Clearly Venkys, Pasha and Senior arent telling Coyle the budget or didnt rate his players choices. 

No clear plan of who we should be targeting this window. 

If Venkys havent sold the club by the summer then we need a clear budget and plan. 

Chaddy I don't want to keep picking holes in the things you say as you clearly have Rovers at heart, but please, the only budget the V's have for us is £0.000000 and the only targets are loans.

Till the V's and co rocked up, I always looked on Rovers with blue & white eye, but over the last 6 years I have learnt to distrust everything that comes out the club.

Very sad times.

Wednesday season ticket holder in the family says Joao is a world beater on his day, but he's never had that day at Wednesday.

Body language is shocking and he's lazy, sounds right up our street.

Christ. Sounds like we've signed the cut-price Leon Best!

[roverstdt]

I miss the days of John Williams so god dam much. Reliability, trust, honesty. Sometimes we wouldn't have a sensational window, but always pull a rabbit out of the bag with the likes of Samba, Santa Cruz, Benni (My Favourite recent striker), Pedersen, and so forth.

Senior said in his smarmy interview that the owners would provide cash for signings if the right players were available.

I can only take that to mean he lied.

Unless in a month there wasn't a single player in all of world football that could have improved this squad even slightly to get us out of this relegation fight that might have been available.

Or he was lied to aswell as Coyle. 

 

[tomphil]

After the Lambert farce everyone in football knows these lot lie not least Coyle and Senior. Those who get into bed with them are fully prepared for the way they work and can have no complaints whatsoever.

Be careful what bull you swallow from Nixon in regards to Coyle.

Best post of the thread, at last something to raise a laugh

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

So did we Eff up Effy?  Not seen any announcement.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Plus surely we can terminate Stokes contract on the back of a 2 yr suspended sentence?

[J*B]

Just a quick thought. If you have bought a ticket any of the games over January, you have spent more than Rovers have on players in the same period - despite Rovers being in the bottom 3 and playing to fight off relegation to League 1.

Add value to the squad, they are on loan you cretin. 

[donnermeat]

'Our football club'....our??

Can @#/? right off with that.

[tomphil]

So we don't need players to compliment what we've got to fight a relegation battle we just need to bring in cheap crap that might be worth a bob or two next year. This is just another clueless lying chunt here to do a bit of self serving for himself and his pals. First thing he does is sign a striker from Sheff Weds, old pals acts again.

Not one of them has a @#/? clue what they are doing nor anything other than their own agendas.

They truly believe the fans are thick. 

 

[chaddyrovers]

We should have sign a championship right back

We should have gone for Eric Lichij from Forest..experience..knows the league..

Makes far too sense doesnt it

[G Somerset Rover]

I'm shocked at how much bull @#/? one man can come out with in 9 minutes. Another one that you'd love to see misfortune come to one day.

Last clip of this sounds like Coyle is pssssd of by admitting we've not been allowed to strengthen in the areas - https://audioboom.com/posts/5561403-blackburn-manager-owen-coyle-on-rovers-late-defeat-by-leeds?t=0

Senior just comes across as a bullshitter -

Value is used x amount. 

Sheffield Wednesday 14 players 1 transfer fee quoted 3 times.

An A and a B list incase of relegation for next years players.

[JHRover]

I'll have to go and do a bit of research tomorrow as to precisely what his role was at Sheffield Wednesday. He's already claimed to have been their Director of Football and claimed responsibility for assembling the squad that took them to the play-off final last year, now he's claiming to have signed 14 of their players and only one cost a transfer fee.

Last time I checked he was one of several 'advisers' working at Sheffield Wednesday because their new owner had the sense to surround himself with people who knew the industry but Senior was swiftly released from that job for reasons undisclosed.

He's now talking about restructuring in the summer and it being a 'big summer' for the club. Similar things to what Lambert was preaching last season. Always the never never with these lot, then when the time comes for action and the chequebook needs to come out the drawer things go quiet and people lose their jobs and are replaced with another set of people who can talk the talk and who only want to look to the future.

 

Only restructuring this summer will be offloading the Grahams, Conways, Lowes and Evans and replacing with 5k a week cheaper versions.

04/16		Jérémy Helan	MF	Wolverhampton Wanderers
02/16		Aiden McGeady	MF	Everton FC
01/16		Joe Bennett	DF	Aston Villa
01/16		Caolan Lavery	FW	Portsmouth FC
10/15		Gary Hooper	FW	Norwich City
08/15		Barry Bannan	MF	Crystal Palace
08/15		Fernando Forestieri	FW	Watford FC
08/15		Daniel Pudil	DF	Watford FC
08/15		Michael Turner	DF	Norwich City
08/15		Modou Sougou	FW	Olympique Marseille
07/15		Álex López	MF	Celta Vigo
07/15		Marco Matias	FW	CD Nacional
07/15		Jack Hunt	DF	Crystal Palace
07/15		Darryl Lachman	DF	FC Twente
07/15		Lucas	FW	CD Nacional
07/15		Vincent Sasso	DF	Sporting Braga

 

Most players cost a fee on that list even the loanees.

[tomphil]

Clues in the little words dropped inbetween the big bullshit lines just like when he mentioned admin. Now relegation has been mentioned and A & B lists, we know it'll be D list if we stay up and E list if we go down.

Like a lot of us said on his appointment he's here soley for the next downgrade. As JH says in summer whether we stay up or go down all the players on over 5k will be jettisoned regardless of price tags. The value for money line is all down to low wages now as we know they won't pay a fee.

The clues are all there and mounting, he's here to keep us out of admin. Pointless as relegation is guaranteed next season if not this, Blackpool, Bolton model of two years ago is taking shape for all to see.

He wasn't DoF at Wednesday either. He was a recruitment advisor (Scout) along with Jonathan Hill, Mark Cooper, Glenn Roeder, there remit was;

Quote

Former Sheffield Wednesday advisor Paul Senior has taken on a role at Blackburn Rovers after leaving Hillsborough earlier this year, according to the Sun.

Senior's Linkedin profile claims he was the Owls' "designated 'Trader' with responsibility for signing and releasing players, brokering loans (and) contract negotiations", and adds that he signed "15 new players, loaned 4 and kept spending to budget allocated", during his year in the Steel City

Also Sheff Weds had a football agency "Doyen Sports" agent of Lucas Joao involved with assisting the club as advisors too.
