Bristol City

[Dare to dream!]

Agreed a 6m fee with Palace for Dwight Gale. That's outrageous! I'm sure I saw Cotterill moaning about how expensive players were at the weekend

[southwestexile]

Let's just hope they're heading down as we go up

[Danmckay456]

It's showing a bit of ambition - I admit it's a bit overpriced but he's dropping down from the premiership that puts a strikers price up for a start

[GazLaz]

He will be quality in that division. Still young as well.

[bpoolrover]

It's more than showing ambition which is fine as long as the chairman does not want the money back

[MrWoodySir]

They only have 16 players.

Panick buying.

[steve@dcfd]

Well done to Bristol City is their owner A Russian Billionaires?

[roversdude]

Cotterill didn't look happy on fl show going on about not having a good summer
Bless

[Rovers91]

He will score for fun in that league quality signing.

No, he's a very successful businessman who is committed to Bristol sport. Think "Club Doncaster" but with a guy who is SOOOO willing to put his cash down that it brings tears to your eyes.

[BillyStubbsTears]

He will score for fun in that league quality signing.

Aye. Just like Ross McCormack.

£11m. 17 goals in 44 league starts for Fulham. That's about the same goals/start ratio as Paul Heffernan had in the Championship. And Hefferman goals were a bit cheaper than the thick end of £750k each.

Those prices are utterly divorced from any semblance of reality.

[acko]

why should rovers supporters concern theirselfs with what Bristol spend,6mill is what teams get I beleave so they spend it on a player what did rovers do with theirs apart from buying a rugby team

[eastender]

Strong team out and getting licked 3-0 at Luton, Cotterill will not be happy

[Rovers91]

Ross McCormack was over priced but he's not playing as an out and out striker at Fulham so his return isn't that bad.

Why should a hull city fan concern themselves with what Doncaster rovers spend?

[Sammy Chung was King]

Six million for Gayle, they want to get him in a taxi as quick as they can, they have robbed Palace.

The Rovers never bought a rugby team. How many times do you have to be corrected on this subject?

Doncaster Rugby League Club:
Directors: Gavin Baldwin   John Scarrow   Club Doncaster Limited

Club Doncaster Ltd:
Directors: Andrew Watson  David Blunt  Gavin Baldwin  Terry Bramall

So Doncaster Rovers don't own The Dons but the directors via Club Doncaster are also directors of the Dons.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Bristol City also bought a rugby team. So what's your point?

[roversdude]

Seems to have gone up to £8 million now

You're not wrong. But to claim that DRFC bought the Dons is a falsehood. Club Doncaster are the owners of both clubs.

[acko]

on 20th November 2013 gavin Baldwin announced that Doncaster rovers have purchased the Doncaster rugby league team from co owners carl hall & steve scholes for an undisclosed fee.probably forgot to tell you sm

[southwestexile]

And back to reality in league 1

[mrfrostsdad]

£6 million is not divorced from reality.
Middlesborough has offered £10 million for Jordan Rhodes and it's been turned down and he's not a premier league player. It's called ambition. Good luck to them

[BobG]

Acko. When are you actually going to leave?

BobG

[Dare to dream!]

I rate Gayle and think he is a quality striker in the prem never mind a league below!

My point is more, how can a club like Bristol City who aren't massive pay 6-8 million for a player? It's ridiculous. If we were to be promoted this season how could we compete?

[drfchound]

That i s a point i have been making to people for years now.
I really want us to get back to the Championship but in reality i know we will always be likely to struggle to be anything better than a bottom half team.
PD would be slated again for managing a struggling team.

He may have said that, but the money came from TB and DW as a separate funding stream, therefore no DRFC money was used. The subsequent restructure means that Club Doncaster own the Dons.

"The takeover will create immediate revenue streams for the stadium and I would like to reassure our loyal supporters that the Dons will have no negative impact on funds available for Doncaster Rovers, the initial cost was funded separately by the owners."

[mrfrostsdad]

We could compete in exactly the same way as Bristol City are trying to compete.
If our owners wanted to spend £6m on a striker, they could. FFP has more holes in it than the collinder in my kitchen cupboard

[drfchound]

MFD, i agree with you about the cullinder.
However, although our directors could spend 6 mill if they wanted to could you EVER see them doing it?
