Rovers thread

Dragging their name further through the mud, women beaters, sexist pigs, conspiracy theories, promoting his own ‘business’ whilst ‘committed’ Gas manager, sending their wage bill sky high, signing players with 0 resale value, all whilst keeping Rovers in the bottom 3rd of the league, please don’t sack him!

How do a couple of aging (late 20s) Bristolian Londoners join?

Just after their new signing has been charged with two counts of assault on women, Barton quotes the Carlson Tate interview, is he actually looking for attention now? For context if you don’t know who Tate is. ”Tucker Carlson jetted off to Romania to join Andrew Tate for a sit-down chat at his home on the outskirts of Bucharest, where the influencer remains under house arrest. Last month, the 36-year-old king of toxic masculinity was charged with rape, human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to exploit women.”

RIP

Just clickbait nonsense, shows the level of knowledge they have, and the lack of any respect/belief for their own craft/skill that they stoop that low, laughable really.

I do generally agree with your post but Bournemouth just signed a player for 12m and loaned him straight out, albeit to their sister club.

You’ve said that 25m is what we’d accept, which isn’t accurate, there is no set price. I agree that someone won’t bid more than an accepted bid, but that’s not relevant to your initial comment(?) maybe I’ve missed a post..(?)

We won’t accept a bid when we believe we can get more money elsewhere, it really is that basic.

You haven’t seemed to read the quote from Lansdown which states £25m was never the set price. Additionally, people will offer under 25m, 100%, so the analogy falls apart.

Do you not think that this is a possibility then? Again, I have no formal experience, but for example let’s say Tottenham are willing to spend up to 28m on Scott, and Bournemouth 26m, we’ve told them both to secure this player you must pay 30m, we’re open to offers, they both come in with offers of 20m, we inform both clubs that another club has bid the same amount and to secure the transfer you must pay more, each club is willing to pay more as they already have their maximum amount set and they’re both well under it, they then make additional bids etc etc. City would be at risk of a club potentially pulling out, but that is always the case, once one team has hit their limit then they simply won’t bid, or will say this is our final offer, and the other team may, or may not, offer more. We would, probably, get a larger sum than trying to call the bluff of an individual team. OR, maybe this is fanciful and not how the real word works.

Agreed, the Lansdown comment I quoted was to more so show that there isn't an exact price set, I wouldn't be surprised to see him go for under £25m, although I'd hope not.

Concrete + bids in the pipeline /=/ we're confident that x team will put a bid in for y price. I'm no expert in transfer negotiations but for Mr Lansdown to mention "supply and demand" it seems, to me at least, to suggest that clubs will compete with each other, and offer more money. With some reconciliation, I do agree that it won't be a 'bidding war' or an 'auction', as in, several clubs won't keep trying to outbid each other, with City accepting bids, but I believe that we will reject offers, potentially even over 25m, if we believe we can get more elsewhere.

No mention of Rovers in his bio (can you actually blame him?), has added England though.. with his 1 cap

Lansdown added: "We've quoted £25m in the past, I really don't know where it goes. It's supply and demand, isn't it? If there are lots of clubs interested in him, then the value goes up. source We haven't set 25m as our price, so we could easily reject 25 million if we know there are concrete bids in the pipeline from multiple clubs.

If Spurs came in for the same money, he’d obviously go to Spurs, so Bournemouth could then offer 27, 28, 30m, hence starting a bidding war.

The more spent the more take home in commi$$ion

Literally anyone can edit Wikipedia

They really are exceptional "There is one thing that has been overlooked in the report it said the argument started with the doormen and then the women got involved. If the women hadn't got involved none of this would have happened I think there's a lot more to this than meets the eye."

I know what I think

whataboutism

“Not defending him but think people are overlooking the part where she has pulled his hair after he'd spat but before he slaps her. He doesn't deserve to be kicked out of football for the offence committed so we move on and let him rehabilitate. If it happens again it's game over for him.” Absolutely mental club, happens again? That’s two guilty pleases in 3 months.
