Who says he’s a victim? He’s an adult, a professional and he’s made a decision that as you say has him financially set - good for him. But was he angling for a move a la Phillips? No, not in the slightest, but the club needed him out the door as the owners can’t meet their financial obligations without regular visits to a foreign court.

A ‘good deal’ for the agent, a ‘good deal’ for Adam financially, a ‘good deal’ objectively for a lad not yet 20. But I’ll repeat how is this a ‘good deal’ for Blackburn Rovers when you yourself know we’ll hardly see a penny?

Decent deal for who then? Certainly not Blackburn Rovers.

There have been many low points over these disgraceful 13 years, but not many have left me as utterly bereft as today. A local lad, a Rovers fan loving his football, playing with his brother, a talent to build a side around, or at some point down the road to use his big money sale to strengthen and push us on towards the promised land… Instead, he’s pushed out the door to ease cash flow for a few months due to some billionaires getting embroiled into god knows what financial shenanigans half way round the world. I’d say shameful but ‘shame’ is the one emotion this lot are incapable of experiencing.

Indeed, plenty of others aren’t stupid, that’s why they’ve long fucked this farce off.

A hell of a lot of people just aren’t very bright, they have no critical thinking skills. Couple that with the ‘be kind’, ‘be positive’ mantras of a load of folk on social media and the incompetence and negligence at this club is given a free pass. And of course just to top it off is the embarrassingly craven local media that is more than happy to toe the line to ensure unfettered access to the one thing that still gets clicks in an era where local journalism has collapsed - the local football club. No scrutiny or accountability at any level at that club and by god does it show.

The Tony Parkes (non) Riverside just sums up the malaise of this past 13 years. Would’ve been an easy win, minimal costs, be a great PR occasion for the club and most importantly would have meant the world to Tony’s family - yet it is just kicked into the long grass and forgotten about. A zombie club.

So off on loan he’ll go. Middlesbrough or wherever… but on triple the money.

We’ll get to Friday - ‘very clever by the club to keep our power dry, this season is over anyway, we can now properly invest in the summer’. 1st September comes around - ‘Err you do know we can’t spend money, we’re skint, we’ve shit fans and there’s FFP. Thank god for Venky’s is what I say’.

If you could actually answer my question- How do you know he wouldn’t then buckle down to help his teammates for three months? He’s the long established club captain. You obviously have a very poor opinion of his character.

So you tell him no, we’ve got a small squad, with players leaving, injuries, you’ll get plenty of minutes - we’ll look at it again in the summer.

And Tronstadt gets injured on Saturday? It’s a squad game and you may have noticed our very weak one has seen us crash down the table.

Indeed and three weeks later a regular midfield starter leaves so every chance he’d now be back in the team. That’s football, it’s a long season, you don’t just loan out any senior player that isn’t in the side - especially with a squad as young, injury prone and small as this.

Nobody ever seems to think their job is untenable here, everyone just plods along with what they’ve got to work with until they retire or end up out of contract.

‘Let’s see how they use the money now’. Well it hasn’t even gone through yet and there’s about 40 hours to go to the window shuts… and if anyone thinks the team will be seeing any of it in five months time, well, must have been a nice cave you’ve just spent 13 years in.

Not sure about that, John Williams was someone else he had an irrational dislike of Always ploughed a lone furrow has our Rev 😁

It’s only the ‘best case scenario’, ‘the model’ if a decent percentage of this is put back in the team. Then yes, you use it to strengthen in key areas and actually could end up a stronger overall side. The Model in action. However, I would say receiving this cash now, in the midst of overseas authorities blocking funds being sent to the club, so ergo no liquidity, is the ‘worst case scenario’ as it’s bills that will be the things being paid with this bonus windfall.

Also true.

It’s why RAWK the Liverpool forum lock the thread during games as folk do get carried away in the moment. Personally I don’t see the need to post during the match anyway, just watch it, as positive or negative it all gets lost in the noise.

There’s about 20 pages of it on the transfer thread…

They could start with an episode where they are dressing up Blues Bar in Liverpool merch and nobody at the club knows a thing about it. Be a cracking show in the farce genre.

The standard home turnout has been 12.5k/13k this season.
