Edwards would be crazy to take that Wolves job especially with Boro chasing promotion and looking decent. Wolves's job isn't an attractive one for me. Need major signings there in January to stop getting relegation or money to spend.

Exactly, JE's instructions shoot at every opportunity he will buggar up at least one. Heartbroken for Toth.

Does it get us past the January window?

I was thinking similar due to the way he just pulled up. Let's hope plug head sees it as a chance to get his shirt back and puts in some inspired performances. I won't hold me breath though. Wharton out too, Carter also making the decision to let Hyam go look as a stupid as we all knew it was. Not fancying Saturday at all now.

Finally got to watch the game. Good 1st half decent 2nd with some dodgy spells but we never eeally looked uncomfortable. Now I have not been a big fan of Miller but he had a very good game tonight MoM for me. Another incompetent referee so.e complete misses and phantom calls, one for a goal kick that should have been a corner if he can't see that he should not be reffin. I will leave it at that. Morishita needs a goal, I like Ohashi he is always in the wars and needs to be offered so.e protection by refs following the rules of the game. How bad is Toth cos Pears only action tonight was to kick the ball into touch and yes his hair looks stupid. Kind of dreading Saturday now, can we get special permission to play the legends?

I did say similar in the Leicester thread, 6 points could have been 1 with Pears but he’s had decent runs of form before so we just have to hope he has a good few months

Hes also got history with Wolves. Big pay rise, instant Premier League football, little expectation of survival and even if they go down theyll have parachute payments and be favourites to come back up.

Well he's got 3 months, we have no other choice than to wish him all the best---for our sakes and his. God job we didn't get rid of him in the window which I think was the plan.

There may be other solutions for short sleeves…take it into a local seamstress 😉 The challenge is having to hit minimum production runs in two designs.

Love the quarter shoulder wrap

Can only be long surely

Another beauty from 1905/06 presumably in slightly lighter Cambridge Blue.

You're going to be getting me in trouble for buy all these bloody Rovers shirts. +1 here. Short sleeve? I know the originals were long sleeve but this style is a really good summer shirt.

Yes I would buy something similar to that shown on the picture of Crompton. I very rarely buy shirts these days but was hoping to get the anniversary shirt as a one off. However I wouldnt even have that white monstrosity (which doesnt even represent Club Colours) as a gift. You could do far worse than reproduce faithfully that first known strip from the Alexandra Meadows photo in 1878. It's quite quirky with the different coloured sleeves, the correctly proportioned Maltese Cross and the small numbering on the front of the shirt. And of course blue and white halves.

You wouldnt reproduce a picture with a bloke in it who was never actually the groom either.

He did score one of the best goals I've ever seen at QPR! If that was by a Premier league player it would be shown endlessly.

On Hedges. He’s far from a world beater but I don’t share the very negative slant adopted by some posters. I share the view of each of our last 4 regarded pro manager/coaches Mowbray JDT Eustace and Ismail who undoubtedly trust/ed him to do the team player job that he never appears to shirk.

Shows how easy it is to con people, (initially at least) From what I can see Plainfield Asset Management was set up in 2004 to manage funds of other people's money. Whether the Company itself had any actual intrinsic value, or connection to the person purporting to be Dan Williams, or potential involvment in a Rovers takeover ,who knows, but in any event as I posted earlier they were declared insolvent and wound up in 2013 and as early as 2008 (when negotiations were still supposedly ongoing) they were deemed "93% illiquid" and investors were barred from taking their money out.

There's a few different possible variations of him "existing". a) He actually was Dan Williams an American Businessman who was genuinely minted and who could afford to take over the Club but who backed out of any deal because the terms weren't right for him. b) He actually was Dan Williams an American businessman but someone who in reality didnt have a pot to piss in. c) He was someone who for a laugh invented the persona "Dan Williams" - lifelong Rovers fan hailing from Lytham St Annes turned American multimillionaire (who no-one's ever previously come across or heard of) - and invented any personal link with potential backers some of whom might have existed. I can't decide between b) and c) myself but I'd be incredibly surprised if it was a). Still not a scrap of info about him on the Internet to this day apart from the alleged attempts to take over Rovers and the Rhinos neither of which came to fruition Going back to Nixon (which was the original point) he backed this bloke like he was Shaikh Mansour even though he was almost certainly b) or c). Which again leads to suspicions that he is open to promoting agendas for cash, however vacuous they may be.

You'd assume Wolves wouldn't have made a formal approach unless they'd been given an indication Edwards is interested. Not sure if he has a release clause or whether Boro can reject Wolves' advances irrespective.

Yes---they talk to each other and our player finds out he's earning way less than anyone else!

I think he was part of the group looking at buying Rovers but he wasn't the main finance guy and its was financial institutions being the main backing and I think their wealth went due to the 2008 financial crash. I think @philipl has more info as I seem to remember having a conversation about him previously FORMER Blackburn Rovers vice chairman Walter Hubert today insisted Daniel Williams is the right man to protect Jack Walker's legacy. Dan's the real deal | Lancashire Telegraph MAJOR American investors Plainfield Asset Management are today revealed as the big-money partners of Blackburn Rovers takeover bidder Daniel Williams. The company is based in Greenwich, Connecticut and have about #2.5 billion already tied up with businesses in the States, including a massive stake in top racecourses. They were formed just two years ago by a financier called Max Holmes, who has quickly completed a handful of top deals. A two-man delegation from Plainfield were in England last week to meet Blackburn chairman John Williams and hammer out the deal as Dan Williams's business partners. ROVERS: THE MAX FACTOR - World News - Mirror Online I also spoke to him via Email.

I (as another former marketing professional) agree. The 150th anniversary is the anniversary of our founding, not of all the bits inbetween. It’s a celebration of what happened 150 years ago, just like a wedding anniversary is a celebration of the wedding day. If, to pick a completely random example 🙄, the groom had a moustache at the wedding 40 years ago but shaved it off a couple of years later, looks better without it and virtually everyone only knows him without it, that wouldn’t justify airbrushing it out of the wedding photo reprinted for the occasion.

Pay rise, opportunity to save a team in trouble, better squad and probably assurances that he will get to rebuild in the championship. Would be foolish not to at least consider it.

seems a pointless move for Edwards. Wolves squad need massive investment in January in order to stay up, Not sure its a wise move for him. or for any promising head coach. Its a job I wouldn't be rushing taking it
