J*B

He’s currently got 15 months left with a 12 month extension in our favour - so 27 months. He’s due back January 2021, contract up 1st July 2022. I make that one window (Aug 2022) to sell him. I don’t see how under that pressure anyone is paying up

Those days are well gone - more like 6m after an ACL and a limited time to prove his fitness with a contract running down!

Don’t worry for a second how Dack fits back in. Prepare now for life after Dack.

Don’t worry about this season. The lads have proved there’s life after Dack. Summer is simple, replace Walton, replace Bell, get Tosin back, get one of Gallagher and Breo scoring.

I’m utterly astounded that Damien Johnson’s nickname is Jonty and not Jonno.

Do the right thing.

Could be a technical thing. To be honest we are winging it with no tech support nowadays, there’s all sorts of errors and updates needed in the website.

I can’t see any posts which have been hidden from you. How long ago are we talking here? I’ve only gone back 2 pages.

We all need to get out of the mindset that finishing 6th is a return the the Premier League. Even IF we finished 6th — for the record I am convinced we won’t — we would have to beat two clubs that over a season have been better than us. Very unlikely, but I think a top 10 finish is a decent achievement even still.

It was big Rovers fan, Matt Southall’s afternoon to be fair...

People won’t like this — and this will probably end up on Twitter — but I just can’t see us finishing in the top 6. Last year we fell apart at Brentford, I suspect it will be a case of ‘same again’. At no point this season have we comfortably held a spot in the top 6. I’ll start believing when we are holding on to a top six position and fighting for it. I hope I’m wrong! As a side point, Mowbray is doing very well to keep the team getting results during such an injury crisis.

No way on earth is Johnson going anywhere.

I’m of the belief Tony’s time is up, although I think he’s been a great manager for us. I mostly think time is up because I think all managers have a limited window to be successful in, whether that be Tony Mowbray or Jose Mourinho. If you study the data this cannot be argued for all modern day managers apart from Ferguson who bucked that trend. However, if we finish 9th and say 10 points off the top 6, I do think Tony could argue he would have got the top 6 with Dack, Cunningham and Holtby if there weren’t injured.

He’s certainly posting from Mexico.

For clarification, BRFCS represents the fans that use it. Anyone going to the meeting via BRFCS is only inadvertently representing us in so far as we will lose our ticket allocation if someone goes in and embarrasses themselves. Nobody is under any specific set of rules that they must report back to the forum. Everything ‘on the record’ gets published in the telegraph, everything ‘off the record’ I would suggest is kept off the record. The five tickets we are issued are available for every fan invitation event. I purposely don’t take one because I don’t want to be seen to take any privilege. If you want one for the next event, send me a PM.

Step forward, Breo...

If anyone going to this has any specific questions to be added to the agenda rather than talking points for the Q&A please message them to me.

Well done Phil on sorting this completely remotely! It should now be unlimited, previously it was 40 a day... how wasn’t 40 enough?!

Yeah I’ve found that, plus the reputation and reactions sub menu, but can’t find a way to change the amount you can give!

Places filled! Representing BRFCS will be: Paul Mani Arbitro Doogs Cherry Blue Songman You all need to report to the Jack Walker entrance at 6pm on Thursday 6th Feb. Give your name and they’ll direct you to the meeting. Let us know how you get on folks. I’ll post the agenda in this thread when I receive it.

I need you to reply to my DM! There is an agenda which is sent out in advance. Nothing needs to be submitted in writing.

All places filled. To those going, there’s typically an agenda they go through then a Q&A. Ask your questions away as they do typically answer them there and then. But please remember you’re representing BRFCS..!

UPDATE: I still can’t work out how to do this.

It isn’t - sorry to be clear, this is Thursday 6th.

Can you send me a DM with your full name please. One ticket left people.
