So that’s 9pm ? We should know by now- if we have sold him this makes ‘venkys ‘sense- sell all our best players and buy cheaper players on *even less* wages

Did hyam deal go through?

@chaddyrovers penny for your thoughts

Weird that they did not give jdt or JE £10m but they did give VI £10m does not make sense

Oh no way! Missed that somehow! so makes no sense why they still hold onto us - let us go !!

Agree entirely although, are they fooling the fans? I feel like they have just forgotten they own us - they’ve not made any statements or any comments or anything of late?

Any idea what our wage bill is now with these new lads? I wonder if the tsf fees are spread a bit or include add ons ? No way will we be spending £2m on a striker when we “could avoid spending anything” as a club (not as a fan obvs). But I mean they could argue we don’t need a striker as we have Leonard so is this new kid on lower wages than Leonard?

Yeh I thought so too but then why buy players? Like why do they spend money ? It seems to make no sense- we could easily bob around with freebies or loans or just renew a contract here or there but to buy a few players for over a £1m each doesn’t seem to fit the notion unless they want us to survive and potentially make money off these players? Like are they hoping we unearth some one who will be sold for a few mill?

I don’t understand why we are spending money, even £2m on players if our ambition as a club is to not stay up- some clubs don’t spend anything and we do- it is a bit baffling- we buy these random players, are they on low wages? Do we have a strategy as a club?

Whilst not our transfer I notice Diaz now joined rovers players again, I mean derby, it’s confusing times- all they need now is pears

Can’t be worse than big Sam G

Yeh and he father was a great striker so he’s got some good influence around him- hopefully he follows his father and progresses more like erling did

It’s true id be happy if he gets 20 goals for us this season we will sell everyone under this leadership so I accept that but if he gets 20 goals at least it gives us something to enjoy, unlike yesterday

So the only difference is weds owners aren’t even doing that ?

Who are worse off us or Sheffield Wednesday genuine question- similar situation

Hedges surprised us all

No that we can’t control-that’s a fixture list issue what we (our club) can control is how we set up ourselves in the summer training transfers operations structure and plan for the club coaching attract players with quality and desire galvanise that desire etc

You look at how Birmingham had the nerve to keep playing with desire and never give up even until 90+8 and this is a squad that has just been promoted and you see our collective of players who are not a team and have no leadership and you understand that it’s not the players fault but the lack of direction of the club over all it’s a sad state for us

So our captain wants to leave …. After playing 1 game for us this season he realised what a joke this club is.. Odds on for Derby?

Looks like he is not wanted by VI… https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25380785.blackburn-rovers-boss-update-out-of-favour-players/ Problem is what if no one comes in for him?

Should be a rule for all efl clubs to really encourage full turn outs and support clubs they should use the prize money to pay for stuff like this

Agreed entirely this is an income generating competition each round potentially =£ our players need mins together especially after watching the new ones yesterday we are Rovers we should be going for this competition

It hurts so much i get so much grief down here about being a Rovers fan especially these days

So true And we then buy defenders who can’t pass the ball out rinse and repeat we know what needs to change here

It was not top 10 performance or even top 15 first game of the season the lads should be roaring to go and be fully committed - no excuses, some of them just aren’t championship standards (?? Yet??) keep playing like this against better opposition and we will have a relegation battle by December and not one we can dig out.
