‘Vertical passing’ is bloody comical though 😅… even you must agree there!?

So what we selling next time?

Will it? ’he wasn’t going to sign anyway, good to get a lad in that wants to play for us!’

Correct me if I’m wrong, but with the AA transfer and the ‘sale’ of Brockhall to themselves, FFP has been satisfied medium term… so surely owners that ‘never refuse a cheque’ will very much be signing them over the next couple of weeks with the club on the cusp of hitting the financial jackpot?

Surely, *surely*, one of our top players who has been key to this change up the table won’t be sent to our arch rivals as a makeweight to bring in a 33 year old journeyman? It’s times like this when an Exec structure with no ‘Rovers men’, but instead an accountant, a used car salesman and some Pune conduit nobody ever sees makes you very worried…

That is what the article a couple of pages back is alluding to. Longers won’t have it though…

Oh

Good to see the fella behind that ‘US Soccer Guy’ Twitter account actually got a real journo gig…

Struggling to see how ‘Waggott has turned the club around’ even in that puff piece. In just the last twelve months alone this is the bloke that tried to flog off Brockhall, was trying to price some matches for a club that had just finished 15th in the second division at £40 and oversaw our worst ST sales for thirty years.

About 6 goals a game on average, some manager that Pep…

But then, a week before the most needed pay day of the year it would have been priced at £30 to £36…

I can’t tell when these BBD stories are real or spoofs anymore…

Time to bring what home? Post Fulham the fans have been great at Ewood.

Bit silly to completely discount well connected football journalists just because you don’t like the political output of the wider paper (though I suppose it’s best if you do!)

Very easy to just go ‘well it’s only the Mail’ But I always look to the byline, Matt Hughes has been around the industry for a long time, formerly of The Times. But at the end of the day, it’s all a bit of a holding pattern and nothing will probably come from any of it until/if you go down…

What’s that got to do with his managerial ability?

Plenty of ‘vertical passes’ from Darragh went straight to their centre halves last night…

What was it John Claret et al in the LT comments used to always say? Oh yes, “tick tock”… https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10419993/Pay-delays-raise-alarm-Burnleys-financial-position.html#comments-10419993

Two years of his career gone, in his prime too. Even if he comes back as good as he was, still a real shame.

Since the actual big prize has emerged as a real chance, the tinkering had stopped entirely, which tells me that half of it in previous seasons was because there was no pressure; none on him, none on his job, none to sell players, no real possibility of going up or down. Last night was partially enforced, though there could and should have been more like for like changes made, but hopefully it will have now been rammed home to him that unless he’s no choice due to large amounts of players being unavailable, stick with the personnel and system as there ain’t much else there behind that fist XI…

Though you can’t say a word against the post 1990 shed to some on here…

Apart from the last twenty years…

You the bloke that has only just started coming again after donkeys years away?

Speaking of the IOM. The Rovers Return in Douglas is still a Blackburn Rovers pub…

And that has nothing to do with the fact that before Covid pretty much all clubs offered pay on the day, whilst now many don’t, it is obviously nothing to do with ‘police bills’.
