Ferguson Hands in Transfer Request

[Bazzathegreat]

This is pathetic on rovers behalf whats the point osf sealing someone 1 hour before the deadline when theres no chance of using the money, and another point its only 500,000 more than they bid 2cnd time around, why is there no replacements, whats goin on

[brfcshabba]

1 hour, 5 million pounds. Feels like a reality show!

Or Colleen's shopping trip

[AlanK]

Bad day. Lost a quality player ( or at least the best of a bad bunch ).

No inspiring signings

The gates will just get lower

[roversmum]

Very disappointed.

Disappointed in Barry.

Disappointed that we haven't signed a new striker - yet

Disappointed.

[JAL]

£4.5M POSSIBLY THATS POSSIBLY RISING TO £5M if thats true with no quality incoming striker thats potential disaster .....not good news at all for Rovers .

Completely gutted !

[RovertheHill]

Nice doing business with you. 

Not surpised you think that. Tugay was the only decent player we've had off you - frankly you've taken us for quite a few million, what with Ferguson and Amoruso. Still, you can be happy that you have a skipper back who can lead by example and show real moral fibre and courage when the going gets tough... doh!

[millionpints]

Thank the Lord that's over.

And I can go back to thoroughly disliking the wee ned again.

[trueblue]

Have we no sense of shame at being ripped off by a bunch of Jocks.

why should we have any shame? Ferguson and Viola have done a good job of ripping every other bugger off they've come into contact with

[Scotty]

So, our captain has moved back to the comfort zone. No £8.5m fee, not even a £6m fee, no - a maximum of £5m. No lawsuits against Viola, Murray or Ferguson, no sacking of Ferguson's agent, no John Williams sticking to his guns. Looks like he blinked after all.

Only one person to blame for all this - Barry Ferguson. He got his agent to engineer the move, he forced the Rovers into a corner by handing in a transfer request, he pathetically let his agent say that his family weren't settled, he's f***ed off halfway through a relegation battle, he's got what he wanted all along.

Well, perhaps there's someone else to blame. The fee shows how ridiculous overpriced Ferguson was when Souness bought him.

I get no pleasure from seeing Ferguson go. I didn't rate him as highly as some, but I was looking forward to seeing him partner Savage in our midfield. However, as soon as our soft ex-captain put in a transfer request the club were left with no option but to sell him. You simply can't have a highly-paid player in the club if he doesn't want to play for you.

I'm not sure I've ever felt so much contempt for a Rovers player before. Barry Fergsuon is simply a spineless, selfish, manipulative failure. Good riddance.

Spot on!

Anyone else got a blackburn shirt with Ferguson on the back? What the hell am I going to do with that...?!

And that's what most people in the English Premier League who have seen Ferguson play in this league as, especially Rovers fans.

Majorly dissapointed with Ferguson but I'm glad he's gone.

He doesn't want to stick around and prove the critics that he'll get that he couldn't make it in English football.

[jim mk2]

So, Williams the tough negotiator capitulated and took the measly money on offer. What happened to the £6 million, John ?

Poor bloody show that has left us out of pocket to the tune of £2 million with no time to sign a replacement or a new striker with the little cash we have gleaned from the deal.

Williams out.

So then my freind what is Robbie Savage if not the same as Fergie?

[Al]

Very disappointed.

Disappointed.

Disappointed? No Furious. We have sold our only class player at a discount and signed nothing. We were struggling before, now relegation is a real prospect. (with money in our pockets that should be on the pitch).

Defeat to the Dingles is a real possibility.

I am utterly disgusted with the bunch of amateurs who purport to be our board.

[BRFC4EVA]

I hate Rangers, Bazza and the transfer window at the moment. No time to get a striker with the money.

[mode_m]

But if we owed Rangers 2.5 million pounds is that exed now as well as we get 5 mill? Or am I being absurd?

[Scotty]

I admit there are some parallels, but at least Birmingham made a healthy profit on the player. In addition, Savage didn't drop down to a lower-level having failed to prove himself in the Premiership.

[BRFC4EVA]

We get 2m cash + 500k later. Added to that we dont owe them the 2.5m anymorw. Ie we been taken to the cleaners by a bunch of mickey mouse scotsmen.

[den]

We are left with three central midfielders. Tugay Flitty and Savage.

How many prem clubs have just THREE C.M's?

You can throw bodies at that position, but the rest are not good enough to play there.

Absolutely demoralised.

For this to happen i assume JW has the consent of hughes and he must have a plan! Otherwise he would have stuck to the price! Thinking logically (not always a strong point on here or in rovers board room) hughes and rovers must have a backup plan and a way out of this very very very flat day!

Thank god for the FA cup thats all i can say!

[den]

Plan - what bloody plan?
