You have to read the full thread to get the context of that but fair play to the Posh chairman. That's putting someone straight. 

Could you summarise in 2-3 lines?
Some of us don’t want to entrust our personal details to Mr Musk and in return we’re no longer allowed to see much on there!

Basically, a Sag poster claiming to be in the know states that JCH has been confirmed as returning to the Mem. The post claims it's for a knock down fee because the club are still owned transfer money from the Posh. It also states thst JCH has turned down better offers, including championship clubs, to return to the sags.

All this is delusion is because Call Me Joe claimed that JCH was desperate to come back to them in an interview. How he could possibly know that without having a conversation with the player/making an illegal approach is a mystery. 

Having set that idea in their heads, the rest of them have started talking about houses in Portishead, a girlfriend in the area, and multiple sightings in the area and in one case even "the quarters". 

I guess at 29 years old he would represent their youngest signing this summer?

“The clue is ON THE PITCH.

Regardless of if they're permanent signings or loan signings.

They're still part of the squad playing ON THE PITCH.

Ryan Woods may have only played the equivalent of 16 Championship games, it's still pretty much the same amount as Andy King played for City last season.

Woods was pretty much an ever present for Hull until Rosenior took over who didn't fancy him for whatever reason, same with Harvey Vale.

Looking at Defenders don't think there's much difference between Connor Taylor or James Wilson to Robert Atkinson who City signed from Oxford either who played 26 games for them last season.

Point still stands they're not miles ahead of us on the pitch if you look at the 2 respective squads currently.

They are in terms of stadium and infrastructure, academy etc though.

However that wasn't my point.”

 

They really don’t help themselves do they…

If the fewers get him fair play they're showing concrete ambition. Pressures on them now to make play offs at the very least.

Be funny when they fail to make those play offs after breaking their poxy transfer record and splashing x amount on has beens. They really are going for broke this season. Fail to go up & things could be very interesting over at the dump.

The fact they are going to spend over a million pounds on a 29 year old without any chance of re-selling him on means it's all or nothing for them this season.

Sorry but you’re having a laugh . I’m disappointed we have signed one or two to strengthen the squad. But we signed some decent players this summer & if we hadn’t had injuries we be sat ok. The major one being Tommy . 

However , those tossers have done exactly what we did ten years ago. Older players with no sell on value . On loan players that after a year you have to keep rebuilding . If you think signing a cart horse striker is ambitious then give you head a serious wobble

Not sure what is so funny. Would be nice for us to show the ambition they are!

What by doubling our transfer record on a 29 year old striker?

They’re spending money, granted. But firstly, that’s relative to the league they are in. The ‘ambition’ you are talking about is them being rumoured to spend around £1.1 million this window, as well as signing 5 players on loan and 6 players on a free, who have an average age of 29.

There is a level of ambition to it, but if they don’t go up it could go seriously wrong. Of the players they’ve signed, a maximum of 4 have any resale value, that’s 8 transfers made with no resale value. If they don’t get in the play offs they’re going to be having a big clear out next year to avoid financial penalties.

Of course, we’d like to have more players through the door this summer. But we’ve already been in their boat of signing older players with no sell on value, who constantly failed to live up to expectation. How did that go for us?

This would be a fantastic signing for Rovers. One of the leagues best strikers. 
 

We have no equivalent signings since we were in league one signing Freeman IMO. 
 

Embarrasing really. 

I would argue that, when signed, Wells was the Championship version of Clark Harris.

Wells hasn’t got over 20 goals in the Championship. JCH has 26 and 31.

JCH also got 13 goals in the champ last season…

At the end of the day they may or may not be spending above their means and it might be shit or bust if their gamble for promotion doesn’t pay off. I get that, but it shows ambition!

Vs us, who has money to spend but an owner who refuses to do so.

I get it, we don’t like rovers, we want them to fail. But at least they are showing something, which we are not.

So, on signing, JCH scored 13 goals in the Championship. We were all better when we were younger, I’m talking about age/form on signing day.

He’s a cart horse ok striker for league one.

he’s a great signing for the pikeys as they are literally light years behind us .

Tommy Conway is ten times the player. 
 

they’ve signed a multitude of loans (will never be their payer) & over the hill shite .

There’s ambition and there’s throwing money at an off chance of getting promotion.

It’s the equivalent to us spending £25 mill this summer and breaking our wage budget completely.

It may be fun in the short term, but unless the rewards come then it could go badly badly wrong.

Id much rather be on our side of the fence than theirs

I don’t want to sign him. I agree Conway is better.

But he’s a great signing for them.

I’m not worried? But his signing for Rovers is very ambitious for their league. We’ve not signed someone of the same level since we were in that league (closest Naismith?)

4 were penalties, he’s completely out of his depth at Championship level.

Still got 3 stands… what’s the betting he says “it’s good to be home” I’d say they have a strong team but half their players aren’t theirs, they’re def going for it… just remember we’ve only played 4 league games, yes we ain’t been great, but we ain’t Swindon Town we ain’t won the World Cup yet nor have the sags… **** um

Totally agree . Let’s not forget . Some have short memories. When we got relegated in 2013 , this is exactly what we did & mark Ashton was recruitment consultant. 
this is blatant panicking by the fewers .

Absolutely no comparison . It’s numbers. Quantity not quality . A club is panicking when it’s signing 13-14 players every year . You can’t build a team doing that but that’s what they’re doing every year .

Yep, their wage bill will have skyrocketed out of all proportion.

Unless they go up (which is a huge if), they are going to be in a serious pickle next summer. 7.5k crowds don’t financially support wage bill increases of £30k or so in league one

It’s not the equivalent of us spending £25m and blowing everything on one gamble.

It’s investing SOME of the money we do have into the playing squad. It’s widely accepted that you cannot plead poverty when you’ve generated £35m over two transfer. We have money, SL doesn’t want to spend it. We have a 33 year old striker to lead the line until January at least! It’s embarrassing from our board.

Those criticising Rovers for signing JCH come across as jealous more than anything. Trying to play it down when on paper it’s an impressive signing for them.

For what it is worth, I would have taken JCH as a deadline signing today. In my opinion he would out score Wells in the championship.

Absolutely agree. They have signed lots of older players on contracts and younger players on loans. Our approach in league one was much stronger and longer term, sign the leagues best young players which fit out approach. 
 

All I was making the point is that JCH is a great league one signing for any club, and a real signal of intent. We haven’t made a similar signal intent for years, perhaps Naismith? (but then no other signings have supported since)
