Brann-red Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) I thoroughly enjoyed watching the optimism turn into disbelief- my favourite moment was the below when you had “ITK” posters saying to be calm and composed and then a reality hitting home that in fact all was not calm and they’d failed to do the paperwork . a very amusing end to the day .. couldn’t happen to a nicer club .

Numero Uno Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 6 hours ago, Selred said: JCH has won the golden boot the last 2 seasons he’s played in league one. That is the definition of a top league one striker. Yes we’ve signed international players, but that doesn’t make them top championship players (Magnússon prime example). Like I’ve said, you could argue Naismith (Luton player of the season) and Kalas is a shout (promotion with Fulham/Boro). JCH would walk into all, or at least most, of league one teams. For that division it’s massive. What you and @formerly known as ivanhave spectacularly failed to recognise is that for us to pull of the equivalent transfer as the one that Rovers have just failed to achieve (by design to appear ambitious?) is that not only do you need £15m (yes we have that) you also have to pay £40k per week wages. A club at the top of its wage budget. For clarity £10-£15m players do not play for £7-£15k per week which is where the majority of our wage budget stands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 Wonder if they made the mistake of faxing their planning application to Peterborough, and their offer for JCH to the Green party. The greens probably now think that they have been offered a triple Tilson to withdraw their objection. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gert Mare Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) The Tillson lives on. If anyone is interested in renting a property in Portishead I know a guy who has literally just put one up for rent due to totally Tinpot circumstances. £800k signing would have deflected the supporters of everyone’s favourite second club away from the South Stand circus and the non existent progression of the Fruitihad Stadium. I spoke to a Sag yesterday about the building site and his words were ‘Totally Tinpot and Embarrassing’. That made my day in itself. The failure to submit the paperwork for the JCH deal on time put the cherry on top of the well iced cake. The gift train to oblivion keeps on rolling with Dad’s Army onboard. TINPOT!

cidercity1987 Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 Least surprising news to wake up ever Just when my faith in Steve Lansdowns Bristol City was at a record low, along come Rovers as usual to remind me my choice of team 25 years ago wasn't so bad after all Absolute loons submitting it so late when it's been rumoured all summer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 So has this all been confirmed as actually happening? I would say in no world would a professional club bid for a player whilst more than doubling their own transfer record, fail to complete and send off the paperwork in time for the transfer to be completed - but then I remember who we're talking about!!! At least nobody will be talking about their incomplete planning permission for the new meccano set for a while..... This does smell like Wally pulling a stunt to get the gullible few back on side whilst having no intention of ever completing the deal in the first place..... 7 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any professional outfit would have ensured that all paperwork that was able to be complete was filled in hours before and if no move materialised you just chuck it away. All it should have needed was the final information and signatures by 9:30pm last night when McAntony tweeted that he had given the parties permission to finalise the deal. You would have thought 90 minutes to finalise terms and signatures given this circus has been going on for days, and Rovers would have spoken to JCH whatever the protocls say, would have been plenty. Wael is either totally incompetent or has the tent enders on strings..........wonder what Joseph thinks - just been given his Get Out Of Jail Free card I would have thought....................I just realise what I wrote there!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you fail to recognise was at no point did I say we should pay the equivalent of what rovers were prepared to pay for a proven goal scorer. I was merely stating the fact that people were mocking rovers for trying to sign JCH which showed more ambition from them than our owners have showed. No where did I say we should be signing anyone for £15m! Christ, a loan deal for a striker would have been something! But no, SL doesn’t want to spend money on the football club. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
