Unless he wants to leave - why break up a winning team ?

At this moment in time - we have a team with individuals that are gradually improving (i.e. Reid, Bentley, MGP, Neil), all backed up by able squad players (Peter, Emo). Why break up a winning side.

Far better to keep this team together - and just tinker with the weaker elements (ie second striker, left back, creative centre midfield).

Lets back Sparky's ewood revolution 

Looking at it realistically - the £10m lost by keeping MGP would easily be recovered if he continues to develop and we keep getting european spots (we are on target for approx £5m extra position money this year - plus £10m in the unlikely event we qualify for Euro Money League).

Absolutely spot on.. agree with everything you have stated!

In fact they are getting fined for every day it is late completing it.

Very true, as an Australian plc (or equiv.), the share price on Multiplex have dropped. One of the major shareholder's kicked in $50m AUD (£20m) of his own money to 'shoulder' the overheads.

Someone(s) has really stuffed up!

Derbyshire also scored the winner for Wrexham away to Rochdale.. His sixth so far this season (6 in 7 games). Ended 1-0.

Its going to be difficult to work out the gate averages, with the numbers now not being accurate wont it?

or is that a good thing for Gav now?

Sorry LeChuck (and others) I cant see it with Heskey.. I would rather jon Stead

I do admit he is a target man, but I would never want to see Emil Heskey in a Rovers shirt..

Others I would rather compliment Bellamy, in Europe ;

John Carew - Lyon

Jerome Cameron - Cardiff

Depending on who goes down..

Arca - Sunderland

Koumas - W.Brom

Pennant - B'ham

Dunn - B'ham *

Lua Lua - P'mouth *

Taylor - P'mouth

* Both quality player's IMO, just dont know if they would be Hughes 'type' of players..

Love listening to him. His poetic ramblings are great fun and he does know what he is talking about. It will be a sad day when you can no longer hear him on the radio. The last thing on earth I'd want would be people like him being replaced by yet another former footballer struggling to string three words together. He may not always provide some brilliant piece of analysis but he can sum up the game well and always does it in an original and interesting format.

He reminds me of the sketch on the fast show, with the rambling drunk who babbles crap.. very funny

he always ends with"...and I was very, very drunk at the time!"

Anyone else get the feeling that John Toshack will play Bellamy for the full 90mins in Wales friendly tonight. He'll probably end up injured meaning he'll have to miss Sundays game

Why say that greggyk? Thats just asking for it..

American Arsenal fans doing what we are doing here. One of them has even read our thread.

Apart from saying Rovers have over-reached themselves, their comments definitely see us the dark horse but they have Bolton as favourites to finish 4th.

Philip, posted by den already a few posts up

...Neill could excel for us at centre back, he's never let Australia down in that position!

Oddly enough, Neill play's left back for Australia normally.

Douglas scores for Leeds (Leeds 2-0 Luton)

Gallagher scores the winner for Stoke (Stoke 2-1 Millwall)

"Could it be Blackburn Rovers against Real Madrid in Europe next year?" - Skysports News

It's all gone back to court this week. Should have a decision on either Thursday or Friday.

4 million would certainly go nicely towards a decent centre forward to partner Bellers

Nice one Ricky!

I wondered when news on this, was going to re-surface..

We wont win

what size was the crowd?

Still can't believe it!!

and Bentley gets a hatrick against the scum!!

Go you good thing!

Review of Rovers’ Accounts year to 30 June 2005.

What I believe is clear is that the Rovers have derived no income from the Dahlin insurance case unless they have found a clever accounting way of spreading it over a number of years. Unlike contingent liabilities, contingent assets are not required to be reported so there is no way of telling if the Dahlin case is lost or still dragging on.

Great Post Philipl!

Has anyone heard anything further on the case?

As said by someone earlier, sad its at a end.

Im still struggling with the referee

Anyway. Brad Friedal, truely a great!

Think you could be right Paul.

Mark Hughes playing mind games with RFW?

His scoring record is fairly mediocre - 5 goals in 27 League and Cup matches this season, but to be fair to him, those 5 goals were all important ones -

377072[/snapback]

Smithy, 6 goals he has.. Goal agianst Charlton

I thought Henry always played left wing at Juve?

Off the top of your heads,name me the best 3 wingers converted into forwards in the last 25 years.I 'd love to see who has made that a succesful transition.(BTW,I mean an out and out winger converted not a striker who played out wide in a system a la Bellamy at nuke/wales)

Henry is one

I think its quite interesting, that both Dunn and Forrsell (both you have alot of team-hopes pinned on) scored in the 90th minute.

Your right Philip, Bruce must be thinking, his season has finally turned.

Have to admit, they do have some players you would take to Rovers.

...this translates into a choice between our Executive directors continuing to sit in the comfort zone drawing huge salaries or actually going the extra mile and managing to extract extra investment in the team from either the Trustees or from outside sources.

Of course I couldn't possibly say that.

Dont think he was hinting at something that deep.. His point was (IMO) we need investment now to move further forward. Plain and simple
