Ribble Rover Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Depends on what our final squad looks like Yep we still got that £20m to come that you were on about, Chaddy....

Well all the Bookies think there are three worst teams than us, that may change if Duffy and Marshall go.
Waggy76 Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 I doubt the bookies really know how poor our squad is !
Dunnfc Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 I doubt the bookies really know how poor our squad is ! It's dire. Worst squad i've seen since watching us in 96. Not as if we've a Sparky or Souey to get what they could out of the Toddy and Dickovs.
Hanks Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 What we would give for Toddy and Dickov now, I can't see us getting players of that quality in the foreseeable future.
Dunnfc Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 What we would give for Toddy and Dickov now, I can't see us getting players of that quality in the foreseeable future. Not just the quality... the mentality which is equally important. You don't win with just 11 superstars.
J*B Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Not just the quality... the mentality which is equally important. You don't win with just 11 superstars. The mentality is absolutely key and what we have missed for years now. I've championed getting some thugs in that can't handle losing for as long as I can remember. What id give for a Savage, Bellamy, Dickov, Todd, Nelsen. We've been so blessed in the past. Rest in Peace, The Bully Boys.

Big-chinned football politician. He'd have fit in well in FIFA. Or the EU.

McClarky Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 We do have a poor squad but whoever we sign we are certain to struggle with the state the club is in from top to bottom. You can't have the structure we have and expect to do anything but fail. It gets worse every year as things get worse on the pitch. When a club is struggling you want everyone to pull together, who s there left at Ewood to pull together? We have no board, no executives, a terrible choice as manager and a diminishing number of disgruntled fans. Certain relegation imo.
47er Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Depends on what our final squad looks like I agree----things will get worse if Duffy and Marshall are sold.

davulsukur Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Bowyer up to his old tricks of signing former youth players by snapping up Eddie Nolan on a freebie. My hometown club, York City, released him in January.

Backroom DE. Posted August 2, 2016 Backroom Posted August 2, 2016 Brighton signing Alex Pricthard for 8 mil pounds from Spurs Good to see another team not giving a @#/? about FFP.
rovers11 Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 A lot of dreadful teams in the championship this year and some dreadful owners. Don't like the look of the new owners at villa and wolves. Have a feeling they're going the same way as us. Forest and QPR are in crisis; Brentford and Huddersfield look weak; Rotherham, Burton and Barnsley look woeful on paper. I think Notts Forest will be a surprise relegation next season. I think we'll just stay up if Duffy/Marshall stay and Graham is fit for the majority of the season. If there isn't a change of ownership then I feel 2017/18 is the season we'll drop to lge 1.

Might as well call it BRFCexit like Brexit

Chairman is Steve Gibbs (Mboro esque) Dean Hoyle is a great example to follow. Care 100% about these clubs and town. We have some indians who treat our club like a corner shop they own. That sounds depressing. 1 more season to stay up, before the inevitable happens next season. Might as well call it BRFCexit like Brexit You know what to do. Remedy the poison no ST's. Protest and hope these shysters go with Cheston.

Had forgotten to factor in QPR. Disagree about Huddersfield btw, think they seem to know what they are doing. But you could easily add Leeds to the mix with their owners, as well, so plenty of competition at the bottom.
Steve Kean's Hypnotoad Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Plus looking at his previous clubs, Coyle seems to generally have a long enough honeymoon period to avoid his first season being a disaster. I expect we'll finish about where we did last season. If we have a bad start though I'll be worried because I don't think he's the type of manager who's capable of turning things round.
davulsukur Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Newcastle carry on splashing the cash with Ciaran Clarke expected to sign from Villa today for circa £5million Villa themselves spending big, having an £11million bid accepted for Ross McCormack. How are Newcastle shaping up to destroy the league this season: http://www.skysports.com/football/news/15125/10518237/what-will-newcastles-starting-xi-look-like-against-fulham 2/3 players pushing for a starting spot in each position. Our former captain not even expected to start in Skysports predicted lineup. Another £5m centre back/left back on the way. Also closing in on Diame from Hull (who look set to be relegated without a fight) Keepers: Darlow, Krul, Sels, Elliot Rb: Janmaat, Gamez LB: Dummett, Haidara CB: Lascelles, Hanley, Clarke, Mbemba Wingers: Ritchie, Thauvin, Aarons, Perez, Gouffran, Anita CM: Diame, Shelvey, Colback, Sissoko, Hayden ST: Gayle, Mitrovic, De Jong Plenty of players can play multiple positions, Hayden can play CB or DM, Clarke LB or CB etc. Pretty depressing stuff when you look at our squad.
chaddyrovers Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 McCormack off to Villa for 12-14 mil for him.. Will Jokanovic build his own side with the money? Norwich now set to sign Pritchard from Spurs not Brighton.
