if Rovers want Charlton Keeper Philips then hopefully we are putting a bid in now thats Charlton off the field problems continue to carry with 3 people have failed the EFL ownership test and They have failed to sign 2 players today cos the EFL would not sanctioned those transfers cos they are in a registration embargo Philips has only a year left on his current contract so shouldn't cost more than 1 million pounds https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/blackburn-rovers-charlton-efl-phillips-18735581

Rovers back for the start of pre season training on 17th August.

That's was over 2 weeks ago. Alot would have gone on since then. Cant go.off a manager in a post match interview Mowbray said he hadn't had full clarity on his budget after the Luton game.

How do you know we are dithering this summer? Forget past transfer windows.

But then thats come back to recruitment and we might have different transfer targets to someone like Stoke. We might have bids in for the players we want right now. We just don't know

Depends who we are looking at the position for. I would look at getting Barry Douglas from Leeds. Quality player. Yes some free agents market is start to go elsewhere but would you say in your opinion we miss out on someone you would have like here?

He is only 23 years old. So you aren't asking him to commit to his best years are you?

is he any improvement on Bell?

Of course it is Armstrong interest to stay here and play under Mowbray were his talent have been develop and becoming the player he should.

You are correct

why wouldn't he sign that? Plays his best football under Mowbray, Key player to the team and I would be make him our top earner at the club

so you would sell Armstrong for 10 million? I would be giving him a new 4 year contract with no release clause in the contract

Can you say this is the case please? I want him to stay of course. Very good player at this level

Gibson panicked about Woodgate taking the club down. He wanted him appointed and get what he asked for. When Pulis announced he wants going, it was clear that Woodgate would get the job so why did Gibson wait so long to appoint him. strange. Birmangham have had most managers and will be surprise if Karanka is still employed by end of the 20/21 season with Birmingham City record with manager. Was Karanka even 1st choice. They have had Rowett, Zola, Redknapp, Cotterill, Monk, Clotet. You are totally corrected by they are run by loons. Club owners won't like be told that Hughton price and terms are this. if thats his attitude do you really think they are going to appoint him? Do you see Watford appoint Hughton as manager?

You seen Parker work at Fulham even he was on the coaching staff under previous manager there. He had his own ideas how he wanted his teams to play which was different to previous manager. and he achieve promotion there. Bournemouth need a massive turnover in players. Some haven't perform last season. Hughton is in 60 years old and he got the Newcastle head coach job on the back of Kinnear health problems and Ashley not wanting Shearer to stay on. So he was once a rookie manager so it can work for some clubs. I can understand why some clubs are going for head coach route with them focusing on training and coaching the team whilst recruitment is left to others to scout players and do the leg work as such. I do wonder if Hughton wants too much control of non-coaching matters or too much money wages wise. Some managers would complete control and some people are working together with sporting director/director of football.

Its a fair point about Stagnant about Bournemouth but if they feel that Tindall is the man plus if finances are being tighter this summer with clubs who have made internal appointment after a change of manager which has been seen at League 1 and 2 clubs. I'm sure Tindall has his own ideas and if the squad is change enough it come work. you do bring up Hughton name every time but why aren't clubs not appointing him I wonder?

Why?

Looking like Bournemouth will appoint Jason Tindall as their next manager replacing Eddie Howe from media reports like the one below

And up to the lockdown we were on course to improve the defence massively compare to the previous season. Thats an opinion not fact. In My Opinion, which my point is about I think with a fully fit Dack we would have finish higher and possible in top 6. (Thats my opinion)

I am discussing the 19/20 season which my argument is about.

It will be very interesting to see how well Brentford do replace them. They been linked with Ivan Toney which seems a very different type of striker to Watkins.

Yes there is some good players out there whether out of contract, possible cheap fee or possible loan deals. No I haven't at all. Well without Dack in the team for half a season we improved our goal record. Plus Graham not part of starting lineup much. Armstrong step up to the mark and produce the goods. Imagine if Dack was available we might produce better results and get that top 6. Our goal conceded was better than last pre Covid lockdown but after the lockdown Walton was pathetic. If you look at the stats used by Rovers Chat YouTube videos back this up.
