Peterborough haven't been promoted despite his goals. Maybe he doesn't offer enough in other parts of his game for higher league clubs? Yes they were. They just didn’t stay there. JCH scored over 30 L1 goals to get them there, they just bottled it again.

Have people had mud and debris being allowed to wash away down their streets? And was it related to the removal of the old South Stand? Sorry, I haven't found a reliable enough source to answer that bit directly, but: Although it's possible the debris/mud was related to 'normal' pitch and stadium works, there was also driving the foundation piles into the ground, a few feet from the 100 year old boundary wall that is owned by a neighbour. That was carried out without doing a safety survey, or notifying the neighbour that it was going to happen. Apparently when asked about the potential for damage, the workers said "ah don't worry about it, if there's any damage we're sure the club will pay for it to be repaired. Pretty sure that kind of work is meant to have planning permission in place. I mean surely you see that you’re trying to present us with some kind of facts here which sound an awful lot like “he said she said”. The stuff you’re sharing only goes to further compound what I already believed to be the case, the locals hate Rovers, got p*ssy about this and have decided to find themselves some temporary purpose by making a song and dance over it. The quote from a worker is quite frankly hilarious and sums up the entire thing.

MacAnthony said: “Two clubs from League One are interested in ‘Jonno’ and a third club has just come out of nowhere. “But I have a figure I want for him and if it isn’t met he will stay here. I’m being realistic. I’m not asking for three to four million, but you are trying to buy the best goal scorer outside the Championship. He’s the GOAT (Greatest Of All-Time) in League One. “I paid a substantial sum for ‘Jonno’ to help us get promotion and he’s at his peak now so put your money where your mouth is if you want him.” I'm sensing he wants at least the £750K back he paid or even £1m+? Not really sure he's worth that for probably just two more good seasons? It would be worth every penny if his goals fired us to the Championship. It would. And the other bit people are missing… he could also score the goals to keep us there. We know how good JCH is… I think some are playing it down a bit! He’s an absolute monster and only two years ago I genuinely thought he’d be getting a top champ move for £6m+.

Maybe it’s just me but I take that clip to be, ‘we like him and know him well but he’s not coming back’ Flipping eck, I thought we had no chance of JCH but watching that clip I’m translating it to: “it’s on!”

Agree Nombe at Exeter would represent better value with a sell on possability. Exeter want nearer to £1m for Nombe having turned down offers of £500K, JCH could be worth nearer £500K so could be a relative bargain. I find the whole “Nombe is better value” thing a bit bizarre if I’m honest. Nombe has had one good season, he’s younger yes but that doesn’t guarantee he progresses. Nombe for £1m is a bit of a water take frankly, if it were £500k then fair enough. JCH is a dead cert to score you a promotion winning level of goals.

Disappointed I won't be able to read content from him on there but not surprised in the slightest. The papers an absolute joke. I've emailed the editor several times to tell them as such with regards there blatant bias and never had the courtesy of a reply. Their content all comes from social media they are not in the know in the slightest. You will be able to read his comments in there, as they’ll just lift it from elsewhere anyway like they usually do.

I initially thought the fee for a 29 year old could be spent better. However there is one key point on it that sways me somewhat… Signing JCH guarantees you 20 goals this season, and it would probably be enough for an automatic promotion push. Is the championship worth the £1m+ fee alone, regardless of lack of resale value? Perhaps. Don’t think he’ll score 20 goals this season, don’t think he’s mobile enough. Think the Peterborough chairman is trying to pull our pants down ( again) if we pay anything like he’s reportedly asking . Just my opinion. His last two L1 seasons: 22/23: 26 goals 20/21: 31 goals 20 goals is, imo, pretty pessimistic!

Who cares.
Not the first time that the club has reached this point with Bristol Live.
Their content is littered with ads anyway and the content is clickbait. Not their fault, but that industry is broken.

I'm not sure I'd want us to pay £1m+ for JCH. He would probably bag 20+ goals this season but his best years are behind him and he'd have little or no sell on value. If we really did have that sort of money to spend (which I highly doubt), I agree with those suggesting Nombe would be a better signing. Would be madness to pay £1m for him. 400-500k maximum. I initially thought the fee for a 29 year old could be spent better.

We really are going to have a good go at it this season, aren’t we?

We seriously have to move on Loft - he adds next to nothing. Belshaw has to go - Bad Apple Syndrome and clearly not in the plans Delighted that Evans and now McCormick seem to have found some VaVaVoom - Personally would hang on to Jones. Hoping to see a Striker and DCM (expecting both to be loans) I sensed from JBs words there are only two more expected in. Would prefer Jones go out on a (decent) loan if poss.

Westy, I'm sure his minutes will be managed carefully and Hunt could rotate with Hoole if necessary. Which is probably the perfect deal for us, as it just buys Hoole a year of high competition and development

Joey has assembled a proper side. This is going to be an awesome year.

Wow. What a win. McCormick so deserves that, I’m almost as happy that he got it as I am that we won!

Really think we should have 2nd thoughts about the Fruit Market, Bristol city council will fight tooth and nail to stop it happening, or at the very least do everything in their power to slow the process down Not sure if the question has been asked , but the old airfield at filton is crying out as a site for a new stadium along side the new arena, also it would just creep into South Glos area am sure they would be more forth coming to the project. Hopefully the new owners are aware of the site , it would tick all the boxes , and kiss goodbye to the dismal anti sport Bristol Council Ok, let’s say we do have second thoughts on the fruit market as you suggest… … what do we do instead then?!

Every manager is being afforded more budget than anyone before them, it’s called inflation. This point has been debated a thousand times, plenty have been backed as much pro rata 👍🏾 Inflation is irrelevant as you still only get the same standard of player you just pay more, assuming TW/BG weren't getting totally ripped off JB must be spending nearly twice what they spent looking at the standard of players he's signed. McCormick who cost around £150K could be third choice LCM, if he stays, Connolly who cost around £100K second choice CB and even Wilson could be second choice CH. BG had just Baldwin & Harris as CB's!! The previous managers did spend similar fees to those too mind.

Regardless of who is right or wrong, the fact is it’s fantastic for us as a club that we have a manager who actually calls those out that aren’t right for the project anymore and deals with it. In years gone by, managers frankly didn’t have the balls for it. JB makes mistakes but he tends to remove them from the club as quickly as possible. Under John Ward or Paul Trollope, even DC tbh, we’d be forced to watch those mistakes play out for multiple years. I don’t really care who’s right or wrong, at the end of the day Joey’s job is to build a squad that competes at the top end of the table. I think he’s nailing that atm. At the moment JB is doing no better in L1 than either PT or DC, the signs are promising but we're still only 15th in the league and already knocked out of the league cup. We also still seem to lack a goal scorer like JCH or Lambert who can turn draws into victories. I see far, far more quality in this side than any side assembled by PT or DC. The potential of this side is scary.

Former Wycombe striker Uche Ikpeazu has now left Turkish side Konyaspor and is a free agent after only joining the club last summer.... A very good option for us..... I see nothing about him that would make me want to sign him. Bounced around a good few clubs not breaking the 10 goal mark per year. Mentioned him to a Boro fan mate of mine earlier. He said he’s a handful, a beast, and would probably be out of reach for a L1 side. His guess was he’d join Warnock at Huddersfield.
