I've just read Gills fans on twitter saying Ehmer being allowed to leave is "unforgivable" and a "f*cking disgrace".
Come off it, I find usually with the younger generation of Gills fans that use Twitter, completly over the top reactions and quite cringey, emotional attachments to players.
Look, Max Ehmer was a very good servant for Gills and will be a bit of a loss but he's 31 and been offered 3 years at Rovers by which time he will be 34 past his prime years.
If Bristol Rovers want to gamble promotion with going out of business then that's up to them. I actually back Scally over this issue and surely one thing this virus has taught us it's not to take things for granted, like having a football club to support at all.
Ehmer was our 2nd highest earner I think, it's a no brainer to let him go when we have Tucker and Ogilvie as defenders who are even better than Ehmer.
When will some football supporters realise that football players have a career to think about and will go for as much money as they can to support their family etc. I saw the same outpouring of emotion when Tom Eaves left it really does come across pathetic. We can thank players for their services but getting that attached to footballers is quite sad in my opinion.
Scally said it best "The Club isn't based around one player".
