  1. What do we think we will get for him this summer (assuming we stay up) and what would people be happy with? I think: £5/6m I'd be happy with: £10m+ based on his impact this season which we know we wont replace
  2. He is a person out of depth operating in an environment he can't control. I don't think he is a bad person, unlike Waggot and Pasha. He's simply ineffective. Of all the interviews, Bayes was the best.
  3. Poor from Wharton to come out publicly criticizing JDT. Let's not re-write history Scott....you were crap for a season and haven't pulled up trees this year. JDT set high standards and took no prisoners, likely having played at the highest level with world class players. How many of our squad will get anywhere close to his achievements in the game? JDT was never going to work at Rovers under this setup and owners. His standards were too high and we were never going to have the players with the ability or character to play how he wanted. He had thrown in the towel from Jan onwards. I think the players will like Eustace and come out saying he is great as they have an easier ride - doing what they've done before and with a coach who settles for less.
  4. I don't think we will see him play for Rovers again. A shame as he looked a world beater early season, saw at QPR and he was majestic. Like the rest of the team, crap since. At least we might get a fee for him as he signed that new deal.
  5. Buy out bidder - Dan Williams Interview Doing some googling and found this....I wonder what might have been. It looks like this got fairly serious at one stage. Anyone know what happened?
  6. As an alternative….the interviewer from ‘Training Ground Guru’ with no affiliation to Rovers could have chosen not to ask any questions on contentious subjects. He did. Guess it’s how you perceive it.
  7. - McGuire..........doesn't say why we the permanent transfer got cancelled. We know Gregg. They were 'disappointed not to get it over the line'. Down the human error. He seems miffed and blaming the 'directors'. - Big difference to the O'brien fiasco....he doesn't take accountability for the McGuire farce. - He mentions JDT plenty of times - clearly not over that or anything to do with him going. Said he chose JDT when he came in. - Says 'things came to a head' with JDT in Dec/Jan and a change was inevitable (I reckon he knew about the Sweden thing). Does NOT say he chose Eustace. Did claim Kidderminster were the 'Barcelona of non-league football.... - Says he has no idea what the transfer budget or wage budget is, unlike in 2022 the first window. - Ben Rosen found Szmodics apparently. Good job he has left then... - Says it was Wharton's agent and Adam that pushed for the move once Crystal Palace came in. States Rovers wanted to keep him until the end of the season. - Swerves the question on reinvesting the Wharton money. Read....we aren't going to see any. Talks about investing it across the '4 key areas of the club'. Recommended it gets spent over the 'long term'. States the summer investment won't be affected. - Goes on again about young players and style of play. - Suhail is gatekeeper to the owners. The guy interviewing him did a good job. Didnt give him an easy ride. Oh my.....we are a mess.
  8. New Broughton interview on YouTube…note it isn’t with or by the club. Broughton Interview - International break I reckon he’s off.
  9. I haven’t seen anything positive at all on the various channels. The tide may finally have turned.
  10. Club statement (18.03.24) | rovers.co.uk The fun goes on....how depressing.
  11. Brought in by Waggott as a ‘yes’ man and someone who would do as he is told, unlike JDT. Another journeyman manager harking back to the days of Appleton and Bowyer. Underwhelming appointment. He is showing in both results and interviews he is out of his depth. Came in promising a flexible style….I am yet to see it. His interviews I cannot watch anymore - cliche after cliche. Hedgy, Pearsy, Siggy….. Further dumbing down after last season. Scary to think the optimism and opportunity squandered in the summer. He won’t last 12 months at Rovers. Simply not up to it and the continued narrative on his success at Birmingham is nonsense, they had played a handful of games.
  12. Inept and out of his depth. Hired by Waggott to not rock the boat and do as he’s told.
  13. Thank god for Sammy Smzodics. What a season he is having. Special. Eustace is out of his depth. I would get rid now and that isn’t a knee jerk reaction to this crap tonight. Been dross since he came in. Bring a manager in who can make an immediate impact with some tactical knowledge and presence. See Sheff Wed… No wins in 7.
  14. Could be doing with prime Mulgrew again in L1 next year
  15. Selling Adam to raise funds to run the club in the short term is going to backfire rather horribly when we get relegated. We stand to lose even more millions. 1. By all accounts he did not want to leave 2. He was integral to the team and the best player we had 3. Why not keep him until the end of the season, increase his value more, then sell him. Telling me Crystal Palace (and others) would have lost interest by then? Another outstanding decision from our glorious leadership. Rotten.
  16. You just have to laugh at it all. Shambles doesn't even start to cover it.
  17. Unfortunately, as he’s a Waggott appointment, I can’t see that happening anytime soon. If he toes the party line and doesn’t rock the boat the job is his as long as he wants it.
  18. His ‘no excuses’ line didn’t last very long. Knew that would come back to bite him when he said it. He isn’t up to it - 0 wins in 6? Really really poor first half. Second half better but damage was done. Imagine this season without Szmodics? Good grief.
  19. We are going down aren't we. That was the worst half of football I've seen in years. Togetherness......
  20. Interesting article: "They were cutting the budget" - Manager on leaving 'difficult situation' at Blackburn Rovers, pleased with present job - Sport Witness He has confirmed he was talking to the Swedish FA since December: Jon Dahl Tomasson left the club earlier this month but talks with Sweden first took place towards the end of December, a month after Janne Andersson stepped down from his post. He revealed this when asked to share what he felt when he first got a call from Sweden, and his comments are relayed by Aftonbladet. “We’ve been talking since before Christmas. The situation at Blackburn was a bit different then. But I got the perfect feeling right away that I wanted to be part of that journey. The conversations we had were extremely positive and I got a ‘wow’ feeling that I really want to be involved,” Jon Dahl Tomasson explained. Writing was on the wall since then - he was checked out clearly, hence the lack of willingness to change tactics or grind out results? Once the budget got cut and he got peed off in the summer, we should have parted ways. Ultimately Venkys are the reason he left. I am sure he will do well with them and go on to have a good managerial career at a European club.
