Quoted from MaccasBoots

I think it means from Rovers' perspective, not ours

Rovers transfer record is 450K and that was in 92/93

Quoted from pontoonlew

Those people confidently stated it was 250k and it looks as if that figure was miles off the mark

I said I didn’t know first hand and could be wrong, but was what I had heard.

What you say is correct only if the 250k figure didn’t include allowance for sell on to ‘Boro and what we paid for him. 375 would be about the right figure for that. Which I did say might be the case - or just as likely might not! As the truth is none of will know the details.  

Quoted from Northbank Mariner

Is Bogle our record?..muted we got 1.1m for him at the time.

Andy Tilson was their Transfer Record (370-400k) so that will be what they are talking about!!

Might get slated for this, but for a player who cost us nothing  - getting nearly 500k or whatever for him (plus a decent sell on) is not the worst bit of business, if we can use that to bring in a handful of decent players to improve the squad overall (maybe not in Jan, but in the summer too)

He is, of course, technically a brilliant player...better than our level and lovely to watch - but has he made us a better team? Has he truly stamped his authority on games? I don't think so, to be honest.

Quoted from Nelly GTFC

Rovers are about as tinpot as Grimsby are, certainly no Bristol City.... oh well League One, living the dream.

Their majority owner is reportedly worth half a billion. His small change is enough to remove any sort of a tinpot tag around them.

If Conteh goes, I'd imagine we'll have a sell-on clause ourself as he could well end up moving to a Championship club and earning us a few more quid.

If this goes through it could fund a couple of experienced players to bolster the back 4 and midfield. Two older heads wouldn't go amiss right now.

Some reports suggest JS got £495 million for his match dot com shares. Not sure if that was ever verified from a reliable source or was just social media crap. Anyone know?

I might take a battering here but I would bite your hand off for 500k and a decent sell on - I actually don't think his games suited to league 2 or the standard of player he's playing with and it could well be good business for all if Bristol Rovers have the players to compliment his game ; enjoyed watching him play especially earlier in the season when Hurst tried to play through him which seemed to get scrapped at the first sign of trouble .

See what happens

That was for the sale of the business I think Ron , which would have a number of  shareholders I assume so he would have got a small % of that you would have thought , he did well as CEO I believe and the same with Simply Business which I assume he's still involved at to some degree .
