Fascinating how there still hasn't been any movement on the contracts of Travis, Tronstad or Brittain... Don't get me wrong, i'm not surprised in the slightest - but it just never ceases to amaze me how badly run our once great Club is. We really are a basket case of the absolute highest order.

Yup! Classic Venky's Rovers... trying to make it look like they're trying by tabling stupid lowball offers that they know will be rejected.

In other news... we've also had a £10m bid rejected for Cole Palmer. Love the ambition, they're trying their little best! Seems like the selling Clubs are just being greedy.

Pretty quiet at the minute, any chance of an @unleaded update? 👀

No chance, could easily get over £1m from a Championship Club for him. Then if Man Utd (or any other PL Club) still want him as their 4th choice, double it.

Couldn't help but notice that Pears is conspicuously missing from all the new GK kit marketing. Their latest X post even features one of the younger goalies (Michalski I think) alongside Toth. Couple that with Toth being touted as next season's #1... pretty much confirms that Pears will be sold this window! Should be a cool little £1m-2m in the transfer kitty Venky's pockets.

The article suggests there's a semi-decent chance Brittain signs, and perhaps a small chance Tronstad will too? However, I personally wouldn't bet a single penny on that happening. The more likely scenario is that the muppets running the place will let it drag on and on, then (if anything) low-ball them, talks come to a hold... inevitably, they'll end up getting snapped up by a normal Club with a bit of ambition. Travis, I personally don't think there's even a slight chance that he stays. He'll be sold this window to the first bidder... gonna be gutted! The tough reality is that the Club don't really want to keep them, certainly not on higher wages for multiple years. They'd much sooner cash in on all 3, bring in cheaper alternatives (probably free agents/loans on miniscule wages), then pocket the c. £8m from their transfer fees... the Venky's will be delighted.

This cracked me up. "We're very happy with your client, Balazs Toth, so much so that he will be our number one next season... anyway, this is how much we want for him." Honestly, this Club...

Could it be? Is he... gone? 👀

Rudy: Hello! We’re interest in your fine defender, Modibo Sagnan. Montpellier: Ah yes, Modibo! Solid player. Are you looking to make an offer? Rudy: We are indeed! So... can we have him? Montpellier: Of course, if the price is right! What are you thinking? Rudy: Here’s the twist - what if, and hear me out... you just give him to us? Montpellier: What? Like... for free? Rudy: Think of the wage savings! The changing room space... Montpellier: Yeah okay no. Not gonna happen, goodbye. Rudy: Wait wait wait! Montpellier: *deep sigh* What now? Rudy: I was joking! Classic Rudy, right? Let’s get serious - it’s time to advance with this. Montpellier: Oh hahaha, you sneaky little rascal. Alright, alright - let’s talk! Rudy: Hahaha... perfect. Now tell me this: Do you... like Pringles?

One down! All focus can now go on the King Rat... Suhail.

Would be a good signing, though a few Clubs are apparently in for him - which rules us out!

Can't imagine this team right now would finish any higher than 12th next season - but as we all know, this team is about to change massively... There are so many variables, but for Rovers recruitment is everything for the next few months. Can't see a scenario where we'll be anywhere near the top, simply based on the other teams and their finances/ambitions; You've got Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton coming down with squads that could already dominate this league - but they'll also each have buckets of cash. Then you've whoever doesn't win the playoffs - 3 of Sheff Utd, Sunderland, Coventry and Bristol City. To top it off... you've then got Birmingham and Wrexham coming up with solid squads already (particularly Brum) but then they've also got shit loads of disposable cash and massive pull in the market. I genuinely expect Birmingham to spend loads and be challenging at the very top. In my opinion, we'll be nowhere near it!

Mustapha Bundu would be a coup; Free Agent at the end of the season, not currently on huge wages. 10 goals and 6 assists for a terrible Plymouth this season. One of Kargbo's pals as well, a fellow Sierra Leone international (remember they snapped a pic together when we played). Makes a lot of sense, he's fast, dangerous in attack and clearly hitting his prime. On the other hand, I imagine other suitors would probably come in with better offers than us... but hopefully the Club show at least a little ambition and give it a go!

Knowing our luck, the results will go our way... then we'll get smashed 3-0 off Sheff Utd's B team 😅 But no, on a serious note - come on lads! Just focus on winning our game, then see what unfolds 💙

This is 4th time in a row i've rejected free tickets to a Rovers game, couldn't pay me to go at the moment... and I certainly won't be watching it on the tele. Just feel really fed up and disconnected with the Club, it'll take some drastic changes before I set foot in Ewood again. Right now, the only thing that's sparking an interest for me is the fantastic work by Glen and others - momentum is rapidly building, the owners are being exposed, and the board are under serious pressure... it's glorious!

There's a company that has a perk, in which employee's can win complementary tickets to every home game, a limited amount. The person who sorts it all says nobody is even entering to win them anymore... he can't even give them away!

Hold on a minute... you're taking the super optimistic route?! I'm very shocked, not like you mate!

The wrong date that was originally in the thread title had me thinking the match was tonight... When I woke up, still thinking it was tonight, that feeling of dread (with a hint of betrayal) set in... knowing that i'd likely end up in a bad mood after another predictable loss. I watch every game, whether at Ewood or on TV, and it’s usually one of the highlights of my week - but lately, it’s just different. I’m relieved to find the match is actually tomorrow. Would much rather spend my evening on the PS5... This is where i’m at now - I just feel like that spark is going.

Not a chance our bunch of bottle jobs get anything here. Playoffs are 100% gone. 2-0 Stoke, Gallagher and Moran to score.

Can't imagine it sits well with the lower earners in the Rovers squad; grafting their asses off during training and matches, whilst knowing that the fat little used car salesman Waggott, who's actively destroying the Club, is earning more than them.

Balaji: Good news, I just got off the phone to Suhail - he said another team ummm, FC Crystals, want to buy someone called Andy Wharton from us. Listen to this; he's only 20, from the Academy... and they're offering £18m! Madame Desai: £18m?! Wow seems a lot for a player, he must be good yes? Balaji: Hahaha no! I just searched him on Googles, and guess what? He doesn't even score loads of goals... he's rubbish! Madame Desai: He doesn't even score loads of goals? Ha, yes very rubbish. Quick accept the money - go tell Suhail! Balaji: Already told him. Suhail says we don't have to send money from my party fund to the Club now... get Akon on the phone, i'm throwing another! Madame Desai: Another party? You just had one this weekend! Whatever... *Venkatesh walks in eating a pakora* Balaji: Hey Venkatesh, you hear that about Alex Wharton? £18m to Crystals? Venkatesh: No, is this about the uh Football Team we own.. Blackburns? Balaji: Yes about the Blackburns.. Venkatesh: Oh okay! Wow £18m, does he score loads of goals? Balaji: *smirking* no... he's rubbish hahahaha! Venkatesh: Nice hahaha, Venky's 1 Crystals 0.

These caught my attention when I was at the Norwich game the other day, they look like they have actual shit on them - embarrassing. The transparent panels on the roof of the Blackburn End also looked very murky from where I was sat... doesn't look like these have been cleaned recently.

"The amount of additional funding required will be dependent on the net proceeds of any player trading" At any other Club this would actually be perfectly reasonable, and inline with the Brentford model; - Snap up a player with high potential (or bring them through the Academy). - Use and improve them, then sell them on for a big profit. - Reinvest a good chunk of that on replacement(s). - Use the difference towards bills for the Club. - Rinse and repeat. Would have absolutely no problem with that... it'd work wonders for the Club, the playing squad, and the owners. However, this is the Venky's we're dealing with - they use practically every penny from player sales towards the bills, and reinvest absolutely shag all... considering how successful they've been in the world of business, they're fucking idiots.

I agree - hence why I also put this bit which was deleted from your quote... However, we have a team capable of getting bummed 3-0 by a horribly out of form Swansea. This is the difference, I can see us getting maybe 6 points, if we're being generous.
