Isn't Tyrhys Northern Irish?

That is what the fans of Wigan, Bolton, Blackpool, Bury, Macclesfield, Stockport and Chester all thought too....

Having actively worked on finding new buyers I can tell you there are more hen's teeth than serious candidates. To my knowledge, there has only been one buyer who 1) had the cash to pay-off the Venky's 2) had the cash to invest seriously in Rovers 3) did their homework 4) submitted a serious offer in writing. That was Qatar in 2011

Belgium only got a 1-1 with Ivory Coast last night although that probably says more about the quality of Ivorians emerging.

Of course- absolute genius of a player

And your list of buyers is....

Evans subbed after 77 minutes Aleesami seems to be getting a full game in the 0-0 v Serbia. Williams not got a run for RoI after 80 minutes in their 0-0 in Slovakia

Agreed, Roque Santa Cruz but for his injuries. Duff world class at Rovers- never did at after he left us though.

Corry Evans very involved. A great cross followed by a typical Evans scuffed shot.

Not Rovers but viewing figures for all sports have collapsed in the USA this year. Boy is English football hung out to dry if numbers like this repeat for worldwide audiences of our game. https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2020/10/the-decline-in-pandemic-sports-viewership.html

Aleesami starts for Norway. Williams a sub for RoI

Bournemouth asking for £17m

Dack is six weeks away if we are lucky. So he makes the bench on 21 November at Luton and probably stays on the bench to avoid a real kicking in the 24 November game at Preston. So with the best will in the world he gets 9 games in before the January window. He is going to have to go some to attract a PL bid in January. Possible but gut feel is it is not happening. Next summer is a different matter altogether.

I believe Rovers have the same arrangement as when they were re-banked away from Barclays- a £15m overdraft from the State Bank of India secured by Venky's.

If West Brom beat West Ham to King, presumably King replaces Grosicki who is in Forest via Athens Also lining up against us on a similar deal is likely to be Anthony Knockaert.

West Brom in for King

England Under 21s achieved a creditable 3-3 draw this evening away to the might of the Andorra Under 21s

Kenny had that ability to stop everything thrown at him. There is only a game on 9 September 2006 at Bramall Lane which ended 0-0 in which Kenny achieved a shut out against us.

Who is going to take him and pay the dramatically higher wages in these Covid times?

Rovers had over 30 shots and scored 0. Crewe had 1 shot and scored once.

According to LT, Nyambe is no worry for Rovers contract renewal. Don't snipe I am just saying what I have read!

The non-Venky debt is smaller than it was then paradoxically. I will remind you, their tenure 2010-2018 was horrific and the worst time I have experienced supporting Rovers. However, if you do a simple mind exercise of saying we have owners X instead of Venky's from the day of the appointment of Mowbray, then owners X could have hardly done any better than they have done. Now if Mowbray and Waggott have squandered some of the huge advantages this have given them, the argument is with the management and not with the ownership.

The Messageboard was up in arms when the club announced two years ago that it was going to build steadily in the Championship and would not expect to be challenging for promotion until 20/21. For good or for ill very few football clubs think in those sorts of multi season plans. Equally, they might not be any good but Mowbray and Waggott are seasoned football professionals. They were recruited as such, given their parameters and told to do the job without interference. Again, for good or for ill the Rovers ownership has honoured its commitment and left the professional management it recruited to do the jobs they were recruited for. Very few clubs don't have interfering owners who also write the cheques when they are needed.
