Even if there would have been such negative fan reaction, which is nonsense. You don't run a football club like that, and they dont otherwise appointing Owen Coyle would never have crossed their mind. The key is to reinvest that money, we could have been so much better off with a big chunk of £12m+ reinvested rather than the alternative of 6 months of a disinterested Rothwell and a year of Brereton.

 

so you still think we should have sold BBD then?

We wouldn't have got any cash, instead of Venky's injecting £20m they would have done £8m instead. You'd have just had a few less players.

A normal club you'd be correct, with usit doesn't matter, logic goes out the window.

If you look at Brentford, so long as they made a profit each player was sold once an offer was made and cash reinvested and I hope this is what we start happening. We used to do this all the time under the trust but the comments used to be why are we selling and not keeping the player etc.

If we are taking it as a given that logic has gone out of the window then we will never compare to a club like Brentford who are very logical with each decision.

Fans will always be unhappy when their favourite players leave, it is irrelevant though to those making decisions.

Yes.

[Dreams of 1995]

It is really easy to say with hindsight. We were second in the table 

On the 29th January 2022 Rovers were 2nd in the table. We were 3pts from 1st, 10 pts clear of 7th. And you have lads on here banging on about how they would have definitely sold the 2nd leading goal scorer in the league and our highest goal scorer 

Oh and our best starting central midfielder too 

Whatever man. You aren’t fooling everybody. They trusted the wrong man, Mowbray, with a gamble and he didn’t pay them back. No wonder he didn’t get a new contract offered.

People who are looking at this realistically, without always wanting to be right, would admit that decision would have been incredibly difficult to make

Has anyone suggested that Brereton should have been sold in January?

Rothwell should have, the manager at the time wanted to, if the owners don't trust the manager then replace him, don't start interfering.

[Upside Down]

Let it go for fuck sake.

If not paid by tomorrow 3pm.... Will they even bother trying against the dingles?

Industrial action is required I reckon. 

Turn up then sit in the centre circle for the whole match.

Looking at todays fixtures, I cannot see any other club in the top 10 dropping points. Will be a bonus if any do.

Don’t Sheffield United play Luton?

[superniko]

If you feel that way inclined it’s about 33/1 for Watford, WBA, Coventry, Millwall and Boro to all win. About 3% chance of happening, showing lots of rivals will drop plenty of points, especially away from home. 
(Ignoring the fact Sheffield United play Luton)

Thanks for asking the question. It was difficult decision but I still think we were right to reject those offers

never predict football results at the minute at this level of football

[Mattyblue]

It’s the Championship, nowt between the non-parachute clubs, so any of them can unexpectedly drop points at any time.

[BigBar]

Scores not going the way we would like. Millwall and Luton winning away from home, Boro drawing after going one down. West Brom winning too.

Yep, turned around horribly but still time for it to improve, can’t really get any worse

His agent won’t be too bothered. His percentage will already be banked.

[rovers11]

Not a good weekend for us with our result yesterday and results not going our way today.

The Reading game is massive for us on Wednesday. I hope we don't go on a losing run now after we've got ourselves into a good position.

Oh it got worse 

[BankEnd Rover]

Watford loosing & cov not winning are slight positives but the result haven’t gone our way.

MUST win game on Wednesday.

Well Coventry got an equaliser but other than that it stayed as was, really disappointing that neither Reading or Sheffield could get an equaliser. Going to be a real struggle if we don’t win on Wenesday, absolutely massive match. Reading are strong at home until we want a favour, Sheffield mid-week and Millwall today and awful away, Boro last weekend. If they could pick a team to play to reverse the away form, who would that be 🙈🙈

[West Yorks Rover]

Norwich will probably win at home against Sunderland tomorrow and they'll go above us too.

[Hasta]

Every team in the play off hunt seems to have fairly easy fixtures both midweek and next weekend. We could win against Reading and still be 7th come the internal break.

[neophox]

Sheff U lost at home to Luton...seems alot of teams could be fighting out for second place.

[arbitro]

It's the Championship - there are twists and turns every week. Subconsciously I'm trying to ignore results, form etc of other clubs as it what we do that matters. As ever the next game is the most important and hopefully Tomasson comes up with a plan to beat Reading. I saw some updates of their game against Millwall today on Soccer Saturday and the reporter spoke several times about their physicality with Carroll in particular playing right on the edge. We have to match that.
