  1. Again, hard to disagree but shouldn't those on the ground at Ewood have pride in their own performance?
  2. Becoming increasingly hard to disagree.
  3. I wouldn't be happy with Hyam the way he's been "performing" recently.
  4. Symptomatic of a coach/DOF and playing squad under no pressure to achieve results from management.
  5. Difficult to see where the next win is coming from, if we can't beat either Rotherham or Huddersfield at home, who CAN we beat? Anyhow let's start a new Gallagher stat we know is correct. 0% win rate since his return to the side.
  6. Good point. That'll leave us what, a week to get any business done? Not a lot of time - good job we have a DOF who will be able to get deals done quickly at the end of the window! Oh wait..............
  7. But apart from that you think it's OK? Lol.
  8. The Brum fans seem to think very highly of him. I think this could be a good signing as a stop gap solution to stir things up a bit for the rest of the season but as a long term option to bolster our striking resources it's more can kicking down the road unfortunately.
  9. Low scoring and injury prone? As close to a Gallagher clone as you could get! In all seriousness when he's played against Rovers in the past (usually off the bench) I've always thought he was a proper handful (Completely unlike Gallagher) The age is an issue though would only really be a temporary fix to ruffle things up for the rest of the season and get us over the line.
  10. He hasn't been playing badly for a "few" games, he was crap in the second half of last season as well. He was a virtual ever present in a side which only mustered 30 points from the final twenty six games of last season. And the "injury" excuse can't be cited in his defence for last season. He just isn't that good.
  11. I was thinking that myself. Hyam isn't a patch on Lenihan imo and neither of them are a patch on JPVH when he was here. Not sure how the latter is going on at Brighton.
  12. There's an army of analysts at the Club who don't have a lot to do other than sit around twiddling their thumbs. A lot of contributions in the LT comments and on social media stick out like a sore thumb to me.
  13. Yep me too. I'd go further and offload him for free just to get his wages off our books.
  14. Ah - so if despite our financial situation the owners intervened and said we are not selling Gallagher because we need him on the pitch then that would be an ownership intervention and an instance of them meddling in team affairs that you WOULD approve of? On Gallagher we've scored plenty of goals without him, that hasn't really been the issue so I don't think his return will make a scrap of difference other than hinder our fluidity going forward. The problem has been with the defence and specifically since "Leo" came in, the goalkeeper.
  15. No - imo he's just a bang average player at best. He was crap in the second half of last season as well.
  16. Why do people peddle the line that Broughton is blameless in this deal? Also whilst the owners have now landed us in the **** - twelve months ago pre restrictions I don't see how it could have been them who vetoed the deal, they'd have had to authorise the deal in the first place for it to have reached such an advanced stage. Why would they sanction the deal in the first place only to veto it a day or two later?. We still haven't been told what went wrong with it either despite the Egg promising he would come clean but in any event as DOF its his responsibility to get deals over the line
  17. I like that, if someone wants to knock up a T shirt or sweat shirt with that logo on I'd certainly purchase. Edit: Maybe add a "Broughton" as well.
  18. But...but you said this situation with the Courts was a temporary blip which would be resolved shortly before the end of the summer transfer window.
  19. Exactly, the offers the square root of Jack shit, the fact that the best thing people can say about him is he wins the odd defensive header says it all. He's supposed to be a centre forward ffs. If we sell him for £1.5m and don't replace him so be it. We're wont be losing anything on the pitch and will be banking £1.5m. It's not a Nyambe/Lenihan/Rothwell/ BBD or even Travis situation whereby we would be losing one of our better players or even a useful one. He's an overpaid liability who should have been offloaded long ago. What will we do without that solitary goal in the second half of the season? Even on his best form he'd only be scoring 3 or 4.
  20. I'm well aware of all that but I thought it wasn't in dispute that they'd made those illegal payments hence why we're currently under the auspices of an Indian Court. Therefore I was wondering what J*B was hoping we'd "be found guilty" of when it seems to be a fait accompli.
  21. We'll have to see if everything just goes through on the nod in future just because it has already done once. I'm not convinced but the proof of the pudding will be in the eating. I agree with you on the paragraph above. It's the crucial bit of info that the fans groups need to find out. Are these restrictions open ended and indefinite or will they be coming to an end relatively soon. If the former then they should be selling and really Waggott as CEO of the Club should be advising them as such.
  22. Ah - I wrongly presumed you reproduced this info to show the owners in a negative light. So whilst everyone on here almost without exception views this as a fairly desperate state of affairs you're trying to frame it as something the owners should be given credit for?
  23. Waggott obviously knew about all this some time ago, hence the infamous interview about the new team bus in which he also bragged about things which seemed at the time as though they should be taken as read such as wages and tax bill having been paid. He also said as I recall something along the lines of "It's time for us to give the owners something back". What the devious sack of shit didn't say was the reason why we were supposed to be grateful bills to date had been paid and the team could no longer fly to away games etc. There's certainly been no mention whatsoever of the potential for a winding up order prior to now. Imo there is no guarantee an Indian Court will continue to authorise the tri monthly payments, the way I've read it is each and every item of expenditure has to be itemised and authorised from scratch on its own merits. However even if the payments were to be authorised for the foreseeable future and we could limp on for a while the situation isn't really sustainable in the long run as other Clubs will know we are desperate and we'll never be able to get decent money for any of our players. Ipswich already seem to have sussed this out.
