I can picture it now...

Utter carnage and chaos behind the scenes.

Contracts and extension offers not accepted/rescinded

External bids for players accepted.

Players walking away.

No new incomings.

U23's expected to step up.

Hitting pre-season in the opposite position to what Ismael wanted. 

Disaster on the pitch awaits.

Would usually be about now that the club will feed something to Elliot saying we are "interested in x player" to try and get the fanbase talking about something else.

Cody Drameh, who I believe is a right back.

Knew it wouldn't take too long!

Apparently Rovers are competing with Derby & PNE for Cody Drameh, with Hull willing to sell at the right price

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25187227.blackburn-register-transfer-interest-hull-city-defender/

Competition & the "right price" presumably being more than £0 surely make this unlikely 

We're going to face a full summer of this sort of thing, especially with a relatively new manager and Gestede in place. Most of it is self inflicted due to our recruitment and contract policies. But we all know from experience that little of it will come fruition and we will be scraping around at the 11th hour.

The fact we seemingly want to keep both Batth and Weimann yet haven't got either over the line tells us where we are on summer business.

If we really do have an interest in Drameh then that points towards Brittain leaving 

Yeah... I mean if Venkys are really committed to balancing the books through player sales Brittain is one of the most likely sources to even begin to do that.

With Waggott getting potted I wonder of part of it was him letting probably around 26M of talent (BBD 15M, Dolan 5M, Rothwell 3M, Lenihan 3M?) leaving on a free in the last 5 years.

Maybe a bit harsh as the root cause is the Raos not funding new contracts but I guess Suhail could have thrown him under the bus.

Is that a bus we hired or bought ?

Brereton and Rothwell were down to the owners not allowing bids for those players to be accepted and reinvested.

Pretty sure he started out as a Centre mid.

Would be a class signing.

He didn't

He would be a decent signing as back up/competition for Brittain, but if he is Brittains replacement then it is a significant downgrade

He does have decent pace though
