Raul

[roverssex]

Why would Schalke deny the move, only for it to go through, and anger their own fans? Get real everyone.

#Lunacy

Like clubs never anger their own fans?

I agree, however Makey does post good information. So I am split.

Hopefully Makey can find out and elaborate on exactly what is/has happened, at the moment all the scenarios I can think of make little to no sense.

Nothing to see here folks. There never was.

Had we been a top 10 club (say, like this time last year), and had a manager well respected by numerous footballing greats who'd played under him (say, like this time last year), it might have been a more viable option.

I'll tell you now - I wouldn't have renewed my season ticket if said well respected manager was still in charge.

At the end of the day I go to Ewood Park to be entertained.

@JasonRoberts30 can't believe raul has turned rovers down pal , heard it was because he didn't want to chase your first touch x

Sorry, but that made me laugh

Isn't Schalke owned by the fans anyway? Therefore meaning that people with majority stakes will have agreed to the sale of Raul but then to deny it... thus creating a bidding war and benefiting them??

thats so good i've posted it on facebook

1 win in our last 8 at Ewood. I don't consider that remotely entertaining.

Watching Raul play for Allardyce would have been the death of football.

I agree. Jay-Jay Okocha all over again.

Indeed, with more goals we could have finished higher up the table, that would have been painful...

[braddock]

I agree. Jay-Jay Okocha all over again.

At least say Anelka.

[Stuart]

At least say Anelka.

Either. Raul's probably in between the two in terms of flair.

so youre saying he'dve come and played for, sam.. just come out and say it!

more to this than the manager.

it wouldve been like watching a dog chasing a frizbee!

And still some stubborn folks refuse to admit they were wrong.

How's the entertainment now? Enjoying going from winning the majority of games at Ewood to losing them? Enjoying the atmosphere round Ewood at the moment?

I honestly couldn't give a toss if a know nothing like yourself wouldn't have renewed. I'm sure if you'll compare this season's attendances to Sam's attendances they'll show you to be in a minority.

[Ossydave]

The Raul story wasn't leaked by Venkys and by all accounts they wanted to keep it quiet. Some people saying its not dead either. The Sav/JRob banter on twitter is the only good thing to come out of it so far though.

[tony gale's mic]

Yeah, Bolton fans hated seeing all those legends propel them up the table.

And they sure hated playing for Sam, which is why more and more of them came.

WRONG THREAD, THIS IS ABOUT RAUL

There is definitely more to this than the manager. But it's all part of the same depressing picture.

Surely you see it's somewhat ironic that we go after a legend after firing the very man who's attracted more players of Raul's ilk to clubs of our ilk than anyone in recent memory.

WRONG THREAD, THIS IS ABOUT RAUL

I made a post about Raul (whilst briefly mentioning the old manager at the end), but Exiled Rover and braddock responded with posts purely about the old manager. However they were so catastrophically idiotic that I couldn't really let them go.

Funny you quote me and not them, just because they agree with your nonsensical opinions on the game..

You're clearly wound up like the proverbial clock once again.

Your post was the last one on the thread, talking about Allardyce and attendances, WRONG THREAD TGM, if the rest are on the same track then they’re on the wrong thread also.

Sod off to the Allardyce thread if you want to talk about him, it’s not rocket science.

[mhead]

The issue is that Raul coming to Blackburn is difficult to believe....from his point of view.

Now if he goes instead to Wigan,Stoke or Bolton then you all have a point.

BUT not until.

If it gets this sort of reaction from you I'll do it more often...

Here we go again. TGM climbs upon the boredom express in his one man crusade to drive 100 board members to self-harm with his endlessly repetitive pro-Sam tirades. Give it a rest FFS - we all get it, you loved Allardyce. Move on.

[promoted2001]

Apparently not interested... NEXT!

[John]

Surely we would know from Salgado whether Raul would want to join?

Last summer, Salgado teed up Raul and Guit, and it could have happened, however JW knocked it back.

[alexanders]

We Will deffo know on thursday whether he has travelled with schalke to Helsinki or not.
