Can't see you having enough space on the cap for Finch and Lima... maybe not even one of them (depending on whether or not your cost cutting exercise is true)

Well you give us a breakdown on what we are paying everyone and then we will know for sure

Possibly, but there is Cooke's wages too. Walker will have commanded a big wage when he joined. At the moment we only have one quota spot, in any case.
We need, IMO, 1 back (Colbon ideally, but there are others fed-trained and ooc if he goes elsewhere), 1 halfback (going to need the quota spot, I think) and 1 forward (numerous options, including Walker).

I think the board are intending to spend close to the cap again (looking in from the outside) - but it is also possible there will be some departures we haven't anticipated.

I said "I can't see you having" rather than "You won't have". If you can afford two top-class overseas players after releasing only 4 fringe first teamers I'd be very suprised especially with the strength of the pound against the Aussie dollar.

As said above, Cooke would of been on a fair bit. So would Walker (vastly reduced terms surely for next season)
Neither are/were "fringe" players.

Cooke was our top earner and I use the word earner very loosely

Wasn't paid anywhere near what finch would want. I reckon at least 3 of your overseas players earn more than cooke did

Reckon all you want

well according to the sun paper rovers are going to rock the super league if the deal comes of with finch app rovers will know by today if it is a done deal................ so watch this space cud ave sum gud or bad news by monday. Justin Morgan wants to bring the best players here so we can compete with the best and i do believe getting the squad rite for next season we cud do that. Finch is an awesome player as is Lima and they are under 30 which is always a gud start...

Sorry if it's already been mentioned but in The Sun today it say's you look favourite to sign him and a deal is in place.

He's a very good player, but in what way would it "rock" the entire competition? How many international caps does he have?

Is he a fatty or is he really good on the guitar?

As many as Matt Orford

Pinch of salt and all that.

Where still paying half of Cooke, Fozzard and we've paid pretty much all of Mills wages this season. Now thats close to 135k for 3 players not even playing in a Rovers shirt. Add this to the player that won't be here next season. Galea and Webster on slightly reduced deals. I reckon rovers have close to 300k to spend.

quota not count then?

Even woth £300k I doubt you could afford finch and lima

How much are they asking for?

£301k

were not paying for cookie he as bin released rovers paid him 20 grand for him to walk if he didnt accept that they said fine sit in the side lines, waki paying 50 grand of his wages this rest of the year, fozzard was released free of charge so just mills to pay half towards rest paid by quins at present........ and we will get finch .

I don't know what their asking for but players of their ability are earning between $200,000 and $300,000.

I'll take your word for it, although we all know Finch isn't.

At the end of the day if we have the space to accomodate them then they either fit under budget or they don't come. I don't see a massive queue of clubs in for them both though so thats obviously works in our favour

Oh you are a silly sausage Mr. Peg.



Other people have asked you and I have absolutely no authority to add my name to the list, but, please, is there any way you could knock just a little bit of the text speak on the head? You're making some quite interesting posts, but they're getting a bit lost because it's quite difficult to decipher what you're saying.

blimey a lot of people know a lot about rovers finances on hear don't they

Well we all know that you're skint and haemorrhaging money at an amusing rate !!



I hope that you can get Finch and Lima for a couple of seasons. It will just accelerate your demise. I'm sure Grudgehull will be happy as long as you win a couple more derbies along the way !!
