we can't force Dack to sign a new contract, we have been in talks with Dack for a nearly a year now.

Cant believe no one has mention this today. Player of the month award

PL clubs could be desperate come January and staying in PL will be vital this season with this pandemic around But that's was 5 years ago. Not under our current manager

I think he will go in January to be honest if there is PL interest.

He doesnt have to sign the extension..its a club option. I dont think Nyambe is anywhere near a key player for us

On Dack, they were rumours he was leaving last January to WBA. if Dack wont sign a new contract then you sell him

Dack has a club option of 12 months extension plus we have been talking to him about a new contract for months. So has 2 years really. JRC will get a new contract shortly I would imagine. Only broke through the last 8 months into first team I would be offering new contracts to Armstrong, Rothwell and Holtby also.

Is that the only one in the last 4 years at the club? Exactly

Experience of what? IMO, Mowbray has been good over contracts overall to be honest. Proper people person and good man management skills.

I mention him last week as possible loan option. Not playing at Leicester currently

why do you think that? something you heard or know or just an opinion?

Birmingham, Derby, Bristol City, QPR have all sold players. Birmingham sold Bellingham for over 20 mil, Derby sold Boyle and Lowe to Sheffield United for 15 million, Bristol City have balance the transfers spending with sales this summer. last season make 14 million pounds profit(Spent 30 mil, received 44 million), QPR have sold Eze for over 20 million pounds this summer and spent around 10 million so thats a 10 million profit. Swansea made 35 million pounds profit last summer plus cuts in wages and balance the transfer in and out fees this summer. Rovers will be ok. Just on the line. Thats why we haven't over spent at all.

We wasted vast amount of money on players that got us nowhere near top 6 but almost relegate. Why would want a centre midfielder over left back now is just crazy talk..

Here were I did analysis which show we could have 4 to 5 budget. You been very selective in your quote. Tho I not surprise at all with yourself. Anyway Ewood, I'm not arguing with you anymore about this. You are just arguing.for the sake trying to point you were right.

Most clubs wont cos they either sold players like Norwich, Bournemouth, Forest have or work on limited resources like Luton or Barnsley.

But we chasing top 6 not looking to be decent Championship side. We bought Dack when we were relegated.

But I said could have NOT had. Clearly you misunderstood my points or just ignored. Listen to you? No thanks Ewood

No I havent said anything like that. You just arguing for the sake of it Ewood. I did an analysis on how WE COULD HAVE 4 to 5 million pounds football budget back in July/August. Even if we could afford Whiteman why would any club chasing top 6 spend 2 million on mid table league 1 midfielder. I dont think we even got 500k left on footballing budget in my opinion

Back to this again. I did an analysis on how we could have a 4 to 5 million pounds football budget including wages. Something you seems to have trouble understanding.. Why would anyone spend 2 million on mid table league 1 midfielder when you can get better for cheaper like Manning.

But we arent doing so tho aren't we? Why do we want a league 1 midfielder who spent his career in the middle of league one?

1. We dont need a centre midfielder singing as I think we have more than in midfield. 2. Not value for money. 2 million for league 1 midfielder. Far too expensive for league 1 standard midfielder 3. He isn't the midfielder type we need even if we need a midfielder. He nothing like Travis. Someone like Josh Cullen was who cost 800k. Who played at this level. 4. MOST importantly we need a left back signing before anything else. .

The fee involved we cant afford for one. I don't see centre midfielder as a priority were we need a signing. The priority should be left back signing

I've seen him played thanks. I wouldnt be buying him. Not worth the money at all. Leave him there

Mowbray might well have wanting the structure for a couple of years but we needed the owners/club to fund the proper structure, software, staff, space at Brockhall, money for scouting trips. The last 12 months has seen vast improvements in this. I would say very little Championship clubs have the recruitment, scouting and data analysis department staff levels we have. Brentford and Barnsley do, maybe Birmingham. But not many others IMO. Do teams like Forest use a scouting structure or agents to bring players in? That's what happen when managers dismantled the good scouting and recruitment departments.
