You are absolutely correct by the way. 15 mins of champ football this season would convert too. Should be a quick thing I'm sure.

Assuming I’m right about this, we could still give him those 30 seconds now. Whether the conversion paperwork would then happen quick enough for us to re-use his ESC place this window is anyone’s guess.

Amazing that all we had to do was give Mafoumbi 30 seconds of league action last season and we could have converted him to a GBE slot this summer.

Just 5 mins of listening to that man leaves you in no doubt where the problems. lack of vision, plans and ambition have really been this last decade. He knows nothing except cost cutting, penny pinching and arse covering.

One of few that had his head screwed on the right way good for him resigning and as said not just going through the motions and taking a wage. THATS how you love a club

I can categorically say he’s 100% lying on this occasion, he’s wholeheartedly talking out of Hoop

Travis is one of those vocal, niggly, dark arts characters that every club needs. Ability wise he' s a solid top half championship player but it's the other qualities he has that make him an integral squad member. Can you replace his stats in the pitch? More than likely. That's not the whole picture though. Value wise, given his contract, I'd say £2 - 2.5 mil is a fair deal.

Yes, there was a period of time under JDT where we absolutely outplayed every side we met. Think that was the only time since probably Mark Hughes time where i go into every game confident of a win regardless of opponent. Just imagine if JDT was given more resources, we would probably be one of those 100 points Championship teams.

Its a quote from Suhail during the fans forum So it then comes down to do you believe that he is being truthful, or not I think most of us know the answer to that

Not sure where this nonsense about academy staff not rating him has come from. He was widely regarded as a generational talent, the only concern was his physical stature, as he was a late developer in that respect.

Selling Travis is for me a poor decision. I love that guy, and even though he is limited he gives me so much to cheer about. Standing up for his mates, giving 100%, shithouse. He is Arte & Labore

it does not hes right but selling everyone and not adequately replacing them does garentee league 1

The Blackburn deal doesn't sound right, and it doesn't look right," said Whelan, who discussed the takeover with the Rovers directors on Saturday, when the clubs met at Ewood Park. "It is an absolute shame. The trustees want the club to be safe but it doesn't seem to be safe."

Despite it not being necessary to use the services of an agent, as the selling club, Rovers appear to choose to do so. Given that we appear to be cutting back and saving, in almost every other area, I have to question, why they want to spend money on agents, when it can be avoided? Perhaps there is a logical explanation, but yet again, it appears that Agents are benefiting, when perhaps they shouldn’t be.

Pasha said “Spending money on players, does not guarantee success”.

we COULD afford many players but the people running the day to day of the club will not allow money to be spent

Axel looks like he can ping a few in from outside the box, not really evident on Saturday but going off his previous goals. That and our awful set pieces are 2 huge problems for us, both things that teams who will struggle for goals should have nailed. Even watching Sheff Weds yesterday and despite all their issues, their set pieces were 10 times better than ours.

Perhaps I am stupid but I thought he had a better than decent game. Found myself quite excited about possibilities with this fella.

Seemingly what Ismael wants is not something BicMac has in his locker. Shame that cos he looked to be coming on a bit during the end of Eustace's reign.

Why do we not shoot more often, Tronstadt had what.looked to me kike two lovely shootin chances and did not. The cross from the new guy.early on lovely but no one there. Nothin much clicks up front.

Your last line reminds me of something Alan Myers said in a fantastic interview I heard him take part in. Myers said he once chased an agent out of the building when at Rovers and the MD at the time told him 'it's probably not a good idea if we throw agents out'. It's not related to the theme of your post, but at one time we did have an official who was ready to throw agents out if needed. That story can be heard at 2:21:25 below: He starts talking about Rovers from 1:58:25 and spends a good 20 minutes or so talking about his time at the club. Really good listen. He speaks fondly about the fans and the staff. Says we are his second club and that we have all been through so much and that he wants to see us back in the Premier League. Also states that the staff were doing the jobs of five people (no change there then?) At around 2:09:55 he talks about how things were going well, we had a 40 goal striker partnership, then suddenly there were financial issues. For anybody who hasn't got time to watch it, the follow on to the above is the golden quote from Alan (up until 2:10:40): "Suddenly there were financial issues and I didn't like the way it was going there...I could see relegation coming...I'm no football professional but I could feel things weren't right...so I resigned, because I'm principled, it's silly and it costs money, but if something's not right you've got to say it, I can't go in and steal a living by just going through the motions". Alan was talking about 2014/15 with that quote. The same thing applies today in 2025! WTF is going on here? 10/11 years on from the time Alan is taking about and still the same issues persist. Why? Financial issues, cheap punts, relegation vibes. This is all being discussed today as present concerns. We can see where it is heading, just like Myers could back then. Billionaire owners? Piss off. FFP? Piss off. Indian Court case? Piss off. Top man is Alan Myers. One of the real, genuine good guys that turned up here during this 15 year debacle. I'd love to have him back at Rovers under new ownership and a new Board. A proper professional who wants the club to succeed. It was Alan who was responsible for getting the historic timeline put up around the ground. He states this in the video. He wanted the fans to feel connected to the club again. He gets it. Then we saw what happened with the timelines discarded not long after. Night and day, is the difference between real operators and absolute charlatans.

Harry Leonards just coming back from injury hes expected to play for the under 21s. We've not many options up front at the moment.

We've lost 4 players from last season, it's going to take a few games for the replacements to be on the same wave length. I'm going 5-0 to Rovers bounce back after the west brom disappointment.
