I really doubt some of those figures. If Dolan was really only on £3k a week I am sure he would have signed a new deal as I guess we would have offered around £8k to £10k. For him to hold out I think he must have been on more than that. And I doubt Markanday who we paid a significant figure for and was highly rated at Spurs would have come for £2k a week. I am sure a lot more than that. Woodrow on 20k just doesn't seem right to me either. But I get these are all estimates, and you are just trying to build up a rough picture. And love how you have done it - always good to see some actual maths!

Surely going to be one of the worst signings of the summer. Not even rivalry bias, just the way I see it. He was starting to look fairly woeful in top level teams. Where his attacking strength should still shine. He's always been suspect defensively. So, in a team that is more likely to be on the back foot than attacking the final 3rd, can't fathom this one at all. Mix in his waning pace, the distraction of his off field antics, and it looks a recipe for disaster imo. Feel free to come back at me in 6 months if he becomes a Michel Salgado. I'm quietly confident.

Crazy

Shame we had to let Speedie go as part of the Shearer deal…

I agree with you on Warhurst and I think Sutton was equally versatile. He was even a county-standard cricketer!

If we are to believe reports, there was a Hungarian midfielder who chose Portsmouth over Rovers last week

Pompey want to improve and get better, we dont.

No I don’t get seven TV games kicking off at half 12 either, can you explain the rationale?

I can see us front runners on the Sunderland player who had impressed for Hibs. Us and Pompey linked, surely we are above Pompey? 😅

What the feck have they got Players wearing our Shirt when they have not signed yet..just stupid!

Pretty sure it's just an AI run account the crap on it is relentless.

Means nothing Mercer. Links or mentions square root of nothing. We know we bid for Kapuadi and Badarji rest we don't.

Not sure what age groups these are, pictures look like either U16s, U15s, U14s maybe. Rovers have 2 teams participating at 2 age groups (junior & minor - whatever they equate to) https://supercupni.com/team/blackburn-rovers/ From the above link, it looks like they have played a few games, can only see one match report though, from a 4-1 win against Crewe earlier this week

Easy enough to do with a paid AI subscription.

Well game one is fast approaching, nothing new on the horizon. Is this ot for us or will we back some late flops or will we bag Lamine Yamal....

This RoversXtra person really has to much time on his hands. I have seen posts of many links from him where he actually mocks the player up in a Rovers kit with a backdrop of Ewood. On this one he is using last season's kit too 😂. Strange behaviour.

Would the player his agent and the selling club not be kicking off if we flew him all the way over here after agreeing a fee and then we turned around and started to try and alter the terms of the deal? And surely if no issue with his medical wouldn't him or his agent release some sort of statement denying it?He wants a move away

We're very good at being at the back of the line for players, I'll give them that.

Working his notice?

You still don't get why there is 7 league games from 3 leagues do you? You just keep going on and on. Why don't you take stand against it and don't watch any of them?

How much is liquidity ? Also they don't put it into Rovers so do they put it back into the core businesses or just borrow more ? To be fair their company credit rating as off last year was still strong but carries the warnings about the volatility of their market, the rise in costs AND it mentioned them still having fund a massive loss making foreign entity ! Oh and the seizure of assets. So owning and funding the football club is now potentially having an impact on their main business if not their overall personal wealth. They've stopped funding it but won't stop owning it.

Still employed

That is not going to happen and despite Rovers and extravagant birthday parties, the "kids" plus Mr Desai have done much better at managing and growing their inheritance than Jack Walker's heirs have with their's.
