Some rumours on twitter that we were trying hard for Luke Freeman, but that it has fallen through as Sheffield couldn't finalize a deal for his replacement. 

Would add up as we know Tony likes to stick with a target when he identifies one. 

Yeah, that's what I was saying yesterday. Seems Forest are after him now though. Freeman would be good indeed.

Hope so - he got Birmingham promoted in the 1994-95 season

Difference being, the Del Boy he is, he would’ve have drove a hard bargain, unlike ‘how much do you want’?, Mogga

Omggg that Mowbray interview the idiot...so did he sit down and say yes Brereton im willing to pay 7mill for him

I remember him getting Armstrong for a steal at £1.75. I'd say he's worth £7 million now.

Don’t need to prove myself to you, I most certainly have in the past.

Hopefully he can get the job done like Boris.

Comedy gold! If we all synchronise at 2300hrs and mentally kiss your feet will you reveal a name and bring back the classic 11o'clocker? ?

Seems all very Barry Fry circa 1994.

Again, Armstrong was a steal at £1.75 million. And plenty of clubs were after Gallagher and ready to match the price. If the lad keeps working like he does, and we are winning plenty,  I won't be critical.

Who said he wasn’t a steal?

He already has.

He got himself a well paid job and is hoping things work out.

What if Armstrong gets injured??.

Some were saying Tony is useless at negotiations. I thought we would've paid £3 million for Armstrong at the time. And Dack and Rothwell were signed for peanuts.

Tony said he was, today!

“I’m not a great negotiator, I like to be honest and tell people what I think things are worth. If I don’t want to do it, I’m not coming back with another price.

But that’s probably naïve”

“I’m not a great negotiator, I like to be honest and tell people what I think things are worth. If I don’t want to do it, I’m not coming back with another price.

“But that’s probably naïve, the world is all about ‘you’ve offered that but we know that you’ve got another two or three offers coming’.

This completely explains all past windows under Mowbray and why he will never, ever get us promoted. What a farce!

Im lost of word. My info earlier was not wrong, the deal between club was 100%, just an issue with the payments as explained. Now, in the last 2 hours, one other Championship-club has come in for the same player. The odd thing - its a bid and not for loan. Did not get specifics but was told that the bid was ridiculosy high. The club consider but rates him highly and would prefer loan.

This is just bad negotioans-tactics. The deal could have been done and officially annunced yesterday if Mowbray was a bit more cynical.

Haha, expecting at least one, pretty confident - possibly two. 
smallwood will go tomorrow with mulgrew unlikely to see rest of season here but don’t think he will move tomorrow

Like TM keeps saying I usually need to calm the owners down when they want to splash the cash .... 

The Recruiting department is still building so meanwhile we sit with a begging bowl and hope X or Y get knocked out of the FA cup ...

Elliot and Jones are young pups ! 
Here’s hoping jRC gets his long overdue chance .. 

 

 

 

Must be the only manager on the planet that turns down the opportunity to spend money...

What a joke. If he refuses to negotiate properly get someone in who can. No wonder we're so poor every transfer window.

Edit: Not to mention - why is Mowbray doing the negotiation, surely it's his job to choose targets and then a more business oriented person's place to negotiate further?

How unprofessional can we sound? A few comments to calm me down.

1) only add depth?!?!? Other than it being a u turn it's also stupid to do when on a limited budget rather than using what you have to improve. 

2) that said I think that translates into I won't get anyone good so I will move the goalposts (which happens a lot here). 

3) the response of integrity is to get the best deal for your employer's Blackburn Rovers in the transfer window 

4) why is he even doing it not someone higher up? Oh I give up - we are so unprofessional and a shambles. For those who say Venkys are doing it right or the current management is doing it properly this interview shows in so many ways that's a load of bull. We might not be the soap opera we were but it's still a circus at Ewood.
