Penwortham Blue

It is the question that I keep asking, what was in it for Blackburn Rovers, he was already under lock and key on a very low wage and with no sale price ceiling. Mind boggles

He’s not the best but in this day and age, even for a non scoring CF, £1m is nothing short of insulting.

I have to say, I have really warmed to John Eustace, he seems a really genuine good guy. Given the absolute shambles of a club we have become, it is difficult to see how any Manager / Head Coach can successfully operate, they are being set up to fail and JDT wasn’t having it and I wouldn’t be surprised if Eustace makes a similar decision at some point.

Absolutely crazy that at 37 he can miss a pre season and yet we still sign him 🙈

I share the worry, let’s be honest any team in the Championship would be able to put a better package on the table.

They have reportedly paid £20m for Liam Delap, how on earth can Sammy only be worth £8m 🤷‍♂️

With the U21’s also conceding in the first minute and losing at Nantwich Town, was it a clean sweep of conceding in the first minute and losing. Who needs any incoming signings when things are looking so bright 🙈

It looks like he was wrong as I am sure the Evening Star reporter is more on the ball than Elliott J.

My pal is a ST holder at Portman Road and his understanding is that there was no deal on offer for Hladky, he was released at end of contract. He also said that he was very surprised as said he was a bloody good keeper and one of main reasons they got promoted !

£45k tops is my bet, less than any decent tradesmen.

Pity Swag and the lunatics didn’t sign any of these £350/400k gems !

Wow, we haven’t had a shot on target, absolutely woeful.

I might be wrong but I seem to remember the potential signing of Caulker being mooted when Mowbray was still Manager.

Also the striker who was kept around all day on deadline day, as confirmed by Mowbray, the consensus is it was Josh Maja.

Doesn’t it just, absolute scandal. Gray isn’t anywhere near Adam class 😡

The women pundits and presenters are turning up everywhere. I know it is 2024 but they are getting the gigs for PC reasons rather than credentials / insightful knowledge and it is bloody annoying.

Yep, looks likely that he will end up at Wednesday. I think he would be well worth a shout, definitely has talent.

Nada 🙈

To be fair, I did submit two questions to JE, 1) what were his aspirations / ambitions for the season and 2) what would he do if he wasn’t given the necessary backing in the transfer market or within the player budget. He did attempt to answer the first one but I don’t blame him for not covering the second one, he’s really between a rock and hard place albeit no doubt getting well paid for being in such a position.

Wouldn’t that be brilliant, back to the days when a local derby was a Boxing Day banker, on and off the pitch.

If the owners aren’t particularly interested, it would make good CSR as a local business and be welcomed by many of their local staff who possibly have Rovers credentials. Nothing wrong with EuroGarages or even Asda on the shirt.

😂

Quickest Academy cameo ever, that is bonkers ! Why sign in the first place, can only imagine that the family have decided to relocate back to the Netherlands 🤷‍♂️

Good on them. I would really love to take the moral high ground and say, enough is enough in protest at almost everything that our club has become but then I think, if someone like me doesn’t renew a ST, then who will and I don’t want my club to die. It is a very sorry state of affairs and I am sure, a situation many on this board recognise and agonise over.
