Not sure we will be paying transfer fees this summer. to be fair Wael gave the team 100k for the vegas water up so it wouldn't surprise me if he spent a bit on transfer fees.

I got mine on the last of the early bird deal and if I recall correctly 4200 had been sold at that point which I thought was incredible. Anyone know or speculate as to how many ST sales we have. Our family/rovers gang have bought +3 more this year, 2 who have never had ST and 1 junior now needs one as over 11. They've lost money on me as I usually go every game but have done pay on day a lot. I used to reason I miss a few games due to work and family commitments. Now, I miss a lot of work and family commitments :-) Your in the right place buddy.

i really hope millwall are banned from wembley for a long time , in all the years have you ever seen any set of fans kick off in wembley stadium its totally unheard of. how dare they tarnish our national stadium in that way.
Neil Harris also asked millwall fans to create a hostile atmosphere before the game. looks like he got his wish.

Some tarpaulin and a bit of bungie should do it. I've got a pop up Gazeebo the club can borrow. On one condition, Matty Taylor stays. Sounds like a deal, im sure the club will be getting in contact with your advisers shortly.

Does anyone know if the club has any plans to make the away end and part of the dribuild (uncovered standing) sheltered ? Or the uncovered section adjacent to the Blackthorn for that matter. Surely they could rig up a canvas roof from the Dribuild structure and the Blackthorn and floodlight pylon? It it can't be right that people get soaked watching professional football in the 21st century. Some tarpaulin and a bit of bungie should do it.

Why's it a lesson for us, Coventry sold Highfield Rd and moved into a stadium owned by another company, our new stadium will always be owned by the Al-Qadi's? it will be owned by BRFC, wael isnt putting a penny in, its being paid for by investors.

Steve Hamer stated in a interview that any money made from the sale of the mem will go directly into the UWE site.

I suspect the big change will occur when the money for the mem site comes through. My complete guess is that the uwe stadium will be financed independently from the mem sale ,with the £30 million ish going to new player purchases. I'm guessing that it will be hoped that the club are in the championship at that point so the £30m + can when added to the existing squad provide a squad that can push for the premier league. Until then I'm guessing moderate money will be made available through the season to gather a squad capable of a playoff push. Which as DC states is what the aim should be every season. the amount of guess work and pure speculation to come out of this forum over the last few days is incredible.

Just listened to the interview. Hamer comes across well. I wonder who these 'advisors' are that follow DC to every meeting? Lawyers, agents or personal protection? I have visions of a couple of thick-set men in dark suits and shades. One is called Carlos The Cosh; the other Basher Brannigan. Yeah, I thought that too! How many parasites does it take to sign a contract I wonder ffs. It's a shame there are so many involved, trying to get rich off other people's talents, surprised DC needs it but I guess that's just the way it is i suppose it allows DC to concentrate on football and let someone else sort out all the niff naff of a contract negotiation.

Probably the first time ever a big club has come after a player or coach and we've been it the situation to sent them packing. hope Matty T follows suit. This is the second such post I've seen along these lines, and I'm not sure it's as cut and dry as that. DC had some thinking to do on this situation and there are more factors for a young manager to consider over a young player. Leeds are hardly a desirable club for a manger in DCs position aside from maybe the salary and the challenge. The risks outweigh the positives which is unfortunate for Leeds. Even if DC has a mare with us this season, his value will still be decent because of the last 2 seasons. He will attract decent offers. still its good to know that when the big boys come knocking we have the dollar to keep them at bay. im sure having a massive pay rise helped DC in his decision making process.

Slightly different scenario as MT can leave on a free, so the only way to convince him to stay is persuade him that he could still be a Championship in a year or two if he stays, and also meet his wage demands (within reason). still it shows massive intent from the club , under higgs he would of gone so we could pay the bills but were not rag bag rovers anymore and were not going to get bullied.

If you compare him to the tosh we've had down the years he's quality. He works his socks off , can run all day , good passer of the ball and loves the gas . I see where the op is coming from but I think he's well worth his place in the squad .
