There's intelligence and then there's football intelligence. I remember watching Wayne Rooney as 17 year old player. He wasn't clever in real terms but even then he knew the score out on the pitch. Football brain wise he had it even at that young age. Same with Gazza, daft lad but what a footballer.

Hang on a minute matey, " we " didn't spend the £12 million. Whoever decided to bet the ranch on those two want's to get to " Spec-Savers " right away.

How do you get to be an agent. I could do with a bit more easy money. Will I have to get out of this armchair ?

Was that before the fans lynched him ?

That's the equivalent of Tony's Tombala team selection. Absolutely no continuity. Would you be happy working for a company that went through executives at that rate ? I wouldn't.

It's just you. The lad's finished at serious pro level. He'll need two walking sticks now.

What war chest ?

Mowbray's left us with a handful of magic beans.

I'll be putting a stone in mine.

I don't know, I thought my advice to them was very good - two words, one starts with F the other ends with F.

I wouldn't swap him for Lenihan and I'm not 100% sold on him.

I've only seen Bauer once and that was on TV but my impression was he wasn't anything special at all. Worrying that we chased him for so long.

It'll be interested to see how that one turns out. Maybe he ditched the ripped jeans ?

Yeah I don't know why you bother Stuart .All their other signings have been good apart from Raya. What can you say ? I suppose you need eyes that see.

Good job they weren't making these flags a year or two back. The manager would have been gone before the flag was finished.

There were plenty more on here that got carried away with that signing ! £ 7 million = he must be a good player. Err, not always. Ditto the Gallagher signing.

It was obvious at the time if you didn't get carried away with the thrill of chucking major dosh at a kid that most of us had never heard of.

No you're right, that would take somebody with integrity. Not many of them around in pro football.

The owners have absolutely no plan what so ever. They've already forgotten all about football, Blackburn and anything else.They don't know how to resolve the situation so they are just ignoring the issue ostrich style.

My youngest son texted me that Big Sam had been fired. The first thing I did after I put my phone down was look at the League table and see how many points we needed to get to 40 pts. I knew immediately we were in deep shit.

We got the wrong keeper from Brighton. That Sanchez on loan at Rochdale looks a better bet to me.

Brighton obviously don't think so.

So what is it now then ?

It's a mugs game unless you have top class players playing in those positions.

Maybe they're knocking it around the back four and midfield most of the game like we do. You need the ball in the danger area to score goals.
