the bookies are more often wrong on the new manager of teams in fact I can’t remember last time they actually got 1 right

[DonnyOsmond]

Why does everyone get so annoyed when people have inside information?
I was told in December by someone who’s close to tommy Rowe that he wouldn’t be renewing his contract and posted it in the rumour mill as it was a rumour but also just got people kicking up a fuss.

I'd say the "there's another side to the story I know all about but won't tell anybody" is very annoying. Being ITK is fine in itself. It's just the boasting.

[dickos1]

I agree
But purely passing on information you know to be true such as a player not renewing isn’t boasting it’s just sharing information

[Chris Black come back]

Often the most visible candidate is a smokescreen so the discussions with the real candidate can take place with less visibility. Remember Keegan ‘definitely’ coming to Rovers, when all along SOD was first choice for JR and it was just convincing him to give up on two decades at Bournemouth that was the delay?

That sides fine. Just the boasting they know something but not alluding to what isn't.

And if you are in the know with the other side of the Andrew story, you don’t feel the need to elaborate properly..

That’s why folks get pissed off - not because there will be two sides to a story..

It isn't my place to say. He said he had a different version, then the day after he also posted this on Twitter. It's family related, i'm guessing he doesn't want it plastered all over the internet.

Exactly.!!

If you can’t tell the whole story, then say nowt in the first place.  Posting part stories is frustrating for everyone else.

That’s why I said put up or shut up..

And even if your insider knowledge on matters DRFC does prove to be subsequently correct, does that give you some feeling of superiority.?

[steve@dcfd]

Andrew leaving was the worst kept secret, discussions with him and agent were cut off a long time ago. It was odds on that T. Rowe was leaving because he told people at the Sponsors lunch, which was all of 2 months ago. Alfie Beestin said pretty much the same thing on the same day.

The information given by the manager didn’t say it was cut off along time ago. The timeline given was around his stag and wedding and even just after that. It doesn’t matter really they all gone.

Going back to McCann he is quick to have his say via the media yet he’s not come out and said that he’s going nowhere yet. The club have made a statement to gain more compensation if required but GM has said nothing. We all hope he stays and comits to the club as he has asked his players to.

Thursday is his usual interview day. I'm sure that he will be asked about the Hull City situation unless he has said before it begins no questions about it are allowed.
Should Cliff Byrne do it then speculation would only increase.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Speculation from DFP hinted at another signing today too.

[Bessie Red]

Yorkshire Post have said informal discussions have taken place.

But they haven't, so the YP is speculating.

That isn't speculating, it's making stuff up.

Going from what I've been told, there's truth in this, and I'm sure he will be allowed to speak with Hull.

From what you’ve been told.?

Put up or shut up..

Look back in the thread, it isn't difficult.

Red army you know nothing you just like winding people up.

Really? Tell yourself that if it makes you sleep better at night.

I don't need to tell myself anything to make me sleep better at night. However it seems to me that you need to feel as though you know everything that's happening at the club and need to let people think you do to make you sleep better at night!! You're a classic bullsh!££er.

What have I said that is bullshit?

Pretty much everything

So saying Rowe and Andrew were leaving before it happened? I guess that was bullshit.
Saying Andrew had a different version of events. That was bullshit?

Dry your eyes, muppet.

I knew Butts & Rowe and possibly Andrew were leaving before the season end. Some people just don't wish to shout it out on here!

If it was such common knowledge, why did no one else post it on here?

Maybe because it achieves nothing of any use.

If I was to raise all the issues about players on here then the club wouldn't trust me, so all future discussions and agreements on other supporter issues would be futile. That's one of the reasons why people are angry with your posts suggesting you know something, wink, wink, but refuse to say what it is. It doesn't have any value.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Very true. No one likes or trusts a blabber mouth.

[Barmby Rover]

The activity being reported in the press of Donny being linked to various players seems a bit odd if the manager is leaving, if he were to leave then surely getting another manager would stop all transfer activity so the new manager would be able to bring in who they wanted. It happened last year when Ferguson left.

[Dare to dream!]

Odds now down to 1.17 (!). I think we’re in trouble.

[IDM]

Why would the bookies be in the know?  The odds only change if people make bets, which they could be doing as a result of rumours and nothing more.?

Market was suspended earlier, which either means they've had a load of money come in, or they are close to announcing.

That simply isn't correct. Bookies will have their contacts and use these to formulate their odds

[roversdude]

Sounds like insider trading

That simply isn't correct. Bookies will have their contacts and use these to formulate their odds

So are you a bookie or one of their insider contacts.?

I’m no expert on betting but I was fairly sure odds change as a result of betting patterns..

Of course it has an effect on the price, but it isn't purely based on that.

[Filo]

It says call not conference, that suggests phone call to me, maybe he was busy with an incoming player?

As I say, Thursday is normal press conference day.

Having spoken to the club several times this week it's obvious that everybody is extremely busy and beavering away. Let them get on with it.

Not too busy to talk to you 'several times' though SM.
When they are 'beavering away' as you put it why don't you let them get on with it as well?

You're a clown. Did I say I'd rung them?

According to Liam Holden Thursday is only presser day during the season

[sheffield exile1]

Do you honestly think  EXPERIENCE is worth more than all the values and commitment Copps has shown to our club .

It was an awful day when we had to get rid of Snod...

[dickos1]

Bookies can also be tipped off by people, he wouldn’t have been 2/7 just because of a bet.
Nobody will be signing for us now with this hanging over us as I said yesterday

[Move DRFC]

Well things could be about to go quite pear shaped hey lads!

Makes the meltdown about Andrew leaving seem laughable now. This would leave us in a world of trouble. Let's see how the next few days pan out!

[DonnyOsmond]

We're doing a Shrewsbury.

We're doing a Shrewsbury.

You need to keep the faith. :-)

And look how that meltdown ended up! We buy a player generally considered to be better than Andrew!

[roversdude]

I hope that was an informed keep the faith
Bizarrely as I write keep the faith by Bon Joni is being played on classic rock

There's one or two on here doing their biscuit.😉
