couldn't agree more. Ferguson just isn't terribly good. He's not terribly bad either. But I think Savage will be 3x the player for us that BF was/is/whatever... Ferguson is our best midfielder.

Don't worry guys, there's one S.T. holder here who wont be going. For my Chrissy present off Baz, I got a weekend in London for that weekend. Baz "I've checked and there's no game that weekend"

Has to be season ticket holders first, Waggy. sorry den 8-10k season ticket holders ain't bothered with any cup games this year,they do not deserve the chance They paid for the chance Waggy. £500 up front for some of us.

Last time rovers wouldn't sell them to just any rovers supporter. There were fans who wanted tickets and couldn't get them. I expect the same will happen again.

Two problems FLB. Firstly the money - I'm sure he would have gone, or will go, given an offer around the £5/6m mark. Apparently Rangers haven't been near. Secondly, the timing. We're in real danger of relegation and to lose him without a replacement would be suicidal IMO. As for him not putting the effort in if has to stay - no-one knows that, do they? The people best to judge that are Hughes and JW.

SSN, 2 mins ago: we heard there are a number of clubs willing to take him on loan, including Celtic. Rovers? [or has he gone to Celtic without me knowing]?

We play burnley Away

Hughes did say this morning that Ferguson didn't play on Saturday, because he wasn't in the right frame of mind. It might have been posted on here, apologies if it has.

Three. Still 70 odd to go.

Two. 70 odd to go.

Rangers official site Williams " we are in talks, but we have no agreement."

No. He didn't think he could handle the pressures of being with a big club.

3 times. D'oh

JW " the club is still in dialogue with Rangers"

That's the second time you've done that SteB.

Breaking news on SSN about Barry Fergusons future - coming up!

Baz wants to know - how the hell does Philipl know, from Malta?

3-3 Birmingham against Birmingham two months ago... One.

Relative lack of qualty? I can rem far far worse! Trouble is that in the last decade we have been spoiled in a way that the fans of other teams similar in stature to ourselves have not. Theno, you don't seem able to accept that the last two seasons have been absolutely dire. I struggle to remember a game which could be called entertaining.

SSN say Bellamy has declined Brums offer.

Great stuff Ben and Marc. Thanks a lot. The previews this season have been better than we could have hoped for, well done everybody.

Blimey Dado Rangers were told a week ago, you can have him. No problem - he's yours. Just pay the money.

Good shout for the manager. Does being out of the country affect your ability to scroll to the top of the page?

It isn't rubbishTashor. Normally, teams playing exciting/entertaining football don't lose all the time. What Paul is saying and I agree with, is that what we have had to endure for the last two seasons at Ewood has been partly, if not greatly responsible for the huge drop in S.T. sales. It's not a coincidence that this season [the third season of mediocre football], has coincided with the second 10% drop in season ticket sales. High prices, Sky Tv have been around much longer than the last two seasons.
