I think Toth is a fantastic keeper and unless we are selling Pears, bringing in another keeper is just going to take up a space in the 25 man squad. Other positions a priority.

‘Very, very limited numbers available’ remember… so they’ve sold about 3. Good job they delayed it to flog a dozen or so more of the gold one.

https://roversfans.com/index.php?threads/venkys-is-the-proverbial-about-to-hit-the-fan.1522/page-14 This thread over on the breakaway forum is certainly an alternative view to the one here to say the least.

Ive heard the phrase "I want a Club to be proud of" a number of times from Herbie and others on here recently. I dont think I would even put it that high. Id like to see a Club that is TRYING. Everyone makes mistakes and doesnt get everything right. Nor is there a divine right to success. However if I thought I saw a Club that I thought was once again acting in good faith, TRYING to win football matches, TRYING to be successful and didnt appear to view it's supporters like something they'd just stepped in on the pavement................... Id take that compared to what we have now.

Good to hear. Amidst all this 'painful acceptance' we cannot and must not accept their arrogant silence. We must demand answers,they have a responsibility to communicate.

You can still buy the "exclusive" shirt in every size on the club website. Total cock-up. How are senior people still in jobs at this club.

You didnt bring anyone down with your beautifully written post. I suspect for many the thread has also provided a valuable outlet for a cathartic outpouring of grief.

Thank you to everyone who has engaged with this post. I really didn't intend to bring people down, so I'm sorry if that's the case for anybody. But, not for the first time, I've been reminded of how many passionate and dedicated supporters of this club are here on this site. I've appreciated reading each of your posts on this thread and I hope for you all (as well as, selfishly, for myself!) there appears some light on the horizon through a change in Blackburn Rovers' ownership. Because, for many of us, the club is clearly entwined with so many different aspects of our purpose, families, lives, and history.

Try doing some individual research instead of generic AI which always throws up the easiest to find options first.

Feels like your telling me I should watch the Manchester derby instead.

‘FT🚜 4 - 🌹 0. But a great effort for a team with an average age of 14 👏 ‘

No. We are just ridiculous at accumulating keepers. Just not at keeping the good ones. Well...ridiculous at that too, just in a different way.

I would class Kahn & Barrett as superfluous, neither should have been given new contracts Goddard & Honor are injured Each scholarship year group tend to have one or 2, Wolsoncroft & Thompson were last season, Holt came through in this years group. Next year will probably be Krajewski & Garside. That's not an issue at U18 level, but they do seem to be frightened of cutting them loose at U21 level, maybe in part as keepers tend to develop later than outfield players

As my mate who isn't even a Rovers fan said 'No Gudjohnsen No goals'. We'll go 1 up in this on the counter but run out of steam early second half and a raft of changes will see us lose. 2nd most successful town club 2 - UK's most successful but ruined town club 1

It wasn't reported when we signed him. But neither was Hyam's and we had one on him.

Do we need all these keepers at different levels? (Genuine question as I dont know)

Do we definitely not have a years option with Toth?

I respect your opinion but for £5m + Id be starting the car now. Maybe even £3m - £4m. I can't see even our lot selling Toth AND Pears. Hopefully we manage to offload Pears for around £1m and can bring in either a capable deputy or a young prospect whose career is on the upgrade.

At a normal club which had given him a contract extension on what he was worth and had him tied down for 3+ years, maybe somewhere in the £4M- £5M range Probably not in the summer with a year left on his contract and a known distressed seller, we are probably looking at circa £3M (similar level to what they managed for Brittain, Travis etc)

agreed, he is terrible

Hopefully not Khan either. Utter dross.

£5m+ I think you have it wrong with Toth. After an unconvincing start, looks the business, produced some outstanding saves and is now a full international.

Realistically - Given he's a championship starter and rotational for Hungary I'd estimate between 3 and 4.5 plus a 10-20% sell on.

All of those, and a few more Honor in the U21s Wolsoncroft, Thompson, Holt in the U18s O'Leary is 29, he isn't being brought in as an academy player, most of those will be leaving within a year or 3 without making a dent in our first team

O'Leary is a fairly steady keeper at this level I think, ever present in the last two seasons for a side that finished 11th & 6th. Been injured a while then spent a bit of time on the bench, but has got himself back in the side playing there last 5 games. There will be nothing in this one I'm sure.
