I’m amazed we sold this many given the clown show at Ewood. They are extremely fortunate Ismael picked up some results towards the end of the season as that roped a lot back in including myself.

I’d be amazed if the Venky’s even know names of any players or any result week to week. They have shown no interest in Rovers for years now and their motivation remains a mystery.

We have gambled massively so far on signings. Other than McLouglin nobody has a clue if these mystery lads are going the way of Tronstad or Telalovic. At this point you have to expect it’s a weaker side than last season. Attacking wise especially, Dolan and Weimenn were major goal contributors and have yet to be replaced.

It’s the fact that people who went can’t or won’t talk about it until the minutes finally come out that annoys me. Us fans are starved of communication from the club and this is the only real route we have to hear what’s going on. So just tell us instead of all this gentlemen’s agreement bollocks whilst another 4 weeks go by of hush hush I know stuff but can’t tell you.

I wonder if they have put the blame on Waggot for the contract issues hence his hasty departure.

These meetings feel far too secretive from my perspective and it comes across like club censorship and a lack of transparency. If the club are happy to drag this out every time then I don’t see why the agreement for those that attend not to comment beforehand is torn up.

Any news on when the meeting notes will be available?

Really expected some loans and frees lined up once the window opened but not a peep on anything of the sort.

Ismael seems a lot more fiery than Eustace or JDT and they eventually lost it with the club. I can see him having a full meltdown pre-xmas slating Pasha and Rudy as to why we are down the bottom, fielding 16yr olds as we have no squad depth and having protests at the ground.

Be interesting to see the agent fees for these 3 cheap foreign signings, we have been here before...

100% Ismael won’t be here at the end of next season.

Another few quid saved, its like a competition to see how few staff a club needs to operate.

I would have thought Dolan would keep his options open at least until he finds a new club. Seems odd to close his rovers career out before he has found anything better.

What an exciting summer its been so far Rudy and Pasha... 3 random foreigners in for peanuts with no experience or pedigree on low wages 5 first team championship experienced starters out plus all loanees saving a fortune in wages. No contracts sorted for any of our 1st team Sacked the CEO and made a load of backroom staff redundant Sacked off the women's team You are doing a fantastic job keep up the good work! Pretty soon we will have a cost budget to compete with Chorley FC and you can bask in the praise from our chicken overlords.

I don’t blame Brittain for going he can earn a load more money elsewhere, we would all do the same. If the club wasn’t a total circus he would have been tied down and the club looking at large profit. This only ends one way if the plan is to live within our means with little or no investment from our owners. If we are lucky it’s league 1 but could easily end up league 2.
