Keep an eye out for certain journos linking him with one or more of: Boro, Sunderland, Birmingham and Coventry (if they fail in the play offs) this summer. I would add Charlton and Hibs too but won't, because they aren't seen as upgrades on Rovers.

It will be interesting to see where he ends up. Derby is an easy assumption to make. It might happen as it sounds logical due to the Eustace link, but let's see.

I think he'll end up at one of the mid-table muddle teams - QPR / Bristol City / Millwall et al on better wages than we offered.

Why do you mention them at all? Particularly Hibs

(Not having a go, just wondering)

I'm sure there will be people on explaining how Middlesbrough can offer him far more than we can because they're getting bigger gates. I'd like anyone who is thinking that to first calculate how many extra tickets they would have to sell to put a dint in the £30 million+ in cash we've received in the last 18 months from selling assets and why a small fraction of that can't be used to ensure our key players are under competitive long term contracts.

Good news for the slimeball stooges though, another contract avoided. We really haven't changed at all from the days of losing Rothwell, Lenihan and Nyambe have we? Despite all the talk, especially under Broughton, of ensuring such things never happen again we are right back at it under the stooges.

Latte Latthe - £22.5M

Isaiah Jones  - £5M

Morgan Rogers - £15M

Akpom - £10.5M

 

The previous season they sold Spence & Tavernier for more than £20M, and this summer Hackney will likely be sold for big money.  They rejected multiple bids for him in January because they could get a better price in the summer if they didn't go up (can you imagine not selling your star home grown midfielder at the sniff of the first offer?)

But unlike Rovers under Venkys, Boro have ambition & reinvest the money they recieve

Boro reinvest and despite bigger gates so bigger wages i assume Gibson still has to prop them up so they can reinvest in fees and and wages.

There's a downside to everything though as i reckon a lot of players go there purely for the wages they pay. If our lot were still putting money underwriting costs in then when unavoidable big transfers do happen a good wedge of that could be reinvested but oh no there's always a problem or excuse here.

On Facebook and a likely fake...

Sky Sports News: Tyrhys Dolan said a minute ago, “I’m not leaving, I want to stay at Blackburn Rovers to become a leader,” after turning down a huge contract offer from Man Uinted, Everton and two others big clubs to sign a three-year contract extension with Blackburn Rovers before…

Championship rivals leading the chase for Blackburn Rovers ace Tyrhys Dolan, talks have been held already

Championship rivals leading the chase for Blackburn Rovers ace Tyrhys Dolan, talks have been held already

Blackburn Rovers’ season is over with the club narrowly missing out on the play-offs, and they now look like they’ll lose Tyrhys Dolan to a Championship rival this summer.

It was an odd season for Blackburn, who started so strongly under John Eustace and looked nailed on for a spot in the Championship play-offs.

However, when Eustace jumped ship and joined Derby County, Rovers endured a rough transition under Valerien Ismael and slipped down the table rapidly.

A resurgence in recent weeks saw Blackburn on the brink of grabbing a top six berth on the final day of the season, but a draw to Sheffield United ultimately saw them miss out.

It’s another year in the Championship for Rovers, then, but they’ll have to do it all without star man, Tyrhys Dolan, who will leave on a free transfer this summer.

Middlesbrough lead the way in Tyrhys Dolan race

EFL Analysis can exclusively reveal via information from transfer expert Graeme Bailey, that Dolan, who is out of contract next month, is being courted by a number of clubs, but we understand it is Middlesbrough who are currently winning the race for his signature.

We are told Dolan will indeed move on at the end of his contract, and the highly-talented winger has already held talks with Boro chiefs about a potential switch.

Other clubs are keen, of course, but Middlesbrough are thought to be eager to get ahead of their rivals in the transfer market this summer to make up for the disappointment of missing out on the play-offs themselves.

We still don’t know for sure what will happen to Michael Carrick, whose future is in doubt, but Middlesbrough are nevertheless wanting to add more options to their squad, particularly in the wide areas, and Dolan fits the bill.

Tyrhys Dolan is a star performer for Blackburn Rovers

The signs have been there for Dolan’s departure already. Teammate Todd Cantwell hinted Dolan would move on through his Instagram recently, and Valerien Ismael admitted he’s worried about losing the player, too.

 

They’re right to be concerned, too. Dolan registered seven goals and six assists for Blackburn this term and was by far Rovers’ most dangerous and creative player across the campaign.

The former Manchester City academy star has stepped up to become one of the best players in the Championship this year, and at just 23-years-old, there’s so much more he can give, too.

Blackburn will certainly feel the loss, and given the situation behind the scenes at Ewood Park, it will be interesting to see if and how they can replace such a key player.

Blackburn Rovers ace is ‘confident’ for Sheffield United visit despite barren 21-year Bramall Lane record

Blackburn Rovers need to take three points against Sheffield United on the Championship final day to secure a play-off place despite their worrying Bramall Lane record.

Blackburn Rovers visit Sheffield United on the 2024/25 Championship final day on Saturday with a spot in the second tier play-offs on the line.

Valerien Ismael’s side have enjoyed an impressive purple patch of late, winning four on the spin heading into Saturday, sitting just outside of the play-off pack ahead of the final day hurdle.

Chris Wilder’s third-place side is hoping to spoil their play-off potential as the Blades boss eyes a record-breaking end to their regular season.

Ahead of the final day clash, Rovers ace Yuri Ribeiro has admitted the Sheffield United visit is “like a final”.

Blackburn Rovers ace Yuri Ribeiro admits clash vs Sheffield United is “like a final”

Blackburn’s Championship final day permutations mean they head into the Sheffield United visit with just a projected 12 percent chance of securing a play-off position from the OPTA analysts’ predictions.

Ismael’s side must beat the Blades, and hope for fellow top-six hopefuls Bristol City, Coventry and Millwall to draw their respective games against Preston North End, Middlesbrough and Burnley.

Ahead of the Bramall Lane visit, left-back Ribeiro told Rovers.co.uk: “We’re in a really good mood having won four games in a row,

“We’re confident and we know what to do. We have some really experienced guys in the team and I think we can really enjoy this game.

“The fans will be with us, I know that, and we’re really confident.

“I really like these kinds of games that can decide something. It’s like a final and the aim is to win.”

Dolan has grown on me over the season. I wasn't his biggest fan as he just frustrated the hell out of me, mainly offensively...Constant step overs, poor decision making, all without making any ground. 

I fear for Dolans future going to Boro...I can't see him getting as much game time there as he would for us...I totally understand why as he'll be on 3 fold more than he is here.

Clubs need to understand what he brings, I keep seeing "quick"..."Direct"...Although I think he's improved on the latter, he still can't really beat his man...There was an incident against Sheffield United in the first half when he held the ball up (like he does) and almost had a stand off with their left back, he went to shimmy past him but just got stepped into and lost possession. If Boro want a quick, out n out winger then they arnt getting that with Dolan.

They are getting Energy and someone who gives 100% but for me everything else is below par...With all of the above in mind and me being, maybe over critical, we will miss him...Would be good to get an out n out right winger though.

I think we would all be doing the same if we were him. None of us would be signing for this shit show if we weren’t fans would we. 

I'd do the same if I were him, frankly because of fans like the one who posted just above you. Gets far, far more stick than he deserves.
