If people have a problem with what Totally Wicked sell fine(I don't) but This is guy who owned this business and wants to sponsor his team he supports so what is wrong with that to be honest? Just like some of match day sponsors are Rovers fans like Mark Farrimond who owns the Envelope works company who have sponsor Rovers on match days. was they any better offers on the front of the shirt sponsor this summer?

Do we not need a left side winger/midfielder this summer if Brereton is going?

Well Gregg Broughton said we got JDT who was speaking to a club that would be playing in Europe this coming season. So some people will see that as a coup Its a exciting appointment Venkys never said they was coming but said they would try to get to a game. which is different to what you are saying. Our Director of Football Gregg Broughton have said we have healthy budget for transfer wise. What that is I don't know. Wage budget will be some room on it now all loan players have gone back and players like Darragh Lenihan, Joe Rothwell, Bradley Johnson have left the club So I would say there is around 2 to 3 million pounds available there.

I'm hoping that Jack Vale will be part of the first team squad this coming season. Got high hopes for him. How many signings do you think we need this? I said 5 or 6 signings plus promoting 4 players into the first team squad from the under 23's

Just watched the Comey rule 1st 2 episodes this morning. Its was a great and interesting watch

How much is Todd Cantwell worth now with only 12 months left on his contract? 4 or 5 million to buy? Wages around 1 million(20k a year) salary per season. Maybe less now they gone down cos of relegation wage clause. If Rovers want him then hopefully we can get a deal done quickly. I would guess Gregg Broughton and Rovers recruitment team are looing to bring in a 3 or 4 signings within the next few weeks. I wonder if John Park our head of recruitment might stay on now that Gregg Broughton and Jon Dahl Tomasson are now here. In one of the twitter Video Rovers released you can see Jon Dahl Tomasson meeting John Park.

I'm hopefully that we can get 9k season ticket holders before the first match of the championship and hopefully with some good ticket price like 20 pounds for the first home under JDT we will see around 14k on

But you still lose than income on the financial balance sheet and lets forget its a Business aswell as Football club. I don't know how much the Totally Wicked deal is but its a local business who is owned by Blackburn Rovers fan and employed local people.

exactly How are the EFL and FA going to afford it?

Todd Cantwell would be quality signing IMO. He would be good fit for the left side of 3 man attack behind the main striker. I think Gregg Broughton's relationship with Todd Cantwell would be important here and if we want him then I would imagine that wages wouldn't be problem. Gregg Broughton has said we got the same wage budget as less season with healthy transfer budget. I don't know what a healthy transfer budget means but I trust Gregg Broughton to deliver the right signing. On the wage budget has probably down around 2 to 3 million this season cos Joe Rothwell, Darragh Lenihan,, Bradley Johnson and Jacob Davenport are off the wage bill permanently and loans wage cost. Gregg Broughton also said last week that he is meeting Ben Brereton and his agent this coming week. So it will be interesting what the outcome of that meeting is.

Rovers want Todd Cantwell from Norwich on loan https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/18931791/blackburn-transfer-norwich-todd-cantwell-bournemouth/

Rovers have got 2 very key appointments right IMO and I think JDT bringing in Ben Rosen as performance director is an excellent move given his background and experience in fitness and conditioning I agree that they have a few quality players in the season(Collins, Roberts, Taylor, Brownhill and Barnes) and I assume Cornet, McNeil, Pope will leave, but as I have discuss with longsiders1882 they need around 10 signings to be challenging for promotion. My point on staff around Kompany and what kind of control does he have there signing wise is a very valid point and is relate to you point around their squad

Yes they might have a transfer window but do Burnley have the right personal in place to support Kompany? Pope and Cornet will go for sure but then what their budget going to be for signings and how much time has Kompany be focusing on recruitment.

I think Kompany has a quite big rebuilding job there where I think he might have his work cut out there. I do wonder what staff he will have around him and what the club structure is around him. I'm still surprised you haven't announce his staff yet? Has Mike Jackson gone back to previous role now? they might have plenty of experience but most of them you named there are around 32/33 age bracket. Surely you don't want 2 32 years old strikers up front if Kompany plays 2 up front? In Vydra's case he is injured and no new contract agreed there yet between them

Mowbray didn't used him properly and tbh it was pointless signing cos he never played him properly. I would question him why he signed him in the first place and why doesn't target someone else he had more confidence in and would used properly

Kompany wanted Simon Davies his former assistant but he has gone to Spurs academy. Are you concern by the lack of appointments to the coaching staff by Kompany and the club? Cornet wants out. McNeil is wanted by Newcastle and Spurs. Do you honestly think That front 2 is mobile enough for the championship? I think you need younger players and suited to this league.

So does Appleton have promotion on his CV with Oxford United

These aren't friendlies but part of the ICC ODI championship

well that's your opinion whilst mine is different to yours. Appleton was trying to sort the mess that was left after Kean and Berg plus the boardroom mess. Instead Bowyer had to sort it all out Its his opinion and he has made very valid points/opinion on Duff

@longsiders1882 Has Kompany appoint any of his own coaching staff yet? Plus when do you return for pre season?

Mark Hughes has signed him for Bradford City CITY COMPLETE CHAPMAN CAPTURE | News | Bradford City (bradfordcityafc.com)

Very impressive from JDT in that video of him at Ewood Park yesterday.

My friend who is Blackpool supporter and season ticket holder is ok with this appointment. Says its better than appointing Michael Duff for example. My own view is Michael Appleton is a decent appointment there. I think they will finish around 15/16th place not sure why you bringing me into this Isn't David Sullivan loaning Bassini the money to buy the club?

Thanks for your commitment and effort Darragh over the years. I wonder if Wilder will make him captain there.
