There are complications for local papers, which are in structural decline with increasingly stretched owners, to cover a story like this - not least the legal implications and the possibility of action is they get anything wrong. That's my guess - it's all too difficult

Sorba Thomas - remember him? - playing well for Wales against Belgium tonight Just signed a contract at Stoke

Dolan to leave so Hedges to start. Money in (maybe) and none spent. Bingo! The Venky's model

Oh dear Chaddy, got it all wrong again by backing Ange Becoming a bit of a habit don't you think? The mystery is why you're bothered about a very unlikeable North London club

Reform and Brexit voter. Why do they go abroad where they know there's even more more furreiners than at home?

I expect Brittain to leave with Montgomery taking his place. The lad looks capable enough. Low earner replaces high earner and a possible fee for Brittain too. It's almost inevitable

That team would go only one way - down to League One

As the saying goes, a stopped clock is right twice a day Nixon's scattergun approach means one or two of his fliers will hit the target but most of the time he's churning out clickbait to keep food on the table Best approach is not to treat his stories with a pinch of salt but a whole mine of the stuff

They’re direct quotes from him.

Dolan in the Times article on Friday refers to us several times as "Blackburn", not Rovers. He doesn't understand this club Sell

The cash shortfall probably partly explains the decision to shut the women's section The sales of Dolan and Brittain should just about cover the funding gap Either way it's clear there's little or no money to spend on players this summer In other words, nothing has changed

Agree with the above The shocking and unwelcome demise of the women's team shows the accountants are in charge at Ewood and that spending this summer will be minimal.

The referee clearly made a mistake over the Villa "goal", but making a formal complaint reflects badly on Villa and shows a lack of class. Rather like their obnoxious fans

Biggest disappointment of the day was Forest's failure to beat Chelsea. Forest have had a wonderful season and no one likes Chelsea. Spuds revert to type after their lucky Europa win - the manager will be gone soon. No one likes them either. Glad it's all over. Monotonous, ;pointless league enlivened this season only by Forest's unexpected success.

No interest whatsoever. I watched tonight’s game out of curiosity with 2 English clubs involved but it was even worse than I expected. That’s it for with football for me. Our local cricket club needs help and that’s where I’ll be for the next few months until Rovers kick off another season of dashed hopes and ultimate disappointment

Rubbish game, rubbish goal, rubbish result. Two clubs it’s difficult to like but I’d rather a dislikeable northern club beat a dislikeable southern one. The football season drags on and on, it’s far too long. Time for cricket.

Horrible, short-sighted decision and a sign of the penny pinching things to come this summer with regards to transfer dealings for the men's squad

Purple Rain - Prince

Go back to the old European Cup, European Cup-winners Cup and Uefa Cup All 3 of them prestigious knockout competitions with no leagues Won't happen of course because TV money needs more games and TV money talks

Disappointing to see Forest lose form and fall away in the final games. They've had an excellent season and I'd dearly love them to make the CL instead of Chelsea and Villa, particularly Chelsea. Nobody likes them. Three "big" northern clubs going up is good will make the PL better balanced next season. Shame none of the London clubs are going down. There's too many in the top flight. Target for next season any of the London clubs and/or Bournemouth, Brighton for relegation - to be replaced by more north of England clubs of course

Of course he’s slowing down. He’s 33, it’s only natural and to be expected of a player that age. It’s not criticism of him, just the reality. If you’d played the game you’d know this. I’d keep him but only as a substitute with the occasional start.

Righty-ho It is my humble opinion that Brittain has had an outstanding season and should be in the top 3 if not the winner Apologies if this does not chime with yours

Brittain not even in the top 3 - something wrong surely? Congrats to Tronstad though - lynchpin of the team. Simon will be pleased

The idea is for another season-long loan at Rovers to sort himself out. Why would a “journeyman” (according to the experts) get a contract in Saudi?

He's not going to get a game at Forest. We've given him a chance to save his career. He has ability - I'd look to keep him but with the proviso he gets his head down and starts working
