Agree to disagree

Put it this way, I bet Bristol City feel more rivalry with Cardiff and Swansea than they do with Bristol Rovers the last few seasons.

PS the bigger rivalry with Cardiff was there back in 1978 when my best mate was at Bristol University.

Thought he was supposed to have everything lined up ready to go. Was expecting an announcement as soon as the window opened.

I just went on a stag with a load of Bristol City lads. They had great joy signing "Irene is a slag" but didn't mention Cardiff once.

1 year deal I’ve heard , he’s thinking about it . I can’t tell you my source . Hope it’s true and pay back for being out for a season 🤞
even if that is true, and find it hard to believe, the only reason he would stay another year is because the clubs he thought might be sniffing, arent. and hes getting advice to stick it out, put yourself in the shop window and the bigger clubs will be ready.

Not sure what would be in it for us to be honest. The only benefit would be if it allowed us to sell him immediately for a few (then what is in it for O'Hare). If there is a contract available to him, surely would be a minimum of 2 years.

I can't see him going abroad now. He could of signed a pre contract with any foreign club from January. His poor second half of the season may of cost him that Premier League club.

Not as poor as your use of 'of' instead of 'have'

Good point about the poster, perhaps Callum's media interviews have put clubs off? 😂

Sure if O'Hare had confirmed a new club it would be announced by now. Most likely he is still deciding which club to go to, and perhaps the Cov improved offer is also been considered. Callum's dip in form and lack of game time towards the end of the season may of put off interested parties, and the offers he (surely) has received haven't been brilliant. A 1 year deal seems strange. If he's playing out of his skin for the first few months we'll need to sell him in January to get a fee, and that could disrupt the season.

Pointless signing him for 1 year, we'll be back in the same position next season, where he's more concerned about his move than playing football, he's made his decision to leave, let him leave. He's far from irreplaceable.

Doug wont have O'Hare pulling the strings on a contract offer, we'll have offered him something and told him its available until a certain date, after that we move on and plan without him

if he cant find anything else that's his problem, i don't think he's going to have as many offers as he thought he would

And here’s another thing. Robins is clear players need to be committed to the club and the project. Callum clearly isn’t. So it’s a goodbye.
If he suddenly said he wants to stay, there’s no way King or Robins would say no.

I don’t like Leicester but I wouldn’t hate someone that doesn’t support us (we are his employer and that’s as far as it goes) for going to them. I haven’t got the energy to hate everything and everyone like some do on here
Some attitudes are a little bit weird, aren't they?

Not really weird, just normal football rivalry. I wish him well, he's been great for us and weve loved him while he's worn the sky blue jersey, but I'd hate to see him go to who I see as our biggest local rivals.
He'd be gone, someone else's player. Why would that bother me? Then again, I'm not twelve.

The window hasn't opened though has it?

It does make some sense tbf,

he gets a chance to win promotion and become a premier league player with us,

And when you consider that he was out injured for the back end of the play off season and much of last season, he may consider promotion more achievable if he has a full season fit and playing.

He may also be convinced to stay when he hears about the quality we're being linked with.

He could also use next season to convince other clubs that he's finally over his injury issues, and can play a full season.

From the clubs point of view, we get to keep a quality player for another year, with only his wages to pay.

So there's a good argument for a 1 year contract.
However I think it's a long shot now. I'd be very surprised if he isn't playing somewhere else very soon.

I'm not saying it would, or should, bother you. It would bother me, that's all. I regularly go out with my mates who I used to work with and they're all Leicester fans. They do rub my nose in it about winning the Premiership, and the FA Cup, and now their promotion as champions while we're the nearly men again, but it's just football banter.
Anyway, no hard feelings
