Always liked Todd. It says it all when the supporters association voted him as their player of the season last year. Hope he gets his two year contract.

I am very undecided about Savage. I get the impression he wishes to come to Ewood. Why does he not come out and say it? I am not impressed with the management or the board of Birmingham City either - they are naive. How many players have they had off us? - Kenna, Dunn, Taylor, Yorke, Davidson. I certainly do not see them purchasing anymore players from us. If we do we should play them at their own tactics of hyping up the players price so that they will play silly money. I am also disgusted that they have been childish enough to make their quarrels public in order to sell papers. The Sunday Mirror makes interesting reading, you always get the Birmingham side of things. I am glad our board refused to comment, as this is just turning into a farce. If Savage moved up to Blackburn he would not be living in the place. He would probably live on the Welsh border and travel dailly - thus making him nearer to his parents. Then you have papers like the sun trying to prove that Birmingham is closer to Savage's parents than we are. I was even more appaulled at that papers tactics yesterday - when they had been talking to people from the village that Savage's parents come from to find out if they are ill. It is nobody's business other than the families. To let a player rot in the reserves is disgusting. Just because they are not happy with how another club has approached a player. Would they be happy if Dunn decided he wanted to come back to Blackburn, to be closer to his family? Then you listen to Richard Dinnis amd Simon Garner on Radio Lancashire who state that Savage will become a Blackburn player. Hang on have they inside information we do not have. Will Rovers stump up the asking fee? You do not see our board getting upset about the fact that paper talk has ferguson linked with Rangers, Newcastle or Everton. If we believe him he is staying put. Come on Birmingham wake up it was in your local press in October that following the game at Ewood that Savage was having talks with Rovers. Press in your own city saw this coming. I see you only looking one way and that is Birmingham City.

I was disgusted when I saw the price. It would have to have been agreed by both clubs. Well thanks for nothing Rovers the crowd will probably be worse than the Worthington Cup against Bournemouth. I will be there only because I opted for the cup season ticket. I also now get to see Cardiff. As I had to go t Manchester yesterday and was at the theatre with family. Had i not promised to go I would have been with the travelling Rovers fans. Thanks to my friends who kept me informed of the score through out the game. It was killing me - not being at the game. At least I can look forward to Portsmouth

I am in absolute shock about this one. Who would have believed it Tony Parkes sacked by the club. He has been a loyal member of staff and has seen us through some of the most difficult times in our history. He has always been their as long as I have supported them both as a player and part of the managerial team. Jack Walker would have been turning in his grave, as he tried to make sure that there was always a job for Tony at Ewood and told a few managers in his time they had to give him a job. Thanks for everything Tony and your loyalty to the club. I am disgusted with the Club that it was leaked to the press before Parkes was told. Rovers what is going wrong with your people management. It was unfair that Gary Flitcroft had to learn he had lost his captaincy via the radio, but this sucks. Get your priorities right - what is right for your staff or when we can sell a story on the back pages. I wish him every success in the future and very sorry to see him go. Hughes you have lost the plot. See we are linked to a member of the Welsh team, as a replacement. Job for the boys!!!!!! With the pending appointment of the new Wales manager, it stinks.

Hughes or Strachan needed for the job

Good Luck to the guy!!!!!! He had only five games at Ewood before the board decided to sack him or not. So go before you are pushed. Lets hope we can get a manager who will turn things around. Maybe we can win a game. So how many players is he going to try and take to Newcastle now? Hands off!!!!!! Tugay Ferguson Friedel and the rest

I would love it to be Martin O Neill, but I think it could be one from a few. Houllier, Bobby Robson, Mike Newell, Mark hughes Nice to see Parkes reinstated as the caretaker manager. Lets see all the players that have fallen out with souness back in the squad. Andy Todd and Gally welcome back. Hope it is not Ternant!!!!
