I suspect when he says 'double' it's just the spin Gestede or whoever has put out there although it means little with the way Rovers now go about things. Could mean twenty grand a week, could mean they are offering 3 years whilst Rovers are offering year extensions or it could mean overall contract including signing fee, wages and bonuses. Whatever it is we know he'll be better off at a key stage in his career although as usual it's taken on a world of its own in social media land. 'Travis is our highest paid player and Derby are doubling it, could be 40k a week, he's a greedy bastard doesn't love the club feck him' Idiots pure and simple idiots. -

Your right they are morons if they don’t see the bigger picture that our own limited wage budget is the reason he wants out not disputing that at all I’m saying as a fan with intense speculation surrounding the player when asked I’m glad Iv been told by the manager exactly what’s going on - some won’t like it that’s fair me personally i do obviously the elephant in the room is why aren’t we getting these players to sign and that answer should come from Rudy whenever he comes out of hiding after the window. I’m not downplaying the bigger picture I’m agreeing but it doesn’t mean he’s wrong to tell us that a player has asked to speak to another club. If there was no such thing as social media like back in the day he could get away with it but not now. -

That makes legitimately no sense. So questions that get asked a lot have to be answered? and you better believe every moronic man online is now going around saying we offered travis good money but he wants more greedy etc -

Because he is asked about in every interview due to speculation that’s why - and me personally as a fan would prefer honesty and to know what is going on now we have a clear picture Travis has asked for permission to speak to Derby - now we know exactly where we stand instead of speculating about things as for making the club look better it doesn’t it makes us look worse the club captain wants out along with all other senior players they can dress it up saying ‘we tried’ but that’s not going to work it’s a terrible look for the club -

The problem these days is everything has to be played out on social media etc. it will only get worse with AI. Travis obviously hasn’t handed in a transfer request but if other clubs are wanting him and its public knowledge then I can’t see why VI shouldn’t have his two pennoth too. He is obviously rattled that he is losing experience from the team and it could get worse. i’d be very surprised if the club haven’t anticipated this situation happening but it seems they aren’t handling it very well as far as publicity is concerned. -

Why should he tell us when employees are unhappy and want anyway? Obviously to make the club look better! -

It will almost certainly be the same terms as what he was already on, for a period of time that does not take him past his 31st birthday, so either until 2027 ot 2028, perhaps with a 1 year option It has become glaringly obvious that: - there is a wage cap for new signings. One which is much lower than most other current Championship teams. Sheffield Wednesday are probably the exception, but their wage cap is imposed upon them, not decided by them - they will sign off on the current terms of players who are already here (if they are on more than the wage cap), although they will not increase those terms - contracts for players under 30 shall not extend for more than a year after the players 31st birthday - contracts for players over 30 shall not be for more than 1 year All of which seems to be set in stone. Rules which are unbending, inflexible, & that they are unwilling to change or evolve, which shall just lead to Rovers circling the drain until they disappear down it -

Why should he give us figures im pretty sure (don’t quote me on this) there’s law/rules against providing exact information publicly without consent when it comes to salaries/income -

Might be worth doing if he serves his ban at Derby 😉 Not serious btw -

Can’t have it both ways though. When VI talks vaguely about offering him a good deal and Derby offering more. Give us the figures VI. What did we offer him? -

There is zero point starting Travis now his head will be up his arse and the chances of him getting sent off or picking up a daft injury will increase ten fold. No point having pops at Ismael either over what he says as i think it's clear putting things across isn't always his strong point and he's slap bang in the middle of it all anyway. Lets leave the scrutiny on him to his tactics, team selection and subs, all of which need to be spot on tomorrow. -

That’s your take and you’re entitled to it. Mine is I’m glad to see a manager tell us what’s happening and exactly how it is - Today

There's being transparent then there's being respectful. We all knew the crack with Trav, it was reported days before. If the Manager had any kind of respect for our club captain then he would have delivered his interview differently. A better answer - "This situation with Travis is difficult, there's is interest elsewhere and this is football" not "Travis wants to leave for Derby county" It's a total lack of respect. -

He has said numerous times that the players with only 1 year left are at risk of being sold. It won't have been a secret to the other players that Travis was looking to move on. Quite plausible that he doesn't plan on starting Travis until the transfer situation has resolved one way or another so how would he explain it if Travis doesn't start v Brum? Travis isn't staying now -

Henriksson self-describes as an 8, so might see him and Tavares as the midfield duo once Trav and Tronstad are shipped off. God help us with Forshaw and Montgomery as the only other options. -

Whilst I think Travis has been shafted and portrayed as the bad guy for wanting to leave, once the club knew that was the case, they shouldn’t play him and they should get on with the sale. Not like they’ve no recent experience of selling players, is it? -
Doesn't matter. There is no future here, as the senior players are showing. He did the right thing getting away from here, bonus that he managed it before really playing a game.

Lancaster Rover replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I totally agree, I think it’s stark juxtaposition of the two periods in history so obviously laid out in front of us that make me uncomfortable/so aware of it. As a 40 year old I’ve been very lucky in the heights I’d seen, fans older than me suffered many more dark days than I, the first 25 years of my life were mainly seeing rovers on the up or at the very pinnacle of success. It’s the almost wilful neglect of the Venky’s era against the image of Jack that drives our situation home most. -

I don’t think so, if the players told the dressing room he wants to leave, I personally would want them out asap. That interview was a way of expediting that process Imo. -

A debacle on and off the pitch, playing against a side on the up backed by a large following. The writing is on the wall and it'll get a lot worse before it starts to get better. I hope that I'm totally wrong, but I can't see beyond an easy away win here. 0-2 -

Nothing at all to do with Rovers, but why do more and more Brazilians have names that don't sound very Brazilian Kevin? FFS! That's as bad as Fred! If someone is dropping €50M on him, he should at least have the good grace to change his name to Kevinolinho so he sounds a bit more exciting 😉
