Well I like Forshaw he's the bestest

On the plus side at least it's not a Downing situation again - where we dallied with his renewal, he missed all of pre-season and simply never got up to speed

We didn't want to pay him for an additional 7 weeks?

He wasn't piss poor, I thought he read the game quite well, but his legs have clearly gone.

Why do they keep Waffling on about this Belgian player.... 🙄🙄

Given access to the Rovers media archive I could easily put together a 10 minute lowlights clip for Calamity.

Wooooah there tiger calm yourself down you can't have champagne with your chippy tea mate settle it down yea?

batth and weimann can actually move about the pitch despite their age,forshaw`s leg have gone,that was blindingly obvious last season,15 minutes and he`s *******

You still here? Yes, I.e there’s no issue in us buying £7million young players as they’ll be on peanuts.

Totally underwhelming!!

"WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT?? WELL ILL TELL YA NEXT!!!" 😂

the way we operate,id`e say travis is going to be sold,garrett will be a starter and forshaw will be on at the hour mark,is it any wonder they put season tickets on sale extremely early🙂.at least they were cheap

The pitchforks are out but you’re right, he’s an experienced head in much the same way as Batth and Weimann. But, yeah, hardly inspiring but not the worst signing in the world.

The flex? Aka the higher wages you can offer someone over their contract if you don’t have to pay a fee?

We didn't want him originally, what's changed?

Forshaw signing back is underwhelming. He Still got the nod to see games out before Buckley and JRC. If both the latter are sold and another Midfielder comes in then I can see the logic. But this is Rovers

I think we are going to be relegated!

In isolation, Forshaw for an extra year isn’t a bad signing. He actually looked decent in patches late on in the season. He’s a good player to bring on as he’s composed on the ball. He also wasn’t half as bad as people made out and I’m sure with a good pre-season behind him he’ll look sharper still. The problem is if he is a direct replacement for either Trav or Tron. In that context it’s just another cost-cutting exercise, but on a an even bigger level of stupidity. We’ll see how the CM positions look at the end of the window to see the context.

We can easily offer estimates, or a view on the potential earnings those players can obtain here and elsewhere. All that stuff is readily available online. Like turnover to wage ratios, income levels, season ticket prices / numbers etc “Defending the club” is always the bollox that comes back when anyone offers anything that might be an external factor, like for example a player trying to maximise their income in a short career. Just read Preston’s chairmans recent comments; https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25245597.preston-chief-hits-unfair-issue-affecting-blackburn/ Thats not offering up excuses as to why our turnover is still dog shit, and not increasing enough due to a lack of decent backroom management. It’s not offering an excuse as to why managers walk out the door into teams in the relegation places.

even the lemons on facebook and the let can`t defend resigning forshaw,it`s an act of a club in it`s death throes and a confirmed indication that there won`t be any money spent on anyone i wonder if val is aware about it????

Classic Bizzle. Always has to announce his his return, then announces his departure straight after. How’s that flex going by the way?

Forshaw is actually younger than both Weimann and Batth. As a squad depth option on a cheap deal who will mentor/fill in, its not the worst. It isn't exactly inspiring though!

Lowest hanging fruit stuff. Truly tragic but totally expected. If they weren't still trying, and failing, to shift more season tickets it would be funny. They long ago gave up on any pretence of ambition or targeting quality signings so instead they're resorting to trying to exploit family ties/traditions as reasons for why people should hand over more cash to the regime.

Forshaw. What a fucking joke. Chaddy?

You asked me a question neither of us could possibly answer either way. We clearly arent offering competitive Championship wages for this to be a continued running theme. But the main issue is the lack of proactivity. Why are we still to offer actual contracts for players with such little time remaining on their deals? Why has there been an 18 month lull? Occasionally some players will outgrow us, but in that case ie Brereton and Rothwell, you have to sell and reinvest. Dolan, I think he would have signed had we been proactive. Now, not gonna happen especially as his stock has grown and his deal has been allowed to expire.
