Astronomical Summer starts 21\06/2025. Sorry to dampen your anticipated excitement.

The likes of Tronstadt , Hyam , Pickering, Cantwell and Ohashi will probably see us safe. The season after will be horrendous.

Why do you buy a new TV or anything for that matter? Because of something being better? Absolutely.

Well, so much for Rudy suggesting this should be an exciting summer for the club.

load of codswallop.

Any bets that Boro appoint a new manager before we sign a new player

I can't help reading that summary and thinking it's quite sensible.

Where did you see that? Got a link?

It doesn't matter who says what or when. The fact is we haven't signed a first team/squad player.

It's not even that he's a green novice. He's clearly quite thick too.

In fairness to Chaddy… That article both quotes Ismael as saying he wants 90% by the first day of pre season AND as saying the trip is later in pre-season than usual so that 90% can be on it.

How many times have you read/heard people saying i'm not renewing until they show some ambition or spend some money ? And don't pretend you haven't for the sake of being pedantic that act has worn thin now. If you don't think making decent signings will drive more ticket sales then you are truly lost.

The usual pattern. You say early doors that we need x players in by pre season. You genuinely believe that each summer will be different. You then slowly go through each of the same reasons and excuses when that doesnt happen. You highlight other teams that havent done business. You ask which players that have gone elsewhere would have actually been good signings here. You say that Premier League teams are still evaluating their players. You say we shouldnt rush and its all about the quality, and to judge at the end of the window.

How many fans based on buying ST based on who we sign in the transfer market? Do you?

When the Venkys first went to court the reason for wanting the money sending was set out as the below: No mention of potential job losses, detriment to the team etc - purely ‘we’d lose all our money and people will think we’re useless’ - I find that very telling. Well, funnily enough (dickheads) you’re not getting your money back and people know you’re a bunch of incompetent buffoons. In summary, fuck off Venkys.

Oh stop it

What's starts?

I took it from this https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25130385.blackburns-pre-season-dates-explained-transfer-target/ that it meant by the Spanish training camp. I misinterpreted what was reported

He's said that from day one. The reason Chaddy etc are trying to make out that it meant by the pre season camp is because the know there's absolutely no chance of this happening.

Think of the compensation !

Stuart Parker is a good shout. I don't think it's Comstive.

We all now how this will end ! 3rd manager in a row to walk , probably before Christmas !

I'm presuming or should i say praying that the request for money for running costs is so the club can use some incoming instalment money to invest in a few players instead of all that going on wages etc. Otherwise we are up the creek signings wise.

According to this article, the manager wants 90% of his squad in place by pre- season in 3 weeks, not other dates being suggested by some posters on here. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25218452.blackburn-must-avoid-transfer-pitfall-three-examples/
