That is one target that the will have hit.

So what ? Is there no phase two, did they not intend to sell anymore.

Season ticket phase 1 had ended before these stories came out.

It's affects alot of clubs. Blimey some clubs haven't appoint their managers/head coach or just sacking them in the Boro Carrick episode..

I think McEwans would object.

Season tickets sales nothing more nothing less. We have an absolute green novice in charge of the football now overseen by an utter penny pinching owners puppet so they think they are being clever playing the game. Waggot was an old hand a that so it's the same script but different voices and we still have half a small remaining fanbase who can't see through it.

I have little faith or expectation that the kits are going to involve anything that resembles a tribute to our 150th anniversary. The training gear certainly has no link to it. Fair enough if you like what they've produced but it really is just along similar sorts of lines to what they've churned out every year. I would have expected something there at least as a nod to the anniversary. I will be disappointed myself if the 'tribute' to the 150th involves an attempt at replicating the 1995 shirt or includes the Premier League trophy/Wainwright bridge. All too recent - the 150th is much bigger than just the PL win or a bridge they built nearby 10 years ago. I do find it really poor that at the very least they aren't rolling out a new club crest for this season. Even if they just added a '150 years' ribbon to the current badge, or used the coat of arms crest. Just something as a nod to the occasion. Shame but I suppose it just confirms the suspicion that any sort of effort or expense really is too much for them,

That's not the point. These were reported as "advanced talks" and nothing has happened in the two weeks since

Like i said are Venkys going to request extra money to the court for transfers then pay an extra 50% on top to buy a player because of the bond ? It's a non starter and seeing as you've brought it up transfer fees will not be an essential running cost to an English football club in the eyes of an Indian judge whose dealing with objections to money transfer by his own govts anti fraud and money laundering unit. That is 'investment purposes' not running costs not when they are telling the judge they need money for the academy which produces our players. This is the Indian court system not a European one they'll have very little grasp on anything pro football wise you are being way too generous in your assumptions. Considering every item they want money for has to be proven then when paid receipts provided just so they can get their bond back i doubt transferring money to another football club and players agents fits in. It's not happening, not that they are asking for that anyway.

Wouldn't surprise me him going there but won't he want to take Sweden to the world cup first tho? Can see Rob Edwards going there tho if I was Boro I would be looking at Stockport County manager Dave Challinor

Another excuse. Players having holidays must only ever affect this club. Weird.

We see. Expect couple in and nothing more I menton Sunderland paying 5m for him

Players are on holiday. Some movement has in the transfer market but it's minimal so far.

Last year I was asked by Fraser Read if I wanted to participate in helping gather feedback for the 150th kits. We had a great meeting at Ewood prior to a home game, I wrote up loads of notes/photos & sent them to Fraser. Shortly afterwards he left Rovers & all communication with that group ceased so I’ve no idea what will finally emerge frankly. The plan was for 3 regular season kits & a special edition shirt (like the 125th) for the anniversary. If it doesn’t happen like that…then somebody prevented it…

Our 1st match against Brighton & Hove Albion will be available to view next Wednesday evening - 11/6/25 https://youtu.be/lJr9RAo2Ef4?si=RBzNBpqRCaIfiWF6

A little while back we were asked if we wanted to represent Blackburn Rovers in the inaugural talkSport Cup quiz competition…it didn’t take long for us to say yes & we will update you with our progress in this thread. Representing Rovers will be @sasumner & @Herbie6590 so wish us luck as we try to salvage something from our season! All the matches will be available on talkSport’s YouTube channel here Wish us luck…⚪️🔵

Unless the contract is signed any news of "interest/talks/trying" is utterly meaningless coming from Rovers. Even then we don't have a great track record...

It looks like Mick Wood.

Posted this on the 22nd. Brittain "positive" contract talks and Sagnan in "advanced talks" lands on the 26th. Nearly 2 weeks later not another word uttered on either of them. All a smokescreen, nothing but predictable. Surely we all know how things work here now?

Could be this, could also be Swag was the one drip feeding transfer news to Nixon

Wasn't the Sagnan story the first real transfer break since Waggot left? To me shows the complete inexperience on Gestede...He probably had a chat with the lads agent and got excited!! Or has completely lied, to fool us all which is most probably the case.

There are two players between Glenn Keeley and Paul Round but only Tim Parkin is named, who is the missing player?

When we have no money to pay to keep the stadium adequately maintained and clean, there will be none for transfers in.

‘Look. We are a small club, pre Jack we only had 6,7k on!’ So did everybody!

It’s click bait, part of his job is to get people to read his stories by subscribing. It’s a bit silly to say he’s ’actively taking the piss out of fans’.
