Blackburn worry about Gueye exit ReluctantNicko 16 minutes ago By Alan Nixon Blackburn Rovers are worried about letting striker Makhtar Gueye leave - and may block a switch to Turkish side Kocealispor. The forward has been unsettled by his lack of game time and would welcome a chance to play with a transfer. However the loan switch is now unlikely as Rovers would be left with just two senior central forwards and young Igor Tyjon. Both of their first choice attackers will have international duty in the coming months to add to the risk. And Tyjon is also playing for England youth sides as he is regarded as the best young forward around. However he is yet to start a Championship match and it would be too much to have him as a regular sub who comes on to save the day.

Maybe he has a Turkish idol?

eh? what are you going on about now? I've never said he was the best in the league but one of the best which my comments says. The best one is Coventry's right back but Brittain is one of the best in the championship

This hurts my soul.

Yeah...just like a few others hmmm

One for those who love squad numbers Taylor Gardner-Hickman is our new number 5, & Andri Gudjohnsen is 11 https://www.rovers.co.uk/teams

‘Chelsea do not want to spend the money and then risk being snubbed by the Government’. Why don’t they just pay the standard compo figure then before taking their chances re the visa?? Very odd.

Even Montgomery before O'Grady Macken who doesn't seem to be in the management's thoughts anymore.

Which of course would make sense But if that is the case, then they should have said when. https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2025/may/22/club-statement--steve-waggott/ And also, if he wasn't working his notice period, then who would be performing his role whilst he is on gardening leave As ever, communication & clarity from the club is 4th rate at best

We have a history of those , see where he ends up , when fit ?

We shouldn’t have to guess, they should have been clearer.

I don't live in the town, but I worked in Blackburn as a youngster during my college years, went to Blackburn college and went out around Blackburn almost twice a week for drinks (do I ever miss Barzooka). I've visited twice in the past 12 months to see a contractor and left immediately afterwards. Sadly the town is a mirror of the club as it stands.

Outside of Roberts and Bogle now both in prem dunne ranked highest in rbs standout performer and getting better won’t be at qpr much longer but he’s the overall picture is we will def miss Brittain

Have a look at Blackburn Market to how badly the town is run. The bakers have just left and we are very soon to be left with only one butcher when Tom Woods goes to Colne High St at a rent of 70% less than he pays at the market. I come to Blackburn for 3 things: the butcher in the market; the fish stall in the market; and Rovers. I never come to Ewood anymore outside of a game as the club shop is never open at the times I can make it. To be honest Blackburn as a town and a council is a complete and utter mess. It is about time the Council started to see how they can make it easier for folk to attend Ewood Park rather than penalising them.

I always assumed it was at the end of his notice period. I guess at his level he was on 6 months notice rather than 3.

Roughly translated as look we can only really pick shirt sellers so get yourself to a higher profile club so the FA can sell more England shirts with your name on the back.

Van Ewijk yes but jimmy dunne I don’t think he is and Pereira unfortunately for him is past his best due to injuries but was a top right back a few years ago

1000% the real problem lies at the feet of the owners, pasha and gestede and no manager can succeed under this regime but he’s seems a poor manager in my opinion. i also certainly won’t fall for the narratives from them I just don’t think he’s very good

RE Pereira, he may be first choice now that James Justin is plying his trade at Leeds. Although Choudhury has been ok there. Pereira missed the first couple of games of the season, but did come off the bench in the 2 games  before the international break, so maybe given the couple of weeks before their next game, he will be back in the side then? Too early to say that he isn't their first choice if/when he is fully fit In terms of pedigree, I would have Pereira above Brittain, it depends if his body holds out and lets him get back to where he was

Jimmy Dunne is definitely not better than Callum Brittain. Pereira has a far better CV but I dont think he is better now. Not a regular starter for Leicester anymore. Either way, we will miss Brittian and Alebiosu as encouraged as I have brrn by him will almost certainly not be at that level, it would be unfair to expect him to be.

The main instigator of that one was Capello, who apparently also told Bentley that he needed to leave Rovers to play for England "There were a few things to it. Fabio Capello had told me if I wanted to go to the World Cup, he wanted to see me at a club fighting for the Champions League," Warnock told Under The Cosh. Not to say that Nixon didnt also give him/them a nudge on the way out

Van ewijk Pereira Jimmy dunne

I remember him having a particular obsession with getting Steven Warnock out of the Club years ago. Cant remember if it was about Warnock specifically or just in general but I called him out at some point and he didn't like it. Got fairly abusive. Wonder if he ever found "Dan Williams". Probably riding around on Shergar with Lord Lucan somewhere.

I clicked like as a thank you for the update as I knew we had a Nixon Sunday Special incoming.
