From the bloke who knows his dad: "He wanted to go to a European (competition) club, but was in no rush to get there".

They're getting all the plaudits for his performances too - it's sickening.

The pain never ends.

Both hands and no kneecaps.

You've spent £150m on transfer fees the last two seasons - you'll get a fraction of that back. You embarrassed yourselves this year - that's a pathetic points total. I'm amazed more aren't calling for Kompany's head.

Fair assessment. He's done it again today - circa £30m of transfer fees coming in, his response "it'll be used to pay wages." Then what's the fucking point of having rich owners? Especially ones that leave Ewood and the board room to rot and ruin?

£150m spent and every single Spurs player is better than their Burnley counterpart.

In name only. It's not the same club I supported as a kid.

Until he publicly complains about a lack of investment in the squad, then he'll be out on his arse like the rest.

Insignificant in the face of the thousands of fans that no longer engage with Blackburn Rovers due to the owners and their policies driving them away.

Yes, Blackburn Rovers.

What the hell are you talking about?

Do people realise what a Director of Football actually does?

We need our bloody CF to be a goal threat, along with the two wingers / wide players. CBs chipping in with set piece goals would be a nice cherry on top, but we're currently missing the whole cake.

Is Nixon on the Venkys payroll? He's always quick to jump to their defence.

And yet the club haven't acknowledged the hire at all. It's an easy PR win, yet they're missing an open goal - if he was indeed sacked for gross incompetence.

The Director of Football isn't 'Chief Scout'. You'd also have been better citing Wilcox or Dowie, if you're pushing for an ex-player being DoF. No doubt they've got actual qualifications though, unlike Rudy.

How so?

If we're sacking people for making mistakes, how is Waggott possibly still here?

I don't doubt that Wahlstedt is on decent money - we bought Kaminski for circa £300k and he was being run out of Gent. We had to hijack Wahlstedt's deal with another club.

I'm impressed - it's not even been announced yet and you're already positioning yourself to toe the party line. Great work.

Same old names being bandied around then. Amazing we're able to have any interest in anyone considering our DoF is leaving imminently.

Probably been told the budget for the summer after selling circa £30m of players and thought "Fuck that".

You mean Gary Bowyer's dad, right?

And yet the chief one remains pulling the strings.
