Although it might work in TRFCs favour if the wealthy Americans do takeover, but we drop out of the FL, I have reservations. If the NL commit to similar financial control as operates in the FL, I would be more supportive.
Thanks. I loved going to your old Belle Vue ground particularly if a Friday night game, but the fans mood as that pair were running your club is the closest I can recall as a fan to how Tranmere supporters are feeling now.
I agree regarding the signings, quite surprised we recruited anybody, even if just a couple of young kids. Sometimes they can be decent, like Rob Apter last season, usually not. We've been told by Mark Palios that right up against the salary cap with summer signings, so unlikely we'll be able to...
Two Man Utd kids on loan Louis Jackson central defender, Sam Mather left-winger. Occasionally you get lucky with youngsters, can only hope. However with Rovers’ dismal scoring record, failing to bring in any kind of forward, even an untried youngster, probably seals our fate.
I am responding to both EnglishRed and Optipez in this thread due to the technical problem raised in the last post.
With reference to Mark Palios the guess is that he hasn't got the funds to pay Adkins off. There is some scepticism about this as he could pay him off with his personal wealth if...
If this actually happened as described then I totally agree. However there seems to be some dispute about exactly what did take place after the game involving Josh Davison.
You and other Dons fans on here who warned about Davison have been proved right, though it's only recently that the size of his wage has come to light. All down to Adkins who'd worked with him previously at Charlton and thought he was what was needed.
Something of a Perfect Storm brewing at Tranmere.
Adkins is clueless, clearly lost the dressing room but will only go if he gets the pay-off for the remaining 2+ years of his contract.
Takeover, if it happens at all won't take place until the end of the first financial quarter by which time it...
Rovers totally overwhelmed by a Colchester team who secured their first win on Wirral in 15 or so years. Weird starting line-up and strange substitutions from Adkins. Almost the only thing he got right was subbing the toxic Sam Finley who was jeered off the pitch and went straight down the...
Inept from Rovers, it will be a travesty if Adkins keeps his job after today. I did think we were unlucky with the early penalty as it looked like a foul on a Rovers player in the build-up, but thereafter we offered little and a string of puzzling substitutions from the manager achieved little...
New loanee only on the bench, young midfielder recalled from Southport doesn’t even get that far. The Cowley’s have done quite well at PP with previous clubs. Not hopeful but we’ll see…
Rovers finally make a signing, Scouser Jake Garrett, young defensive midfielder on loan from Blackburn. He spent the first half of the season at the Brizzle Rovers but got very little game time, though seems to be well rated by his parent club. Maybe he'll do better closer to his home patch...
Rovers home to Colchester and my first chance to see us live this year. Two suspended after the Swindon debacle two long term injuries and a couple of unspecified injuries too. We've had to bring youngster Josh Williams back from Southport, just a couple of days after extending his loan with a...
Fair play to him he admitted as much in the post-match interview, when he came across as honest accepting he’d not had a good season and I actually warmed to him.
Post-match interviews were interesting. Holloway saying Rovers were dirty, wasn’t sure how fair that was? Adkins who sounds a...
Been a bit of a disappointment defensively though better going forward. Given the Milton Keynes fans generally seem in accord with your view that Norman was decent enough must be our inept management dragging him down.
Rovers don't do well at Swindon even when in decent form and we certainly aren't in that at present. Khan won't be available against his parent club and Morris seems to have picked up another injury, so midfield shuffle inevitable.
With Grimsby signing Darragh Burns, TRFC are the only FL2 club not to make a signing so far this window. Not many signs that will change in the next few days.
