FFS!

He needs to really. Hopefully he gets a loan somewhere decent though.

"Hi, Rich, why do we bother getting out of bed on TDD?" "Rich, why are you always the eternal voice of doom and gloom on TDD, generally saying Rovers have shut up shop around 3pm, dashing all the hopes and dreams of Rovers fans everywhere?"

Can only assume chaddy is currently sat in a Co-op car park in Didcot waiting for the transfer to go through. Update from Rich Sharpe: "Chaddys transfer to Roverschat has fallen through at the last minute, BRFCS rejected the £86 offer. Chaddy will now make the 3hr journey back but his BRFCS teammates are said to be furious that he's missed Transfer deadline day on the boards. He's bringing back packs of Jammy Dodgers and party rings by way of an apology. He'll be all smiles at training tomorrow but his Mrs had already signed up for Zumba at the local Didcot community hall, which leaves Chaddy in the doghouse on all fronts."

Absolute scenes when Blackburn Rovers are rejecting offers for their players from Barca. Sell when we want mate.

What an absolute little scummer. Jail and end of his career. (Assuming this is all genuine)

McBride supposedly off to Queens Park in Scottish League one on loan. Doesn't seem like a great move?

Certainly is. Still haven't got this loan over line we were looking at hours ago. If we do manage to get that one done, I reckon that will be all we do.

Does this not make it even worse. He asked to talk to other clubs and it's not Bournemouth that are the bad guys, it's us. Huge risk that we are now carrying an unhappy player for the rest of the season.

I can only see this as a negative from our point of view. So yeah, bit underhand from Bournemouth but potentially played a blinder in unsettling one our first team players. The rest of the day will be interesting, as I imagine were now trying to offer him round and get rid but that would undoubtedly result in a worse deal all round for us.

Terrible news for us? Burned his bridges with most fans and probably some players. Now we have a player who doesn't want to be here, will he give 100%, will we even play him now?

Only thing we know for certain about tomorrow is that I won't be getting any bloody work done!

Can't upset those Ricoteens!

Mikel is 34, he's not what we need. He'd be at the top end of the pay structure too. A deal till the end of the season perhaps but it's only a short term solution.

Yeah, we got proper lucky that Diaz stepped up and randomly hit 20goals before Xmas but that was completely unpredictable. We won't get that lucky again that Davenport or some random U23 kid will just make the step up and fill the void. If he's going, we better have a permanent replacement lined up and ready to go.

This Wolves kid a full back? Does that mean we aren't expecting Pickering or Edun to be back anytime soon? Edit: looks like he's a midfielder

Set pieces in general are shite.

He's one of the few Twitter journo's who is actually decent. Generally spot on with transfer stuff. If our replacement is a loan from wolves, I'll be fuming. Mowbray said yesterday about selling and replacing with 2 23/24 year old championship quality players. So, make sure the fax machine is turned on! Also, Rothwell going to Bournemouth is a proper bridge burner 🖕

Hedges confirmed

Another attacking option and as yesterday showed, we really need one (or 2) I don't know much about this lad apart from YouTube highlights, so just going to have to judge what he does in a Rovers shirt.

Be a good signing for them.

Not much you can do. If he's not willing to give 100% you've either gotta throw him in and take this risk or leave him out altogether. Bottom line is neither of those situations are to the benefit of Blackburn Rovers football club. If he really wants to go, even though it's not great timing all round, best move would be to get shut and sign someone else who does want to be here. It's the only way to move forward as a lot fans will already have the knives out for him.

Yep, would be a good signing.

If it's the UEFA FFP then they are looking at introducing salary caps based on a clubs revenue and then another overall cap to stop clubs artificially inflating their revenue (sponsoring themselves for insane figures) The punishment is for overspending on salaries, and it's progressive, so the more they overspend the more they are hit with a "luxury tax". From what I read anyway
