Then as CEO your job - alongside the other senior team - is to explain why rejecting the bids is the wrong decision and they must be accepted.

Please can you take Ian up on writing match views!

Which is great, but doesn’t change the fact that 20M worth of talent has left for free previously. How long does it take Rovers to generate 20M? That’s on Waggott who was in charge.

As always, I don’t want to be “ITK” (only @unleaded gets that title here imo), I’m just passing bits on that I get through WhatsApp / Twitter / BRFCS which I only get because I own BRFCS, not because I’m important I once tried the whole ‘ITK’ thing and it’s bloody hard work trying to link all the tips together to get a credible rumour that you’re confident in. Attempting it has also lost this website some brilliant posters over the years because if you get one wrong, you’re jumped on. So my policy is just to share everything, unless I’m told not to, and not credit anyone so not to ruin their rep. Essentially I’m only passing bits on I’ve been told and they’re probably not right. So it’s not banter, that’s what someone has told me. Garrett is good mates with Travis, they car share every day. Maybe he’s (naively) kicked off because his mate has been sent away? Who knows. Consider it a rumour.

It’s all gossip - that’s why we’re here.

This is true - and it sounds like Garrett could be off on loan too, which surprises me more.

Not a bad suggestion - if we can rota it between us we shouldn’t have to go more than once a month.

How many of these fans meeting is the CEO club having? It feels like he’s got an open diary for informal chats at Ewood! Question Number 1: Steve, you’ve clearly plenty of time for meeting fans but you want me to believe you have no idea the Blues Bar is being used for a Liverpool Legends night?

Far too many players at a significantly higher quality than Cambridge. Every one of ours gets into their first 11. The only way we don’t win is it a vast majority of the players have a real off day.

100%, we won’t lose this, with all due respect we’re much better than them.

I think Leo’s struggling as much as the next person, but they go in more times than they’re saved.

How often do you read this message board out of interest?

Wonder if thats us done before tomorrows game or not.

Brighton player coming in, don't know who.

Trav wants the move because he’s fallen out with the manager over both game time and position. JDT prefers Garrett and Buckley in CM.

It’s all bundled up and paid monthly - so we will have been paying Bournemouth X per month (loan fee + wage contribution) and that stops from Jan 1st, releasing X as money spare in the budget which is covered by the fee agreed with the Indian Government.

We will have paid some sort of loan fee as well as wages.

If he's got an Ipswich move then i'll be impressed. I've just asked his family member and he said "not heard notin mate".

There's another update at 6pm tonight saying you can now buy tickets on the day.

James Hill going back has freed up enough money for us to sign ORoirdon?

There seems to be a lot of confusion over this so its worthwhile us all being clear. The £11.5M being requested will be approved, because a precedent has been set now by the Indian Government, but this money will only cover paying the existing bills from 1st December onwards. These funds do not have a pound in them for transfers and Venkys cannot send us more money for transfers whilst under the restrictions. There is no clear end date for when the restrictions will end, this could still be the case this time next year.

Its a decent idea, so I won't criticise it too much, but by Christ does that area need some money spent on it. Rusted metal, weather stained brickwork, faded and flaking paint, rubbish all over the floor - its not exactly a tribute to our history. I think they'd have been wiser to put them in the BBE concourse personally, but its done now.

You're not going mad. If anyone can skim read this once and clearly understand the ticketing process throughout January i'll be astounded.

Which would be a PR nightmare. To u-turn so close to the game would be a real sign of a lack of understanding. They’re so deep in now, it’s best to continue.
