It is a total guess on my part, but let's say the contract specifies that if by a certain date on offer has not come in from another club, then the option to extend in favour of the club then becomes available. As an example if the trigger doubles his salary, but he knows that signing for another clubs is 5 times that amount, then he is as well waiting until that date. Buying clubs, knowing that the option is there will still need to arrive at a fee consistent with 18 months on his contract that way.

Mowbray is not fit to tie Hodgson's laces. Uncle Jack appointed Hodgson and although he also appointed Kidd, you cannot fault him for wanting the very best for the club, which sadly is no longer the case.

I agree with that, so next week will be a big test. Given recent results, it’s a free hit, so we can go there relaxed and see what happens.

Just all round grit and determination there, which has been lacking for a long time. It was not a day when any football could be played, but every high ball was met with a Rovers head and the closing down was exceptional. Lenihan got the man of the match, but any of the centre backs could have. Brereton is not only scoring, but working as hard as anyone on the pitch too. Out for a family meal shortly, with amongst us my son and Grandson, who attended the match, so it should be a good night.

I said to my son, Buckley made that goal, in a way.

Delighted with that win and current league position. What is also very pleasing, is the number of players, who are in the side, having come though the ranks. As many have already said, Buckley was superb yesterday. I also think we have a find in Pickering too, who has been faultless in his two games, since his injury. Hope we can beat PNE next week. I will be there with my son & Grandson, having a few days in the UK pre Christmas.

It could be argued that relegation was not deliberate, but if I set off on a journey of 800 miles with a tank of petrol and no money, chances are my neglect to plan to fill the tank back up, would mean I would not complete my journey. The club was badly neglected by a group of chancers.

Not a great game. Long throws and bully boy tactics, seemed to throw us off our stride. Thought we were slightly better second half but no more than 5/10 as an overall performance. Glad to escape with a point, as I thought we were going to draw a blank. Big Ben rescued us again and great to see his goal tally, getting near to the 1000/1 odds, which shows how unexpected that was,

I wish some would put a derisory £5 million in my bank account. Funny how fees for footballers, doesn’t seem like real money.

It was a regular chant in the playground, when I was a kid, if someone ballooned a shot over the bar. Beamo, Beamo, Beamo. It was a word that could have found itself in the Blackburn dictionary, if there was such a thing. I love ken though and was happy to see him remain at the club for years, after his playing days ended.

Wages for players are one thing. Wages for people who brought the players in and deal with their contract renewals, is another thing all together. Some may have slept at the training ground in the past, getting the place rocking and working for nothing, but they don't all do that!!! I have heard a little whisper, that we pay over the odds for some of the stationary too, particularly the brown envelopes, but two firms of accountants were sent in to make sure, that bit is now a thing of the past. Hope they come back in again soon.

It’s only fair that you post that on a Hibs forum to warn them. Perhaps a link to Rovers revisited, wouldn’t go amiss.

I’m surprised he didn’t claim he was miss heard, when he called Allardyce a crook. He used to make the pies so I said he was a cook.

I did once post that and got shot down in flames. I do think that was correct though.

I have a feeling at some point that Dack was sold in someone’s calculations and his first injury, tore up the plans. I could be wrong and obviously don’t want to make excuses for anyone and the old adage of hatched chickens comes into play.

You are probably right.

Just looks like some terrible luck that some dew on the grass and a lick of paint will sort. These fans are the new Blackburn Rovers supporters, so I have better keep my eyes on my drink. https://kick360.com.au/i-really-felt-for-the-fans-it-was-a-really-really-tough-season-steve-kean-lifts-the-lid-on-his-time-at-melbourne-victory/

Is Jim White back on the drink?

I heard about that and you do yet again have to wonder.

I honestly don’t believe the two posters you refer to, are being deliberately evasive. If anything, they are probably excited about being able to post some news, that they are hoping is a very positive step. I understand their caution about saying too much, if they have been trusted, with as yet, inside information and sincerely hope from a number of angles, that what they are being told is genuine and achievable.

I read into it the same as you and do agree about how unprofessional that appears.

Fair enough, although the FIFA thing with Blatter and Plattini seems to be going that way.

Interesting and although I can see where the three groups come from, there are people, in the third group I suspect, who still go. The nothing criminal happened at the club, can be successfully argued, as no one has ever been prosecuted. However, if someone knowingly supplied me with sub standard goods, took a huge amount more commission than they were entitled too and then went to the media, crying that it wasn’t his fault that the goods were sub standard, I would be pretty keen to sue. If said person was slippery enough to get away with it, does that mean I wasn’t wronged, or that he was just a bit cleverer than me? Add to that, the probable lying in court, about being the victim of drinks being spiked, instead of just admitting your mistakes and there you probably have two. I could use many more examples of criminal behaviour, shall we say and of course, so did certain people at Fifa, when allegedly bribery was going on. Look where next years World Cup ended up!!! With billions at stake, clever people sometimes get away with things. For what it’s worth, I am not a boycotter.

All they need now, is for King Rat to spot the next Phil Jones, brewing the tea, or loading hampers into the players cars and Bingo. https://offthepitch.com/a/interview-hibs-owner-ron-gordon-scottish-football-packs-big-punch
