This move must have been on the cards for a while? He got less than a week of Pre-season in. He's gotta go there and do well.

The bloke seems so mild mannered, its hard to imagine him falling out with anyone.

I actually thought Derby were going to back him with a reasonable amount (not crazy amounts) but as you say, the fact they aren't, just doubles down on how much of a circus things are at Ewood.

This saga might finally come to an end

Andrews has been confirmed as the new head coach at Brentford https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cn4lj9gv7lno

Thanks for that, watched it yesterday. Really well done to all the speakers 👏 Rovers, however are just a complete and total embarrassment, bringing the shutters down and cutting communications because the fans are unhappy. Are we run by stroppy 14 year old teenagers? And Suahil thinks Venkys, one of the biggest disasters in our clubs history should write the foreword for our 150 year anniversary book 😂. Jog on you fucking prick (although Waggotts reply to that did make me laugh)

WBA Away it is

😂

Nar its probably bullshit but yeah, you're right, gets it out of the way at least. Reckon we'd be in for a proper pasting though.

Twitter rumour that we are away at Southampton on the opening day. Would be a horrendous opener.

Plymouth, who were relegated, didn't even want him. They literally gave him to us.

PNE have local lads "The Spud Brothers" as their sponsor. Their logo looks abysmal on their shirts.

This bloke has been borderline unsackable for years, so this is quite a surprise. This seems like the most plausible reason as to why he stuck around for so long, when managers and assistants came and went.

Jake Batty is in the latest training photos (as spotted by Elliott Jackson), maybe he's signing up to a new contract

Boro have appointed Rob Edwards as Head Coach for the new season. Seems to be a fairly mixed reaction from the Boro fans that I've seen on Social media. https://www.mfc.co.uk/news/2025/june/24/rob-edwards-appointed-head-coach/

The article literally says it's to cover costs between April and June:

Great video that.

Also, forgot that Connor O'Riordan was back at the club now. Any hope? Or nah?

Not really, we've still got 7. Forshaw will play, he'll be subbed on when we have the lead to help "see games out", he'll probably start a few as well. Of course Montgomery will play, Gestede is on record as saying we need to get back to putting Academy players on the pitch. Edit: Just to be clear, I'd happily sign another (always good to have more quality) but we'd have to shift out a few to accommodate.

Any players worth taking, should it happen?

I wouldn't consider them all to be first team players but as it stands you'll have Travis, Tronstad, Tavares, Montgomery and Forshaw all classed as 1st team players by the club, and the extra one you wanted to sign gives you 6. By Centre mid, I mean players who will play as one of the two, in a 4-2-3-1 formation which we usually play. Of course, Ismael might try and adopt a different formation for the coming season. Buckley & Garrett probably being moved on but currently they are part of the pre-season squad.

That would give us 8 centre mids, you just can't keep that many players happy for 2 places.

Travs replacement, you would think.

This kid has been injured forever, would be a crazy risk to take him on, even on loan.

You can see why the club want to appoint him.
