The post "understands"
1. The Post is a publication therefore the journalist behind the article is the one who 'understands' not the wider organisation 2. Why doesn't the said journalist qualify his understanding (who or where did he learn of the transfer rumour) 3. I understand that less ' news' is reported in the post now it's becoming obsolete in today's media world. Reporting on gossip is one more nail in a NEWSpaper loss of purpose.

If the FA wanted to strenghen the overall standard (and opportunity) of English players then they'd should restrict the ability of Premiership clubs from stocking English players. Funny how the likes of Vardy et al only flourish when playing competitive club football yet the likes of Nick Powell stagnate in the U21 squads. If a premier league club capped their first team squads then, and had a ceiling on foreign players, then 'English' players would have sufficient opportunity to play first-team football. PLus English players would also consider foreign leagues alongside lower league football as employers.

I hate that saying "all systems go". Just get on with it. I imagine it's probably quite reassuring if you are an astronaut though..... Of if you've had bowel trouble following a dodgy curry!!

Let's also put a bit of perspective in that has Brown not scored that 92nd minute goal against D&R or if Puddy would have been sent off v Grimsby in the play-off signing then DC@s stock would not have been so great. Such fine margins as football are. Convrsely had Gazza poked in the goal against Germany in Euro 96 then Venables would have been held an England great or had Bayern held firm against Man U in the Champions League then Sir Fergie would have been Fergie. If it wasn't for the "Russian" linesman we'd probably be talking about 86 years of hurt, rather than 50, and there'd be no boys of '66 to lionise. However, we're talking about football; it's a game of fine margins, but the better side usually triumphs in the end. So it seems unfair to exclude certain footballing incidents and call it "perspective"; these things all happened, whereas the alternative didn't. So Fergie is Sir Fergie, Terry is just El Tel and Darrell Clarke's managerial stock is rightly as high as its ever been right now. Very true. Fortunately En-ger-land never one a title in the last 20 years therefore we don't have to live with Sir John Terry, Sir Rio Ferdinand or Sir Cashley Cole.

Good points! Conversely, if DC decides to stay and main nucleus of players concur, that sends a huge positive message in waves throughout the club and possibly division3.. I'm surprised clubs took this long to come in for him. Leeds are THE sleeping giant but how the club is run is a joke and Washington has stability at brfc. And money!!

same could happen at rovers if he stays though True. Not as likely, though. It depends whether you're in it for the long term or a quick thrill. Nothing wrong with a quick thrill if he fancies it, but I hope he doesn't for both our sakes. One thing is certain and that is DC holds a strong hand right now. He'd be well advised to learn from Chancer Redknapp's mistakes in trying to utilize a potential job (England) as bargaining power for a new contract at his present club (spurs) and ending up pissing off both then managing Jordan. Whatever happens, I just up our owners never employ, consult or touch Redknapp in any capacity.

Personally if he does go I'd be happy with one of Mikey Harris or Danny Cowley (yes I know Cowley has just gone to Lincoln). What about Stewy?
Stewart or Harris are potential 'continuity' appointments

If all clubs in the top three divisions (total of 66 clubs) release an average of ten professionals each season then that's 660 players wanting to find a new club. Then factor in players already contracted to clubs (in the UK), in addition to players already without a contract for the previous season, then there's a massive pool to sift through.

I've always enjoyed reading his review, usually on the toilet at 8am Monday morning. From start to end is usually the same period from start to end...

Another poetic end to the season. s**theads jealous of a moral club with happy fans and an identity.
That's it, I need not say anything more.

Well I'm off to bed shortly so I can get back up at 2:00am to listen in. See you at kick off time. COYB!!! I'm in Manly, Sydney and strategically due to fake an illness so I can go home and tune into the scores from midnight. If we end up in the play offs u still think this season has surpassed expectations but who knows!!!

With all the value behind our owners' then it's not the same circumstance as perhaps Agogo and Lambert's contractual renewal. Personally, I think the guy has showed all doubters, myself included, with a fantastic season and the club have received a greater return of investment for the contract he signed.
What a great story for Matt and I hope he continues his upward path wherever he ends up.

Definitely bad taste. For a club to have such a motivated and together squad in this predicament is testament to how it's being managed. They all should be offered deals if we go up but also know performance will gauge their longer term employment. I'd keep Harrison, he's got something and may do better in league 1 football. Leicester shows that consistency and team ethic can bring success

I see Michael is due to debut today against Slovenia. Do Rovers get any money for an international cap?

They're missing out on a potential earner there with all the ex-pat Gasheads out there I'd happily pay to watch the games online and these days it's not that technically difficult or expensive to do. More likely the pervasive "rights" issues get in the way. Me too. In sure there will be Arabs wanting to also tune in. There are a few of us in oz that would happily pay instead of watching MKR.

Wycombe just equalised v Accy. A draw would be a good result.
