Greedy Dam bastard

Never again shall I make any emotional investment in a Rovers player. They are just names who wear the shirt. If they are injured, get rid. If they slack, get rid. Hope he suffers in the reserves and gets his just desserts. Thanks for the goals, now curl up and rot.

"Mind the gap" so small now that they accept our players are better than what they have.

Lee Johnson trying to buy his way out of being sacked - You need to be a good manager to make a team so f**k you and f**k Taylor

Surprised they didn't do a PR shot of his agent with the shirt.

Will be giving MT's replacement 100% of my support, I hope everyone else does too

Striker Matty Taylor today completed a move to Championship side Bristol City, for an undisclosed fee.

In moving across town he becomes the first player to move directly from Rovers to their arch rivals since another striker, Trevor Morgan, on 23rd January 1987 for a fee of £16,000.

Speaking of the transfer Bristol Rovers' Chairman, Steve Hamer said: "We are disappointed that Matty has decided to leave the club at this point in his career.

"He has been a fantastic servant to the Club and his goalscoring record has contributed significantly to the success of the Club and its current status in League One.

"Matty had made it very clear that he wanted this move and we are not the kind of club that will stand in the way when a player has made up his mind. We wish him well for the future."

Taylor joined Rovers from Forest Green Rovers in the summer of 2014 as we began our first season in the fifth tier of English football having been relegated from League Two at the end of the 2013/14 campaign.

An England ‘C’ international, he began his career with Oxford and went on to join Southern League South & West Division outfit North Leigh for whom he scored 80 goals in two seasons.

Matty made his debut for Rovers on the opening day of the 2014/15 season in a 0-0 draw against Grimsby Town and scored his first goal for the club in the 3-1 win against Nuneaton Town on 16th September.

His career record with Rovers has seen him score 67 goals in 134 games in all competitions.

He has been an important and valued member of our squad since joining us and his goals played a huge part in helping us to achieve back to back promotions.

F*CKING UNDISCLOSED FEE FFS.
Now we'll never know if it was the sh*tty release clause or actually a decent fee.

[socrates]

So it's " in five years time nobody will be talking about Rovers " ............5 years later...." we are sh** we're going down they're better than us we need their players"
What a complete cock.

Just threw up.
"Welcome to Bristol" just to take the p!ss.
F*cking c*nt. Never wished injury on a player before but I hope he breaks both his legs the little slimy sh*t.

Adam Baker, head of Comms at 82 FC is the biggest lady garden around. He will ejoy evertthing about this, apart from a footballing aspect.

[DTGas]

Why do I get the feeling that we won't get confirmation of the pittance we've received 😡

[Marshy]

I can't believe it anyone but them!
He wants Dam up the arse with the rough end of a pineapple for joining those 6 fingered fuckers!
Definitely dead to me now!

Won't the transfer fee come out when the finances do in a few months? I know that's a while to wait but I swear they used to be included as a separate section?
