Whilst I cannot defend the pricing policy there are literally thousands of fans aren’t there ? who won’t set foot back in Ewood until Venkys leave , so to those fans the price really is irrelevant -

I see Travis was named captain … something that has been discussed on here .. I wonder can anybody name ( I can’t by the way) the last full time captain of Rovers that wasn’t a product of our youth academy ? I have a feeling it might have been Jordan Rhodes but ???? -

That’s why we need signings … JDT and his coaching staff will be saying all the right things publicly “Great Group” Fantastic players” “bought into the project” etc etc but privately he will know that 11 there just isn’t good enough -

From someone who worked at Rovers at that time : the 17m clause was put into his contract to deter clubs from buying him , the only club the country at that time who would have paid that much was Man Utd and they had Giggs in his prime , Duff was happy to stay at Rovers but he was/is a Liverpool fan at heart , when Abramovic came with all his money suddenly Chelsea wher the team willing to pay what Liverpool and Arsenal wouldn’t , the fee was reached by Chelsea Liverpool came in with a counter off but couldn’t match Chelsea’s new clout .. Duff wanted to go Liverpool but We sold him to highest bidder -

His agent will have final say , not him or his parents … that’s modern football I’m afraid -

Good player , not sure he fits into a team with Dack though -

Think he’s a better defender now than he was then then but yes that is a worry -

I saw couple of weeks ago Alfie Mawson and Michael Hector had been released , If Ayala does go/unavailable for 25 games a season we will need some experience there 1 or both of them 2 would be ideal (wages dependant) -
I said to the boy on the final home game of the season that whilst we agreed TM had run his course Venkys have an habit of replacing one manager with one even worse … then I read the links to Farke Carvahal and think maybe not .. he we are 1st June with no manager and those 2 now apparently out of the running a list of potentials that are distinctly average to uninspiring
-
I think most would agree Farke and Carvahal were the A listers , everybody else that has been linked (realistically) is B list material , Cocu Woodgate Ainsworth do not excite me .. Manning I just don’t know enough about to give a genuine opinion .. Ferguson Unsworth Carrick are all very risky although out of the 3 I think Carrick is the one that interests me the most Critchley has done really well at Blackpool imo , he for me me would be a leading contender everyone else is either pie in the sky Nuno Benitez etc or shite
