and sign a new contract!

Thanks. That would be why I've never heard go him then!

I do believe Dolan has been singled out for criticism for reasons I don't know. Ewood traditionally loves a committed, whole hearted trier even if he isn't the crown jewels and I can go back farther than Ally McCleod! Dolan is better than many fans believe he is.

Yes but they've built a new one!

I didn't get your reference to Pablo.

Does that "different way" include letting the contracts of your best players expire so we can lose them for nothing? How can any manager plan for the future in those circumstances?

Speculation isn't it?

Someone who tells them what they want to hear. Like Steve did.

Sunderland must be absolutely gutted at that loss after leading for so long. Leeds played out of jail card there. Good for us but I don't really see us catching Sunderland. We might well play them in the Play-offs though!

My thoughts too. So it won't happen.

I must be honest here Len, you've out-obscured me!

or John!

Looking bloody terrible. Bad time to find a new coach this close to the end of the season. Eustace did us no favours there.

2nd lowest spending on transfers after Swansea over a period of years.. 13 (14?) players free to leave for nothing in the summer, including our very best players. We are truly incomparable. As JDT realised before Eustace came. Open your eyes (and keep your promises!)

As if you didn't know!! Both stuffed around by Venkys already anyway.

Sounds eerily like what you say every transfer window! If we all just do that there's no point having a discussion board.

The problem is he has first to persuade the owners to allow them to play for us. Eustace couldn't. (I'm referring to contracts.)

I didn't mind it or care one way or the other. But no doubt that Derby's immediate prospects are very poor. I assume Eustace see longer-term prospects for them which he certainly didn't see for us. We really are an oddity, 5th in the championship but in deep shit all the same. Derby and Rovers are complete opposites.

but you can't help it!!

What? I assume you've forgotten about the Raya, Wharton Szmodics transfer money? Doesn't count eh?

but...but he's got no pace!

Good hard-hitting article from the Football League Paper on Rovers and Venkys. Maybe someone with more brains than me can post it.

What's been achieved has been achieved despite the owners so "yes".

Quite right---the players are getting on with it and we should too. No more point going over old ground. Looking forward I'm worried the club will sign someone who tinkers (like Mowbray). Let's hope whoever's appointed doesn't overthink it. Spirit of the players is key for us. Interestingly the players don't seem affected by a) no contracts being extended or so many loan players who'll leave. But I am! 🥶

Put a sock in it! Seems like you're on a mission.
