The new striker who is already going to miss pre season and likely the first 5/6 games can only imagine the uproar on here if we did something like that

All very well fleecing travelling Birmingham fans who will obviously bring a large crowd having the promotion bounce. Problem is that Rovers will probably get charged a reciprocal price for the reverse fixture. I won't be paying £33+ to go to St Andrews, many others won't either. Meaning we'll be backed by about 400 die hards for a fixture only 2hrs away from home. Coz that's what football is all about, rinsing travelling fans 👌

Yes ok i see I just assumed with his initial part saying they were miles off his wage demands why would rovers even be an issue in the first place

How can anyone be pissed off with John Eustace? I genuinely don't understand. He left us because he wasn't backed. Cherry picking players he knows who got him into the playoffs. As well as spending £5m(?) on a new striker? He's upgrading on the club he manages 1000fold

I’ll share what I like cheers. You got anything worth sharing?

Not sure it's just pay on the day now, if you are an older fan that wanted to buy one in the ticket office at any time you'd be charged a premium to do so.

Not more from the purveyor of bullshit.. don’t give him the clout by sharing. Make him go out and get a real hob

Derby would have to pay us a compensation fee due to Dolan's age and us making him a contract offer. If they can't agree a fee with us, then it will have to go to a tribunal.

It's a bit like the Finneran deal (and Tyjon). We have no say in where he goes, but we're due compensation due to his age. That'll be decided by a tribunal unless we both agree a fee. Suspect we've got zero interest in making things easy for Derby.

You’d imagine Derby and Boro don’t want to go to a tribunal if they think they might get stung (No idea how Tribs work tho). So they’ll have to negotiate with Rovers. I’m delighted Rovers are being difficult to deal with over Dolan.

If the French lad from Hibbs still an option?

I thought the same. Now he’s a free argent surely the club have no say over who he can and can’t talk to. Right?

If he goes Derby, we have to agree to compensation or it will go to a tribunal. That's probably what he means, we are setting compo higher than they want to pay. In which case fine, take it to fucking tribunal then. Maybe get your own scouting team too...

Yawn. It’s a discussion thread about Rovers-related transfers. There’s a Rovers-related transfer in the X link. Thanks for your contribution though. Quality as ever!

Scumbags.

'Blackburn are being extremely difficult to deal with' - well if this story is all true, that would be 5 of our better players from last season after taking our manager who had us in the playoffs, so yeh, no shit we are being difficult to deal with!

Why would rovers be difficult to work with when it comes to Dolan? He isn’t our player

£32 for a senior in the Blackburn end if you pay on the day

Thanks, but...Yawn...! Not bothered what the sodding Rams are doing. Just interested in what Rovers are up to (if anything).

He did deserve to be treated like royalty though, to be fair 🤴

Up to £35 to £37 (or £38 to £40 if you actually had the temerity of buying it from the ticket office) for a second division game, against Birmingham.

I really like him, a few question marks on his decision making/final ball but let's be honest, if he had that polished he'd be playing at a higher level. His pace and directness is so refreshing, if we can keep him fit he'll cause issues this year, then it'll be a task keeping hold of him.

Probably been mentioned already but just in case it hasn’t, new fitness and strength coach in from Watford. Replacing Hodges, who of course has gone to Eustace and Derby. Come on John, it really is getting beyond a joke now 😡
