I dont know whats this obsession with some people wanting to play MGP up front. Just cause a midfielder can score goals,doesnt mean he should play as a striker! Anyways,a word on the captaincy.I think Toddy will get it,though I have no issues with that,I wouldnt mind seeing Lucas leading us.

If the club knew that some money was coming in from Saturday,then they should have really put a foot down to sign a striker on loan,even for 500k. No one can be CERTAIN that we wont go down.

Miserable couple of days.Almost forgot about the upside.

jim you seem a bright guy.so tell me what is the point of us suspending him without pay? what gain do we have? the same public relations fiasco thAt Brum had with Savage? We might as well been the bigger "man" and let him take his toys and leave after he was gonna be that way.end of story.he didnt want to put the shirt on,let him leave and get some money while we still could.

Grabbi and Davies were pushed out of the club. This guy jumped. They certainly werent worse in character.

Rangers and Celtic would do no better than 8-10 in the Premier League in their current state. So good on Fergie.Enjoy it up there.Good luck. Thanks for your words of appreciation for the club and fans that supported you.

didnt mean to leave out Lucas.Of course he is another one that falls into the group of "long-term" players who play for the club.

the least he could have done was thank the club,board and fans for their support these past 18 months. not one mention of blackburn other than that the local derby with bolton didnt compare. someone asked,how was he our captain,i DOUBLE THAT! we should stop slagging off BLACKBURN boys such as Tugay and Flitcroft cause however bad they play,they are Blackburn through and through and play for the club and have led the club by example many many times!Not to mention Friedel,Short,Jansen.

we have to play with 5 in the middle if we want to have any chance against Chelsea cause we wont outplay them.

Shame he had to throw a tantrum to finally go back.

of course not.

And we were sitting quietly being linked with strikers everywhere and end up with nothing. Is it possible we signed someone and it wasnt announced yet? Pandiani hadnt been reported anywhere yet.

what are you talking about! pandiani didnt join you!

The Premiership is a competitive league in general! The SPL isnt. Plus the massive Welsh connection here may sway his decision. But hey thats what the INDEPENDENT says,not me.

Bellamy wont sign for a team that has 4-5 big games a year, no challenge except for one other team. Plus it is unlikely that they will succeed in Europe.

I said lower level LEAGUE!

Independent says that Bellamy wanted to join us,but finances prevented it. It says he is hopeful of joining in the summer. I may add IF we are still here! Also,I bet you anything Bellamy WILL NOT remain at Celtic.He wont play at a lower level league for sure!

Well do you think JW really thought we would get 6 million?No. It was just figure to suck out the most cash from you! The story works TWO WAYS my friend! We have failed in Europe,but we are only Blackburn Rovers,a small club from a small town,who has done much much more during its history than logic would grant.Our failures in Europe can be taken on the chin and a little disappointment.Not the same for yours!

Murray forced Williams' hand? I DONT THINK SO. It was Murray who said you wouldnt pay a penny over 3 million. We got a further 1.5-2 million out of you.So thats a significant increase,dont you think? A club with a great history?Well ya of course you play in a league where two teams contest the title each year.Big deal.You have been a failure in Europe,for a club of your "size" and "history". Your best player couldnt make it at our level,and it was too much for him to handle. What are you happy about?

WHAT IS DISGRACEFUL is that not once has he said anything about Blackburn or its fans or their support during his injury,poor form and everything else. He is only talking about how much he missed Rangers,bla bla bla... So what were we? so we made a 1.5 million - 2 million loss on his transfer fee, not to mention his damn wages and signing on fee for 18 months of virtually nothing.

If at the end of the season,the difference between staying up and going down turns out to be Ferguson then I hope the 4.5 million is enough to help keep the club in good condition .

Disappointing is an understatement. We just sold the guy for 1.5 million less than we had BOASTED it would require. We didnt get a replacement. We still cant score goals. If we relegate,I hope the board knows it played a GOOD role in confirming it with the actions or inactions of the last 2-3 days.

...and to our relegation struggle.

Bellamy might help Celtin win,I doubt Ferguson will be the decisive factor for Rangers.

we rejected the 3rd bid earlier today iirc. it would be a 4th bid if its a new one.
