Cant a sign on bonus that would compensate the player for his exess wage demands be used?

I've seem many a trailer for films that look great but are utter shite when I see the whole thing.

Surely they could have many other PL games to go to for entertainment unless they pissed someone in the hierarchy off. "I'm not happy with your attitude, you'll be watching Stoke for the season"

Exactly Simpson episode I was thinking 😄

He's definitely more well rounded.

This happens at a nightclub too as the night goes on.

We'll have cold fusion before we have a remotely like for like replacment.

Think I'd take those 50 at the moment.

Maybe but I'd still rather be 10th in the Premiership than in the bottom of the Championship. You are quite correct about Venkys (I have never been a fan, bought the Banned By BRFCS shirt instead of the Pune Army one) and perhaps they were worried that they wouldnt be able to pocket as much. Thieves are always suspicious that others are stealing from them - this is not directed toward you. Coincidently Sams first game, and victory 3-0, was against Stoke.

I said a long time ago that the Venks sacked Sam purely because he wouldnt be a yes man and still feel the same. I cant recall a manager since that really challenges my opinion.

Nope I was in the desert. I do remeber him steadying a sinking ship previously helmed by Paul Ince who just beat the Hell out of us. I would also argue that we have been in a downward spiral since his sacking (which coincides with our takeover) which at the time was explained, by our owners, that it was due to bad transfers. If we can judge his tenure on one game against Man U, I would argue that losing to a team managed by Paul Ince is far worse. Didnt Man U win the title that season?

Great that we're selling him... Know that it's necessary so he doesnt go for free but Lord, what are we going to do? Find it hard to think we'll get someone in quickly enough. Wars have been won in the time we get transfers in.

I got the feeling that teams would rather not play us when Sam was in charge, get the feeling they look forward to it at the moment. You have to make yourself hard to beat before you should anything else. Sams football could be ugly but it was tough and ugly.

Big Sam tactics time.

Very aware but I can't believe for a minute that people actually believe that. Regardless you know it's going to hurt bad or kill you, still cant stop it.

Sounds like he's fitting in perfectly.

You know what to expect if you get hit by a rifle round but you cant stop it coming when fired at you.

Inagine with our best player gone too.

If this were true Gillian Anderson would be making me eggs this morning.

Literally every manager we've had for the past decade, the latest one included.

I hereby award you The Golden Chady for your unrelenting optimism in the face of adversity. Your unwaving dedication to good cheer reflect the highest standards of support for Blackburn Rovers and the Football Association.

I miss Emerton and Savage. You never knew when they might do something rash, it was like added suspense. When Emerton was coming up behind someone with possession I literally heard the Jaws theme. For sure need some metal in the middle.

Tax returns.

How could you not?
