Wow this transfer thread is the worst ever! 😂

199 pages of pure garbage with zero content! 

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!

I know this might go against the grain, but lets wait and see how the results go when the season actually starts.

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?

Patience, as usual, is in short supply on this MB.

Yes, we've lost some players. Yes, some clubs have made moves. But there are still plenty of deals that will be done and plenty of time for us to take part in them. 

No need to be too desperate now and judge things every 6 hours. 

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.

It’s interesting how things change. I’d been led to believe we had a squad so brimming talent that it was only the unique ineptitude of Mowbray that stopped us winning promotion at a canter. Now it appears that we were entirely dependent on Rothwell’s 3 goals, Nyambe stopping the occasional breakaway and a career Championship-level defender in avoiding certain relegation.

Personally, I think the outcome will be somewhere in-between.

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.

Cantwell is playing for an admittedly second string Norwich side tonight. I can't see that move happening at all and certainly it doesn't seem imminent.

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 has already spoken about using loan players as a stop gap until academy players are ready - which I think is the right approach (depending on quality and cost of loans).

Also - sending out this message about fast track will hopefully persuade some of our more sought after youngsters to stay longer - as well as helping to sell the academy to other youngsters.

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!

Rovers having problems with getting Ronny’s current club New York & fighting it out with Standard … 

The US club are not happy with him and are refusing to sanction his release … 
 

Standard Also took their DOF and they have refused to sign his release for the next 3 months …that’s their minimum notice order for all their staff……so he’s snookered as well…….

work Permit would also be an issue for Ronny ……. Another delay which Rovers can’t afford ……

 

 

 

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

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'm worried.

But I do think most managers linked will be an upgrade on Mowbray.

 

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

You think what you like.

Firstly, Unsworth has to be offered a job somewhere as a manager!

Secondly, I know of a former member of Rovers' coaching staff who is quite keen to return to the club should Ferguson get the gig. 

Would this be a certain Mr Short by any chance?

We have missed out 3 people I thought could have took us to that next level in Daniel Farke, Carlos Carvalhal and Neil Critchley. Plus Michael Beale aswell. 

So where we do now? how many candidates have we actually interview and we is Pasha and Waggott struggling to pick a first choice or someone to recommend to the owners to appoint. 

I don't see clear and obvious choice out there to appoint. 

Woodgate is a guess from me and nothing more. I'm hopeful an appointment will be made before the weekend(11/12th of June) since the players return on the 13th June with no fitness coaches at the club and no head of medicine services. So we can appoint people to these roles. 

No not any coach can do, That why you employed specialise coaches to do it or proper trained and qualified physios. 

We haven't had personal in those positions for years so why have each of the 3 people got to PL clubs or one of the top clubs in Germany. 

Head of Medicine services Andy Mitchell left us for Red Bull Leipzig. 

Our  Lead Athletic Performance Coach Liam Mason left for the role on Newcastle fitness staff

Our number 2 athletic performance coach Jack Dowling left for a similar at Everton

No I wouldn't think mad or angry or anything like that about it. What good would it do anyway? 

Whoever we appoint I want to the reason why we appoint this candidate and what make him the right choice. 

where has his name came from? 

He is the director of football who was at Leicester and Everton. 

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