We could have had him killed, removed his organs and sold them on Lithuanian eBay for £500,so to get nothing really is genuinely impressive.
Matt.
Nah mate.. I would have undersold him. lol Now got two kidneys. only need one,, any bidders.. right leg left.. only one. sold to highest bidder.. spare arm.. secondhand who will bid me.
I suspect there was a down payment.. cant imagine anyone being let go like that with the new regime. unless they are infected with the Torbay virus.. we won nothing therefore we are worth nothing..

Nice one Ives, only for the money we can get. Bodin 3 month contract? Not a fantastic deal for him.
Somebody mentioned I'd be worried because Bristol City signed Ives. Not at all worried as he was your weakest link when we played you last season but maybe he just had a bad game against us. More worried when City can pay 2.5m for French striker. But in all honesty City are so many light years ahead of us now it isn't worth worrying about. Many years when I have been watching Rovers City have been above us but always felt if we played them we could beat them and we did on many occasions.The last few years that has gone and I just would not want to play them now!!! As regards Bodin i havent seen him play so cannot comment.
Good luck this season. I have a feeling you are going to have a good season with a very good Manager.
Levi has joined Bristol City's under-21 squad, he has not joined as their reserve fullback.
That is quite a big difference, I do not think you will see him feature in the first team for quite some time, if ever.
The good thing for Levi is that he is very much the same "natural" style as Bristol City's current fullbacks, but this is a club who have just spent over £2m on a virtually unheard of French forward and I would be surprised if Steve Cotterill has ever seen Levi play
On Beyond the Penn Inn Roundabout forum, & on Bristol City chat forum, there are postings that Levi has left City to return home. If true, we won't get any appearance money in the future !
Doesn't surprise me, never saw the hype that surrounded him. The fact that Bristol City gave him a chance in their development squad is utterly meaningless, clubs across the top 2 divisions fill up their development squads every season, in the hope they get 1-2 players out of it, most fall by the wayside.
