Nixon in 2 days time ‘exclusive’ Cadamerteri deal a no go

Nixon reckons we're putting in another bid for Bailey Cadamarteri

Best post of the night

I disagree with that, as many people go to Ewood for many reasons and the owners are not one of them. We need minor protest sustained over a long period for me, get our plight back in the media, then mass boycotts per games if possible. I speak to lots of people from across the footballing spectrum and the response to me being a Rovers fan is always: ’Are you still owned by the chicken lot’ - Oh yes!!

Very excited to hear more about this!

Desperately need a striker. There’s another L1 striker Rovers should take a look at. 22 yo, 8 goals and 4 assists in 22 matches. Name is Harry L….. wait a minute….

If £600k gets you a DeNeve I’d rather it was spent on the women’s team.

Bryan Hyland - Sealed With The A Kiss

I thought they had occasionally put interest on some smaller loans ?

I missed this post earlier but I don’t know if that is the only benefit is the truth. Everybody knows they have lost money, the accounting principles are just an aside. The VH Group must just be ok with it. The only alternatives are that they genuine believe they can get promotion and then pay themselves a whopping amount back, or they think somebody somewhere is daft enough to pay it when purchasing the club. I just don’t understand why they do own us. Really I don’t. It’s absolutely true that wiping the debt will lower the value of VH Group as a whole. Whether that is actually felt is another matter. And given that BRFC is loss making, any recent investment in Venkys will have already factored that in. It is hardly an overnight thing Cash flow is what matters most. The accounting principles are just that - principles. So long as Venkys pay the bills and remain solvent, and so long as they continue to affirm commitments to the EFL that loans will not be recalled or interest applied, then this situation can really be forever. There’ll be a limit to the debt that the EFL will accept. Maybe that conversation has been had Theres no transparency in accounts really. We can talk of the rules but the numbers really show what the group wants you to see. Call me cynical but it’s my opinion Cash flow is the way to hurt Venkys. Being billionaires, that’s a tough ask I firmly believe that when Venkys decide to sell, it will be preceded by a debt write off. Now this may be similar to the Venkys initial purchase - all at once on purchase and so we will lack foresight - or they may do it in advance and signal a come get me plea. Hopefully it’s the latter so we can get a bit excited about it all for a while. Either way, that money is gone in their eyes

It's something that just doesn't resonate with the outsiders running and owning the club. Just look at the PNE ticket prices for a start, they really don't deserve support pulling the strokes they do in a town like this.

Matchday 29 Summarised Read the full article on the front page and let us know your thoughts.

Ultimately we need to build up to a boycott of season tickets, although this could well happen naturally.

Wonder how stubborn Ismael will be with the formation he stumbled upon. We can easily play four at the back with Alebiosu given the license to go forward and the left back more defensively oriented like Cashin, Ribeiro or Pickering. Then Cantwell can play from the left, or Jørgensen. Priority has to be striker.

They're buying players for L1. He would be the next Richie Smallwood.

Bailey sounds like a decent signing, though presumably a downgrade on Tronstad. I still have hopes for Garrett as a DM, he looked so good under JDT but injuries have been an issue for his progress. Cleary was always a non-starter once the 5 mil tag was set, even prior to injury, but as others say a ready made excuse. I would hope to bring in two players before deadline, even for us. Striker on a permanent and maybe a wing-back on loan if we can swing a deal like Cashin somewhere.

Club sources have shot that claim down apparently. Barca can't afford him right now.

I was thinking of the need to raise the readies!

We aren’t getting both I don’t think and if we are to only get one through the door for me it has to be a striker but I agree we need both

A left wing back is essential, not an if we have room situation. We dont have a player suited/good enough to play that role. Whereas if we want to play 4231, we are 2 or 3 wingers short.

Take a bow my friend

Yes had a quick look there 27 seems highly thought of there at Doncaster (scored tonight) could well be a nice pick up but again for what we need ‘now’ I’m not sure how/why this should be considered a number 9 should be the sole focus and if there’s room let’s say Ribiero/pickering both go then a lwb

Reading his stats kinda gave me the feeling of a JRC that wasn't constantly injured.

Yeah he also said athletic and ours are slower than tectonic shift.

Would fit in lovely for Val he stated openly he likes his players to be versatile
