Good to see youngsters signed up for the longer term. Gotta say that whatever we think of Pears, to go from first choice to outta here is strange. Yes he has had some howlers but also a good stretch before getting injured. Maybe he has been promised the Derby gravy train, but if he goes and Toth gets injured we have a rookie between the sticks. Has to be a money thing.

Was Lowe removed from that list & then re-added? or just never removed in the first place? https://www.rovers.co.uk/club/staff/ It may just be out of date as It also still shows Tuffy as U18s manager, even though he is now U21 assistant manager

Lowe must be very well in with someone who has the ears of Pune. Looked like Eustace tried to get rid but he was just sent on other duties then reappeared. Very odd stuff for a low level coach maybe Suhail himself is trying to get him reinstated after he was pushed out by VI and Gestede ?

Oh great, another transitional year, another journey, another excuse. Just what we need to celebrate 150 years. The only transition we are undergoing is from bad to worse.

Revolutionary. Did they not put a ten quid surcharge on for your nerve of just walking up and asking to buy !

I wonder if the statement made by Pasha Regarding David Lowe, was due to him knowing that the owners have previously reinstated him, after he has been potted. If that is the case, it will make the statement about him, that VI made look him look foolish and I wonder if that will be the start of some severe unrest. Is David Lowe still here? well according to this off the site just now he is.

Every club within 100 miles radius now has its big day out at Ewood.

Today on the Rovers site.

Well we are favourites, just. The odds suggest the bookies don't really know which way this is going (or at least, after they've had betting in from fans they've weighted it so it could be seen as going any way).

That's exactly what I have heard.

Problem being the Bookies are rarely wrong.

Yes. According to the rumours he is the owners' eyes and ears on the training ground and in the dressing room.

The odds reflect weight of money. Rhubard and custard supporters are obviously feeling full of cash at the moment.

Taking cash for tickets in store, just got 3

I have heard before that he has been sacked and reinstated, on more than one occasion, so that's no surprise that and I believe we has the ear of the owners.

Let's hope so.

I'm too unlucky to risk betting on Rovers to win. When we balls it up I'd feel it was all my fault 😅 Those are generous odds for us to overcome a League One side at home though.

My heart broke a little when JDT left because I realised the football I'd seen under him was probably the best (at least in parts) that I've seen us play in a number of years. Pure joy. Jury's out on Ismael but you do have a point!

If he's better than Toth at 18 he's going to be the next Raya.

If you feel insulted by the odds, pile-on for a Rovers win.

That's from League One to the Championship though. I was talking about the increase in TV money for Championship clubs before the start of last season that you mention. Regarding the figure, I'll be honest, I plucked it from AI because I couldn't be bothered to look thoroughly. It's a little lower than I thought I remembered hearing (which was about 2 mill in my vague memory). But I do remember at the time of the announcement thinking it really wasn't all that much of an improvement all things considered. And if 40 million of sales barely touches the sides, neither will the TV deal sadly, under these clowns. Somehow we always seem to need to cost cut, no matter how much we have and no matter how much extra money appears.

If he's not better than Toth and Pears he's got problems.

Seemingly in the case of Lowe, he STILL hasn't!
