Most other clubs are trying to compete with a competitive budget. 

We're clearly just happy to survive and minimise the amount of money the Venkys have to put in every year. 

if you keep slashing the budget then you are going to get relegated,only way  to be competetive if you have no money is to be extremely savvy in the free transfers and loan market,which we ar`nt,i was brought up with rovers being skint,it did`nt stop us competing though,mainly because the club was very well run in every dept

[ElTwis]

Best case scenario here is CB is trying to add a few quid to his wages through an agent encouraging offers to force Rovers' hands.

 

Worst case (and significantly more likely I'd suggest) the offers have been submitted because the clubs are aware he wants to leave and, let's be honest, who can blame him.

[Bronzed A Donis]

I guess these players leaving just aren't as sold on 'the project'.

[rovers11]

Oh damn! As soon as other clubs start bidding for our players...we know there's only one result, especially when they only have one year on their contract. 

If we lose Brittain and Batth, it is a big blow.

I’d rather us have our key players tied down much before they enter into their final year, been going on for years now it’s become a joke. But hey ho welcome to Blackburn. 

That’s a good joke!  Best players tied down?!?!  Hahaha.

Losing Brittain would be a blow but I’d much rather see us get a few million quid for him then watch him leave for free in a years time. 

I agree. At least we can sign a half decent replacement, well in theory, but will be looking at free transfers if leaves for nothing. 

Drameh at Hull would fit the bill.

[Neal]

I wouldn't sell Derby a cold... If he's going, they need to be selling to Boro, even if it is for less cash. Eustace can get fucked, the lying fat prick.

we`ve just bought a right back,amazingly that one went through very quickly

5 things you might not know.... one of them includes the fact that he played a full game. 

That's just great.

[Neal]

A few folk gloating about us "spending money" need to wind their neck in and face the reality of how this club is run FFS.

[davulsukur]

Selling Brittain undoes any good work in the market so far.

Underlines the complete and total lack of ambition at this football club.

#VenkysOut

[simongarnerisgod]

all this complete lack of ambition and cheap signings can`t be good for squad morale,as a player you always want to play at a higher level not the other way round,bet they are all looking at the exit door and it`d be no surprise if more move out,especially the ones who can command a fee

[philipl]

So even without Swag and his mistiming equipment we are cocking up our transfer business.

Makes no difference. If we get money for a player it just means Venky's send less money for the gas bills. 

I'd rather keep him for a year and force Venky's to get their wallet out.

I'd rather him walk and those bastards not get a penny 

[sharpysharps86]

Oh dear.

Just when things were looking slightly better.

Can't imagine Brittain staying now that official bids have been lodged, unless he's really settled at the club.

Imagine if both he and Dolan end up at Derby. Pretty embarrassing stuff.

Eustace told us all he wanted his senior players to get new contracts but the club were refusing to discuss. That’s one of the reasons why he left - there was no forward planning.

But you stick with your bitter jilted-ex persona and get those rubber snakes ready for next year. Hisssssss. Hisssssss.

I'm 100% with you on this. We as fans need to remove logical football club rules from our thought process when we sell players. Selling players pays bills with crumbs left for replacements, that is a fact.

[JHRover]

Does anyone out there really believe the claim that we have been close to sorting a contract extension?

They're playing you for fools if so. 

Nixon and Jackson are pawns being used to hoodwink the fans. I doubt they know or care.

How did you feel about Rothwell and Brereton leaving for nothing ? Reality is the Venkys don't get a penny - they just need to put less in to keep us afloat.

[EgyptianPete]

So how many matches did Brittan miss last season through injury, Middlesbrough flatter to deceive, no chance they will go up, Derby the same, if he goes to either tam it is only for money probably not that much more.

Baath another year older, legs probably never going to be as good stamina wise, Weiman the same, yes they may be missed, however we now have some youth in the team, I would imagine 2 or 3 more players to come in, lets see how we do before all the doom eh.

[rog of the rovers]

I don’t think Middlesbrough are as attractive a move as they were a couple of years ago. Will be interesting to see how Edwards does, will he be the boss that took Luton up? Or the boss that all but took a Luton down two years later?

id be onto my agent to go higher than Boro and Derby if I was Cal.

[Bohinen1983]

Probably not tied the CM up yet because we've not yet flogged Brittain.. 

You neve know (you do) but this lad coming in might be even better..

Perhaps we're signing players that 'fit' the profile of how we want to play moving forwards..

Sometimes the collective equates to more than the sum of it's parts- something like that..

End of the day the club's fairly handicapped with relation to spending. Did Venkys ever intend on splashing big cash?  Was it not 5m a year and leases or something like that? Genuinely can't remember!

I don't really think we've ever spent- consider when we bought Rhodes and Best we'd flogged Samba, Kalanic and Jones as well as pushed loads of high earners (Emerton, Salgado, Nelsen etc) out the club..

VENKYS OUT! DO ONE!  

Those early days, sacking Big Sam etc- I just want them gone..

Brittain isn’t going for money. He’s going because he now knows the club has no ambition and is run like a shit show. The exact same reason Eustace went. 
 

When colleagues you work with and you like are forced out of the company you work for, you will start looking at your options. That’s human nature. The fact he can get more money will be a factor, but listening and dealing with Pasha and Waggot will be another. 
 

Run by clowns, expect a circus.

[AVE1875]

Yesterday... Signing 2 players and Brittain is signing a new contract... Signed one... Today, 2nd signing stalled and Brittain might be going Boro...

Don't you just love being a Blackburn fan.
