it’s a week since I shared here the story about Bowler I didn’t know just how true it was but the message board needed some good news so I shared it anyway and then another poster confirmed it . When I asked the person who told me , a few days ago If there had been any progress , his answer was not good and the atmosphere on this board at that time was pretty downbeat and I didn’t really want to add to that .. since then the bids for Smodizcs have been made public and there is a very strong link to Styles which is making me think Bowler is NOT coming Rovers .. Elliot Jackson’s report is either old OR something has happened Very recently -

A few years ago I did one of those walks with Jeff Stelling for prostate cancer , I did the walk from Blackburn to Blackpool got friendly with a couple of Blackpool Fans and one was a member of the Tangerine Knights .. anyway he just text me saying Blackpool have received a £3m offer for Josh Bowler from a championship club reckons it’s us he’s never shared any info like this before so don’t know how accurate it is but if it’s true he must be one from John Parks list , can’t imagine JDT would know so much about him -

AJW replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
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 -

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)
