I can’t help but wonder what level of budget we have & how the BoD and manager plan to shed us of the deadwood, to afford this new striker. I don’t even know the financial rules tbh. Anyone know please ? KP.. I'm guessing the budget that will allow us to shed more of the deadwood still under contract and secure a half decent striker will be significantly increased by the potential sell and trigger of JCH's sell on clause. Obviously no guarantees, but I'm sure the possibility would of been discussed.. .

It doesn't seem that long ago that JB was full of praise for him.. However it was probably done as a morale boost for the player rather than a true discription of his ability..

I wonder if there's any chance of us re-signing Brown? Seems to have fallen out of favour at Pompey. Loves the club, reckon he could do a job in League 2 See Browner has scored twice in the first half for Pompey...

Do you think it was “let” or “instructed”? Probably a bit of both. The thing is i don't want to watch a team that has been put together with a load of youngsters like Garners team , which if any good will be brought on to be flogged to a higher league club. I want us to build a balanced side that can take us forward to the next level, signing youngsters we can sell on like the board wanted will leave us always in the lower leagues . 100% with you on this.. I haven't read a single post thus far that makes reference to the boards managerial expectation of bringing kids through to sell them on. Firstly it's not the sole reason for this mess but was never going to happen overnight. Its probably one of the mistakes the owner might be taking responsibility for in his recent address to the fans who knows? Bad policy making however that in my opinion is partly to blame and shouldn't be disregarded when discussing the virtue of whether the current manager should be sacked.. Oh and by the way.... Barton in

Heard rumours that we are looking to sign an unattached striker today ready in time to play tomorrow vs Ipswich. Watch this space... Let's hope its another Andy Rammell..

In truth I do put a lot of blame on JCH as well because players have short memories- in many ways he was worse than Matty Taylor (other than he didn't go to City) because he had a year left on his contract and IMO as we "saved" him from being a very ordinary bench player into a first team regular. He could easily have behaved like Lambert and signed a new contract- the club deserved that rather than to be pressurised into selling him.There is little doubt in my mind that had he stayed he would have had another good season and at the end of this season have joined at least a Championship club. Steve.. Unfortunately the days of people like Lambert and loyalty have vanished. What is it they say about football? If you want loyalty buy a dog. UTG!

It all started to go wrong when our board gave a 39 year old with no managerial experience license to dismantle a very good league 1 side and rebuild it with kids. It’s going to take a couple of transfer windows and a good managerial appointment this time round to sort this mess out. I really don’t know what the board were thinking with Garners appointment and then Tisdale never came across as the right man to sort out the mess Garner had made either. The last 13 months has been an almighty f**k up. This...

No Barton please!!!!!! We are not a thuggish or cheating team. We must all remember the Fleetwood home games last few seasons? Would you want our club manager and players to behave like that? There are far better managers around? Personally I think Wael as manager could probably do a much better job? We all hate teams like Wycombe because we sing Always Cheat......? Do we want that? Managers like Pearson, VillaManager, etc. who are tough in the background! That’s what we need! But most importantly we need coaching staff who can teach this current crop of players how to defend, how to mark (especially the posts at corners), not to have 7/8 defenders in the 6 yard box, how to control a ball, how to pass a ball5 yards on the ground, how to head straight, how to kick the ball down the touchline without it going out, how to throw a ball legally, hope to shoot and hit the target, how to take set pieces, use only 2 men at corners if u r going to actually use the spare one, etc etc Maybe someone like Ellis coming back could do us and him a world of good? The Only Way Is Up But the Plastic Player Population needs to be toughened and Tefaled up! UTG Good Post... I've been banging on for ages about Nigel Pearson.. Not likely I know because we only employ yes men... Pearson all day long for me

Interesting article about a Joey Barton interview. Istm this is the sort of interaction that may have led to GC leaving, instead of the all or nothing 'moving closer to home' and the similarly all or nothing 'We weren't going to back him' it's a bit more nuanced, and a bit more 'both sides.' www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/joey-bartons-honest-revelation-newcastle-19806698"He was the brilliant (the chairman). He gave me an enormous opportunity probably when no-one else in world football would. It was always going to be difficult to get an opportunity with my rap sheet. In my mind I was going to go in with Dyche-y (at Burnley) and do an apprenticeship." Barton said that he left Fleetwood after feeling owner and chairman Andrew Pilley wanted to dictate transfer and team matters. He said the pair didn't speak for ten days before he was fired and there became a "disconnect". Explaining what led to his departure at the League One club, he said: "The chairman was good as gold (at first) in that he didn't force his opinion on me as a senior chairman and he let me make a few of my own decisions in terms of transfers - some good, some bad, some indifferent. We finished in the play-offs in the second season. "We came back this time and were trying to rebuild the side and I think what happened was he went into a transfer embargo (he took out an £800,000 loan from the EFL because of coronavirus). A few players were at the end of their cycle - Ched Evans, I'd had enough of him. He just wasn't performing on the pitch and I felt we needed to improve in that position. "When I went to speak to him, he let me know about the embargo which was a lot longer after it had happened than I felt I should have known about it. He said 'We're not going to go in the market or come out of the embargo'. For me I felt to get in the play-offs, and that's what I wanted to do - I want to manage in the Premier League, we all do, that's where I played. "Where we were, eight points out of the play-offs if we get a couple of bodies in we'll be there or thereabouts. We don't need Sergio Aguero but he disagreed and felt we should have gone with the younger players. I was trying to say 'They're young players, we're growing them but they're not ready yet'. "It got to the point where we both couldn't be right." Good read that.. Do away with employing yes men Send him here and ask him to bring Nigel Pearson with him.. Just a thought....

For the Shrewsbury away fixture it could be quite amusing if Rovers fans sent boxes of weetabix to Shrewsbury town fc to arrive within a few days before the game. They can donate them to food banks if they wish. Endless delivery Van's arriving with parcels for the admin staff to inbox...to find :0) weetabix and a message like "you'll never get rid of the gas :0) " Very interesting... I think you may be on to something here..

I didn't watch today but great result and sounds like we deserved it! On the point about penalties, while we can't rely on getting them, there does seem to be one in every game I watch at the moment! I know that's partly VAR but Rovers too. I went to watch Larkhall v Mangotsfield today and there was another penalty! Who won? A mate of mine is managing Mangotsfield. They lost 3-0 I believe..
