....and even then the announcement by the club may not be sufficient. New bar for a signing may need to be them playing a competitive fixture and the club not being sanctioned for it.

Im Chinese. So puns about Chinese people or the Chinese language or names isn't me getting offended on behalf of others. As for the Hiroshima comments I simply think it's in bad taste to make light of something so serious. As I said, would it be accepted to do the same about Hillsborough or Munich if we were signing a player who could be associated to those events?

It certainly isn't. And it isn't something to make light of, particularly when so many innocent civilians were killed.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Racism isn't banter. Trying to get laughs out of cultural differences is based on race. Linked to this there were some comments alluding to the Hiroshima bomb in which hundreds of thousands were killed. I'd like to think 'jokes' or 'banter' about Hillsborough or Munich would quickly be called out as unacceptable so let's not make light of what was mass genocide.

Can imagine that if we sign this lad that: A - he's to replace Szmods. B - Swag has convinced the Vs it'll open up marketing opportunities. Can't wait for David Dunn to be drafted in for the commercial for the first Vs takeaway in Japan.

Antisocial foul is a great phrase. Imagine if Andy Todd played against them.

Then we'd have potentially struggled to meet our financial obligations. Seems like the Wharton money - which like most transfers will be spread across installments likely over years - is being kept to keep us solvent

I imagine what we've offered Dolan isn't in the public domain. The definition of competitive could be wide. For all we know he could've been offered 8k a week but he might think he's worth 12k a week.

Offset by signing the first player to score 30+ goals in a season since Shearer for a relatively modest fee?

Eye watering price for infant kits but appears to be across the board. England kitbon sports direct is £55 and Bradford city (also Macron) is £45. PNE £55.

The neck label pretty much confirms the away shirt design. Nice touch on the inner band with the date. Collar is nicer than on the title shirt - always found it a bit too thick.

There a macron size guide on the store site. An XL shirt for most manufacturers is around 44-48 inches on the chest, Macron works out at 42.5. size up one or two sizes, depending on the fit you like.

I don't doubt we have little to no budget for transfers, all signs seem to point to it being the case. However, there does seem to be some hypocrisy when it comes to people's views on Elliot Jackson's work. There seems to have been a fair number of comments along the lines of him having no information about going ons at the club. Yet now he has published something which suits the narrative of the club having financial issues, very few of the same people are questioning his information.

He's played 50 games in the Bundesliga with 11 goals and a dozen games in the Prem so a comparison purely on last season and age doesnt tell the full picture.

The LET has an 'exclusive' on Dolan's contract today. Noting recent comments on the Rovers reporters they've had the article, in my view, is poor. Essentially outlines the state of play as being the same and then all the common sense scenarios people are generally aware of - could sign a better contract, leave for compensation in 12 months or go if we get a good bid. Hardly rocket science.

The club have confirmed Leo's exit

And another...

As long as the pace on the wings has some quality and work rate. Let's not be bringing in a Sorba Thomas type.

Venkys have been reading the book of football clichés and wondering why we've signed Hedges 4 times and Gally half a dozen times.

The smart move would be to get it on sale on Friday or the very least Saturday and capitalise on people watching the Euros games in the bar

Think it said week commencing, not on the 1st

Was Oliver Burke in the Bundesliga? Cos that article has Broughton specifically saying a player from the Bundesliga had a medical but we couldn't complete the transfer

O'Brien was a loan with the reported fee based on promotion. McGuire's initial agreed fee ok sure was reported as being closer to £2.5m. Irrespective of the above it does sound like there's some morally corrupt people in the club. Not surprising given Cole's story of getting shafted by SW.

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/23786661.gregg-broughton-explains-mystery-blackburn-rovers-medical/ We got a winger in for the medical last summer on deadline day. But then finances didn't allow it to complete.

Didn't we have a bundasliga winger in last summer ready to be signed on deadline day, medical done etc and then it was said we didn't have the funds to complete it?
