Then we're doomed Swiss. No two ways about it if WAQ is like that. Well I’m often seen as a doom merchant Bas But I think you can already see the confrontation coming and a B*****/McKay axis will make mincemeat of a Widdrington/Starnes alliance. The answer to that will be “ why not, we would be replacing losers with winners”. But we should be under no illusions that yes, compared to what we have now JB and WM might be classed as winners, but they are winners for themselves and not necessarily for a team. So in bringing them in Wael is gambling that while Rovers might gain some benefit as a spin off from their involvement what is highly likely, IMO, is that whatever happens they will drain him of his remaining funds. And what he doesn't seem to have taken into account is that the sort of people Wael seems to like to try to impress and court attention from are going to make excuses and suddenly realise that they have important calls to make rather than spend a few minutes chatting with him. This is a ridiculous appointment, fated to end in tears. But hey, I'm sure that Wael, being a shrewd businessman, has taken a close look at the financial cost of each League point that Mr Punchy won for Fleetwood, so that side of things will be fully under control.

A quick google of willie McKay does not make good reading. Forgot he was heavily involved in the unfortunately Sala transfer. Cosying up to JB and WM would not be a good indication of the level of integrity running through the club.

I described this Rovers chapter to someone as a as a powder keg Swiss. Hitler use to just toss ideas in the general direction of his generals and let them squabble amongst themselves.Survival of the fittest sort of thing.So your money is on the new boys to win through.Well if they're not going to work together,some resignations are needed. Not saying WAQ is like Adolf mind. I wish I knew just how much £s WAQ has and how much he has coming in. Edit.The signing of Paddy Madden from Fleetwood would be a good start and imo see us stay 3rd tier. I just hope WAQ knows how much he has and how much he has coming in. And that’s not entirely a joke !

Ironically could well be jailed at the same time as B***** so some respite for the Blackadder and Baldrick alliance for some time at least

He was behind the hiring of the plane iirc He’s also banned, bankrupt and going to jail 🤞 “A key part of the negotiations that have taken place since B***** visited Bristol last Tuesday, which at several points almost led the club to explore other avenues, was his willingness to bring in his own people and a reluctance to work within an organisation where another individual heads up the recruitment.” www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/joey-B*****-bristol-rovers-manager-5029566.amp?__twitter_impression=true

Swiss, where is the McKay link? You mentioned this before B***** and in regards to Ledley I believe... how/why do you think he has some influence?
Bas, Madden won’t be coming. We can only sign players out of contract who had their contracts cancelled before the transfer window shut.

Sounds like Wael had to chase him and give him what he wanted according to Bristol Live. This would have cost BRFC a fair sum with all the conditions imposed by JB, Wael must think it worthy even with the unfinished business surrounding our new incumbent.

We can only sign players out of contract who had their contracts cancelled before the transfer window shut. After the end of January we can sign players on pre contracts for next season if they are out of contract with their current clubs at the end of the season. B***** will be managing at least one Tisdale signing next season if he isn't in Jail (B***** not the player)

Oh I see,players that have their contracts cancelled after the window closes cannot sign for other clubs. We use to loan sign players in February I think.That not allowed now?

The loan window ended a few years back.

You’ve mentioned this player a couple of times... reckon he’ll have second thoughts considering there may be about 4 different managers between when he signed and when he arrives? Is he any good?
