Posh are the perfect example to all clubs on how to buy players on the cheap and sell them for a massive profit. They seem to manage it season after season They DONT buy them cheap! They usually pay a fee, but because they sell pretty much every striker for amazing profit, there able to pay fees👍🏽

Yeah, I’ll own it - was wrong about signing JCH. I didn’t rate Widdrington and I still think he’s been hit and miss, but credit where it’s due because he pulled a rabbit out of the hat with JCH. I take it you’ve never called a signing wrong either? Or had an opinion on a player that didn’t age well? Come on now. Nope, recently I've said Bennett and Nichols weren't what we needed, Bennett I said that after watching him in his first game. Nichols was a busted flush way before the end of his first season with us. Sercombe had a first good season and yet people were expecting him to replicate that every season. He didn't, was I surprised? No. Also said JML was too inexperienced if we were hoping for a game changer to pick up points last season. Was I wrong? No. My experience? Only 40 years of watching the Gas. Dont seem to get a lot wrong mate! 👏🏾👏🏾

What is going on? We went a whole day without signing anyone. Wael doesn’t care. What have the Al Qadi’s ever done for Rovers? Joke by the way. you ruined it with the last sentence 😩

hang on a minute, where we should never have been? We’re we’re absolutely sh** that year! John ward put everything in place for that relegation. I don’t blame DC for that, more the players that ward recruited, that didn’t give a sh**! They must be a WUM, I can't believe anyone could actually be this dense. 🤡

He just failed towards the end. Most managers end up leaving clubs with perceived failure. Over his whole time managing us, he was a huge success. Let's not forget that. He took us down where we should never have gone and hes lauded for getting us back where we should have been hang on a minute, where we should never have been? We’re we’re absolutely sh** that year! John ward put everything in place for that relegation. I don’t blame DC for that, more the players that ward recruited, that didn’t give a sh**!

All this experienced head, if he believes in what he’s telling the players, fair play to him, most of these so called experienced managers are now behind the times! Maybe it’s time for youth! Why not at least them have a go ?

Because a member of staff with an iPhone can make a 4k video in the same amount of time it takes to take 20 photos and choose the best. Amazing technology and all that... I think someone should do a drawing and trace over it using blue carbon paper to make copies, then send them all out via 2nd class post. When oh when will Rovers embrace modern technology ffs. i like that idea👍🏽

Always enjoyed Wally Walters doing his thing for us. Even in the twilight of his career, what a player. Have to agree, very exciting player

To be fair to the OP I think he was referring to players who forced a move rather than were poached. Can't think of any at the moment, Muzzy perhaps but he never really made it, and Hoskins was a complete flop. hoskins struggled with injuries, but was a very good footballer

What's this 30,000 rubbish? City's attendance barely scrapes 21k and only then for the last 2 seasons when they've been in with a shout of going up. In 15/16 it was 15,000. There's absolutely nothing to suggest that even if they were Premier league they would have a higher average attendance than the likes of Southampton, Palace, Fulham, Norwich, Stoke, Swansea and West Brom. So what's the easiest, for City increase their attendances by 7K to 28K (I think that's AG's capacity?) for Premiership football, or Rovers to increase theirs by 12/13K to 20K due to just a new ground/possible promotion? Even if City's only went up to 25K ours 15K that's still around 10K extra new football fans to find. That depends if city are still doing well? We all know how quickly they’ll dwindle

I think, the thing Is with a new ground, everyone wants to see what’s it’s like. You then have to hope, it coincides with a little bit of success on the pitch. If that happens, you can easily attract an extra 5k to our attendances.

DC was the greatest manager this club has had to date in my oppinion. He was far from hopeless in league 1, but I think he had reached the end of the line when he left .Though I think like us he became frustrated with the lack of progress off the pitch. Had we not lost Taylor I am sure we would have reached the playoffs. Although having said that had Coughlan stayed I think we would have been promoted this season, but that's for another debate. sorry but he doesn’t come close to Gerry Francis, he won the league spending about 90k, then 12th position in the now championship!
