And it had nothing to do with the other 10 players ?

How many autographs do you think Hibs' Australian right back has had the chance to do so far?

So Early Bird Until Monday 4th is it thru the 4th or does it actually end in the 3rd cos Incan not get it to work except for the full 199 price.

For all that we still desperately need signings, I wonder if we are operating a one in one out policy. Will be interesting to see if Henriksson is only announced when we flog Buckley.

That’s a terrible and lazy signature……there’s no way that says Lewis Miller

I agree about the team, but I thought it a hammer blow to the club - a pointer to there being only a future of Coddingtons and Conlons, rather than any more Newtons. Brittain will be forgotten this time next year.

The pattern is always there because Pasha is always there. The links to the very earliest days of Venky's reign are still there. How is it that Gestede turned up from nowhere to shadow Waggott with a view to taking a senior role - with no previous experience? It's the same pattern. to quote Michel Salgado "‘I’m not surprised because the things that are happening are totally outside of football,’ said Salgado. ‘The decisions are made in a different way to any other club in the world."

At least as a full back it is only for 45mins!

So Kyle Walker, 6 times PL winner, Champions League winner, FA Cup etc etc is finished and a bad signing whilst Granit Xhaka, who pretty much failed in the PL, makes a team 6/7 places better? It’s a funny old world but I’m not so sure but we will see. My main memory of him was calamitous mistakes a couple of times a game. That said they have made some good signings so we shall see. I do think the promoted teams might have a better chance than recent seasons if Bournemouth and Brentford are as damaged as they appear but I still see us as clear favourites for the drop. It is becoming a real issue today that as a fan you regard promotion to the top flight with such ambiguity, wanting it but then dreading the coming season.

welcome lewis,your first test is the trial by jury from the riverside😁

Seems like a fair attempt to fill the void left by Brittain. Won't be as good of course but a 24 year old 6ft 2 Australian international. Let's hope he's half as good as his fellow countryman Lucas Neill. Seems on face value there are some similarities, one being a bit of a lunatic. He's a got a monster long throw apparently. Hopefully does ok for us.

Must disagree with you on that one. Keith had the versatility to play in midfield as well as a player who could operate on either flank at full-back. The season he left, in December, we had spent serious money on Allan Hunter, Ken Knighton and Brian Hill, in a bid to get promotion. We were challenging at the top of the table until Keith left and then results fell away in the second half of the season. Tried to fill the gap with a combination of Ray Charter, Frank Kopel and Laurie Calloway - all inferior players - and confidence seemed to be impacted by the loss of England's best right-back at the time.

I heard another name - female

Absolutely Ismael would have wanted to keep him and I don't think it's a case of the board not listening or wanting to keep Brittain, it's simply that the player wanted to go to a more ambitious, well run club that pays a higher wage. Under this current ownership, we're just not able to compete financially or operationally with ~80% of the other clubs in this league.

jenny from the blackburn end reception is now the clubs official photographer,the fellow who used to do it before was actually charging the club for his services,what a cheek,the rotter,pasha soon fired him for that heinous crime

Venkys are taking the payroll to Rotherham's level. Where are they now?

They may not take any notice of the coaching staff but they have history of taking notice of Football Agents !

In terms of RB downgrade it's not quite he who shall not be named freezing out Michel Salgado for Bradley Orr, but I hope this new lad is at least solid (and we buy someone with the money). Onwards and downwards...

Wtf is this picture about. He looks so weird. Have we got rid of our professional photographer now and brought in an apprentice?

Given that none of these players - Dolan, Brittain, Travis - are Premier League standard, only Championship clubs will buy them. But they cannot afford to pay the inflated price that a player with more than 2 years remaining can command. Would Boro pay £5m+ for Brittain?

nobody on the board can work that out,they don`t take any notice of the coaching staff thats clear,i can`t believe ismael wanted to sell brittain and get someone in who`s not as good

We still haven't replaced Szmodic 🤷🏻‍♂️

Please, please get up early and watch so that we can have a trustworthy report - otherwise we may have to wait a month for the minutes and they won't be accurate anyway.

Miller is a decent signing but he's not as good as the player he's replaced, so ultimately we're weaker now.

Do we think its Pasha or Rudy?
