Some story with Mpanzu .It's a great achievement by them and a deserved promotion with how the season went for them -

In one of the previous matches the commentary said they need to spend 10 million on it to meet the requirements for it to be used in the premier league -

Jon Dahl Tomasson - Sweden coach

What's the bets Broughton and JDT will return from the India trip with an improved contract for Tomasson? As much as I want JDT to continue what he has started I do hope his trip to India doesn't make him unsackable like some of our previous managers -
Are we clearly doing that though. He said if we want to pay a transfer fee it would have to come from selling a player.Maybe it will be loans and free transfers only ,like a number of other teams in the championship.Or lower cost permanent deals by shifting some of our deadwood. I don't see us selling Wharton unless someone does take a risk and pays big money,and I mean more than £10 million
-
Small chance of keeping him? They wouldn't sell Brererton or Rothwell with only a year on their deals but you reckon we only have a small chance of keeping Wharton? I'd be inclined to believe Broughton that only a ridiculous offer would tempt the club, but we won't get those offers for him this summer.

No matter what we did in January if this job came up and was offered JDT then he would have been off -

Nothing will happen until their seasons are finished. Martin will be at Southampton by then -
Jon Dahl Tomasson - Sweden coach
islander200 replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Why on earth would we make an approach for Martin when we still have a manager? Do you think Martin or any other manager would wait around to see if our managers position became available -

islander200 replied to bigbrandjohn's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
If he is going to Charlton he won't be on anything close to the money he was on here. Surely he won't step down to league one someone in the championship will offer him a contract and if not Mowbray at Sunderland I could see Millwall taking an interest in him.Be sad to see him drop down to that level again he still has the ability to play at this level with a team that will suit his style and a manager who values him more -

Said on sky the other day that West Brom had to take a £20 million loan out in January and if they didn't go up this season cut backs would have to be made.Their Parachute payments have ended I think and been said their owner reluctant to put more money in -

Last summer we had the highest net spend in the championship.Not fortunes no but we ain't the only club who are reluctant to spend millions on the squad . -

islander200 replied to Sweaty Gussets's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I find it odd that we haven't tried Brererton in the CF role all season.Surely it's been looked on the training field or behind closed doors. I'd rather Dolan or Thomas to be starting with Brererton given a chance as the front man. Delighted A.Wharton starts -

islander200 replied to a topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Dolan buries that chance and we went in front at that point of the game and we would have gone on to win comfortably imo. Second half poor by JDT.Changes needed to be made Wharton on sooner and Gally very lucky to have lasted as long as he did We looked more potent in the spell with Brererton out of the side ,granted it's hard to leave him out as on paper he looks one of the only goalscorer but poor tonight,I still think he Is putting in the same effort and work rate is there but he has been technically poor for months now.Id leave him out on Wednesday or start him cf but I'd leave him and Gallagher out Kaminski back in Goal .A Wharton starting ,S Wharton starting Wednesday huge we are still in the race on paper the fixtures look tough but playing the likes of Coventry,Preston and Millwall leaves it in our hands and on our day are capable of beating all 3. -
Play-offs - Can we do it? (POLL)
islander200 replied to TheRevAshton's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
We have been in and around the top 6 all season so will be a disappointment if we don't do it now. Personally feel we will finish in the top 6 dependant on us getting at the very least 4 points from the next 2. None of the chasing pack are being consistent -
v Hull City (h) 15/4/23 @ 19.45pm
islander200 replied to a topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I honestly don't see why we can't make the playoffs. We have had a couple of bad results and poor performances Vs Brum and Norwich but on Monday 2 soft goals conceded aside we looked very good and Huddersfield were on the back of winning their last 3 including beating Boro 4-2 in the previous game. None of the chasing pack and even the other clubs in the top 6 Luton aside are winning every week. The next 2 games are huge.This weekend for example Boro play Norwich and Preston face Millwall a win at home v Hull and we could have a 3 points cushion again with an extra game to play. On paper our run in looks slightly tougher than the others but still we have the second best home record and on our day and give anyone in the league a game. I just couldn't agree with your mentality at the minute.Imo the same attacking intent as shown v Huddersfield and pre international break in our next 2 winnable home matches and we will get the 6 points -
v Huddersfield (a) 10/4/23 @ 12.30pm
islander200 replied to Sweaty Gussets's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Next 2 games are huge. With Preston playing Millwall and Boro v Norwich a win against Hull will put us in a nice position.Hopefully a Boro win And Millwall to win or draw -

Maybe it's because 5 ,6 if you include Khadra of the starting 11 that got us into such a good position had departed the club. We finished 8th last season but that was due to an exceptional couple of months, with our defence mean and Brererton banging them in.The minute Brererton got injured and Rothwell started playing shit we went tumbling down the table.The minute the squad players /January signings were called upon results where more often than not poor. JDT did not arrive into a top 8 squad.
