Clean sheet today, Toth’s value rising if he’s now an international first choice keeper.

And hopefully that't the last we'll see of Pears. Glad he's locking down his position.

As opposed to playing his whole career with Rovers?

As opposed to getting him to sign a new contract at the going rate

Fair enough. I just find it annoying when, of everything there is to be angry about, people are upset at the prospect of a player being sold, especially someone we've brought in from an obscure league mainly to make a profit on him in the future!

I do not think that it is the sales that people get upset about, its that with proper contract management, most sales are either completely avoidable, or we would be able to ask for much higher fees, which could then (in theory at least) lead to us having more to invest on improving the squad.

The frustration comes from trying to save a few pennies in the here and now by not attempting to renew contracts until the last minute, or offering derisory wages (when compared to our rivals), which in turn leads to panicked sales (with a year left on the players contracts) for a relative pittance

That theory left Ewood a long time ago.

You don't generally buy goalkeepers with the prospect of making a profit on them. They rarely change hands for high values. Any profits in question are usually small compared to profits from spending similar amounts on outfield players.
