He can't have been that much of a fan of Telalovic as he hardly ever started him . Clearly JDT wanted better

2025 Summer Transfer Thread. 😂
islander200 replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Why gestede said in the podcasts when we sell a player the playing budget won't increase? Why would we want them selling anyone? -

Trafford will want the clean sheet and they will want the 100 points. -

Since promotion was secured some of the loans they had became permanent deals so it might be that? -
Unless they are selling Tonali but i do think they will have more funds this summer but I do agree don't see Wharton ending up at Newcastle

Rudy Gestede - Big Chill podcast Interview
islander200 replied to Eddie's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He said In the interviews the budget will be roughly same. He outlined the ClUBS plan.Develop and sell with it not making a difference to the playing budget. -
Rudy Gestede - Big Chill podcast Interview
islander200 replied to Eddie's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Pipe down you I will view my opinion if you don't like it then put me on ignore and stop replying to me. For them to lay the blame at Gestedes door and fool the fanbase in to believing he is the problem it would not only take them sacking him but then investing proper money into recruitment which isn't going to happen. -
Rudy Gestede - Big Chill podcast Interview
islander200 replied to Eddie's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
None of those people you mentioned came out and said the CLUBS policy was to develop players and sell them with it having no impact on the playing budget. Gestede said in the interview when he took the job he was aware that no matter where we were in the table, no matter how many players sold for how many millions the budget for recruitment wouldn't be increased. Anyone with common sense will realise that Gestede is not dictating that policy -

I don't think they will be happy with what he said in those interviews. Like I said it's club decision to operate this way not a Rudy Gestede decision. Anyone with an ounce of common sense will realise ousting just Gestede from the club won't suddenly transform us into a club with a real ambition to progress or lead to a better playing budget. -
Rudy Gestede - Big Chill podcast Interview
islander200 replied to Eddie's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He hasn't taken the heat off the other 2 He has just publicly stated what the clubs model is.Gestede does not run the club, it isn't Gestedes model or policy it is the clubs policy. If anything it puts more pressure on the other 2 as Gestede has told everyone the clubs plan and ambition develop young players and sell them with it having no impact on the recruitment budget. That is the clubs plan/vision which Gestede is part of but he isn't the one who is dictating that model, he said it himself in the interview, he knew his budget and he knew the budget wouldn't get bigger no matter where we were in the table or how many millions we brought in through player sales -

We definitely want Preston to be losing today and still be in with a shout of going down after this weekends results with them playing Bristol City in their last game We don't want them already on the beach for that game -
Rudy Gestede - Big Chill podcast Interview
islander200 replied to Eddie's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He isn't taking the heat off the other 2 or the owners by saying what he has done It isn't Gestede who has decided that our purpose is to develop our academy players and sell them with no reinvestment back into the playing squad. I just don't know what world Gestede Is living in that he believes the fan base should be getting behind such a nonsense model and we should just be grateful that we have a team to put out on a Saturday afternoon or midweek evening He said it in black n White,promotion is a pipe dream that will rely on a lot of luck and the clubs model is to develop players to sell at a profit to reduce what the ownership have to put in year on year just to keep the lights on -

Gestede why the fuck can Massive revenue club Millwall sell a young asset to a Premier league club and reinvest a healthy portion back into their team Fair play Eddie for keeping your temper -
Rudy Gestede - Big Chill podcast Interview
islander200 replied to Eddie's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Unreal We want to develop our academy players and sell them with none of the money going back into the team We should be happy this ffs Gestede is an absolute clown -
Mowbray does well initially at most clubs(Inc here) he is at but then usually it goes pear shaped. I also don't fully buy it when he is described as Mr Nice guy. That goes out the window when he is faced with any criticism. He did it here many times "its not 94/95 anymore.He only criticised the ownership and questioned the running of the club when it became apparent he wasn't getting a new deal ,if he had been offered a new contract he would not have kicked up a fuss over the club refusing to sell Rothwell . He should have been sacked on the spot when he did an interview and openly admitted he encouraged Stuart Harvey to take the job on offer from massive club Sunderland who were in League One at the time.

We were 2 nil down against Derby and they looked like scoring every time they came forward. He had to change something in that game and the performance improved when he did(granted not enough). -

Iv no confidence they will spend that amount but the summer we sold Armstrong we hardly spent anything then the following summer fees were spent on Brittain,Hyam and Szmodic for 5/6 million -

Venky’s (& Suhail) Out Protest Ideas
islander200 replied to DuffsLeftPeg's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
If the rumour that he is to take over from Waggott is true then he needs mentioning. Yeah he might be new to the party but it needs to be heard that it would be totally unacceptable for him to be appointed CEO -
v Portsmouth (a) - 29/3/2025
islander200 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
They have a lot of players out according to the telegraph no confidence we will win like but would have been tougher a few weeks ago -
Yes we shouldn't have sold him But we wouldn't have got the Gray fee if we waited until Summer when the player himself would have most likely felt he would have needed to move on People on here might not like it and I don't agree with it but fact is Gray was being rated higher externally than Wharton, England involvement and fee paid is testament to that. Big clubs ain't gonna ignore an £18 million fee to pay 30 million only a few months later
-
Fine by me cus no chance that money is being paid for him
-
With no sell on though,coming from a club who had recently been in the Premier league and his family name is big within English football .
