no self respecting player of any quality will have seen and heard of this fiasco....
not put yourselves in their shoes..... would you want to come to a club that could possibly embarrass you with the way they carry on?

as i said i am a realist...
i see the damage it has caused, not just now but also for the future...

Nothing ventured nothing gained i think and just to see the biggest character in world RL turning out in a rovers shirt,even for 6 games is almost unbelievable.

Mrs Barista wrote:A few thoughts on this one:
1) Mike Smith, as Chief Exex, seems to have gone AWOL as the public face of the club. Odd since General Zod. said Smith is the best communicator the club has ever had - you'd think at times like this he's be at the forefront of everything in a week of immense PR pressure.
2) Hudgell seems to be implying that Rovers took a calculated risk and knew all along that Mason would need a Tongan passport and may not get one. Yet, just 3 weeks before the signing, the HDM ran a report to say Galea would be off quota. I think it was more like poor advice that Galea would get the Maltese passport and the resulting late Tongan passport bid was the only avenue Rovers could pursue.
3) "A little bit of help with red tape"? Mate, you've come a cropper trying to get double the base amount of overseas players in. More than a little bit of help, I think.
4) On RH it sounded like Cockayne, if found guilty, is on his way out. Hudgell referenced his previous issues at the club and talked of Rovers as a family club etc. Just my opinion.
