Just had an Ipswich fan laughing at the Fowlup news. That and selling Brad. In just 2 weeks Ince has shown has lost all credibility.

Well, I had most of my office laughing about it today. Felt like smacking a few in the face at one point.....

However, I am keeping the faith just, as we are still in the 'silly' season as they call it.

ROBBIE FOWLER ISN'T A BLACKBURN ROVERS PLAYER AT THE PRESENT MOMENT

Bloody hell, we haven't signed Fowler, all he is doing is training with us. Selling Brad? Are we? None of us know that. It takes a few newspaper stories and Ince has lost all credibility. God forbid we give the guy a chance. IF the stories are true i'll be just as gutted as everyone else, but they are not yet true.

You work in the kind of environment I would hate.

Today I had a laugh with colleges about the fact we are signing Robbie Fowler. High 5s and everything. Embrace.

id be delighted if pennant was bentley's replacement..

he has pace, can take on players, and has a decent cross on him..

Do you really think Ince would have had his mate give up a contract at Cardiff just for a trial?

Don't be daft. He'll be signing a contract soon enough, make no mistake.

[John]

The potential transfer is particularly surprising given the former England international failed to play for Cardiff after Dec 15 last season due to injury, missing the Welsh club's FA Cup final appearance against Portsmouth.

[bob fleming]

Don't be so smarmy sjsbrfc. There are about 7-10 thousand walk ons that the club has spent much time and money on attracting. You may hold Pick in some contempt but BRFC cannot afford to.

Why do you care? Aren't you one of them? Aren't you playing golf next season instead? If so get off the forum. If not try and pretend you adhere to what the initials BRFCS stand for. How many Rovers fans read this every day and have to read your 10 posts a day knocking the new manager?

This before a ball has even been kicked.

Thank God we've got nicko to keep things on an even keel I say.

Can I remind everyone that to date we've sold no one and signed no one. We've exactly the same squad as last season - who were deemed by many as not good enough.

I tell you what, try and give the internet a wide birth. All this desire to find out what's happening before the next man can drive you mad you know. Do you know what actually happened today? We've taken a player on a pre season tour to have a look at him. FACT.

Chances are he's no chance. Maybe he's realised this is his last ever chance? Either way, what have we lost?

Looks well when it takes a Villa fan to post the most sensible post of the day.

One and half hours to get up to date on this bl00dy thread.

It was like trawling through posts written by wailing schoolgirls, some posters can never be taken seriously again

Jeeeezus get a grip

Spot on.

In an ideal world:

Brad persuades Chowdrey to buy the club

And sacks Ince and the rest of the 4th division posse.

And we get a decent- not necessarily British- manager who actually has a clue what he's doing.

Alternatively, we come out of the shower to discover this has all been a dream and we actually appointed someone competent.

True, if there is one thing I have realised this summer, it is this!!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh my God Please tell me he is our new striking coach anything else is just MADNESS Does anyone think this is a good idea

I was the same as most this morning after going to sleep so excited about a fantastic signing - I was stunned.

Having had the day (or more so an hour or two) to reflect, the above sums it up perfectly. No need to discuss further til something definite happens.

[MancVillan]

But that was to sell him to Aston Villa and more specifically Martin O'Neill, who everyone, other than Villa fans, think is a little bit of a queer knob.

Judging by the posts I've seen today, you would love to have our manager at the helm. Quality manager, and it isn't just Villa fans that KNOW it. You sound like a Liverpool fan who thinks we should just cave in and give you our captain on the cheap. Other than that, see no reason why you would talk that way about Martin O'Neill.

As for Carson - stay well clear. As a season ticket holder, and someone who travels to the majority of the away games, I can honestley say that not only did he not win us any points last season, he probably cost us many. If we had a decent keeper in net last year we would have got 5th place without a problem imo. He's a Championship goalkeeper and that is being kind to the guy. People say that the England game knocked his confidence - what? For the whole season? The truth is he was never much good before that England game. He looked decent at Charlton because he was having shots kicked at him every 2 seconds - at Villa, he might go a game with only 2 shots kicked at him, but you could bet your life that he would let one in. You can do a lot, lot better. Martin O'Neill wouldn't even do business at £5m now. You're lucky though, it's rumoured that the two clubs interested in him are Stoke and WBA - sounds about right, unless your manager is on a one man mission to take you from a top 8 team to a bottom 3 team.

robbie fowler is just like any normal player going on trial to a club trying to prove himself...

im sure if he isnt at the standard ince wont sign him-unless its doing a mate a favour-maybe there could be a role for strikers coach...

[dannyboy1206]

I just cant keep quiet i am stunned this is a player the dingles should be trialing not us, apart from coaching i cant see why we are even thinking of taking him on

Why do I get the same picture about that (Fowler trying to coach Benni And Roque) as I used to get of Dean Saunders coaching Alan Shearer and Michael Owen???

I agree with what you say about O'Neill, I have always rated him as a manager and would like him at Rovers.

However "You sound like a Liverpool fan who thinks we should just cave in and give you our captain on the cheap" this on the day Villa make a £10m bid for Bentley - are you for real??

[Mozzer]

i was thining more younger strikers in our team..

any way theres no harm looking..hes coming on trial, doesnt mean we will definatly sign him..

Reported and denied by one of our directors. Plus there are no Villa fans out there saying you should sell for that amount of money. We haven't offered £10m. Not a chance.

Coaching the academy could be a stroke of genius. Coaching Benni mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
