God loves an optimist !

Yep, someome within U.K. football authorities needs to finally pick this up and shine a torch on it ! Wake up and smell the coffee, these bastards are strangling the life out a famous institution, founder members of the Football League and next year, if still breathing, 150 years old.

Can we imagine Swag trying to negotiate with Valladolid owner, fat Ronaldo by saying my owners previously wanted to sign Ronaldinho 😂

He looked fantastic, only young local lad who had come through ranks but no idea whether he played any part in their stellar 23/24 season.

I think Iversen is a great keeper, surprised he didn’t get the Leicester shirt as was excellent at Knob End.

Absolutely love this one, nice and simple and got to catch on 👌

Take that Duffy, you f***ing twat. Apparently today anniversary of his sell out at Cardiff, the 2 OG’s and red card to force his move.

I think Eustace has the potential to be a really good manager but he isn’t a magician. If they give him some reasonable backing, I think he would keep us at the top end.

Normal service resumed, FFS !

We need a proper keeper in, impossible to make any real progress with Pears in the nets.

Yep, too slow to be effective out wide.

I know that he missed a hatful at Ewood but I think that Sinclair Armstrong will be a really good signing for Bristol, big, strong and quick.

Likewise, don’t begrudge Sammy his move. That must be circa £40m in within about 12 months, I now expect the club to allow us to recruit with some proper money but know I will be disappointed. It really has been a long hard 14 years and sadly, we still appear to be on the road to oblivion. Let’s see what happens on the 20th.

Maybe it is Ipswich denying him the move, pay up and he’s gone.

He is too slow and laboured to do it against better teams.

Nice to see the Big Mac, up and running.

Looked good defensively save for the set pieces, three in two games.

Wow, only £3m less than what they took Adam off us and they reject it ! Take note Ipswich.

We can indeed, Sammy is effectively under contract for 3 more years, a contract that he was happy to sign 6 months ago.

Quite possible, that is what happens during negotiations. Until a contract is signed, there is no deal cast in stone.

And Teacake / Barm debate

No, perceived value can be very different depending on perspective. I’m sure that, like me, you have suggested that we sold Adam W way to low but under your scenario, we received his value 🤷‍♂️

Only if you have a willing seller, a reluctant seller can ask for whatever they want and any interested party can then make their own decisions.

If a release clause was included, there would be precious little room for negotiation, meet it and he’s gone. My guess is that no such clause is in the contract.

The salient point your missing is that he is effectively contracted to Rovers for another 3 years. He is paid well and was happy to sign a contract for good money and therefore, we are under no moral obligation to sell, unless it is seen to benefit Blackburn Rovers.
