If we’re only matching players salaries then I’m not surprised their heads are turning when clubs like Boro and Derby are offering more. Fair play to them and rightfully should be telling Venkys to fuck off.

Sounds like we can build a team around everyone at the club then. Why were we panicking? it's all under control.

As I've said a few times already Rudy wants an entirely fresh start, new team, new management, new behind the scenes loyal folk - everything everywhere. Won't work. It will finish the club off. Lunatics in charge of the asylum. Buckle up.

Don’t think Hyam would be hard to replace, never stood out to me as anything but an ok cb, need a real leader a captain at the back

Whoever is cheap.

Thank you for the insight. It's no surprise that Trav is being portrayed as the villain, it's been in the playbook for anyone who wouldn't agree a new contract and has subsequently left. We'd like to think people are catching wise to it, but sadly, there's more sand in the Blackburn area than I'd originally accounted for...

Well done for trying. I certainly couldn't have sat in the same room as Waggott after he tried to flog Brockhall off and I doubt it's got any better since he left. Without it being meant as a criticism of individual members, other than the last meeting I feel the Forum has become counter productive in recent years. For the Club it's just been a vehicle to make themselves look better by creating the illusion that they communicate with the fans and actually listen to, or are bothered about, anything they say. When in reality most of the time the responses given by the Club over the last few years have been an affront to any rational person's intelligence.

It's a stock image of River Plates ground. The glossing over the small details at this club is so embarrassing.

So who exactly are we building a team around?

Since we're playing Hull away on the 23rd of August, he could probably get a lift there with the team bus, unless Waggot did not receive it as his parting gift.

Sadly it ain't the rats that are deserting It's players who can see the writing on the wall with our ownership structure, and are quite rightly trying to better themselves via a wage increase and/or with a club that has ambitions It's all going wrong for you isn't it Suhail you slippery cunt

Err no. Wankers steering it.

I can assure Rovers fans that if Travis came to Derby he would be on a MAX 18 k all the rhetoric from your management is quite frankly just to cover up their inability to fund the team. and you’re manager throwing him under the bus is disgusting for a long serving academy player

If he could move to Hull he’d be handy for the ferry.

Unfortunately, I can imagine Tronstad's agent being quite active or desperate now. This is all due to Tronstad wanting to move closer to home, of course. Nothing to do with the Venky stooges.

“ Based on what he contributes to the team “ £250 a week should just about do it then. Sorry, read Hyam as Hedges. I must get my cataracts done when I get back to the UK

Steady on, that's a bit Brexit isn't it?

You misspelt Hedges 😉

Just catching up on this. Pesky LT pay wall- what did Ismael say about Travis exactly? No surprise of course that Hyam is the latest one to have contract talks stall just a few weeks after Elliott and the LT helpfully announced on behalf of the Club that agreement on him was "close" to try and soften the blow of the news about Brittain's impending departure. Brittain, Dolan, Travis, Hyam. Almost a full set. HOUSE!

The ground won’t hit him back.

Imagine what this is doing to team morale...

Unfortunately, the rats are well-positioned within the club hierarchy. Venkys out!

100% correct. We will be left behind.As if Venkys give a toss.

Another thing to look at are the wages other teams are offering for players that aren't "difference makers", when you do you realise how far Rovers are sinking. It's now become very clear that Rovers are completely incapable of renewing current first team players contracts. This is the future under the direction of Suhail Pasha and Venky's and it isn't a sustainable one in the Championship. Any decent owner would sack all involved in the laughable number of players down to 1 year left on their deal. Total incompetence. List the club for sale!! It's time to go. Venky's and Pasha OUT!

Obviously the first half of last season he and his teammates were loving life doing well at the top end of the league and playing under a manager they gave everything for and had galvanised the club in the space of a few months, The time for new contracts was then and had that been done I'm sure that most of Travis, Batth, Weimann, Brittain and Dolan would have signed up and we would have secured our foundations for years to come, perhaps even more importantly it would probably have persuaded Eustace and his team to stick around and keep going. But the people at the top of this club - with their questionable links, backgrounds and no reason to believe any of them have a clue about running football clubs - know better. This is what makes it even more difficult to accept - that we had what we needed in the palm of our hand and they have dismantled it in 6 short months for no real reason.
