Thanks I meant to go and watch but personal reasons meant I couldn't today

well they knew the rules and if they broken the rules then they should be paid the consequences. Maybe you now realised why Rovers didnt overspend in this past window and break FFP rules.

Where did Clarkson play? Who is the Accy Stanley under 23's coach?

Where Venkys in talks to even buy the club at that time. Not so sure of that but Kean might not had even been at the club if the new manager had sack him. Doesn't stop the fact that summer Allardyce wanted to quit the club for a Middle East Club. Simple as Forest never made a move for Wilder from what I understand. Cooper was their 1st choice and he fits in with the New CEO Dane Murphy statistical approach, younger players approach and bringing through Young players. Wilder held talks with WBA sporting director Luke Dowling but then their owner/CEO stop it and sacked Downing and appointed Ismael from Barnsley instead

Their owners borrowed money against the club and the PL TV money. What happens when they go down? Own debt is owed by Venkys

He wanted out months before they took over. Don't forget that fact. Wanted to move to a club in Middle East. Wonder why?

Lewandowski was lined up but Dortmund wanted him too. Also how did Venkys intervened when they didn't buy the club for 6 months late? Also how was Allardyce preparing us to kick on from Survival merchants when that summer he wanted to quit for a club in the Middle East(source is his own Autobiography) He wanted John Williams to let him go that summer. I wish we had to be honest.

Seems like everything change when Butterworth missed the penalty.

I think he quit next summer anyway and take some time out. I don't see another PL club wanting him so which clubs would be interested in here? Maybe replace Warnock at Boro?

Sharpe and Crooke have tweeted this

That's to the companies they owed money to. Then the money they owed to HRMC and tax office. Venkys owed our debt

Rothwell and Travis won tackles and controlled the midfielder and Buckley stopped Grimes from playing. I like him deeper allows his more space and he doesn't have to take them on every time. His defensive position against Barnsley was excellent and protect our back 4 with Travis. Having the same 2 I front of the back 4 and keeper maybe why we look better as a team defensively and team shape aswell

I am Surprised Dyche signed a new contract this season but guess he knows he won't get a better job or club. Thought Palace might have come in for him but didn't. Will be interesting season this them cos I think they one of 3 poorest teams in the league this season

Cos it's been said by himself in interviews and Mowbray. Playing deeper allow his more space to dictate games like he did against Swansea. So where would you play him then?

Very interesting article inside the Derby County financial mess and their debts plus can the club survive https://theathletic.com/2837909/2021/09/21/derbys-admin-bomb-what-now-for-players-rooney-and-the-club-can-it-survive?source=user-shared-article From the article

Rothwell wants to play centre midfielder so he has to do the defensive side of the game. Agree?

Depends whether they set up 3-5-2 or 3-4-3? I think 4-3-3 is the right way to go with Pace down the wings getting between their centre backs and wing backs. Tho I wouldn't be surprised if we play a similar formation to the Barnsley game.

I lived in Hyndburn all my life and I remember when I was Primary School we had Blackburn Rovers come into the school over summer half term to do a 4 day training skills course where we learn football skills, received coaching and play matches. Do Rovers still do that outside of BwD area? We also attended the Blackburn Rovers indoor centre to play for few matches pre match. We also attended a few night matches with school. is the Indoor centre behind the Darwen end still in used? I guess it does help when you have a deputy head teacher at that time who was passionate Rovers fan and was ST holder and knew people at the club. Whether thats the case now I don't know. Rovers should be engaging with schools, youth clubs and children charities in promoting the club and getting them interested in football throughtout the BwD, Rossendale, Great Harwood, Clayton Le-Moors, Ribble Valley, Chorley areas by a number of schemes like football coaching days, meeting players, free shirts and cheaper tickets. I have said time after time that Children under 12 should be a pound a ticket and 20 pounds a season ticket. You have to get them hooked early in life. Thats how my dad did with me. I remember my 1st game and many games since them. Its excellent news and shows that the support is there for the club. Waggott and co need to make coming to Ewood Park more attractive by better prices and they need to engage better with fans who haven't bought a ticket this season Well Rovers have asked for more tickets so we see the response from Blackpool.

Blackpool away tickets all sold out. Looks like season ticket holders bought them all

6 goals from 8 games. Brereton has 4 goals and Gallagher has 2 goals. Dolan has proved his worth since signing here and I would playing him regularly. He is a player with a big future for us going forward. Where would you like us improve apart from main striker signing? In the front 3/4 positions

Two months Ago? Deadline only ended 19 days ago

Bet they ain't many left now
