Quality transfer discussion once again.

I bet you could find the exact comment in 2023 too …. followed by a “we will win 3-0” prediction for the first game 😂

Halle fucking lujah

Narrator No2 ”but that’s just not what we talk about here” 😂

As frustrating as it may be - without sales or contract extensions, all those players play for us next season regardless (other than Dolan obv) so I would argue you’re a summer early

I’m not, I’d say I agree with most of the comments. We don’t need to be reminded that we’re owned by twats all the time though? Maybe that’s the only distinction. If there is a stance that I’m probably on my own with, it’s the “I’m happy if Venkys aren’t sending us money” because “hating Venkys” and expecting investment, seem diametrically opposed viewpoints.

It’s been the same since 2010 so I just try to remind myself that there is still a “husk” to support and, like last season - you never know. 1 point off playoffs? I wouldn’t call that another season of decline but my basic “goalposts” aka league position aren’t shared here.

Must admit that your response has gone over my head but I have less interest in politics than BRFCS these days so it’s 100% my fault 😂

Why don’t you write us a Bob Vylan style folk song titled “Deaf to the VHG”

Budgets are budgets at the end of the day, if he’s signed by a team with more than a “pittance” in turnover or parachute payments, you’d call it a lack of ambition, I’d call it the reality of a shite financial climate.

Quality input to transfer discussion!

Fair enough your final sentence, I disagree, Wednesday are in a financial mire, and I’m not suggesting there isn’t “nuance” but do we all need to be reminded about players on final years in every response? My view is an unequivocal “no”. The rationale for that is, we already know - bore off.

It is possible to take a transfer rumour on its own merits, without dragging every other issue the club faces into a discussion, just saying!

This from the biggest “tid bit” bullshitter that Blackburn Fans have ever seen.

And we’re talking decades of it!

In fairness, he has a point. For example, this thread shouldn’t be the “transfer thread” it should be renamed; “Roversfan99/JHR/Mercer predict relegation, all best players sold, and all new signings shit, whilst Chaddy Inexplicably still reads their responses and replies constantly” I guess you and others enjoy it, but personally, if it wasn’t for potential snippets of actual information every 100 or so posts, I wouldn’t bother.

Set the tone

Is this a coincidence or do you think this is them putting the money in for tavares?

I don’t understand why you think wage approximates will be that far off, all clubs publish their wage bills. Of course, it’ll never be exact unless you’ve a payslip with their bonuses / signing on fees on. It’s fairly easy to have a close approximate though - football manager games have researchers at every club who provide these approximates too, so it’s not as if it’s a random algorithm. I don’t think you can say for sure that he hasn’t been offered a decent extension either, but we can definitely say that his agents advice would’ve been to “stick it out, you’ll get a better deal elsewhere”…. Especially when we’ve seen that happen multiple times in recent seasons. Lenihan, Rothwell, and Brereton-Diaz all went on to sign contracts at their new clubs that would’ve been higher than what we would’ve paid them. You can point out a lack of ambition from the owners and many would agree, you can say their are external issues like parachute payments and FFP make an impact and most would also agree, but you still must acknowledge that these players have short careers and will maximise their earnings. Not forgetting their agents generally take 10% thus the more their client makes….

https://salarysport.com/football/player/tyrhys-dolan/ https://salarysport.com/football/player/todd-cantwell/ https://salarysport.com/football/player/lewis-travis/ Certainly worth taking a handful of salt with this but I would say these are close, the Cantwell one as an example of what our top earners are on, and Travis as an example based on another going into his final year. The question I would ask everyone on BRFCS, what would you offer him based on those examples of our structure? I personally would be happy to see Dolan on a 15k a week 3 year deal, but I wouldn’t put him in top earner category. Incidentally - I’d make Travis top earner personally! A couple of examples from the championship, similar age and experience, attackers who went to a parachute teams last season; Both Callum O Hare and Tyrese Campbell went to Sheff United last season for free for 15k (according to the same basic AI Research) I would bet that the signing on fees are very different mind!

Oh come on, you spend a hundred words on dissecting players and other decisions but can’t even offer more than a sentence on a simple question? it doesn’t matter though, because we both know that being able to offer competitive wages for the players at the top of the championship normally requires that 45m+ parachute payment, a high turnover and/or ambitious owners. We don’t have any of those three things.

What is a reasonable offer for Dolan?

I think the comfort comes from knowing I’m still suffering watching this fecking charade, just like the rest of you.

Factual tangent, but you do you. Since we’re just improvising here, can I say that the Parkers Arms in Newton-in-Bowland does the best pies I’ve ever eaten.

Jokes are normally funny tbf 😂
