Yes agreed... probably worth £250k a year at least for him to stay in the Championship. No one at the end of their career, when you are literally talking about two or three years, walks away from that amount of money.

The Only Ones - Another Girl, Another Planet The best intro ever committed to vinyl.

The friendly is on Wednesday later this week, he wasn't in the squad for a league game at the weekend. Not sure yet why he wasn't involved, but seeing as it is a loan with a view to permanent, I won't personally prefer it if his loan wasn't great and he ended up back here Players learn by playing, and learning from mistakes, O'Riordan should be left in league one for the full season (barring us having a injury crisis), and brought back next season

I don't buy this at all. Who in Norway is going to pay him what he could earn in the Championship at another club? I'd be amazed if he goes back to Norway in the summer.

Not even as squad filler in Duru's case it seems. What's going on there? Not in the matchday squad but in a friendly tells me he isn't injured, unless he has only just come back from one and they're easing him to fitness. Otherwise he has played a whole 2 games for them and then become surplus to requirements. Great for his development. If O'Riordan isn't ready to handle Paul Mullin then I'd suggest he isn't ready for the Championship yet. It could be a good learning experience for him though, but I don't know if I'd be in a hurry to recall him in Jan unless he progresses more by then.

Sorry for your loss SC. If there's such thing as a 'happy death' it sounds like your mum experienced one. Also, its the order of things mate. We are meant to outlive our parents. Hope your family can take comfort in the fact that your mum and dad are reunited. Take it easy pal.

Same as last year.

Three Days' Grace - Another Relapse

37 points will most likely be enough to avoid relegation. Parker's thinking is that if I can nick 1 here and there off the big boys and get 3 points in their "must win" fixtures Burnley will have a chance of staying up. It's a tricky spot to be in. Parker's job is to manage a football team an ultimately stay in the division. If he does that he'll keep his job, get more money, and perhaps move on up either with Burnley or elsewhere. If the football on offer becomes pragmatic and dare say it, boring, fans will get agitated. As you say, finding the balance is hard. I think Parker is on the right track. Bore the life out of the big boys and do whatever is needed to stay up. A second Premier League season is more likely to beget a third.

No the "fixation" is on what seems to be Suhail and Gestede's dumbing down agenda and the fact that we will be here again in less than two years. Endless fresh start syndrome....

Will be interesting to see how they play in the 'must win' games against their fellow relegation contenders. They were hardly 'entertainers' last season despite co-walking the league with Leeds. I guess you have to play to your strengths - particularly if the alternative is Kompany / Martin style! The problem with the ultra-safe style is that, at some point, elements of the fanbase will want to see more entertaining football (as we saw here with Allerdyce), and then the club has to decide whether to take the risks. I used to doubt that the smaller clubs could survive any other way but the likes of Brentford and Bournemouth have shown it can be done by good - flexible! - coaching and mixing up your play to suit. You don't need a 'philosophy' - just know the game and how to adapt, as Frank and Iraola seem to do. Your point about the money is a good one if we are to believe what we are told about the financial position over there in Yorkshire.

The BRFCS Law of Entropy: every thread, over time, descends into posters arguing with Chaddy. While the budget has clearly been cut, I’m struggling to believe that our road to the promised land was going to be paved with improved 4-year contracts for Travis, Dolan and Hyam, plus Ba’ath and Weiman creaking another season out.

One swallow doesn't a summer make but obviously to you clappers one good win justifies everything that has gone on. We'll revisit this in a few months and see if genuine concern is indeed misplaced or being a mushroom wins the day.

I wonder if something like this would work with Cantwell dropping deeper? Toth miller carter Wharton Alebiosu Hedges Cantwell Tronstad morashita Ohashi Gudjohnson I thought we looked decent when we changed system to hold on on Saturday, could be useful against the better sides?

Almost as though between April and summer he concluded that staying here beyond next summer was no longer an option. Perhaps linked to the fact the club has been unwilling to extend any senior contract and has sold off everyone else of quality.

Sorry for your loss

These are the same players you'll be hating on in a couple of years when they leave for the same reasons as those this summer, by the way.

Perhaps Tronstad does want to go back to Norway. If that is the case, maybe just maybe we should be trying to persuade him to change his mind.

Tronstad's interview was Summer 2025 with Norwegian media https://www.brfcs.com/forums/topic/37711-2025-summer-transfer-thread-😂/page/413/#findComment-2735208

Are you saying it's an act of disloyalty to criticise your Club? Even when its in the wrong? That's just plain stupid.

Sondre Tronstad makes Blackburn Rovers contract admission | Lancashire Telegraph This interview. April 2025. Yes I will blame the club. They are responsible and the one constant in years of shambolic activity.

Pointless asking questions at the Fans Forum. Even if they answer them we have good reason to believe that they won't be genuine honest answers and even if they are won't be accurately minuted so that everyone can read them. I have zero interest in whatever fanciful figures you want to throw out there for what we spent in the summer. I do not for one minute accept or believe that we spent that amount and whatever we did spend was comfortably covered by what we brought in. Some might call that astute, but if it means we finish 10 places lower than last year where's the benefit? Venkys could send money over, they chose not to. Choice. Difference being the owners of Wrexham, Derby and Middlesbrough were willing to put money in.

ignorance is bliss tbf well i hope Saturday's win eased some of your misplaced anxiety

Let's focus on that and ignored we moved on and fixated on our players not players who gone
