community focused. This feels like it is being eroded and I don't want to be silent over it. I got a pint no problem at half time and had a ciggy outside too. Even got food at the Mexican store before the game and had two pints outside. A burnt pasty sounds sh*t. The food they do outside is good so maybe give that one a go next time.

Well there you have it. Shame too many of our own fans want conspiracy and negligence by our club to throw rocks at. Total embarrassment some of our so called "fans". How do we know somebody at Rovers didn't decide to have a tea break etc before drawing up the contract or emailing it over to the EFL as surely 4 seconds could have been saved somewhere along the way? I'd still question if the EFL are that tight with time scales anyway. 4 seconds…? I don’t buy that and if that’s the case the appeal grounds would be strong. A glitch on the system, one of the members had a sudden attack of cramp or had an accident and followed through. 4 seconds 😂

Wtf? Some of you lot need to give your heads a wobble. 😆 If you're happy to accept incompetence, fair enough, however I'd prefer this club to be run with a certain level of professionalism; Gorringe is clearly out of his depth. My employer expects certain standards and if I didn't meet them I wouldn't expect to retain my position within the company, why should it be any different at a football club? You don’t even know what happened yet. Typical speculation. Unless We were a fly on the wall we really do not know. I’d like to think that Rovers did everything they could to sign their top target of the window but other factors came into play. I’m sure Barton will let us know later.

If anyone at this club is responsible for this they have to be sacked. I’m angry beyond words at the level of incompetence and we all should draw the line here. I’ve had enough. Resounding boos at full time if we don’t score. We have wasted a ton of money on a squad which is going nowhere due to not having key personnel. Absolute bunch of incompetent losers A squad going nowhere? We’ve played 5 league matches🙃 If you have a season ticket I’ll have it. Many thanks 👍

Deal was done at 9:30 or its off, which is it? Exactly, I can’t see how it would have been f*cked up if that was the case. Something has happened though. Very strange.

I’m sure they get an extension on time… can’t see how the whole deal is off if paperwork ect was all agreed and processed. I was told you can apply for 1h extension.

Are the Kuwaities still involved with the club. It's all gone very quiet. It would be typical Rovers if they failed to come up with the £'s when it came to the crunch. Although WertonGas thinks JB's got £20m already to spend. Ffs 20m to spend 🫣. Having said that I think we can certainly compete with some of the top end clubs now though. This has been one of our best transfer windows. It’s just now down to Joey to get the football and players playing well together.

Interesting to see this thread slowly turn as it gets less likely we will get him. Until a couple of days ago he was the greatest potential coup in our history and the key to Championship football. Now he's too old, not worth the money asked and can take a hike. Ah football forums. Gotta love 'em. Unbelievable Jeff😂.
