This article hasn't aged well.

To save others the bother, DGM did a search, came up empty handed but presumably didn't want feel like he'd wasted his time without wasting some of ours.

Minimum time wasted, I remembered the article well, you guys discussed it on here as he had a pop at some of your more critical fans, discussed the fantastic culture at Rovers and recruitment.

Obviously, bringing in a trouble causer like Tomkins into an excellent culture could be seen as risky. It's also a bit worrying that fellow Middle 8 side Toronto have an ability to bring in high calibre signings, and Rovers have to rely on Peacock's tiny list of contacts, or pick up players like Carney & Tomkins under abnormal circumstances.

Those are some different and more interesting points.

As was established through tireless repetition when the council underwrote the loan for our north stand, pretty much everything carries risk. Including, ironically, risk-avoidance or -minimization #FOMO.

Toronto are currently a well-resourced and ambitious club - good for them. We'll either stay up ('hurrah!') or go down ('ah well'). I doubt Peacock's list of contacts is an issue. I suspect it is actually fairly substantial, and even if it wasn't we enjoyed our best spell of recent times signing nearly all our players from one agent. Saying stuff like 'we've got a 5-year plan' to people you're offer a 2- or 3-year contract to is likely a bigger issue IMO.

You only got Kelly because of his repeated and escalating wazzockry, and a bit of light embarrassment and a little compromised integrity aside (with some honourable exceptions), it's mostly worked out well.

Having seen almost all of Toronto's games this season and last, there most consistant best players hav been players like Beswick, Kay, Paterson and QLT. I really dont rate any of the so called "high calabre" players on what i have seen.
