Just splashed out 500k on a midfielder.Smaller gates than us, wonder why we can't follow suit?
There'd be plenty of criticism on here if we spent 500k on a non-league player. And rightly so.
Desperate roll of the dice by a desperate manager Probably spending the Toney fee before he’s gone.Would much rather have our board than the knob who runs Peterborough

What level a player plays at is irrelevant to an extent. If they are good, they are good. They obviously think they are signing a championship player.

They obviously think they are signing a championship player. Sure, I get that. But people would definitely be complaining on here and Twitter if we spent that much money on someone relatively unknown who plays for Barnet. How many times have we paid 500k plus in our history on a player? It must be less than 5.I'm just so, so tired of people finding any reason, even ones that have nothing to do with Rovers, to have a dig or moan about the club.

Not sure anything between Sharp though until you get down to these lot.
They have put a 13m price tag on tony and they will prob get it , u can’t knock there business model them make loads from transfers
I assume their model is they invest in young talented players, with a good sense of knowledge that they will earn money on them. Similar to what we did with sharp, We also spent money outside of the budget for whiteman because we had good knowledge that we would eventually make money.
Not done them much good mind. They have never done more than a single season in the Championship and aside from when Ferguson got us relegated to League Two, they have barely ever been in a higher league than us in recent memory. They might have made money but they are cack.
