Jesus Christ, give the girl a break. Who knows what she's like? Having her character assassinated and reasons for being with her fella by a bunch of internet nobodies because of how she looks, pretty

There should be no excuses and no cliches imo. The window so far has been...underwhelming.  Do I think we’d go down with this squad? No? Is it better than the one which went down? Yes, I believe

Mahoney would have played as he is a winger and we ended up playing strikers on the wing for most games. Terrible decision to leave

Thanks. What would we do without you 

So four posts later, as I said, I hope we sign some natural wingers.

You're welcome.

And to take it back to the actual discussion, your assertion that 'Mahoney would have played' is not borne out by the fact he played strikers on the wing. He chose to play strikers on the wing, even when he had wingers to choose from (Chapman, Conway. Mahoney last season). Your assertion was not correct based on the evidence.

Try to keep up.

Anyone else heard any rumours of Arab investment in the summer? Not a club sale but the V's getting some financial help off some friends?

Expand  

I would imagine it is just rumours as they have never seemed keen on external investment previously. Where have you seen this info

Always thought they might be running money through the club for someone else anyway B)

Seriously though i'm not sure if that would be a good thing or bad thing now things have finally got on a more even keel. Anything like this will involve another agent or super agent or two and we know what follows all that.

Money's only any good if it's used properly !

Tony Mowbray on the importance of his trip to India and conversations with #Rovers owners Venky's https://t.co/EnRLXEtHiD

You'd have thought that the " owners " would have turned up for the Oxford game and combined that with discussions regarding next season. If they've not been enthused by our promotion enough to come over when will they get enthused ?

If only the EFL had timed the final game to fit in with one of Venkys rigid quarterly board meetings. Maybe next time.

I don't think think we'll ever see our owners at Ewood again, and that's a good thing.

Agreed, they should stay away indefinitely. There's no benefit to them turning up, only potential negatives. Let Waggott and Mowbray be the public face of the club over here. That'll do me.

Ollie McBurnie has bagged his 9th for a poor Barnsley side this season. He'd be perfect to support/cover Graham up top next season if we can get him on loan.

Expand  

Is he the lad with the Steve Claridge socks? No thanks if so we’ll have none of that

I'd be wary of looking at too many League 1 players for next season. I think it was Den who used to say something like "buy Championship players, get Championship football", and if we buy too many L1 players we'll end up back there for the 19/20 season. There are definitely some gems in the lower leagues, but if they're older than 24/25 there's going to be a reason they're playing there. I suppose a lot depends on our budget, but I'll be uneasy if too many L1 players are on our radar.

Yep. That's why I continue to endorse the signing of McBurnie, a proven goalscorer at that level.

Blackburn. Mowbray going to India for budget talks. Some close to Venkys say there might not be much cash around. #bitinpaper

Expand  

Not jumping the gun or owt but I hope we don’t come up, spend @#/? all, sell Dack in January, Mowbray walks then back down we go.

It’s the hope that kills you isn’t it genuinely thought we’d see a bit of investment. Gonna be horrible this summer.
