It seems that the clubs preferred option is to keep players on the maximum of £10k per week for the duration of their contracts and forego any transfer monies, as opposed to offering them new & improved terms and getting them on a longer contract. As it stands right now, the club have failed to negotiate a new contract with Ryan Hedges, the most bang average of championship players. Presumably, they want to keep him on his current terms for as long as possible and only think about putting a new deal under his nose in 12 months time.

Twitter rumour (so take it for what it is) gathering pace that Dolan will sign for Derby, along with Weimann and Batth.

Ismael's only remit is the same as JDT'S in his second season. To stay in the championship and develop players. Ismael knows that, so unless he's secretly harbouring ambitions of a play off push, I can't see him walking away from "the project" and of course, the clowns running the circus won't sack him.

When does the squad go to Spain?

And "Bob"

Yeah. I'd have him back over either of our current keeprs tbh.

I'm not sure who gets any benefits of listening to a random Sunderland player, who's just been subbed, giving his opinion as to why Sunderland are 5-0 down at the Etihad after an hour. Players will be limited on what they can/can't say. Same goes for the any half time footage of the dressing room. Sky can't show Pep losing his shit when his team are 1 down and he's going ballistic at his players.

Morton puts in a superb cross for that 3rd 👌

OK, so looks like Derby are spending big and backing Eustace. As the tweet says, you can see why he left, Derby showing some actual ambition, whereas Rovers are the polar opposite.

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:
