I feel that JH made the team tick last season. When he got injured the team went to the wall If 4 centre backs isn't enough I'm guessing DF is looking at playing at playing 3 at the back which I personally don't think we have the players for at this timeI'd personally risk not getting another CB and go with JH. Soda law says if we don't sign him someone like the Dingles will sign him and he'll be their player of the season. If he's available we can't afford to miss out on him
In Fergie we trust, judging by some of the comments on here there's a few that think they could do a better job than him 😴
Our ambition is to be a sustainable club, that means a L1 club. We can't hope for any more unless we start getting 15,000 through the gates.
Our ambition is to be a sustainable Championship club, or have those goalposts moved as well?

We can't hope for any more unless we start getting 15,000 through the gates.We were a Championship club for 4 years on the trot without getting anywhere near 15,000 gates so that shouldnt be the reason we can't hope for more than being a sustainable League One club. The board needs to have ambition. Ambition was a never a doubt when we had JR.
Average gate in Championship is around 15k.Rovers did not get near that average when in the league. Promotion means higher wage bills for the period in that division, and the following season.Playing better teams with higher income means more defeats in most seasons. Fans want to see their team winning, so seasons of struggle see gates taper off.Those who think Rovers are Championship ready are also saying that they would be happy with a lower half season at best.Reality, I'm afraid.So is it better to be a L1 challenger, or a Championship struggler?
As a player or a fan i would always want to be at the highest level possible.On an income level, the away end is worth about £1m per season to the club.
TOTAL LACK OF AMBITION IN MY BOOK
What division is the £1m figure based on .
