Bang on with your info 👏

Quoted from Heswall Mariner

If poster Alan Buckley is the real Alan Buckley (I have reservations on that one) then there is no argument - he knows stuff that we don't.
He may now be the club allocated voice on here?
Anyway from what I think I understand is that if an interested club meet the agreed release valuation then we have no option but to accept their offer & its then between the player & his agent as to whether to move on.

Quoted from Maringer

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.

Quoted from Nelly GTFC

Yeah just bitter as a lemon at losing a player with decent potential. I was surprised when I started reading up on them, looks like Rovers have got some financial backing >> https://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/2023/august/club-statement-new-ownership/  Just been looking at their historical attendances, they used to get decent attendances back in the 1950s, glad there isn't no bigger club in Grimsby.

Handy website this for looking at attendance history >> https://european-football-statistics.co.uk/england.htm

Quoted from sam gy

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 Mappers

Always liked Bristol Rovers as a club tbf pretty similiar to us having their heartbreaks and in size with a unique old style stadium ; although it looks like they are growing their's , wish them well if they have big backing financially (and give us some)  to move through the gears . Won't forget that play-off final  with their  keeper though !
