cant comment on the financials but we absolutely did turn him down in the window Ah, well yes the financials would certainly have had quite a big bearing on the viability of the proposal..  The Facebook post explicitly said that PNE would pay 100% of his wages, which seemed too good to be true to me. If it sounds to good to be true, then it is |

Right decision. Why waste a squad place on a bloke who wouldn’t have lasted a month.

What a shockingly embarrassing January window it was. Will Barrett now be taking the squad place? I seem to recall him and Ogogo not getting on the list as they had what were expected to be long term injuries? |

Talking of Barrett, how can someone be allowed to stay out of shape in the way that he has? In fact, how can someone be signed when clearly out of shape? The same criticisms were levelled at him by Coventry fans and that was 3 years ago! |

Have seen no report on Twitter or the club site about how we got on. Just seen we lost 4-3. |

We have tolerated an epidemic of sick notes in recent years, some of which is unavoidable due to the physical nature of the game. However no-one at BRFC who receives an injury seems to recover within 7 to 10 days. It seems to be a standard whole month as a minimum. Are some of them milking it for as long as they can in return for a rest and Wael's money for free?

I find it extremely hard to believe that we would be offered a player of Bodin's calibre for FREE / zero wages... let alone decline it. cant comment on the financials but we absolutely did turn him down in the window So who did he sign on loan for then??? Surely if Preston were looking to loan him out and he wanted to leave for game time, at least one football league club would have signed him? |

We obviously thought it was with the gamble and that he could get fit. Doubt he’s on big money. Think we have made a or of worse signings than him. |

I have no idea if it is accurate or not but the link below is to a webpage which gives details of all players salaries. If true, it is an interesting insite with some surprises (eg Luke Leahy). Interesting also looking at the details for other clubs and our ex players. salarysport.com/football/sky-bet-league-one/bristol-rovers/ |

I'm also in HA accommodation, means I'm homeless right now' I have to survive in £300 a month Ffs...... And they have the job of there dreams, Wankers |

Nicholson on a lot less than youngster’s we signed for the future, according to that. Apparently Hearts and other English clubs were after him. Be surprised if he’s on that much less than the others. |

What a shockingly embarrassing January window it was. Is there still a cap on squad sizes at the moment as I thought that was scrapped when the salary cap went? |

Is there still a cap on squad sizes at the moment as I thought that was scrapped when the salary cap went? I've read articles saying it was scrapped and others saying the restrictions remain, so your guess is as good as mine. |
