Cant say i'll miss him. Where too next for him? I cant see him wanting to sink any lower than the conference. I'm sure he will find somewhere. He's got the promotion from last year on his cv now so maybe a league 2 club will be willing to take a punt. Or even someone like Eastleigh or Forest Green. Tis yeoville i understand may be interested.....

Its ok everybody saying well done with Contract negotiations but until we actually sign some decent players then every player who turns down a contract is a step backwards. I have confidence in DC to get replacements but my big worry is still based on if the Court decision goes against us I can see DC struggling to get players in on the budget he will be provided with. At the moment a mid table maximum is on the cards based on the players we definitely have. We now need 7 or 8 players at least having lost Monkhouse,Balanta,Dawson,Lines and the fact DC was after 4 or 5 players. There is also the possibility that Trotman and Puddy may leave. Perhaps the budget is so tight he needs all these loose ends tied up before delving into the transfer market?

Steve, I'd agree in terms of players available especially if we lost a "core team" player. But, I wouldn't classify Balanta as that. Instead, i'd see this as a neutral step, as DC hasn't committed his precious budget as yet. Difficult to argue that Balanta didn't have a chance, albeit often from the bench, but I am sure there will be others like him available. I agree that the court case decision is massive and I don't see where the monies are coming from to repay the "Wonga" loan if we lose. I see Rodney King has left the Board so will be interesting to see if we have anyone to replace him, preferably with the odd £50 million in his pocket!! This court case is massive for us and I think an awful lot of decisions are riding on it.

It was on a GD tweet - not sure he is a Solicitor though (I thought he was construction or something similar?)

"Geoff Dunford @geoffdunford Jun 19 I hear Rod King has retired from the board of directors. Enjoy your retirement Rod and thank you for your service to our club. #UTG" On Angelo, we'll never know whether he could have lived up to the potential. One of those players of whom you expected great things, but unfortunately never quite delivered in a Rovers shirt. Thanks for the last minute winner against Barnet, thanks for the Play-Off penalty and good luck for the future.

Hope that Balanta finds a club, it will be interesting to see if he does fulfil the potential we've all heard about.
I will always remember him for the penalty at Wembley, and being very quick off the mark in the race to reach Lee Mansell after he slotted home the winner.

Strange this one, listening to Balanta's interview with Gos at the mem on the parade day, sounded like he was pretty certain to stay.
He was far too unfit though undoubtedly talented, I'm sure we can sign a suitable replacement who is perhaps a bit hungrier.
Cheers though Angelo for sticking that last minute winner away and the pen at wembley..

How the hell am I going to get his signature on my yellow shirt now? His was the only one I needed for the set of scorers at Wembley plus DC.

Well well, what a shame, I had a song lined up for him next season but it was not meant to be. Thanks AB for helping us get back to the FL and thanks for the memories I shall never forget, all the best at your next club.

Meh.
Showed (very rare) flashes of brilliance and may have been sharper next season after a full DC pre-season, but I would hope that we could replace him with a more effective winger.
Will always be remembered for the winner v Barnet and Wembley penalty though - respect!
