I just can't see how Chapman is 500k in this market. Even with 12 months left on his deal and after two big injuries. Regardless we won't pay any figures like 2m quid upfront for anyone we sign.

I don't think he's ever revealed where he's getting it from. In better news I know a massive Rovers fan whos house overlooks the main pitch at Brockhall village. RE training he said to me this week: "Mowbray has got them out twice a day, for longer than i've ever seen them training before". So at least we're training this pre-season.

He's often broke transfer news - especially during the Bowyer era, on here first.

Unleaded is often bang on and may well be on this occasion. However... Its the opposite that I was told - by a former very Senior member of staff at Rovers - who said Mowbray had asked for a 20m investment for this season and walked away from the meeting in India with a 10m promise (again, to be clear, football clubs don't have 'transfer budgets', they have seasonal budgets to include new contracts, transfer fees, wages, agents fees etc), which I posted here. To be clear, that doesn't mean i'm right and Unleaded is wrong - he's certainly got form for being right and i'm absolutely not saying the 10m increase is 100%.

Absolutely fine to sell Rovers items here - but to be clear BRFCS is not involved in the process and accepts no liability in it. If you choose to buy this its between yourself and the seller to negotiate payment and delivery.

He got Kean'd. Everything that keaner touches ends up going south.

Sounds like he's found his level.

We're starting this season 3 at the back. I'm convinced of it.

Just to be absolutely clear any purchases here are not through BRFCS.

Probably circa 20m. He'll be on 40k+ wages too I imagine.

This makes sense. Attacking quick winger.

Found this interesting - I'm sure Glenn wont mind me sharing.

24 hour ban for suggesting something other than the final countdown.

Tomlinson going out on loan to Accy.

Nikola Kalinic. Refused to come on in the group stages. Got sent home by the manager. Misses the opportunity to play in the World Cup final. It could be worse.

The touts outside the stadium are pricing them at double your money. £550 for a £285 ticket. Plenty for sale if you're willing to pay. Then there's option B and wait to the very last moment trying to call their bluff.

Totally, but the club has changed big time in terms of people in position of knowledge. Its a long time ago since I could post the team for each match 24 hours in advance on here knowing it was the case and that Kazim Richards was telling people on twitter privately whats going on behind the scenes. I don't think anybody at all can confidently call transfers anymore, the only one that has proved they can is the Sky Sports guy on twitter but he's only ever a couple of hours in advance of an official announcement. Combined to this, we have an actual scouting process now which has been implemented by Mowbray. So when tiny bits are told to people, its often they're only one on the list - e.g. McNulty (which 3 independent people told me - all off here) and Adekanye (told by a journalist) probably where targets, its just we signed different players instead - Armstrong in Adekanye's case. What i'm loathed to do is create a culture of people questioning every single rumour on here again which has already seen the likes of Kamy (who has genuine contacts at Ewood) and Nicko (who once upon a time did have genuine contacts at Ewood, although I admit it did go a bit weird in the end) leave the website and leave us all just guessing. Theres a good 2/3 people still left here that post and get info - it won't always be right - but its worth taking everything is a 'decent rumour' and nothing more.

A little context only causes more chaos on here - if he says 'a reliable source' or 'someone at the club' all he will get is "WHO!"

Perhaps if he does say who has told him and it comes out, the position who has told him may be put in an awkward position?

A left forward, centre forward , central midfielder and a right forward. Tremendous.

Before we start this weeks episode, its worth noting its a 9 hour special...

A genuine journalist - not a FLW writer!

I was told this morning by a strong source we're rivalling Reading for Marc McNulty. Fee expected around 1m. We shall see.

Sounds like we're after Gwion Edwards - in the papers today.

Harsh to put Hoddle in the poor manager category.
