And the squad was 2nd after the January transfer window and Mowbray messed it up just like he did at Boro and Coventry by finishing 8th. They were several people who said this would happen here and they were right and I was wrong which I will admit to. Ask the players now what they of Mowbray and his training ground attitude now he has gone and what it is like now under Jon Dahl Tomasson. Would it be overachieving for us to get into the Playoffs under JDT this season or next season? I don't think we over achieved last season. do you think we did?

Its shows the uncertain in football deals and nothing is certain until its done. You would certain from Alan Nixon which isn't available in football. I have show or named you several different situations, articles and documentaries that show this. You seem unwanting to accept it.

You can stand by point if you want but no Football journalists and reporters will ever been dead certain of a transfer happening until it mostly done or the player is heading for medical. That the way football is. Just watch the Sunderland FC documentary to know this or just watch this deadline day special with Chris Wilder Deadline day is even crazier than you think. We went behind the scenes with S... - Bing video

what a great British Grand Prix today and race of the year. loads of incidents and over taking today. Lewis Hamilton was at his best today. Sadly got a podium but much better from him and the team

There is zero certain in the football world and no transfer is done until the contract. No Journalist or Media reporter will commit until it is virtual a done deal. There is plenty of evidence of that from what certain football documentaries out there or stories of players doing a medical and close to personal terms only to see them walk out on that club to go to another club. Like what Joe Bryan did to Aston Villa before joining Fulham, or players failed medical like what happened to us like summer when we had Josh Maja here and ready to sign. What do you want any journalist to say?

Hamilton could win this British Grand Prix. Come on Lewis! 🏁

You can't commit to anything in the transfer market cos anything can happens. Players, clubs and agents can all change their minds, players failed medical, New clubs can come in late, etc. The transfer market is unpredictable as anything in life Roversfan99. @bluebrucespot on with your last post

here is Alan Nixon on the Sun Football website New Blackburn boss Jon Dahl Tomasson ready to splash £3m on Malmo centre-half Anel Ahmedhodzic from promotion bid | The Sun

good points made there

Well the same thing happened to Gary Bowyer. Mowbray had more than backing from our owners including last season. Yes, cos results didn't match the investment and the quality of the squad especially in season 20/21 when we had massive first team squad including players like Adam Armstrong and Harvey Elliott. He should have got us promotion that season not a lower mid table finish. Last season he still signed some good loans players and still have quality in the squad but Mowbray somehow managed to balls up a chance of promotion by his stubbornness and unwillingness to adapt formations and style of play. We were second after the January transfer window closed and we miss out on playoffs. Unacceptable and I'm pleased his contract wasn't renewed here cos his time was up. The owners have always backed most managers will money at the start of the spell. They back them if they are successful. I'm sure that GB and JDT have a proper plan as we seen mention this being a project and how they will do it. I'm looking forward to it Not really. They took some of our good promising players like Jake Batty, Sam Barnes, Jordan Eastham, Jack Vale, Ash Phillips, Jake Garrett and Harry Leonard. All very talented and players I think will be first team squad either this season or next season.

Yes I have seen him play thanks Butty but JDT and Rovers took him to Portugal and maybe he has improved since his loan spell. I would have Ash Phillips be part of our first team squad this season as I have said previously

Why would it be a joke? No it isn't time to be seriously worry at all but actually believe that JDT and the staff here actually know what they are doing and know he can been capable of performing at this stage. You mention when it no relevance to the points I was making,

Yes we did see the wage bill cut but that also came with younger squad meaning less money. I also think the owners had no faith Mowbray producing promotion and they weren't willing to back him enough with money. Meaning Mowbray was left with a budget he got. I think the owners will see JDT and the reaction from the fans towards him and Gregg Broughton appointments has a massive positive and they will back them sensible. I would be very happy with the signing Anel Ahmedhodzic and I think the owners would back JDT and GB with money for this type of signing. I seen us signing a couple of players for fees and maybe a couple of loans whilst bringing in a few young players from the under 23's into the first team squad for this season

well that's your opinion whilst I would like to see where Tyler Maglorie and Ash Phillips are before we sign more than one. I'm explained several times where the Adam Armstrong went. So I not going to keep going over it. At present Ben Brereton hasn't left and we don't know what will happen if the future.

I think Kevin Pietersen made some very good points on Stokes's batting being reckless during the lunch break with Sky Sports. Mark Butcher also made an analysis on what balls Bairstow defends and attacking. good watch that

would you want 2 centre back replacements in for Lenihan and Van Hecke or would you use Hayden Carter as one of the replacements for one of them. I think we should be more able to use Ayala's wages better for players who are going to be fit enough to make more of an impact than he has done here. What would be your opinion if we spent 3 million pounds on Anel Ahmedhodzic?

I think Raphinha would have been a good signing for Chelsea but Barca want him. Would have suited the right side attacking role. On Cornet, guess he would be squad player there but Chelsea seems to want to revamp their squad and Thomas Tuchel is more under the new ownership there plus Todd Bohely being massive involved aswell

I am trying to discuss football programme without attacking people point of view Matty. Of Course I am going post my opinion on it and my past experience of buying and collecting football programmes. I used to buy one every home game but wouldn't nowadays due to my habits pre match has change what I want to do. how many is plenty still did? what numbers are we talking? what the cost involve in producing one? is the demand still there? or given that people habits have move on from reading and buying match programme do the club move with the times of the modern technology era?

Looks like Chelsea are interested in Cornet now its looks like Barcelona have hijack the Ralphina deal from Leeds now.

I was simple asking a couple of questions so its time you stop with the attacks Matty. I used to collect them when I was younger days and I would have read the programme before the game kick off. Would I buy one now? no I wouldn't now cos I just talk to people and discuss different things. Plus I want watch the lunch time kick off game

Well He reported that the owners are willing to back JDT in the signing of Anel Ahmedhodzic. We didn't know this. I don't know why you expect lot of transfer news when JDT and GB had said they wanted to assess the squad in Portugal and see what options where already at the club. I expect a couple of transfer moves in the couple of weeks but given that we are only looking at 6 signings its important we get the right ones. I would just let him go for free just to get his wages off the wage bill

Stokes was trying to take the game to them which given the conditions I would say is the correct approach. Bairstow is in the form of his life currently

would they be much of demand nowadays of people attending for match day programme? what is the cost involve for producing one?
