“Carter is a donkey” added to list of anti Buckley and Dolan “tosh”.

This folks is what I call ignoring history to make something sound worse than it is; If you’re thinking of precedents - aka strikers in their last year, no prem experience and only one season for scoring 20+ goals… Is Lenihan and Rothwell the example you’d come to? Or perhaps a diminutive Geordie who ended up on the south coast at the end of the window for 16-20m?

Absolutely

Fess up? You’re supposed to have some level of knowledge of football and you’d want / expect a new member of staff to come out and tell us exactly why / what issues or what exact plans are? Every day to satisfy a message board? Over trumped? Like Buckley and Dolan do you mean? Remember what the former did to your boy Whiteman? Half the u23s… you mean Carter might start Saturday (aka someone who has “big strong man” experience) and we might have Markanday / Vale involved from the bench? You’re always looking for an argument. How else do you explain your half baked, half arsed and mostly wrong assertions?

It’s called fishing for an argument K-Mod. It’s a daily occurrence. ”Hmm… how do I cause a stir this morning!”

Yea, would be unprofessional and a stupid thing to do.

Can you throw in “apologist” and also “will defend anything the club does”, cheers lads!

Please put me out of my misery and delete my account 😂

Nowhere near as “eye-gougingly” cringy as seeing signings written off as “relegation men”… especially about 10 posts after a full forum warning about baiting.

Absolutely agree 100% on this part. Exciting in itself.

Who is “this lot”?

No TP, it’s the clubs scouting department / recruitment. Its going to take a lot longer than a month, or even a year for JDT to implement his own views on the recruitment system for rovers. Suggesting this is a forced restriction? Sounds stupid to me at least.

The club purposely plants rumours to satisfy fans? Give me a break. We both know (and I will use one of JHRs less tin foiled quotes) “actions speak louder than words” so links to million + players in papers means nothing to anybody.

This is just embarrassing

Can we stop with the stupid conspiracy theories like this please. I don’t think we need many signings but now hoping we make some just to save me reading this every single day.

@K-Hod am I allowed to do a public facepalm at this post?

@K-Hod - RE the part in bold, is that not exactly what you told me isn’t coming to a conclusion?

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/20277479.blackburn-rovers-coming-behind-transfer-search/ Why look for quotes from Broughton when JDT has explained to an extent. How long till Greg gets a BRFCS nickname anyway? BroughtNowt?

I guess it’s individual how people read into this scenario, I personally don’t think it’s evidence “our setup is abysmal”, and would count that as “olympic level jumping to conclusions” Neither of us truly now how involved, bar setting budgets, our owners are. Hence why I probably don’t share the same level of immediate concern, a worry that echoes the same day in day out bellyache, in June, whilst the manager search went on.

He knows as much as the rest of us, and I don’t think it’s fair to say our setup is abysmal when 99% of the issues we seemingly face are down to finance. Anel for example - despite plenty believing it’s a made up issue, if someone is offering 10k more than our wage bill allows, we’ve no chance. The turnover / ffp allowed limit sets our wage bill too.

Had nothing to do with having our squad sorted in July though did it? Each to their own but I’m nowhere near as worried as most and I will be giving the new setup at least a season and couple of windows before I start coming to any conclusions.

A good second half of the season is just as “key” as we’ve experienced.

You know as well as I do how difficult the windows / market is in the championship. Lots of competition for the best talent and many premier league fringe players won’t even be available till all the squads are confirmed.

Course we’d feel more confident if we’d gone out and signed some exciting players. There’s still lots of time to judge the new direction though that doesn’t necessarily need such worry.
