Well with the Rice deal appearing to be finally over the line between Arsenal and West Ham, hopefully the "reported" interest in Scott from the Hammers will either turn into something a bit more solid, or they will move onto other options. The next week or so should be a but more illuminating than the previous social media nonsense.

Or Idehen, Kadji either. Too many players in front of them now.

Of which Tent/stand??

So given the determination date is 3 weeks after the start of the season and they haven't even started building it yet, where are they going to put all the supporters that have bought ST's in this non-existent stand???

Is that the same Simon Csoka KC who represented Barton in his two trials? The club certainly keep him busy. No doubt he'll now be employed for a certain centre forward at the club who is in Court next week as well?

A brand new logo for the fever pitch team, just like the Robin one??. Ah, no. I remember this one from our programmes back in the 70/80s Top left there. Another rehash...

Dave Partridge, Steve Brooker and Bradley Orr wasn't it? https://www.theguardian.com/football/2006/sep/01/newsstory.sport17 Public order offences rather than assaulting a female though I think. Nothing comes near the level of David Pipe though. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/footballer-david-pipe-charged-gbh-2066062 Footballers will always get into some kind of trouble. The difference is, all of these were already players. Not sure we would sign a player though who is currently due to have a court case next month.

So he was suspended by Exeter whilst awaiting trial. Then when he pleaded guilty to assaulting the woman he was sacked. Even though he's on trial for a 2nd assault, Rovers feel that this is a signing worthy of their reputation as a family club. I'm guessing the #metoo brigade at the club are 100% in agreement as well. I'm sure I called this transfer a few months ago (There are better people than me on this forum that can do a proper check). But hoped in my heart (rather than head) that Rovers would do the right thing of course.

Not sure even the Gas can put a positive spin on that photo. The season starts in 40 or so days!!!

God knows who they are looking at. But judging by the fact that resigned 4 players. One of who was out all season, another who came in Jan (after injuries, and no-one else was interested). Greenslade hardly made made an impression at a team that finished rock bottom of the conference South. Ryan Jones is another youngster they got from WSM. It's the equivalent of us including all the under 18s and under 21s that have new contracts as new signings for us alongside Dickie, McCrorie and Roberts. Hardly representative of first team squad development. Have the gas actually got grass on their pitch yet, or is it still sand? Their website still shows the first team squad as consisting of all their loan players from last season, as well as players like Coutts (shown as their captain) and Anderson. It really is beyond comprehension.

Is Wael also fully supportive of paying for a new South Stand or does he want to take out a high interest loan to pay for it?? Why does this "Hugely Wealthy Chairman" have to be stopped by Barton from spending too much money on players?. Whilst at the same time expecting someone else to build a new stadium for the club, other than the current owners? I just don't get it that no-one actually challenges this rhetoric that he's some sort of financial saviour. They pay peanuts in wages, never go above 200k in transfer fees, no academy, and a stadium that is literally falling down. Yet every season the 12 free transfers, and magical loans ,(Quansah described as future England material, if only he could cut out the mistakes...?) will hopefully take them into the playoffs It really doesn't all add up does it?

I used to look at his goals and assists as a matter of concern. Last season, i started to take note of quite how many "assist to the assist " Scott actually gets. He's the player in our system that gets the ball out quickly from under his feet and gets us moving forward. Whether it's to Weimann/Wells on the right or Pring or Bell on the left, you can bet your bottom dollar that Scott will be involved in the build up somewhere to our goals. So yes, the goals and assists stats don't always do justice to quite how impactful a player can be in midfield. Doesn't take away of course that as NP has stated we need more goals from our midfield full stop.

Agreed. Also Simms for Sunderland had a fantastic game against us at the gate. Leading the line in a way in which you rarely see nowadays.

Have to say I'm really impressed by Vince Harper over this. He looked like a promising youngster for us, who was let go rather surprisingly. He dropped down to non league with Chippenham, and could easily have played out his career at that level. But he obviously took the City rejection by City as impetus for his determination to get back into the football league. Firstly by getting that contract with Eastleigh in the Conference, and now of course Exeter in L1. Not many City youngsters make it back into the EFL after being released. Fair play Vince ?

They've done it with Golf. Not surprised it's carrying over into Football. As for Arsenal, they sold their soul a bit already with thr "visit Rwanda " sponsorship for me. One of the most corrupt regimes in Africa. Hence why the Govt is sending people there ?

So being a scouser and working at Fleetwood also now seems to be a prerequisite for getting a job at Rovers as well as playing there. Is Barton some sort of charity for lonesome scousers who found themselves against their will, stuck on the Lancashire coast?

God that must have been at least 15 years ago now? Sometimes these things come back just to put a smile on your face again ?

Going to be a massive sell on clause in the deal isn't there. If he does well in L1, and gets that sort of move then it will be a good bit of business. I think this works well for all parties, I can't see him getting any game time at all with us this year.

Amazed in a way that he's signed so early in the window for Burton!!!! You would have imagined better offers perhaps from a top L1 team at least?

The same people that said Cardiff were "going for it" no doubt. Somewhat difficult when you're under a transfer fee embargo in their case. I have no doubt that Weds will have to improve their team. It is full of 30+ somethings, plus a large number that have no experience of playing at L1 level. A big job, and probably playing some part in Darren Moore leaving.

It's clear that Wael thinks Barton walks on water. So has allowed him to basically bring his mates into every key position in the club, whether they are able to do the job or not. What other Chairman would allow a manager that not only had 1 crown court trial, but two, to carry on. Every other manager facing that would have been on gardening leave. I know he got off both cases (by various means), but that's not the point is it? I know there's normally a bit of nepotism in every club ( Look no further than our current chairman), but the CEO being Barton's mate as well is not the best in any shape or form. NP has said that sometimes at clubs you have to have really difficult conversations, where things are challenged. This cabal of scousers are not great for Rovers in the medium to long term for sure.

I'm guessing the well of scousers that used to play for Fleetwood is starting to run dry after 3 seasons.

Instead of Tom Thick?

Not too sure there are many parallels between Rovers and Brentford though....??
