You not bored of trolling yet?

'99 Champs League Semi Final Scholes was never a regular for England & when he did play would often cost them the game, see Brazil 2002

Somebody with money who cares! That would be nice. (I can dream can't I?

We've already sold them all 👍.

"cheap" trumps "saleable"? I would imagine a 30 year old, injury prone, soon to be out of contract player from the Scottish Leagues wouldn't cost a lot, and may be seen (at least by Pasha/Gestede etc) as a body to fill in for a season or so Obviously don't ask what happened to the money from the Hyam sale

What games? Scholes is a PL legend and hall of fame. Is Wharton? Is he regular for England? His next move will decide whether ge will be England regular and who he joins will be interesting

The La’s - There She Goes

Assuming he had a hamstring graft for his ACL reconstruction this would set off air siren style alarm bells for any medical team.

What happened to sellable assets?

I think it was Glen who mentioned in the summer that they were looking to get rid of him due to his high wages. Then came the captaincy which surprised everyone. But here we are. If he’s still ‘injured’ tomorrow then I think we all know he won’t play again before being shipped off in January. Cantwell for Henriksson. Jesus wept.

I'd bet everything I own that Wednesday will turn that club around quickly after administration. A fan gave them a £1m interest free loan the other day to pay wages. They have multiple buyers lined up. Meanwhile we have the Venky death grip around our throat strangling the life out of us.

So highly rated that he would play Nicky Butt ahead of him in big games

We don't do extensions.

Don't Wednesday have money problems too though? Or has that been resolved?

I played at Ewood in a Football Aid game the day after the Deepdale win that sent us back to the Premier League. Souey was around the place doing TV/radio interviews on the aftermath of that game & he saw my sister with my nephew in the Blues Bar & made a beeline for him. My sister said he was lovely & noted “I’ve got one like that at home…!” before posing for a picture. I missed all this as I was showering after the game. 🤦‍♂️

Only 5 league games for Rovers. I was only 1 at the time he joined so obviously never saw him play. A broken leg away at Plymouth Argyle did for him? Future Rover Nicky Marker? My uncle told me the tale of travelling all the way down to Devon with his mates in a minibus rented from Aspdens Coaches. After losing 0-3 they got back to the mini bus and set off home. Whilst in traffic they met with some of the Argyle fans walking home who proceeded to smash in the side window and crack both the front and rear windows also, meaning they had to drive seven hours back to Blackburn in March with the wind swirlling through the van! Furthermore they sent the mate who'd hired the van into Aspdens on the Monday morning in the feint, perhaps forlorn hopes of getting their deposit back 🤣😂

Thank you.

Who cares tbh. Is that what we measure it FFS. Scholes was a great player and highly rated by Sir Alex Ferguson, his team mates and opponents. No way is Wharton better and I would suggest him being an ex Rovers is tainted your opinion

At least we got to keep Adam Wharton for a ‘good few years’, certainly wasn’t bundled out the door on the cheap after a few dozen starts (before he’d even turned 20).

Dazzle camouflage 😆

Regardless of any potential clauses, appearance triggers or anything like that, he must be our highest earner and the club will absolutely not be standing in his way if there is a chance to get him off the books. As you say, these types of situations have been consistent with the current ownership and it would not surprise me in the slightest if they have undermined the manager and told Cantwell to seek pastures new for the January window, to get him off the books.

Yep but from their point of view it is nearly transfer window time and all that means is another opportunity to raise a few quid, earn bonuses and get the wage bill reduced. Top of the tree there is Cantwell. Probably top earner and likely to fetch a couple of million with 18 months left on his deal. The gangsters running the club will be salivating at the prospect of getting him out the door in the next 8 weeks and in one move meet their target. Reference to relegation suggests that league position/status is a measure of performance here, there's no evidence that anyone from ownership down has ever had any interest in league positions.

'Others' vote for Ossie please. ty.

Could be a payment to Rangers after so many appearances

In the middle of a relegation battle and possibly looking at offloading one of our best Players? Its a fookin madhouse.
