2025 Summer Transfer Thread. 😂

No chance, watch.... He might even fancy being a mercenary though to be fair if he thinks he can earn more brass moving around short term. -

The Hull owner is another crackpot akin to the V's but even solid local ownership doesn't guarantee anything ie Middlesbrough but there isn't the backdrop of noise and stupidity to continually piss fans off. And the chances of either of those getting it right before us is very strong i'd say. -

And who will easily be sold for that if he does well so that's the investment to consider for any buying club. If he helps fire a decent Championship outfit to promotion then it's peanuts. -

That'll be their problem it's no different to here really any neutral watching last season would probably say Dolan is the £20k a week player not Cantwell. I'm sure a lot of the players think the same especially when several million has been spaffed in the last couple of years on duds like Dennis, Ennis and Fleck. All better paid than a lot of our academy grads no doubt. -

Dolans on a free so pretty standard ask for wages that is at this level. If someone tipped up a million quid for him then gave him 10k a week 2 year contract it's the same difference really. -

Will we balls these are nothing more than leg stretching exercises. We already know what we need and presumably so does the head coach but like those before him he'll get what he's given and lump it, if he's lucky that is. -

This is our future under reduced funding. They'll assume bigger gates than Barnsley and bigger income in league 1 but offset by a bigger more costly academy, however that will be used to supply almost the entire first team squad. -

Definitely needed to step down a league that lad and will probably do alright there, good luck to him. -

They've clearly got AI on the case now across social media. Quite what they hope to gain by it i don't know because it just adds to getting peoples backs up and it won't be free so just another waste of money. -

Who is in charge of the commercial stuff the over promoted Arsenal turned Rovers fan from Luton ? -

He'll end up signing a one year extension with a 2 million release clause. Which with the way things are here now is probably a good deal for both parties. -
Venky’s (& Suhail) Out Protest Ideas
Tomphil2 replied to DuffsLeftPeg's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Waggot said if he was to leave there was a period of notice to be given from either side so he's probably still serving that and maybe still doing some duties. They'll change the companies house when they've found the correct stooge to place in front of themselves. -

Offensively Cantwell at no 10 should be good but his workrate and tracking back is unlikely to be great. -

Bad advice, they'll get it right give them a chance at least they fund the club 20 million a season or we'd be Bury lad........ -

Tomphil2 replied to Proudtobeblue&white's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Yup anything and everything is about the £ now we are completely run by outsiders and not even a Waggot who being a North East fella at least had a modicum of football in his blood. The prospect of Suhail, Gestede and the Indian finance fella having carte blanche to run this club the next few years under ever increasing constraints is horrific. They understand nothing except basic maths. As for the Derby game it should be fans day again and £10 a ticket with kids a quid but almost certain they'll kill it with ticket prices and it'll get moved for the telly box anyway. -

Nice enough but nothing special or unique about it, people really go over the top with this 3rd kit lark these days. Marketing men's wet dreams £££ -

They are recruiting a new 'CEO' to do the odd jobs the other two can't do, whilst they both hide behind him/her. -

We have been supplemented by still having players brought in on decent wages like Cantwell etc but no doubt that will go out of the window now. Its been rather counter productive when they started this policy seemingly by not paying others the going rate which they'd proven to earn, so we lose them without fees. -

Promoted into the first team because they'd grown up together and formed a great youth team. Not thrown in because the first team was so short on numbers and skint. It'll be a different kind of history this club writes. -
Also a point worth noting we are quite unique in terms of we have one of the biggest stadiums in the Championship yet one of the smallest towns but surrounded by plenty of places people used to travel from to watch. Now if you can't offer Prem football or even a top class Championship team - despite 200 million and billionaire owners - you have to do something radical to get more in regularly, because they are out there, thousands of them. What do the clowns running the club do ? Everything possible to shrink the fanbase and token gestures just to try and maintain what's left of it. Fans on social media need to consider this instead of just slagging off the attendances for 'likes'.

Who benefits from such a consistent turnover of players and staff i wonder ? Because it seems club policy again here now. -

The 200 million pounds question. Plenty theories that might make sense but non proved so far. -

Whilst the systemic managed decline is obviously cranking up a gear i think it's all designed so they can continue this fruitless ownership under a far lower cost lower hassle model.
