I don't have his patreon but one of my Facebook friends has put on that Nixon saying Venkys are willing to back JDT to bring the Bosnian here and Tomosson knowing the player makes us hopeful he will choose us ahead of Sheffield United -
Shouldn't Damo be going to the meeting seeing as you sent the email on his behalf?

And you have gotten info before that turned out to be wrong. It would have taken breaking our wage ceiling to bring in Wallace.He was being linked with Besiktas, and has now joined West Brom who will pay much more money than we do. Iv no inside info but I don't need it to know Wallace wasn't coming here on the money we pay. -

Still would have required the player to agree to come here. Whatever about Dembele absolutely no chance Wallace was signing here -

Wallace wasn't coming here Paul.And Dembele wanted Bournemouth from day one didn't even discuss a deal here according to the Peterborough owner -

Do you really believe Jed Wallace was close to signing here? -

He has gone Portugal -
We haven't signed anyone and have lost Nyambe, Lenihen, Rothwell ,Van Hecke and Khadra who all played their part in getting us to second place. We are playing catch-up and if Broughton has gone to Portugal it would be sensible to believe that we ain't about to pull the trigger on bringing anyone in, he will have obviously have gone over to assess what we have at the club. Burnley are being linked with some decent players and Twine if he can make the step up which I think he can is a good start by them. Other rivals are picking up some handy players whilst we have had one half link with a defender from our new managers old club They ain't waiting around to get the players they want in The players we lost from last summer's squad majority of them weren't a miss and went to clubs below us.Armstrong and Elliott aside the rest contributed little. If Brererton goes we will have lost 6 or 7 from arguably our best 11.We need some ready made first team players in.5 subs next season the youngsters will get an opportunity but shouldn't be expecting too much Some money needs to be spent this summer to bring a bit of quality in to the first 11 Id rather that then stretching the budget to 9 hope akpans

Championship - 22-23

It won't be anything I'd presume as usually those clauses work off profit -
The proof will be in the pudding next season let's see if the pitch holds. If the club were carrying out the work or have carried out the work that Waggott promised then the club would let it be known. The plan was to have a concert only a few weeks ago and I fail to believe in the timeframe the work which Waggott promised has been done. More money might have been spent and more may have been done but not to the extent what was promised 2 year ago

Yeah but if Mowbray had been appointed at West Brom then chances are Venus would have been following him there. I'm sorry but very hard to believe any of this that isn't a criticism of you sharing it but i just don't think that's the way things went down -
Transfer Window - COMPLETE. Where’s Gregg?
islander200 replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
RN not so long ago he wasn't signing because Venus had advised him he could join himself and Mowbray at West Brom on much better deals. That is what you were telling us not long ago, now I know you will reply that it was Rothwells dad said it but even if the case it turned out to be well wrong and are now saying it's the complete opposite that Nyambe's reluctance to initially sign a new deal here was due to bullying from Venus? -

There should be a deadline not letting it go till the end of their contracts in the hope they will sign. I'm not criticising the club for not giving the players what they wanted but last summer these players should have been given a take it or leave it offer, and if they decided to leave it then they should have been offered around so we could get something for them rather than zero -

Waggott? Believe it if you want put I'd put my house on Wallace not being anywhere close to signing here. -

Wallace was in talks with Besiktas in January.Sorry Paul but no way I believe Wallace had agreed to come here on the wages we pay And I'm quoting the Peterborough chairman on Dembele We might have had players lined up but not in the class of Wallace.Not buying that at all -

Lol Dembele and Wallace were coming in on The wages we pay?Nonsense Plus the Peterborough chairman said Dembele had no interest in joining us and wanted Bournemouth -

If the players won't sign new contracts or what they want is beyond us then you try to sell them with 18 months or a year left on their deals. You keep saying they had deals on the table for 2 years well why the hell didn't the club sell them then? It's a club failing that we zero money for them.It isn't the fault of the players. -

They have paid big money to dross loads of times.They have an owner who is better than ours and who cares more but to say they haven't made quite a few mistakes in the transfer market and with wages is just wrong -

I heard it is around the 30k per week mark. Lenihen was on 14k per week here reportedly -

They obviously have smarter people at their clubs who drive more income into the club. It also helps that they don't play on front of 12-14 thousand at home every other week And Gibson is a far better owner. At the end of the day we were running out wage bill at 180% to our turnover which couldn't continue -

It's not good but last season we got Kaminski and Travis to put pen to paper so hopefully going forward the club will start acting normally(I'm not holding my breath I'm saying hopefully,) and sell players if they haven't committed to a new deal with 18-12 months left on their contracts. Rumours are Lenihen will be on 30k a week at Boro, he isn't worth that sort of money and I wouldn't have wanted the club committing to a 4 year deal on that contract -
Do you think Kompany would have gone there if they selling their better players and no money to replace them?He wouldn't have Chaddy . They have already an offer in to Wallace(Although he due a medical at West Brom)They have a bid in for Twine.Bellis close to joining on loan. They will be signing quite a few players this summer

I have.We butted heads in the January transfer window over our failure to bring in another front man. You were definitely right and hopefully we will be bringing in a couple of goalscores this window
