This is true(ish) but until the close of the window, there has to be hope that will change. It is the hope which kills us.

Can’t fault Chaddy on any of his comments here. Spot on.

You have to wonder if things will improve on the transfer front because it was Steve holding the negotiations back for all our main targets. Even if it wasn’t him, will they go for it a bit more to make it LOOK like it was his fault? Who knows? Let’s just hope.

You’ll always have a team that goes up against the norm. It could easily be us one year… but due to law of averages, it’s more likely it won’t. It was Ipswich and Luton last year and could be Coventry this year (if they turn around the first leg).

For goodness sake guys, can we not just give the guy a chance. The letter (if from him) is a nice touch and shows he has some passion. I know we wanted a proven winner to take the helm but this is who we have. Maybe he will be a failure or maybe not. but in the mean time, let’s get behind him and the team.

Where has the academy status query come from? Has it been mentioned by the upper management?

I think the only reason we are still in with a playoff chance is because other teams keeping slipping up. With that win percentage, we shouldn’t be anywhere near top six. Other team’s poor performances have skewed the wider public perception of JEs ability. if he stays, fine. If he goes, fine.

I like Siggy and think injuries have done him an injustice. Would love to see him kick on and earn a new contract offer. It’s up to him to sign or leave. I also really like Dolan. I really think given a run in a his preferred position, could bring out his best.

I just seem to be far too skeptical of Rovers these days and I am convinced we aren’t getting these players. How sad is that?

If this ends up being true, I’m done with this joke of a club.

Glen that is horrendous. Surely someone has been identified?

I’m sorry if I have misunderstood something but did Glen say payments were found from the club to pay someone to threaten him? Cheers for clearing this up in advance.

Where is this footage?

Haha you have to laugh!

Just read the Palace article about Wharton. Seeing him in red and blue halves… it’s like seeing your ex with another man.

Over the last few years, my passion for Rovers has waned. Three years ago, I stopped my season ticket when my daughter was born and I haven’t missed going to Ewood since. With each passing year/window I feel the wave of apathy growing. I will be honest and say, I hate Venky’s but I don’t care about it all anymore. They have ruined the passion for me. VENKYS OUT

I was a left back… in the changing rooms.

Would definitely take a look at Dembele. He has a bit of pace too if I’m recalling correctly.

If he isn’t too keen, I’d rather we moved onto targets who want to play and fight for the club.

I miss the 11 o’clockers!

Mowbray will play him at centre half then!

It’d be a decent idea. Offer Chilean fans access to stream games. Charge them a fraction of the price (anything is a bonus to our coffers) and let them follow their newest hero from chile!

Sisko for me!

I remember Phil Jones playing his first for us and I said to my father, “he is unbelievably good!”

If money isn’t there to buy or loan, I’d rather us utilise the academy and JRC across LB, RB and Wing. Bell has been... ok and we still have Williams. I’d rather not see us spunk our last pennies on players only to end up like Bolton and Wigan. We are comfortably mid table but with a little luck, we could sneak into the playoffs. IMO
