The Summer Transfer Window (Press Submit)
tomphil replied to RoversClitheroe's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Watching those 3v3s on the Youtube channel it was very competitive but one thing is obvious, the keepers are much good. Save nothing that isn't straight at them at the perfect height. -
Why don't they give a discount to ST holders for these games it would be a nice incentive seeing as we struggle to sell 9k these days.

The odd set up won't help he's a Head Coach but no DoF to work under there fore he's trying to operate like a manager. -

And the 20% tariff they've been hit with. -

Because the self serving 🔔ends running the show this side of the world have told them they don't need to. Making themselves look good in the process and no doubt lining up hefty bonuses. -

Yep and split over a few years coming in instalments most of that lot will be earmarked for running costs. -

This needs pinning on the thread because the wires are constantly crossed between 'investigation' and 'approval for funds' which as you've shown are two separate things now although obviously one is born out of the other. -

Waggot talks shite it's plain and simple, the training ground, court case, funding, new bus..... How many examples are there ? I also questioned last time just how hard Vs lawyers are pushing this, i very much suspect not very hard at all and it's marked non urgent. No way this sees the light of day before the end of the next window in Jan, everything these lot are involved in is smoke and mirrors. Probably sell Yuki for a quick profit in January if he keeps up his goalscoring. -

There is a bit of confusion on this bond or guarantee thing, if it's a guarantee then they aren't paying double they or their bank just has to put up a cast iron guarantee of matching funds. A few ways that could be done without them paying an extra rupee but if it's a bond then obviously it's double bubble with one wedge sent and the other held until the first lot is accounted for. A guarantee though shouldn't be a problem to them. -

It's such a formality it gets buried at the back of the queue, then postponed for another day. -
They normally are a tenner at this stage but i assume the opportunity to squeeze more out of one or two thousand Blackpool fans will be tempting.

That's the right policy as long as money is reinvested and good replacements are lined up to sign. Still got to keep a good core of experience though to build around otherwise you start throwing stupid wages at one year contracts for old and i jury prone players, through desperation and contradicting the objective. Never catch Waggot doing that though...... -

Wonder if this is resting on the court case ? Cleared = cheap, not cleared = cat B....

How can any 'final hearing' be sorted in the space of 1 or 2 mins ? As usual all very very odd. -

Just don't understand the push from some to 'sell' Travis. Different scenario if clubs were lining up 1 million plus bids but they aren't, still i suppose Gallagher has gone so focus has shifted to the next target. Travis is and always has been a valuable member of our squad, far from perfect like most of them but his good spells always seem to coincide with us doing ok. There is a reason Ipswich wanted him just to provide a bit of strong back up for the job in hand, be a ball winning water carrier which is what he is. Every strong squad needs one of those. I'd like to see him do at least half a season under Eustace and see where we are in Jan although i understand from his point his point of view he might be looking for a last good contract. Unlikely he'll get that here and Rovers taking decent money for him with the intention to RE-INVEST in a younger replacement is also fair enough in the next 12 months. Just shoving him out the door to get him off the payroll for the sake of it is bollocks, did nobody learn anything from last season ? -

It's good to hear Eustace is trying to manage upwards and is putting demands on the purse holders and recruitment staff, JDT was no different. He's showing he means business after last seasons yes man bedding in routine, the more headache he gives Waggot and the Shadow MD the better. Chances of him seeing it out beyond January if they don't deliver ?
