Can't say anything more and I'm not aware of any real detail anyway just of a couple of developments that have happened already so far. It really is up to the Club to deliver on these seemingly promising developments in due course and keep us all informed on a managed basis.

Yes. There is an immense amount of top level experience and expertise available to the Club within the group. Notwithstanding the silly criticism on here of their QEGS background.

Whoa. Didn't say that at all Matty. I meant in relation to not being aware about what is generally going on at Ewood I.e. that management have allowed us to get into a situation where £30 m + worth of talent could walk away for nothing next summer etc. As regards the specific question of Brockhall the simple answer is I don't know. My view is the owners don't need to sell a few acres of land nr Whalley and were probably initially spun a line by the Coventrio about a new world class training facility. However I could be completely wrong.

I understand certain loyal, dedicated and well meaning fans have been working selflessly behind the scenes to establish lines of communication with the owners and that those initial efforts appear to have been well received, early signs are relatively encouraging and as a result the process is ongoing. I'm not privy to what has been said in discussions between the Club and said parties as I am not part of said group and it was apparently agreed by all that everything should remain confidential. However I am led to believe that looking forward to next season and beyond there are genuine grounds for optimism and that certain changes have already been made behind the scenes which potentially could also be very positive. I'm not quite sure why the Club haven't actually announced these changes yet but I am presuming they will be doing so in due course. These changes with potentially a good deal more to come would also tend to suggest that when people say the owners don't know what's going on at Ewood or simply don't care, that is very much wide of the mark. However as with everything we'll have to see what actually unfurls in due course and see if these green shoots of optimism are justified. In the meantime, I'd urge everyone whether as an individual or as part of a particular fan group to keep up the pressure and contribute their constructive views and feedback.

So by process of elimination the others won't?

Ridiculously so. I've only seen 12/1 so far, even that I would say is a lump on price looking at it objectively and without a Rovers hat on.

We needed an out and out striker way more than we needed cover in either full back position!

Can't really explain why they're still here. There is a non-sinister reason that I've heard put forward and it may be correct but if true it flies in the face of common sense and good business practice.

I'd be very surprised if that was the case unless Waggott has ditched Mowbray in a belated attempt to save his own backside. I would find it far more believable that the Coventrio have fallen completely out of favour with the owners.

Not sure they are but after their usual train wreck of a transfer window it's going to be a long old season.

For you to say that I think speaks volumes. Plus, how are the only two guys we've actually spent a permanent fee on going to get on the pitch? They can't both play at LB unless the guy from Lincoln is somehow going to be shoehorned in in midfield. To say it's a shambles doesn't do it justice. Just the usual running round at the last minute desperately trying to see who's still available, bringing in bodies for the sake of it in positions where we already have cover and completely ignoring the priority areas most in need of attention.

14 goals in seven seasons. Those two goals could prove vital in our efforts to stay up this time. 🙄

100%.

As long as we survive.

Don't suppose there is one. Mowbray probably won't give a **** as he probably knows he won't be here next season even if he does manage to see this one out.

This loaning players in so we can loan our own players out is absolutely ludicrous. The only people benefitting are agents taking their cut out of the deal.

Why do you keep saying "Announce X, Y, or Z" when there's absolutely no prospect of us signing any of them?

Nope. Will just stop Dolan getting game time. Even looks like him.

Haven't even got the one player we actually need the most yet. (The Armstrong replacement)

Without the goals?

That is exceptionally uninspiring. Never scored more than 11 in England and at 26 not likely to be getting any better. What's the standard in French Ligue 2 like?

Well done. Hope you have something substantive to report in terms of a decent permanent striker as opposed to the usual catalogue of excuses and hard luck stories. It really will be an absolute disgrace if, having known in advance for some time Armstrong was leaving and getting a headline fee before sell on clauses of £18 m we fail to bring in a half decent replacement in at least the £3m sort of range.

You should know by now we only ever end up with whoever is left at the last minute that the parent Clubs want to offload on loan. Not the players we actually need in the positions we actually need them in.

And so it begins.

One of the problems with Mowbray is he has always seemingly prioritised quantity over quality.
