We’re in massive trouble. How can we possible survive with this business model. These kids were the future of Rovers! It’s really harsh but that’s the football business, 99% don’t make it . |

Unless you're in Rovers Academy and then it's 99.99%. I wonder if any other league club has a worse Academy to 1st team player conversion rate? |

According to TransferMarkt we are mid table in League 1 for former academy players in the first team squad www.transfermarkt.com/league-one/eigengewaechse/wettbewerb/GB3 |

It’s really harsh but that’s the football business, 99% don’t make it . All his books are fantastic reading recommend them all. Definitely worth buying a great insight into league and non league. |

If clubs have less than one player you do wonder why any bother with Academy's |

If they did include Sinclair, that might be why we are mid table. |

If clubs have less than one player you do wonder why any bother with Academy's Hoole, Sinclair, Ward and Lawrence. So factually it's a mixed bag... Why should we keep an academy? Financially we probably shouldn't, but then what will happen if clubs like us choose not to? Players will become concentrated in the big 20-30 clubs in the country and even more talent will be wasted not even making Chelsea's U23 bench than currently is wasted... |

I have a bad feeling when I go to the dentist or the hospital not about us. Whatever will be will be. With us most close seasons are about hoping the manager gets it right. No difference now. We’ve just had two decent seasons consolidating our place in League 1 which has been as good as it gets this century. So I’m pretty upbeat. Some players upped sticks and more or less gave up in February so it’s been a tough time for fans and MT. He’s come through a hard time and has got rid of some of those players who didn’t want to be here. Now we start again. Have a good summer ‘73. 😀 UTG! |

disappointed to say the least,hello division two! Whoever is left, is left because they’re under contract. Doesn’t mean they’ll stay. If they say they’ve transfer listed them the club has basically revealed it wants shot of the players so its bargaining position is gone. Its better to not reveal your hand than to come out letting everyone know you haven’t any cards to play with. If a club wants rid of a player then they let it be known and take the best offer. Clubs sometimes get agents to help players find a new club. |
