Correct. I don't disagree BUT we all know from experience that it happens. Whispering campaigns, poor results, indisciplined attitudes etc... and it's always the manager that gets potted. Unless you can think of any other example in the last 50 years?

btw how many of those players actually supported 'the shirt' as kids? 1.5 imo.

[waggy]

It's not compulsory you know.

It's not a prerequisite for mere mortals to be allowed to post in other topics.

[T4E]

Painful up there is it?

[1864roverite]

well the last 4 games i saw him play,he did nothing but sulk,sooner he is gone the better

Blame the previous regime for all of our problems Waggy, until you accept that and get your rather large pigheadedness out of the way you might just come round.

We are all pulling together at last for this season, come and join in Waggy, you might find you actually enjoy it.

[BuckyRover]

WE NEED A RIGHT WINGER. WHY CAN'T HE SEE THIS??

HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN EXPERIENCED PREMIERSHIP MANAGER; I COULD EXCUSE INCE'S NAIVETY HE WAS INEXPERIENCED!

Too late. The p1sstakes would be too much for him to bear in that pub of his.................

................. Not to mention on here of course!

I notice that City are being linked with Bremen's Brazilian naughty boy striker Diego for £25m.

Possibly yet another tactic toi frighten Rovers into taking City's wholly inadequate and less than the headlines say current bid for RSC.

Perhaps, since they like selling all things Rovers, we should put them in charge of selling our club.

[philipl]

All gone very quiet hasn't it?

Either its all happening right now or nothing is happening.

according to Nicko we have agreed a price with city for Santa, but Rovers will not sell him untill we get a replacement in for him.

did he actually say we'd agreed a price or that we would agree a price if we could find a suitable replacement?

[philipl]

Nicko said this first thing this morning:

ROQUE - I don't believe the £19 million Man City bid mentioned in some papers is correct...it's just people putting new numbers on the story and justifying their faith in City's previously 'massive' offers. I think the offer is around £15 million with no strings attached.

So I truly hope the operative verb is "would"!

I think the Rovers are going to have serious trouble with the fans if Roque goes for less than City paid for De Jong.

[BuckyRover]

Can I confirm that I would be very disappointed if he went for less than 18m

[gazsimm]

did he actually say we'd agreed a price or that we would agree a price if we could find a suitable replacement?

he reckons 15million is the price yes and Rovers will be back on to them once they find a replacment for him.

Can I confirm that I would be very disappointed if he went for less than 18m

looks like you might be disappointed then

[BuckyRover]

I don't always take nicko's contacts as gospel because usually when I do, I get let down.

[rebelmswar]

"I'm counting the days down in the hope that there is not a phonecall saying one of my players may have to leave because the price you are getting is far too great to turn down.

"We will resist selling anyone if we can."

In terms of City and Santa Cruz he added: "It has been very quiet I'm glad to say, but that's not to say it won't resurrect itself.

"We don't have to sell anybody and that's still the case as far as the chairman and me is concerned.

"I'm just trying to keep the distractions of the transfer window away from the players and make sure there is nothing in their minds apart from winning a football match for Blackburn."

Does this sound like baiting Man City for a big offer?

SOCCER Blackburn Santa Cruz

SANTA CRUZ'S CITY SWITCH STILL ALIVE - FATHER

The father of Blackburn striker Roque Santa Cruz is still holding out hope that his son can complete a move to Manchester City.

Aproniano Santa Cruz claims his son will not give up hope on a switch to Eastlands while the transfer window remains open.

Blackburn have already knocked back one £15million bid for the striker and, although City have not returned with an improved offer, the player's father believes a move is still a possibility.

Blackburn have been linked with Racing Santander forward Nikola Zigic and Red Bull Salzburg's Marc Janko as a possible replacement for Santa Cruz.

And the player's father told Teledeportes.com.py: ``I think it is quite natural that the team search for a replacement.

``As long as the transfer window does not close, negotiations are still continuing.

``I have a feeling that it may be possible. The conditions are real and there are not many differences.

``In a negotiation, the money factor is always the most important.''

``According to the City coach (Mark Hughes), he will keep trying to sign him.''

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Sick and tired of this saga now

Like most I only care for the clubs well being and I dont want players in the blue 'n' white who dont want to be here,simple as.We all have a job to do getting this club out of the brown stuff and we ALL must be focused on that task and not listening to Cruz and his pops spout off.

[Guest Kamy100]

The Lancashire Telegraph understands that Sam is determined to keep hold of Roque and it will take of significantly more than £20 million for Rovers to even consider selling their prized assest.

[Bobby G]

All pointless if we dont have a replacement.

Also, I doubt we will sign or sell anyone now. Its too close down the line. We should have done our business earlier. Maybe our form discouraged the need to sign people, but that could be a lethal mistake.

[Majiball]

We may see the egpytian come in, but I don't think much else will come in.
