Blackburn make bid for Brazilian playmaker Ronaldinho Who remembers this? I do....and also remember thinking what on earth is going on. Some of these actual BBC quotes are, well, bonkers. Knew then we were doomed...... And Desai added: "The impression is I've never watched a football match. I've not watched in a stadium but I have been watching the World Cup in India. "I have watched hundreds of cricket matches but not live - it's all on TV. To say I don't have any knowledge would be wrong. I am a good listener. http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/shared/img/o.gif 606: DEBATE I'm beginning to like the idea of having a world class player at Ewood ilovejasonroberts "The fans have to trust us and give us some time and you will see for yourself that we are sincere people, very passionate about the football team and football club and our fans. We will not let you down." Desai also told Sky Sports News that they were looking at a couple of other players. "We're thinking of getting Damien Duff back," she said.

At the end of the day, gates will be determined by success or lack of it on the pitch, regardless of how many have bought season tickets. Having a debate about ticket prices may while away a few hours but we won’t know if we are getting value for money until the season starts.

Losing out on targets to the mighty Oxford now 😂 Venky's are the gift that just keeps on giving.

There are FIFA ones but he’s too old for those.

rovers fans were confident it was maradona in the fernhurst,eating a ploughmans with a pint of thwaites smooth😅 don`t think oxford is high on keersmaekers wish list,he`ll be aiming higher than that imo

Oxford fans are confident it's him.

looks like a random bloke in an oxford park to me🙂

Yeh that looks like him. Let's get the popcorn ready when Travis is sold and replaced with Liverpools 5th choice kid on loan.

It’s still on track to be then, aye. Pre meet is tonight, which I unfortunately can’t make, but other forum members will be there, I imagine.

One to strike off the list.

I think there are either UEFA or FIFA guidelines on compensation, but they are pretty minimal

‘… will not get much compensation’ - surely if he moves abroad we’d get no compensation.

Theres no way that those wage estimates are right.

Nothing would surprise me with what they do and don't pay but i think that above estimates are just crazy guesswork in a lot of cases. If not we are seriously being run by some agents again who must have the directors in their pockets.

If people want to buy a season ticket so be it. If people don't want to buy a season ticket so be it. But don't whinge about your decision later on.

It looks like it is close to 80k that they are saving on those players. I've seen the following site mentioned by a few neutrals as being the most reliable when it comes to player wages: https://www.capology.com/club/blackburn/salaries/ Assuming the above is correct, Brittain and Batth are already on 10k a week. If the whisper about a self imposed 10k a week limit is true, then we can see why Batth and Brittain haven't signed new deals so far. Forshaw has come in and is on 10k according to that, whilst Travis is supposedly on 3.4k. It has often been said that they have a different wage approach when it comes to Academy products. Dolan on £577 a week sounds ridiculous for a Championship first team regular, but it is believable under this setup.

As long as we can take it mate. We have to outlast them scum in India, sad thing is I don't think I will kive to see them gone.

They can't be trusted to tell the truth on pricing anyway. Last season they promised that midweek fixtures at Ewood would be capped at £20 for adults under Category C. Then Sheffield Wednesday came along so they put it at £25. Lesson to learn is they will just make it up as they go along, pointless planning anything with this lot.

I am just waiting for the Cantwell to Derby scoop to come out.

Brother .... i deeply respect your posts and for me all rovers fans are brothers in arms..even when we agree or when we agree to disagree .. but WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING ? lol.... these chicken chingas has been nothing but skint when it come to rovers starting from the infamous interview of leasing players in 2012.... for everything to even ground management to sponsers to corporate offers ... no1 penny pinchers... i even have reason to believe our drop to championship was a plan as this is the perfect milking spot... We are the only club who dropped from PL and not once reached playoff since dropping from PL and with numerous times falling off exactly dec-feb but miraculously win promotion from L1 on first try... this plot is unrealistic for movies but it's our miserable story

Did they agree on a mid July date for the next one? I want to read them crowing about ‘heading towards 9,000 season tickets sold’, ‘larger revenue than Preston!’
