In fairness Jack did see us as a project. It was his pet project. The stars aligned. He made very good money, He had a vision for Rovers and from the ground to the training facilities, to the manager, he went for the best. It took time, and project management, but his burning ambition and passion for the club made all the difference. Yin and Yang. -

I think the interim title should be “Transfers - Ask Geoff” -

Extraordinary story. Taking the bad boy of football to a to a completely lower level. Although with current stories knocking around maybe not. -

“And now for something completely different 🦶” Great quote from Travis on team briefings with JDT “I think it helps, in meetings previously you could maybe doze off if you were a little tired. You never know if he will ask you a question so everyone is focusing and that's good." -
If you are good enough, you are old enough.

That had me scurrying for my wikipedia. What a great hypothesis. I once knew a guy in customer service called Joe Terrible. True that. -

Looks like Sheffield United will be in the same lake as us fishing for a centre back. https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-sheffield-united-star-jack-robinson-faces-three-months-out-in-crushing-blow/ -

Methinks they all know he is in final year and waiting until the end of the Summer window to pounce for a knockdown price. Just a question of who. -

Trouble is everything is starting early because of The World Cup. Those managers in place at the end of the season had an advantage. More games will be played this season before the window closes and managers will see who they need and don’t need. That’s when things will get hairy. Boro and Sheff Utd have “gone ugly early” and will on this occasion reap the benefits. We seem to have a lot of layers. Head of recruitment, DOF, Waggott, JDT, and the Venkys layers. I hope they have their job descriptions worked out before the window closes. -

https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/transfer-news/peterborough-blackburn-rovers-transfer-pursuit-24596715 Wouldn’t want to share my innermost secrets with Barry Fry. He’s got a bigger mouth than the Thames Estuary. Doesn’t want to lose his best players but shopping them like Black Friday. -

Agree. Makeshift defence. Carter acquitted himself well. Vale looked nippy. Gallagher had a solid all-round game. Hope JDT can teach him how to finish some of his excellent runs. Ben woke up later and got more involved I think JDT wanted to a result which is why he didn’t switch things around earlier. Difficult to judge the subs We take the positives and move on 😉
