Comfortably numb

Funny how that £7m Mowbray “wasted” on Brereton seems to have been conveniently forgotten. Now it’s tie him to a long term deal , he’s worth more than AA. Just maybe he was bought as a 20 year old kid with potential, and that potential is starting to be realised.

I take your point, but I don’t believe that Mowbray doesn’t “get us”. He is from a working class background and often compares Blackburn with his Middlesbrough roots. If we were to say he isn’t “popular” with the fans , that is another point, but that is down to perceived failure on the field, not his affinity to the club. Steve Bruce is a lifelong Newcastle fan yet he is hated by the vast majority of Geordies because he hasnt been a success in their eyes. it’s simple, if your a success you will be liked by the fans, nothing to do with affinity imo

So, what are you saying, any future Rovers manager must either have lived in the area or have played for us in order to be considered? Would be a pretty short list. Maybe we could ask Dunny? Does Klopp have an affinity to Liverpool or Pep to City? No, they manage these clubs because they like the project. Then they move on, just like players

I am no financial expert, but was just wondering if someone could answer this question : If, and its a big if, Venkys were looking to sell, is it possible they could just write off the debt to make it more attractive to a buyer? I believe something similar happened at Sunderland when Ellis Short wrote off a £170m in order to sell to Stuart Donald. Sunderland are now apparently debt free. Whatever anyone thinks of Venkys I don't believe they have anything but the best interests of the club at heart

If you are a supporter it's through thick and thin, you support your team no matter what. You don't have to like the manager to support the team, especially in the current climate. No doubt when season ticket sales are down again people will just expect Venkys to put their hands in their pockets again (and get untold stick for it not being enough).

Look up the word 'support' sometime.

Thank Christ I`m not a Derby or Rotherham fan today. Don't think the heart could take it

Been unbelievable since he came on!

Not the amount we have had. Even Klopp can’t deal with the injuries Liverpool have had. It’s not easy

https://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/1069764071?-11198:839 Hypothetical I know but would love Slavisa Jokanovic if we could afford him. Foreign but with good knowledge of English football. However I still believe Mowbray deserves a season not decimated by injuries like this season to see where we really are

Bolton want Marcus Maddison. Remember him, the next big thing 😆

Going to have a glass or two later to celebrate another good window. Should be comfortably numb by 11pm

Charlton supposedly bid £500,000 for him so can't see it. Formed a great partnership down Crewes left hand side with Pickering apparently

Seemed to be playing more centrally as well, more of a number 10 a la Dack.

The way I read it is that the transfer COULD be worth UP TO 7m, depending as I said if all the clauses are met, presumably such as appearances, goals, international call ups. I don't recall an actual up front amount being mentioned at the time. I would also think that with his improvement over the last few months if we were ever to sell Brereton we could at least get our money back

No they weren't, its ironic that to prove a point about Mowbray, people trundle out these figures as if it was paid up front. We all know transfer fees are staggered over the years, and performance based. If most people on here are correct about them,we'll have nothing to worry about on that score.

If you want to talk "real" transfer fees then Gallagher and Brereton weren't anywhere near 12 million either

They wanted Branthwaite as well didn't they? Swings and roundabouts. We'll see.

It may have been the only way of getting the deal done. Perhaps Crewe said no deal unless that was agreed. They are in with a shout of the play offs so they could be thinking Pickering could help them up and then move on?

Now that’s a pitch!

Stoke City are poised to sign Sheffield United left-back Rhys Norrington-Davies on loan after he was recalled from his loan at Luton. #scfc #sufc #LTFC looks like Stoke have given up on Pickering 🤞

If I remember rightly, "Sir" Roger Jones was the keeper that day as well! My all time favourite keeper along with big Brad

Carter scores for Burton on his debut
