No chance, but Lenihan is only worth slightly more? So there is a chance that someone would pay more for Travis then Lenihan then?! Going back to a sale, Mowbray's recent comments point towards Nyambe being the likely one to be sacrificed I think, which would also let him give Bennett a full season at right back.

I think at the moment he would definitely. That was the summer before our league one campaign, apart from that I haven't seen a sniff of interest in Lenihan since. He's one of our better players don't get me wrong but i'm not convinced he's good enough for the top flight.

I presume you haven't been taking much notice of Mowbray in his time here? It's what he does!

I'm guessing you don't want him because he played for Burnley?

Shay Given was signed though wasn't he? Pretty sure he came up through Celtic's youth team.

Why does Mowbray keep shoehorning Bennett in at most opportunities? Benson is probably here because like Bennett, he is probably a "good human".

Yeah he's a good player. As said though, coming off a serious injury I'd be wary of him at the moment, I'm sure if our recruitment team are up to it we could find somebody just as good.

I'd put good money on Buckley not being a regular next season. Also if we're going into next season with Dack as a false 9 then I just don't see it working at all.

Cunningham would be the lazy option, so I fully expect him back. I'd be looking at Douglas from Leeds now they have gone up, really good left back from what I have seen of him.

Even Port Vale have sold nearly 2000 season tickets for next season...

He was never going there, too much of a risk. Another few years at Rangers in the top two, pick up a couple of trophys and be in prime position for when Klopp calls it a day.

Wasn't that before the pandemic though?

No wonder we went from 6th to 15th the season after.

Yeah I vaguely recall something similar (about the money not the woman). He then went and spent most of it on Barry Ferguson.

I think Chelsea were the only one's to hit Duff's release clause at the time.

A quick google search tells me that he's 27, played less than 100 games, with no competitive games since since May 2018. Sounds about right for the market we will probably be operating in this summer!

If there's no away fans, I'm sure we can socially distance the 8000 max (and I don't think it will be anywhere near that figure at the start) in the 4 stands at Ewood. Obviously there will be quite a few that will be precious about there seat, but when that's sorted I believe that anybody who wants to go at the moment would be able to under them restrictions.

I've gone for Armstrong, mainly for the sheer quality of his goals, and the way he stepped up to being the main man after Dack's injury.

Probably be a similar deal to Raya, we'll get about £3m for Nyambe moving on this summer, which will probably go towards a winger that will never play. At least that way though it's a huge distraction out of the way for Mowbray and he can let Bennett have a full season at right back, because "who else have we got to play there"?

Well, we now know what league we're going to be in next season. Not that it makes a blind bit of difference.

That article was the best, and most thought provoking one that I've read from Sharpe. There is a big chunk of the fanbase that go by the "this club and Mowbray must not be criticised ever by anyone" mantra.

We'll probably win this pretty comfortably because nobody cares.

I was under the impression that if they finish more than 12 clear of bottom 3 it will be next season, if not it'll be this season. Who knows though with the EFL.

I'd personally say someone who plays off the front, he's certainly not a leader of the line from what I have seen of him. All his clips we saw prior to him signing was of him picking up the ball a bit deeper and running at players.
