lumley is 3rd choice at QPR and probably more likely to sign on a permanent in the summer doubt hes going to be happy playing for QPR u21s when he knows he can walk into the starting line up of a league 1 team. sweeney is a different case but a season long loan is a realistic option.

no 1 is a terrible idea , getting a 0-0 away from home and getting the same as getting tonked 10-0 . i think the points system is pretty fair and should be left alone.

So Higgs deal was not as bad as everyone is making out then, if we have looked into it for ages, looked at different options and still decided to stick to that deal. Under the Higgs deal we wouldn't of even made money from bar sales and the UWE would of controlled everything. So no .

What about Matt godden from Stevenage, think his contract is up in the summer and scored 20+ goals for them.

We just need to win as many games we can between now and the end of the season and see where we're at. A top 10 finish would be a good season for us. I feel we're paying the price slightly for not getting a decent replacement for the snake but DC was quoted as saying he was willing to wait till th e summer to get his top targets and go all out for a promotion next year. Happy to play the long game given our previous record with expensive signings. Pressure on that given last summer his top targets/signings were Hartley, Moore, James & Roos! Admittedly none of those players have set the world alight but I trust dc , everyone slated him when he brought lumley and sweeney in and they have been huge successes

to be fair to the team we have done well this year, a 8th place finish would be a decent return and give us a decent base to build from for next year. i don't think luke james is the answer up front , i'll take him on a free but wouldn't want to be relying on him next season.

The truth is we needed to drop out the league, the club had been rotting for years and relegation gave us the wake up we needed. If you look at the bottom of league two there are a few clubs in similar position the were we were post relegation, Leyton orient , Notts county , Hartlepool all would probably benefit from a year or two in non league. It's ironic that falling out the football league was the best and worst thing to ever happen.

I follow his twitter page and he comes across well, passionate about football and loves the rovers. Shame he's leaving but not surprising given the standard of the BEP these days.

I see that Ellis “about as subtle as a brick” Harrison is up to his old tricks again. Is it that he’s that desperate for attention that if he’s not playing he has to wind up the fans, or does he just genuinely not give a f*ck about us? Him and Taylor out for lunch - which is fine, they’re obviously good mates - but Harrison has had his fingers burned enough times to realise that this making its way on to social media is going to get under more than a few Rovers fans’ skin. I see he also commented on a post Taylor had put up following their win at Wigan with “W*nker”. It’s pretty apparent from their relationship that this was done with the intention of having a laugh at the expense of the Rovers fans that would inevitably take this at face value; “OMG Harrison just called Taylor a w*nker on instagram – LEGEND” . I can’t understand why he thinks this is ok? If he doesn’t like us, that’s fine, but I can’t think of any situation where an employee would be allowed to take the p*ss out of customers so openly and get away with it. I think that with the ear cupping at Wembley, the evening out at Ashton Gate, the sulky performances on the pitch, and now another social media ‘incident’ it’s time EH had a good look at himself and whether or not he’s being fair to those that have contributed significantly to his monthly pay packet for the past six or seven years. I’d say not. Who gives a f**k who he hangs around with in his spare time , get a life mate .

Anyone else see the similarities between them down the road and how we were about 4 years ago… rotting from the inside out. The difference is they're doing it AFTER their saviour has arrived. Thank f**k ours our grounded and doing it sensibly whereas theirs is a deluded, arrogant 'businessman' who thinks he can buy anything by chucking plenty of money at it. (and does anyone else reckon Lil Lee might be Pantsdown's love child? How else is he still there whilst they sack people who actually know things about football?) Hardly comparable to us 4 years ago, championship football and a shiny new stadium. There where we want to be if anything, they got problems on the pitch but I'm sure a new manager will sort that out for them.

He's been fantastic this year , just goes to show the benefits of sticking with our youth products. Nobody would of batted a eyelid if he had left the club 2 years ago.

What the hell are people smoking around here ? Of all the utter sh** posted on this thread, THATS the one that bothers you??!! This whole subject is complete bollocks!! I think throwing a berbatov signing into the mix probably broke the camels back. Needless to say these uwe threads are the greatest work of fiction since Will Shakespeare last picked up his quill.

Not sure if anyone read the comments at the bottom of the uwe virtual reality tour piece in the evil post yesterday but someone is saying there is a benefactor willing to put in 15m to plug the gap. I presume that will mean they take a significant stake in the club. "MichaelRooney" has been posting fact & figures about the UWE for ages, he's always claimed the Al-Q's could never fund it themselves, just look at his comments on the Feb 21 where this same £15m shortfall was mentioned, it seems a bit of a coincidence to me that just over a week later we've now found a benefactor for the "missing" £15m he mentioned? www.bristolpost.co.uk/people/MichaelRooney/profile.htmlI would have thought if somebody had turned up at the club waving £15m around Gasincider etc would have got wind of it, although if Berbatov is announced as our new signing today then perhaps there is some truth in the rumour!!! What the hell are people smoking around here ?
