pongo88 Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 To sell a football club you must first find a buyer. Nick Higgs pulled a fast one to sell Rovers to Wael on the basis of a watertight contract with Sainsburys. Now that has gone, who would buy Rovers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septic Peg Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) Rovers sign a fella from Oxford for undisclosed fee... https://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/2017/may/signingliamsercombe/ Waiting for some clued up gasheads to say he was £1m but actually more like £100,000. Edit: rumour is he had a massive row with Appleton ala Tomlin/LJ and was kept out the last 2 games. Bit of a attitude too and had a few red cards in the past. Hope Dopey got his kid gloves on!

Not sure what the injury was kept him out for a while, don't care enough to check any further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they have money from that cup game away at Chelsea (you know Chelsea, they can call Wally one of their supporters)... Now, if we take Taylor at 300k and possibly a similar amount from the cup game you get a figure of - 600k But if we remember they lost a million last year, that means they are still down to the tune of 400k. Still no sign of Wally investing then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanjita Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 5 hours ago, Rudolf Hucker said: If a team has won the FA Cup then they are permitted to have triangular corner flags so that their achievement is never forgotten. Everyone else has to put up with square ones. If the artist's impression of the new ground is accurate, as I've no doubt it is, then it's clear that the 15'ers plan to win the FA Cup before they move into their new ground. I think that's probably a realistic expectation. Ha,ha, "Twin Town" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 so the lad was out of contract and rovers have signed him, but Oxford have activated a clause so now rovers have to pay a fee, sounds like Taylor, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 I assumed the quote that Wael referred to was "lies damned lies and statistics" . Maybe he has something against statistics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreedyHarry Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 I'm a bit confused. I thought the transfer window didn't open until July. That might be wrong, but if not, how can you pay a transfer fee for somebody to transfer clubs if the window is not open? I could be being very stupid.

If it was, I rarely read stuff about what/maybe/shoulda/coulda happen. If we get a ground we do, if we don't we don't. It won't affect my support for the club. And so say all of us. In reality, we all support our club, come what may. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
