Highly likely Blackburn - and probably East Lancashire - will be put back into tier 3 so no fans will be allowed in at Rovers unfortunately. There will be (another) big north south divide here with many southern teams who will be in tier 1 + 2 areas undoubtedly getting an advantage by being able to have some home fans in.

Is Gallagher the only major stick left to beat Mowbray with transfer-wise now?

How big is this guy for us and how much extra must his resale value be already. Absolutely central to how we play and the stability of the defence.

Why is the Greek kid not on the bench?

Anyone take Paul Cook?

Including his name lol

6th place lost 12 games last season and we've already lost three. With the pressure he's piling on himself, feels like shit or bust for TM this season.

Convicted of using horrible homophobic gestures whilst playing for us. No thanks and good riddance.

I know nothing you don't I'm sure but clearly the post-Coyle steadying of the ship has been a direct result of the influence of Mowbray on the entire club, including the owners. That's all fairly self-evident. Whether you think he's now taken us far as he can is up for debate.

And that's thanks to TM, like him or not.

The goalposts move again. Now one permanent signing "supplemented" by loans. Not one or the other.

Ayala was Boro's top earner so this can be taken as read I think

You can be assured what any of them say in public is vastly different to the conversations and actions going on behind the scenes

Ah yeah, found it cheers. Funny.

Are the Preston fans even aware of the bollock they've dropped here. Doesn't seem to be much chat on their message board. Bit about missing out on Arma.

He's clearly forgotten Luton around the same time last season

This isn't true. He refused to sign to an extension, as per Boro's local rag He was also their highest earner, so not sure what that says about what he's on here now.

At least Trav's injury has happened now so we've a chance to bring in cover for him

Experienced, ugly, nasty sod of a defender. Perfect.

No chance of this happening in BwD any time soon unfortunately with local lockdown restrictions still in place

He's having a laugh with some of those prices. £800 for a Lee Makel shirt!

There's the Brad Johnson we know and used to hate. Brilliant Savage-esque display from him so far.

No chance on Tosin, he is an imminent upgrade on both Otamendi and Stones imo. But I think Walton is a realistic target.

Poor take

FINALLY! Some serious, searching questions need asking and answering here. Do not waste this opportunity and do not stand for filibustering or flannel
