What a preposterous notion! That will never be sustainable 😉

According to pretty much all sources reporting the Brittain to boro move, they are all saying it’s his preferred destination. And of course that would make sense also Derby aren’t going to pay near 4million no chance

I think any run of the mill or young manager or head coach will take the first serious job offered to them if they've been out of work a while and aren't multi millionaires. As said it's a no lose situation as you get big rewards if successful and rewarded anyway for failure, many of them are only in it for a wage and because they know nothing else. Whenever has anyone heard of a club never being able to attract a first team boss ?

This will now force Derby's hand. Think they have been playing something of a waiting game whilst busy elsewhere in the market. Time for them to sh1t or get off the pot. Don't think this is over yet.

I think people prefer the third option - renewing the contracts of our key players.

Yeah, true. Also it's a can't lose situation.

Correct we don't have to sell. But then everyone complains about players leaving on a free.

Wait how is it a ‘blow’? We don’t have to sell if we didn’t want to

Not sure this was the case. I can't see how, if we were saving say £50k a week (which may be an over-estimate) once those players left, we suddenly have the funds for their down payments, agent's fees, their wages and signing on fees.

They used to be available after a week or so. Just recently it seems to be anywhere between 2-4 weeks for some reason. There will be nothing worth viewing in there anyway. Hopefully Glen will come on and give us a decent recap when they have been published.

Oh I know it alright 🤣 Was just thinking if he's going go. I can accept it albeit slightly disgruntled, but that needs to go on a striker more than anything really

If you watch it on fullscreen on a laptop (and maybe zoom in), you can see him scoring a belter from just past the halfway line. Keeper wasn't even that far off his line, and probably should have done better tbf, but there are some top players who've failed to hit the target from that distance their whole careers. Kane has tried it a lot and I think only scored one or two. What amused me was the complete lack of reaction from the coaches on the sideline. I think it's the opposition's coaches, but still, you'd think nothing had happened at all.

How he had the fucking balls to say that, I'll never know.

Only if they handed their notice in. I think all of the U21's, so most of their current squad now, were paid.

They have had no interest since they arrived 15/16 years ago , we were nearly relegated in their first season , after being 10th when they arrived .They achieved their goal , the season after ! We are going down !

Rovers and Sheff Weds thrashing out a transfer deal. Can you even imagine?

All pretty pointless and a waste of everyone's time isn't it? Yet they still expect us to pay competitive Championship prices to watch it. Roll up roll up £35 to sit on the Blackburn End against Birmingham!

As much as I loved watching Speedie play, he was 32 when he left Rovers. I doubt that he'd have been able to replicate his form in the Premier League. A separate point but I've really enjoyed reading these comments. What an utter shame that the current climate of the club is in such a state that protest ideas, lack of season ticket sales, and what freebie is coming in are the main topics of conversation. Venkys out.

I’m wondering if this is a typo or not 😁

It’s not all bad - you’ve got next week’s court case adjournment to look forward to…

Brittain looks like he's gone then. Travis next? Wouldn't surprise me if the replacement is already here (Alebiosu). Gestede is surely delighted to have Montgomery as backup to increase those Academy playing minutes from last season: - Transfer fees received doesn't get reinvested into the squad as per Gestede's previous comments (i.e. transfer budget is not impacted by player sales) - Venky's have probably not put a single penny into the transfer budget. Pasha makes sure it stays that way to collect his yearly bonus (maybe he gets a bit more now that Waggott is gone?) - We are reliant on slashing wages and selling players first before we can add anyone to the squad. All the outgoings (ending of loans and contracts) are the reason why we were able to pay a fee for the likes of Tavares, De Neve, McLoughlin and Alebiosu. - Contracts are not sorted/extended because any salary increase will have a negative impact on whatever transfer budget we're currently operating with - Owners know their business model would be laughed at if the club somehow miraculously were to get promoted to the PL. Why? Because the sheer thought of having to spend in excess of 100 million pounds just to be competitive (like Sunderland or Nottingham) would send them into a panic mode They have no interest in the club. They're not willing to spend. They have no ambition. They have no knowledge. They won't sell the club at a fair price. And to top it all off: club has an internal debt of roughly 120 million pounds towards the owners that they will never be able to repay regardless of how many assets they sell.

The exiting summer continues!

It may have been missed but il ask again doesn’t anybody on here know how long it takes for minutes to be agreed glen Mullen said he was at the meeting with pasha in attendance and questioned him on loads of things I’m wondering what these were and the responses etc Glenn has been a big critic of the regime so I doubt he sugar coated the questions

I don't blame people for wishing we were run like 99% of the rest of the football league, tbf. They'll be more than happy with the new lad, Duru and Kristi.
