[Dare to dream!]

f**king again rovers!

You couldnt write this.

[the vicar]

Yes you could shit budget and paul goodwin says out of contract players wont play tonight

[graingrover]

I understand he was very disappointing in Portugal and that de Val  and Middleton ran rings around  him. 

[mrfrostsdad]

Is there any truth in the Twitter stuff that a budget has not been agreed between Dickov and the board?

Unless I'm missing something won't he be cutting it a bit fine to get to Grimsby?...

The last player to blag a freebie to Portugal and sign for Barnsley ended up a pile of dog shite :-)

7pm kick off and we still haven't had any team news

[Copps is Magic]

Team sheet is up on twitter.

Just seen, Liam Hoden tweeted. Tyson there again

[DonnyOsmond]

This season's gonna be depressing.

[steve@dcfd]

No Richie in either eleven and he is a contract player

[Copps is Magic]

A) Is Dickov really in a position to be challenging budgets and delaying things further? He should have gone last season.

B) James Bailey can go **** himself. Dingle scum. Did we give him a free trip to Portugal?

C) Surely what is happening is that JR/LT had contract offers/informal agreements lined up and now the current regime want to renegotiate them

D) I'm not knee-jerking beyond that at this point.

[Jonathan]

Not overly fussed on Bailey.

However (and irrespective of all the drawn out arguments about why) you look at our squad tonight and there's a lot of hard work to do.

To be a couple of weeks from the season with no goalkeeper, no contract renewals, no signings and still more talk of who's leaving than who's coming in - nobody could have envisaged this in their worst nightmare!

I feel sorry for Dickov and, removing all the takeover madness from the equation, from a football club perspective it's just a hideous predicament. The club needs a boost, and fast!

[Donnyrovers]

Sick of pre seasons like this until there is vast improvements I won't be spending my money at the club.

That won't help anyone!

[steve@dcfd]

Not a Dickov fan but if had gone we would  not have a
Manager as well the laughing stock  continues but as some have said it does matter as long we can put eleven players on the field.

His choice and if this farce continues there will be more doing the same.

[Lipsy]

It could be worse: considering that JR's promises of an inflated budget were seemingly based on a fine harvest from the magic money tree, where was all this money going to come from to pay for it all?

Ideal it is not, but the situation could have been worse. Much worse.

[DonnyOsmond]

After pinching James Bailey from under Doncaster's nose I'm told #barnsleyfc also monitoring #drfc trialists Peter Clarke & Ben Williams

[mrfrostsdad]

I don't think it could be any worse.
If Wellens and Coppinger go as well, I would say we're totally and utterly Donald Ducked

[Donnyrovers]

We will lose Peter Clarke and he will be a massive loss, you won't get many better centre backs for this league available on a free transfer like him. Just over 2weeks before the first game of the season and that's the f**king team we are fielding tonight in the friendly. These are the opportunities you use to build partnerships for next season and develop as a team instead at this rate we will be fielding u13's at Yeovil. Other clubs will be looking at our players and they will get some bargains.

[GazLaz]

JR was in charge for a lot of years and never had the club in financial trouble so why would he have started now? It looks like the budget will be pathetic this season. People talk about Ryan being skint, TB might as well be if he's not putting anything in. At least with the take over we had one potential super rich kid who wanted to put money into the club. Fair enough if TB just wants the club to run itself, it belongs to him, he can do has he pleases, but don't be going on about having a competitive promotion budget because unless he puts his own money in we won't.

[dknward2]

Team full of youth and rob jones always believe

[PDX_Rover]

No need to panic.

If JR hadn't made a ridiculous bid to gain control of the club at the time he did, the budget would have been in place by now and players signed, how you can put the blame at TB's door is beyond me!

[glosterred]

Can we really blame Bailey for going to the Dingles - he has waited around on the off chance/promise of getting a contract. With the takeover off and still no budget agreed there must come a time when he has to look after himself and therefore someone has offered him a contract he has taken it.
