Finally an excellent article, that was a good read.

Because that player might not improve the team or might even make the team worse ?

Because the player might cause resentment in the squad owing to his huge wages and probable showboating ?

Because the manager might not want the player and might resent having that player foisted on him ?

Because the money would be better spent on 2 or 3 younger and hungrier players who would actually make a difference to the team ?

These things are not difficult to work out.

You're still top of the pops on the board over the past 24 hours.

Keep up the good work.

And yet your man Sam was desperate to sign players like Salgado, Guti, Raul, Van Nistelrooy, for his own profile more than anything.

Can't have it both ways.

Oh come on. Surely when you read that back you'll know how ridiculous it sounds?

Not really. The man couldn't go five seconds without reminding us who he signed for Bolton.

Don't forget that he took credit for wins and blamed the players for defeats. His head was wider than his shoulders, but never bigger than his gob.

Free Venkyburgers and chips for a year for Mr Amar Singh!

Still if it pleases the ones who believe only what they want to believe then I suppose it's OK.

That's as ridiculous as anything that Jim has written.

Only I think Jim is half doing it to wind people up, yet you seem to be being quite serious.

I guess this fits here the best: Why Blackburn Rovers must act quick on finances.

Critical issue for us.

I agree entirely, we must keep him at all costs!

With all these new contracts/deals surely our wage bill will be looking pretty horrendous soon?

That is one of my fears, BUT remember there have been some out-goings.

I presume we will have paid up Chimbonda's contract and therefore will not be a saving.

Would help if we could win a few games. 2 wins against WBA probably the worst team in the EPL. Tottenham, Wigan, Newcastle and Villa these are BIG games for Rovers. While I understand people are happy that we are playing a different style of football we are playing but are we capable of winning any games?

Still a long way to go in this season and no doubt there will be many twists and turns. Lets hope most of them are positive for the club.

Doesn't make sense! We have won - against West Brom as you state - and then ask are we capable of winning any games? The answer is blatantly yes.

WBA are definitely NOT the worst club in the league.
