Yeah looks like a hostage situation, "you can go but tell everyone it was fine."

It's absolutely inexcusable to not renew these contracts earlier.

My biggest gripe in losing Brittain isn't seeing him move clubs, it's the club he's moving to and the fact it's totally unnecessary. He is the perfect Rovers Championship player who should be staying with us a long time as we push to actually do something. It shouldn't have been hard to convince him to stay, so the question has to be asked to the board why can't we? He's not good enough to attract Premier League interest, so why the hell are we losing him and why is he so quick to jump ship in what will be a Eustace style sideways and confusing switch to Boro. On top of that it's the usual missed full revenue because Suhail Pasha is unable to orchestrate contract renewals proactively, or influence the owners to allow for attractive renewals of our better players into the budget. A basic function for an employee of his "level". The circumstances for this departure are horrible again, unacceptable. We have to get Pasha and Venky's out of this club. As a fan it's my main ambition for the season, it's all I want to see happen at the club now. Their time is up. Players want to leave because the club isn't managed properly, managers want to leave because the club isn't managed properly. When is the entire fan base going to wake up and see? The majority have. Sell the club and allow owners to come in who will appoint a proper CEO, and reconnect the fans at one of the best clubs in England. They should be ashamed. Get the club listed for sale!!

Let's crank it up and get them all gone this season!

Can we get a laughter emoji alongside the thumbs up option. There's too much to laugh at at this club and forum needs a bit of it!

The amount of money being spent by Rovers is pathetic.

Can someone please name the signings who are going to start the first game of the season and make a difference? Ideally would like Rudy Gestede to answer that. Embarrassing stuff. Get the owner's to INVEST properly in the first XI before it's too late. That means at least...... a winger (or 2), a STRIKER, an established centre midfielder and an athletic centre back!

So far it's a window of cheap, under delivering and zero ambition. They are working within a barely "Championship" budget and planting leaks to players we have no intention of spending the fee required. Venky's Out, Pasha Out! It won't change until they are gone.

I'm surprised Ismael doesn't want more players. 2 more is hardly the rebuild we were promised by Gestede or the exciting time. 4 - 5 more would be nice. We have been sleeping for weeks now, snail's pace and little ambition as always.

Great move for him. He isn't good enough.

A centre back with pace and power is still needed. Fairly certain Ismael will want that but it will cost you more than £500k.

We will need to replace Brittain's crossing ability, so whoever comes in needs to either be very good technically or extremely quick instead. Nyambe is neither, and is a downgrade.

Salford City and Marine FC have also signed 3 guys, so that isn't really the point. If that's enough to keep you happy given the bigger picture then it does seem fairly shortsighted. I'm not saying this is you but the happy-clapping through leadership negligence, watching former players, current players, former managers, longstanding staff members, facilities and an entire women's team suffer at the hands of terrible ownership and a disingenuous board and accepting that is also very, very boring and wrong. There are some major problems at the club currently, one is no CEO and another is no one you would trust to identify and appoint a competent one. It currently isn't sustainable, there is an ownership issue, there is a board issue, major mistakes are being made... and it can't be ignored by everyone.

It's the perfect player for Blackburn Rovers to unsuccessfully bid on then isn't it.

Carter might not be present and Batth gone, yet they aren't submitting good enough offers on centre backs. Messing around for months. We need two. The player catch up and need to spend more is our own making due to total negligence. Sort it out and get fit players with good pedigree into training now!! Offer acceptable contracts and rebuild some spirit with long term objectives/ incentives and start acting like a serious football club..... or sell up and give it to someone who will.

Rovers seem experts in having offers rejected. Transfers and first team contracts.

We're actually in big trouble here with the limited fees spent and squad unrest on the contract front.

Happy to be back on the pitch, and to do what i love te most, after 7.5 months of injury!⚽️🙌 #comeback Fits the profile.

We're tyre kicking... total time wasters... and most links to more established players with values in the £2m+ region won't materialise until we have a new board and owners.

What on earth is going on at the club. Where is the rebuild??? The season starts in just over 20 days.

Brittain is probably the only player we have that might not have looked out of place technically in the prem, great touch and delivery. It's a disgrace he wasn't offered a contract earlier. Difficult to comprehend the level of incompetence at board and ops level at Rovers given the size of the club and money involved.

For what it's worth I don't think he's worth that but what I do think is we should have renewed his contract 2 years ago and sold him for £2m if possible. We are an inexcusably bad business model and in normal circumstances anyone behind these failures would be fired. It's laughable.

I bet he doesn't transfer once in his career for anything over £3m. Hard-worker, poor technique, weak finisher, not that quick but is over inflated because he's young, English and has played way too many games at an underinvested club. We've made him appear better than he is. I'm absolutely certain he wouldn't have got the number of appearances he did with us at any other top 8 Championship club... and he's cashing in on it. He's low risk now but I'm not sure anyone decent ever would have taken the risk on him.

Tronstad is a better player than Travis in my opinion. Decent with both feet, blocks or intercepts almost everything at times and retains the ball better. I'm sure plenty disagree but I was shocked at how good he was in some games last year. Travis is more legs, in your face, passion, less technique... but I'd rather they were both out there. You need to retain those qualities and that kind of depth if you want to do anything serious in this league.

That's called a severely underfunded rebuild. How lucky we are!
