Jake Batty is in the latest training photos (as spotted by Elliott Jackson), maybe he's signing up to a new contract

His agent is busy, busy....

A couple of articles today linking Coventry with a move for Travis, but it's surely shit as Grimes, Torp and Sheaf did an excellent job for them last season?

Too late 😁 - don’t you dare hit the hide button 😁😁

Please don't! A collaborative PM is fine. 😀.

Decent little ground that. I was there a few years ago and it still had a classic mid-terrace wall for pissing behind at one end. Happier, simpler times, etc.

Both in and out of the team, injuries, difficult loan spell already... Hard to see clubs queuing up, but if they knuckled down and kept fit them are good squad players. Suspect will be with us right up to the transfer window closes and then off to Scotland on loan.

Yep,just about keeps the Ewood lights on.

Additional court conditions… The club’s auditors have to provide a certificate confirming the use of the funds. Venkateshwara Hatcheries have to submit bank statements for both Venkys London and BRFC to substantiate the use (and final destination) of the funds.

How do they even police that the money can't be spent on transfer fees? Are we just not allowed to spend any money on transfers now? Or do we have to prove that we already had some money set aside for transfers and we cannot exceed that?

Boro have appointed Rob Edwards as Head Coach for the new season. Seems to be a fairly mixed reaction from the Boro fans that I've seen on Social media. https://www.mfc.co.uk/news/2025/june/24/rob-edwards-appointed-head-coach/

I think the rain will end up the winner today but getting some overs in Bumrah’s legs might benefit us later in the series.

£4.85 million for one quarter x 4 = very close to the much vaunted £20 million a year 🤔🧐

Perhaps we should do @K-Hod a list to take to the next fans’ forum 😁😁 I’ll make a start (and apologise for going so off topic at the same time 😁): Was the overdraft facility renewed in May and if so were the terms at least as favourable as before? Can you confirm that the owners now only have to return to court to send monies if they’re also seeking to vary the condition placed upon them to do so? During the period of the investigation, have the owners ever sought permission (either through the courts or directly with the Directorate of Enforcement) to send player purchase funds? (and if not, why not?)

Is 4.58 million not less than they would usually send at this time of year?

The Special A.K.A. - Free Nelson Mandela

That money is for staff wages and the club, not transfers

The outcome of that, would be interesting to know.

and also how they got on with renewing the overdraft facilities in May.

I'm sure someone else will see this as a business opportunity to purchase a former premier League winner at an opportunistic price🤗

I wonder how close they came to not meeting their liabilities?

Just to correct the LT’s error - the request was made to the court on the 22nd April, the 26th May was when the court issued the order granting permission.

For some reason, Dolan is held to much higher standards than anyone else , I mean it's almost as if some have made up their mind and trying to prove it, whatever next. With only 13 goal involvements plus being involved in many other build ups, plus being the hardest working player on the pitch, I'm sure we'll have no problem replacing him.

So, long as they booked it in advance and there is no riot act to be read, it should all work out well.

No chance. It's earmarked for running costs and the Venkys had to legally verify that. Wake up and smell the coffee!
