Valérien Ismaël: Blackburn Rovers Head Coach
chaddyrovers replied to DE.'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
So are did buy Gudjohnsen, Tavares, Morishita for around £2m each then add other signings..its around £10m. Original budget as £5m wasnt it? Yes we sold players for more but still committed to 10m Yes we are cost cutting in other areas as previously mentioned like in pitch, stadium repairs and up keep, basic and boring food and drinks served. -

We only needed to get through another 10 mins of the Ipswich game though. With covers or proper machinery, that game would have finished. -

Assume he's over there chucking other people under the bus. We know he'll be under absolutely no pressure from above, it'll never be his fault. -

I dont class Forshaw as a signing. Forshaw and Montgomery are Tronstad's back ups for me. -

It wasn't raining much during the game last night. That's why the pitch was fine. During the Ipswich game it rained incessantly through the first half and even heavier during the second. The pitch couldn't cope with that. Nothing to do with Lancs CC equipment IMO -

I agree, I think if everyone was available for selection, then we have a really decent XI and a much stronger bench than Ismael is currently having to work with. -

We did neither. We've been cost cutting like feck for the last few years, feel like you'd have noticed? -

Tbf most transfer fees are a reflection of the maximum possible commitment over a number of years if various add ons are met these days. Chaddy likes to crow about the fact we "spent" £10m in summer. We probably did, but he doesnt like it pointing out that in reality we had a negative net spend of around £2m after we selling £12m worth of players. -
Rovers's January transfer needs
chaddyrovers replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
feck me, it was very simple question and yet you won't answer. Maybe you think about your actions next time you throw your toys out of pram when complaining about others not answering questions, 3 or 4 new signings is realistic with 2 or 3 leaving, so centre back signing, right wing back signing, striker signing and long term Tronstad's replacement with players like Gueye and Pickering leaving. Neither starting or rated by Ismael too much -

10 Million spend?...you are having a laugh Chaddy. -
Yea he's probably touched the ball about 30 times but he could come good for us and ypur right looks big and strong in the air. Hopefully he can push on for us and turn out to be useful

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it of course. Yet here we are sat in 20th. So obviously something is going wrong somewhere. -

There is no way they spent around 10 million pull your head out of the clouds i think the next accounts will tell a truer picture of around half that spent. Around 10 million in fees maybe committed over time including various add ons but not spent. -

RevidgeBlue replied to Elrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Im not going to get drawn into alleged technical differences between central midfielders but if we needed a back up "number 6" or direct Tronstad replacement and don't have one perhaps we should have signed one? I wasn't even referring to Henriksson, we signed Forshaw, Tavares, Baradji and TGH in summer. -

I hope you are right but 5-7k is still a lot of people I see Bristol rovers play at the mem and they are now relegated yet still get 6k each game at home Tues sat. It’s a lot of people it’s astonishing that we have fallen so low but in reality for it to be noticeable 7k turning up doesn’t seem to raise an eyebrow with the media -

chaddyrovers replied to DE.'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The imbalanced in the summer is in 2 areas which is right wing back and centre back areas. centre midfielder areas we are well stick but injuries has had impact. But we also need to factor in moving to 3-5-2 formation has improved results. We spend around 10m this summer and reinvest money from Sales. How we choose transfer targets is question people will continue to ask. some signings will be good and they get praise and other won't and they get criticise for -

That's the horrible reality for most of us who dont have our Heads in the Sand. A few away losses and we fall like a Stone.Our survival on a Razors edge. -

Im not sure Id agree, there were so few on last night it was really noticeable. I think we're nearing the stage, if not already at it, where there's already an unofficial boycott by virtue of people having voted with their feet. Without the need for an official boycott to be called. Whether or not it was a one off reaction to the Wednesday postponement we'll have to wait and see but either way I think they'll be shocked at ST renewal figures next season. -

Last season we had travis and tronstad with Buckley on the bench and rarely used If people can’t see the downgrade of our squad due to the owners then they deserve to waste their money and go to the ground and watch us struggle -
