    There is far more to a player transfer than simply if the player wants to leave or not.

    Also, the club haven’t come out and said they are keen to sell – so you don’t know at all if the club are pushing anyone. 

    One thing that none of us on here know, is how immediately RRFC need the cash.  We all know that promotion will be more valuable long term than a likely fee for Vaughan, but the club have taken a massive financial hit after last season – and have decided to still run full time.  That puts absolutely massive pressure on finances.

     

    I doubt anyone at the club has asked for Vaughan to attract attention, which is why they aren’t pushing him out the door or forcing the issue.  However, if a young player in the Scottish lower league bangs in the goals on a weekly basis – that is of course going to attract attention.  Clubs will be interested, and eventually offers will be made – and that is something the club really has to consider.  Money talks in football, and whilst it is often a short term view – a club like the Rovers who live hand to mouth each week often need to take short term views. 

     

    I’m wary of quoting the figure of £100k, but anything near that region is absolutely massive money for the club.  For context, I’m pretty sure that’s what we got for Nacho Novo – a player who had played consistently well over a season at a level higher than this, in an absolutely shite team. 

     

    I think Novo's ownership was complex.

    l'm sure we only paid him a small wage on that basis that we would only receive a small percentage of any fee, with the player/agent getting most of it, to compensate for the small wage.

    I'm only responding to the comment about you lot selling 1000 season tickets and your a much bigger team than all the others in the league. Fact is come the end of the season the attendance figures between the top two will be very similar.

    Couldn't give a f**k about attendance figures at the end of the season.

    As Bruce would say 'points make prizes'

    Interesting move and timing.

    if we really had done a complete on and off field review in the summer then why wasn't this done then ?

    Or was Eric the only one who knew how to register players etc so we needed him ?

    Given the number of chairmen who worked with Eric, and how he kept hold of power/influence for so long, I would suspect that the Sim deal is moving along and this is one of the stumbling blocks now out of the way.

    To be honest the man had a shit load of influence for such a small shareholding, and perhaps we are returning to the biggest investors having a bigger say in the direction of the club
