But I feel like whats being missed is how good (or otherwise) Lenihan was when he played in midfield for us. His ball retention was nowhere near good enough, and he struggled to maintain a starting place despite the competition being Lowe, Akpan, Guthrie etc.
He moved back to centre back and him and Mulgrew struck up an excellent partnership, and are 2 of our key players and consistent performers. I feel like their actual defensive contribution is underestimated, neither are giants but they are decent aerially and they would be a lot less effective and leave a massive gap if they moved into midfield.
He moved to the back out of necessity. Lenihan could easily do the ball winner job in midfield that Smallwood does.

If there's anyone on twitter who wants to ask the Posh chairman if Rovers are in for any of their players I'm sure he will answer.

Have player departures been taken into consideration. End of contracts, end of player loans and cut in wages some players took to Remain at the club in League One, not to mention new contracts?
Nobody knows the budget mate, everyone is just guessing. But if our wage bill was £8.5m last year then it stands to reason it may have gone back up if contractual wage increases on promotion have kicked in.

I should have added more context to my previous comments
some of the games have been boring and not interested for a neutral fan.
When I said brilliant I meant in terms of the atmosphere of the games, no trouble or racism chanting as I expect and the stadiums look brilliant and Russia as a country deserves credit for the stadium and the fact they has been no trouble or racism
Fair enough but I think it's been the best World Cup for as long as I remember and I've watched nearly every match.

Sheff Utd have just sold a young winger called Brooks to Bournemouth for £12m. A Blades fan asked on twitter if Maddison was coming to replace him. Posh chairman replied no but that 2 clubs were close to agreeing terms with Maddison. Apparently he has a £2.5m release clause.

I just can't get my head around somebody paying for a season ticket and watching the second half in a bar (unless I've misunderstood).
It takes all sorts I suppose.

It's gone from boring to brilliant in less than a page!

There isn't such thing as a "transfer budget", there's a budget for contract renewals, agent fees, transfer fees and wages. That is 18m (so I've been told). Which is why there are target lists A, B and C. If you allocate a large section of the budget for one player on the A list you'll have to look at players on the C list for other position. Worth remembering not many transfers are paid up front, so if we sign a 1million pound player on a 4 year deal in most cases that 1m would be split up over 4 years, in some form, e.g. 400k, 300k, 250k, 150k.
Which is why I asked because last years WAGE budget (Mowbray specifically referred to a WAGE budget) was £8m so it follows that the overall budget last season was more than £8m. Something doesn't add up.
There you go. The WAGE bill last season was £8.5m. Your £8m figure for everything (transfers, wages, renewals etc) is obviously wrong. Maybe you misunderstood what you were told.

Circa 8m operating budget in League 1. Circa 18m in the Championship. Or so I've been told. If true, don't worry, the signings will come. We will see within the next 2 or 3 weeks.
£8m was the WAGE budget last season. Mowbray said so. Are you saying the WAGE budget has gone up by £10m or are you including the transfer budget in that as well?

Circa 1.5 in the summer, and about a half mill on Bell. 2 mill in league one....3 mill in the champs doesn't sound excitable to me.
Sounds like common sense based on what has already been said. Some are just getting excitable. Must be the weather.

Of course 3 million is excitable compared to the last few years, where have you been ?
Not much point discussing it if you are going to ignore my post and make a patronising comment. Read my post again the answer is there. You're the excitable one.

Should ha e read this before I commented.

So for £60 you get admittance to Blues and the option of watching the 2nd half in there. Otherwise you just pay £1 on the door every match with no option to watch the 2nd half in there.
If you pay a quid on the door pre_match can you go back in for free after the match?

I would, don’t think he’s great at centre half if I’m honest. Prefer Downing there
Why?

What's the thinking regarding him playing in the Smallwood role if we do get a new centre half in ?
Mowbray has mentioned Lenihan's pace and athleticism being a vital asset at the back as it allows the back 4 to push up the pitch. You can't do that with a back 4 of Downing and Charlie. Downing is a stopper who is good in the air but he is very slow on the turn. Watch the Bristol Rovers goal we conceded at home. Downing gets caught following his man to the halfway line and gets embarrassingly turned. Granted the lad is quick but there will be a lot of quick players in the Championship. Basically with Downing and Charlie at the back our defensive line wouldn't be far outside our own box and so we'd be stretched all over the pitch. If Lenihan is moved into midfield we would need to replace him with pace not just height.

Let's just hope they aren't putting the squeeze on him then he gets presented with certain lists to choose from when he gets desperate for bodies.
Freebie market should get moving now though so this week could see something.
Seen figures of 3-5 mill bounded about on here as a transfer budget, now i'm happy to be corrected and hope to be proved wrong but I think some of the more excitable need to have a rethink on that.
Sharpe said more than last summer. Last summer was £1.5m. We also didn't spend all the budget available according to Mowbray. £3m is hardly excitable.

Uruguay are the Burnley of international football. Two defensive banks of 4 and dull as shite. Glad Portugal scored.

He's been given a clear mandate from Pune...screw the fans for all their worth.
Problem is with the local financial demographics you can only go so far.
Or he's told Pune that's what he'll do. After all he said he made all the decisions. I doubt anyone in Pune told him to raise the Blues bar entry price to £2.60.

Nope. As we’ve discussed, the social media at a Ewood this year has been much better- this is today’s example of our “1 goal a day from last season”- ending when next season starts.

No its not. Its a wage budget. Clubs have a figure they spend on wages. It's listed in the accounts as such. That's why Mowbray was specific about a wage budget last season being £8.5m. It's there in black and white on the article. That's why he also got a separate transfer budget of £1.5m as stated in the article. You clearly didn't understand what you got told.
So the question remains does the £18m you claim is our budget relate to just wages or everything else as well...because the £8m budget you claim was last year's budget for everything was actually just for WAGES ONLY (unless of course you know more than Mowbray). Your figures are wrong somewhere so clarification would be good.
