New contract with pay rise

Why would a Rovers fan post it then? Disagree. Mowbray has been backed everytime. You do like sticking up for him over. I think Mowbray has overrule his chief scout too many times and hence why he left. Why would Phili post these things if not true?

Guess this is one of the reason why Stuart Harvey left cos Mowbray refuse to listen to him? do you have any names for each signing? Was the Pickering signing Mowbray decision or a decision made by the club following the recommendation of Harvey and recruitment department? thanks in advance

I've not saying you have said recklessly spending but Mowbray lack of planning and proper organise transfer plan for each season has cost us. And it appears that him and Waggott screwed up this season budget. I think Mowbray was surprised he is still in a job but is this down to the club not able to bring in the right replacement. Didn't someone post that we spoke to Wilder, Neil and Nathan Jones this summer about replacing Mowbray. Can't remember who said it btw I hope we do sign a permanent replacement for Armstrong. I think Dale would be decent for a million or even Morris from Barnsley for a couple of million pounds I hope we have a new footballing structure at the club by next summer and new man in the dugout. Healthy kitty? Only after a similar budget to what Mowbray had in a season. Thats all. Invest it wisely and sensible. Surely Mowbray knew Armstrong would be gone this summer if we werent promote so why not look at buying a replacement for him last January. Whether he would got the finances to do so I don't know but surely some long term planning should have happen at club. Maybe having a Director of football with Head coach structure would served us much better.

well Pasha was sat next to Waggott on Saturday at the game if my eyes are correct. Why doesn't Pasha recommend the removal of Waggott, Cheston and Mowbray from the club? Thats my point to RF99 that the Armstrong's sale hasn't bought enough money into the club for sign 4 or 5 permanent signings

Went into the club shop this morning and they were few people inside. think the new setup inside is well set up and plenty of space. Shame about the lack of adults home, away and 3rd shirts on sale but I believe its supply issue with Macron.

do we know how many season tickets we have sold?

Waggott and Cheston should have been removed this summer. We need fresh blood and people inside the boardroom who know the rules and can work the rules to our advantage

But the Armstrong fee has come into the club and 40% of gone to Newcastle so thats around 6 million pounds gone. But as Phili's comments has pointed out Waggott, Mowbray and Venus come up with the plan each season and Venkys/Pasha sign it off. So surely its Waggott and Mowbray fault not the owners? But if we overspend this summer it will affect next season budget and we could be break FFP rules next season. So it could be 12 months of careful planning this season of not over spending following by higher transfer spending next season hopefully under a new manager/footballing structure. Yes I agree with you I would like us to buy 3 or 4 players this summer but not if its effects us next season FFP wise and Embargo wise. I didn't see that comment until after I replied to previous post of yours. We knew if we wasn't going up that Armstrong would move on so surely last January we had players in mind who we could sign as replacements but he choose not to buy a replacement before we sold Armstrong this summer. that would have given the new striker 6 months head start. Maybe even a foreign striker and allow 6 months to settle into the area and club but Mowbray refuse/didn't.

was this comment made before the Dack injury at the Wigan home game in December 2019 More stupid spending rules instead of allowing club owners to invested whatever they want instead of these rules that will favour the big supporters teams and Relegated PL teams again. But thats what the EFL want? Surely last January Mowbray and the club knew that Armstrong would be sold this summer and most of the out of contract players would be released which was the right decision. So why didn't he sign a permanent replacement for Armstrong last January? or why haven't we sign one since AA left us? It will be interesting to see who we sign.

Well we have to see over the coming seasons but a club of Rovers size cannot keep running at wage to turnover it has over the past seasons can it? So we need a proper short term, medium and long term plan from the footballing people at the club I hope we can invest a few million pounds into a permanent striker signing myself but we have to meet these daft FFP rules(which I never been in favour from moment one as they favour bigger clubs with bigger budgets.) Can't blame Venkys for the FFP rules. Surely we have to work in whatever market we have? We need 4 or 5 signings before the deadline including a permanent striker, wide man, left back and centre back. These players like Poveda and Clarkson clearly have their ability and talent otherwise they wouldn't be Leeds United and Liverpool would they? Who are these quality freebies out there? Can you give me an example of a striker who has the quality we want? Would you want Connor Wickham here? Surely there is a reason why they are still unattached at this stage of the season? More experience PL players who are available are on big wages. What is Ben Davies wages or Matt Clarke wages? spending more money on these expensive wages would mean less signings? Also can you expect why it unnecessarily strict budget considering the last 3 years financial backing Mowbray has received in terms of transfers fees and wages? Maybe if Mowbray has been better in the transfer market and use the money more wisely in the first 2 seasons and maybe we wouldn't be in this situation.

After the 3 game unbeaten and after beating Forest Rovers/Waggott should have dropped the price of the WBA game to 15 pounds for Rovers fans and refund any fan who paid the 32 pounds price before the game

where would a singing area go? and haven't we already sort of got this in Blackburn End top NO1 area? I sit in NO2 area of Blackburn End and for me there is plenty of cheering, encouraging, singing from Blackburn End to the players and some what to Mowbray. So close the Darwen End then?

This is the way we should be playing with our young squad. Pressing from the front and counter attacking the opposition with pace and skills.

WBA big monsters players will suit this league and over power teams but will it work in the PL? Doubtful Depends how bad the injury is too Kharda. If the all the Armstrong money has had to go on meeting the FFP rules then just been open and honest to the fans and explained this is the case. But Mowbray and Waggott won't. why is the under 24 rule counter productive? I like that we have a young squad with a few experience players like Kaminski, Lenihan, Ayala, Travis. i do feel its the right way for us to go with the current situation we have But we need to add 4 or 5 quality signings before the deadline.

Thanks for sharing AAK. Look a good tricky player and has talent. Well there is a number of strikers we could get permanent for the right fee who fit into the under 23 age bracket. Mowbray stop with the bloody excuses and get on with signing one. You should have had this sorted by now and within days of AA sale. But we need a striker in.. He would fit this supposedly recruitment of not signing players over the aged 24 now. But if this is the supposedly transfer policy now why have been linked with Healey through the Rich Sharpe of the LT? Lets see what the next 8 days bring now I don;t see us signing 2 wingers on loan this window, so its one of the winger but not.

Lets hope we are on the way with a permanent striker signing whoever that is whether its a foreign striker or a striker from Championship or League 1 club but someone who can score goals and bring us the quality we need to our attacking play

Thanks @JoeHfor sharing that. Very insightful

Thanks for the insight into Jephcott guys. Very much apprenticed @4000Holes @briansol @RoverRB

Yes thats a fair point. Guess we see who this new signing tomorrow and where he plays if he signs

Has anyone seen much of Luke Jephcott of Plymouth? started the season very well and we need a goalscorer to replace AA. Would he been an option for us? 4 goals in 5 games this season.

Surely how much he will play is a main factor. Would he start ahead of Norwood, Berge and Fleck?

Well James Garner has signed for them today but Hughton has been saying for weeks he needs signings in. If they did sack him I am sure their new CEO(Former Barnsley CEO) would have different options open to them.

Test Cricket will always be the most popular format of cricket in the UK for years to come. Don't watch any of the hundred at all. So can't comment on it. But the ECB need to get the scheduling of all the competitions correct and that include some 4 day county championship matches before and during test series. With the next test match at Headingly starting on Wednesday, it will be interesting what the team is from the squad picked. My team would be:- Burns, Hameed, Pope, Root, Bairstow, Buttler, Ali, Curran, Robinson, Anderson, Wood or Mahmood. Well Livingstone has a decision to make on his future and whether he will ever be given a chance at Test Cricket but if not then I see Livingstone playing 20/20 cricket around the world and earning as much as possible for himself in his career
