He is 100% referring to the DOF/head coach set up being unusual in England.

This transfer thread is a complete farce. Bin it and start again!

Absolutely, but the thought of going in to those games with our current squad send shivers down my spine. I can’t see many others disagreeing with that?

Waiting till the last week to do deals helps no one though. The players need to integrate. That’s why we start so slow. We basically use the first half a dozen games as preseason friendlies. You have to understand the frustration of losing your better players and not have a whisper regarding replacements. its 3 weeks until kick off!! 3 weeks!!!

We do not have the money to replace Nyambe, Lenihan or Rothwells quality. Again we have to hope we get lucky. They have all gone for free. We will be lucky to have £3m+ available for transfer fees. Loans certainly have their place in this squad but they cannot be relied on. The silence is deafening at the minute.

I agree to an extent but that talented squad still required quality additions. That was obvious in the latter stages of the season. Now some of the main players have gone we are well short in quality and numbers. We need 6 decent incomings, I’m not confident we are capable of acquiring such quality, this is due to money and ambition.

Please can someone go on Twitter and make up a random rumour. Least then I can waste time watching YouTube videos and trying to squeeze them in to our starting 11. 😂 I’m bored of trying to figure out how we haven’t signed anyone yet!

Ellen White would get in our starting 11.

Our Deja vu transfer windows continue…. “Transfers due next week” “Blackburn target signs for rival” 😂😂 ”Blackburn look to loans” 👀 I’m hoping this year is different and the signings have been kept quiet, vey strange there hasn’t been many rumblings either.

I’m not quite panicking yet but the fact teams that finished around us have moved fast and made some decent signings leaves us behind slightly. Boro, WBA, Bristol City and even Millwall have been active and signed some good players. GB certainly talked the talk, I’m hoping his actions match.

Where the hell has all this hate for Pickering come from? Before his injury he was one of our better performers. He came back in to a struggling team and wasn’t exactly awful. Theres 6 or 7 areas that need looking at before LB.

A few close to the club believe it’s happening, I’m not sure it can happen within our pay structure. What happened to him? He was catching the eye of the top prem teams only 2 years ago.

Our DOF also said we have a healthy budget. If that does not come to fruition it doesn’t reflect very well on someone who’s been in the role a month. The Championship is a cut throat league and teams can easily go from promotion contenders to relegation candidates with poor recruitment. It is essential we replace Lenihan, nyambe and Rothwell with equal quality.

Another day passes, another day the transfer thread gets filled with Tony Mowbray memories and released players. it’s all part of the process. 😂

We need a new thread for out of contract players. Or the Lenihan/Nyambe/Rothwell thread.

100 pages in and we must be 10-15 pages since an actual players name has been mentioned. 😂 You know it’s bad when we’re still talking about players who have left in a transfer thread. I understand it’s been all change but it Has to be a busy few weeks ahead or we go in to a championship campaign with an extremely weak and inexperienced playing squad.

Training Kit numbers hold no bearing on squad numbers at all.

I tell you what Thyrs Dolan does need to do…….stop texting on his phone while driving! Don’t want to sound like his Dad but after training at 4 this afternoon driving past YUs he was texting away!

I’m not keen on Deila at all. Not sure why he’s the one they are prepared to go the extra mile for.

This is turning in to a south park episode from years ago. They had to choose between a Turd sandwich and a Giant Douche to become the schools new mascot! 😂🙈

Is Warne really the best we can do? I mean “50 serious applicants” and he’s the best option. What even is a Waggot?

I have to agree my fellow Clitheronian. A manager with a bit of passion and tactical nouse could get this club bouncing.

Would this be a certain Mr Short by any chance?

You 100% never heard of Michael Beale prior to last week.

Rovers budget this summer is £1.6m this includes wages and transfer fees! No manager in their right mind would take that on. That would mean signing 2 freebies on 15k a week! 🙈 Obviously this hopefully changes if there’s player sales.
