I’m getting “Hull City away kit” with the grey one...

...if the away kit’s not grey & yellow you’re coming on the pod to explain yourself BTW...?

Bit of a Kappa...Damien Duff vibe about this one...

Rich has also been very helpful to us regarding appearing on the podcasts & so on...

I read this topic with interest...but can’t help thinking that there are many Rovers fans who supported Rovers Trust’s action to ensure Ewood was designated an Asset of Community Value to prevent a sale of the ground... Equally had Venkys “done a Derby” I suspect many would have been suspicious of their motives. My take is that Derby is owned by a fan, Rovers aren’t so we view all those transactions through that lens

It’s an opinion on a theoretical topic...but I think Mowbray would probably select Tugay...but as he’s pushing 50 perhaps only as sub...

Sheff Weds under embargo last season Derby’s sale & leaseback is being challenged by Middlesbrough. What if they lose on Monday ? Burnley went up under “he who shall not be named” with no parachute payments

I think this is the crux. FFP whether we like it or not means a transfer embargo if you are in breach. We’ve been there, it didn’t do us any favours. There is a school of thought that says “put the house on red” & hope that it doesn’t come up black...but that is selling the family silver...like a sale & leaseback on your ground, it’s not sustainable. I’m not going to castigate the owners (whoever they are) for not gambling with the future of the club. Let’s also acknowledge that 3 clubs come down each year with massive parachute payments that last for 3 years & we have to compete with those clubs, plus in the Championship we are also up against a number of rivals with larger fan bases than ours which works in their favour regarding FFP calculations. The model for a sustainable punt on promotion is Burnley, Norwich, Sheff Utd...so you’re right, we need a manager, working in a system that identifies, develops (& possibly sells on) a conveyor belt of young talent mixed with shrewd “Moneyball” type signings. I think our academy is now starting to show the fruits of recent labours so we need to augment it with some signings a la Pukki (& Dack) etc to have a shot & all working for a manager with a clear plan as to how to extract the maximum value from such a squad. Dyche did it. Wilder did it. Farke did it. Step up to the plate Mr M !!!

I’m pretty sure that they are aware of the income opportunities available to Premier League clubs 47er...their challenge is squaring the circle of FFP isn’t it ?

There were a number of “interactions” on Twitter with Miguel...all very civilised TBF & he has recognised the poor wording and amended accordingly.

I like him on the Indy football podcast....very good during last year’s WC...

From this morning’s independent https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/football-league/premier-league-epl-efl-league-one-two-championship-miguel-delaney-a8926126.html?amp&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter&__twitter_impression=true Rovers have “struggled to pay wages”

I like these....confirms with stats what the gut tells you when watching our lot...

He has...look one post up...

Extraordinarily....I know...there is a 3rd place play off....so England nailed on to be in that I suspect ?

...at least now we know why Rovers have unfollowed all of BRFCS on Twitter...?

#KitTeaser ?

A pattern like the Stadion one ? ?

PSV are using Stadion...

What about these....? ? The 50/50 one is obviously the boy but the Stadion one I’ve seen on a few foreign kits for next season...

It’s all about marketing. By using a fundamentally different colour palette it means that the club can offer a lot of other products in the new palette & hopefully increase sales. The argument runs that if you have the same colour scheme every season sales drop off, hence also mucking about with the shades of blue & position of the halves etc. The jade green a few years ago was another example. Personally alternating with yellow/blue & red/black would be my preference & always royal blue for the home kit ?‍♂️
