Not a penny on either.

That makes it even worse then. So we're currently offering roughly 28% less than what the average wage for a Champ manager was, 4 and a half years ago?

Forshaw looks absolutely lost.

He'll be disappointed the Savoy dinner won't be on expenses then.

So if that were the case, you'd expect JE to be involved in transfer conversations. Unlike what has been reported by some 'journalists'.

Karanka is a busted flush. Anything he achieved of note was a decade ago.

King Kenny smiling in the crowd, enjoying the scoreline clearly.

Lovely stuff from Kargbo. Great first touch from Dolan. Fresh legs in the midfield please. Forshaw is shitting me up.

When Pears makes a mistake or is indecisive, it affects him for the rest of the game. He can't shrug it off.

The last time he scored was for Boro, their manager? Aitor Karanka...

I genuinely have no idea how anything ever gets done when three people have the same job. If there's a standoff, who has final say?

Get them running back at their own goal and some individual trickery and they're there for the taking.

Yeah he's probably not got the pace or technical flair for the top level. But you can see his head is working a split second faster than most on the pitch.

I was hopeful when he arrived, but he's really failed to deliver and often gives the ball away.

Based off very limited viewings. As Beck is unlikely available or affordable. I'd look to extend Ribeiro past the summer. Likely won't do that either.

If it's Richie Wellens then deary me.

He plays his passes with a bit of fizz too. He's shit Hyam up twice now playing the ball to him.

Well done on that piece. Listened to it live in the car earlier. The whole 'decade since they last attended' seems to get the biggest reaction from most neutrals i've noticed.

It was the show with Andy Jacobs, can't remember who the co-host is. Probably would've been around 2:30 - 3pm (I said lunchtime earlier on, I was well out).

Well done to @Herbie6590 today too. I heard you on my lunchtime drive today on Talksport. I thought you came across very well, calm, collected and thoughtful in your replies to any questions. Sadly I can't say the same about the presenters who's show you were on, who were too busy trying to make jokes in between talking to you.

If they give it to Carsley, then it highlights the intended path forward IMO. There'll be little to no investment, an expectation to coach, develop and play academy prospects ready for a sale to a bigger club.

He'll be on the touchline wearing a gilet in the 2nd half.

Would be funny seeing Big Sam take charge and then just keep telling them to sell every press conference.

Henry has a co-presenting slot on Talksport at the weekends doesn't he? I'd like to think he'd be reciprocal to having a well spoken, calm and collective Rovers fan on the show to discuss this latest dark cloud to hang over Ewood.

Someone posted earlier today (can't remember who) that Travis apparently refused a meeting with JE this morning.
