Phillips has got Oxford written all over him this upcoming season. 

As for Finneran, if he goes to the oil boys at 15/16 I’d say it’s odds against he even plays a Premier League game for them ever. Will be loaned out every year, then eventually settle in to a Championship team (if he ends up good enough for that even). See Harwood-Bellis, Ethan Ampadu etc.

Adam Wharton is one of the reasons for the academy.

Ok, but Wharton is an exception as he is a Rovers fan and obviously happy to develop at his boyhood club. No doubt would have been happy to stay at the club longer also as he didn't push for a move.

Other players like Finneran don't have the same allegiance and for them it's more a question of knowing your chances of first team football are better here, or take the money and move to a bigger club where your chances will be limited.

If you've been at a club since you were 8 and aren't a fan you're a cold blooded individual.

Fair enough, just frustrated that it looks like he may be moving on. There were rumors Tyjon may be happy to stay, certainly hope so.

It's just that clubs like Rovers are vulnerable until they sign pro deals. Luckily Atcheson has signed his pro deal so we do have some protection with him at least

Nope hope he gets booed on his return to Ewood same with Finnernon they both have a debt to repay  

Expand  

Not have their legs broke or is that just our own players?

Can understand a negative reception but equally they cant be expected to just stay loyal just as we wouldnt to players who arent up to it. Its a short career and players do whatever they think is best. Whether its the correct call is a different matter.

Finneran can only sign a scholar contract. So Newcastle can not pay above a certain amount. This ruling makes it equal across the board for all sides. They can not offer any incentives either like houses,Jobs, they will be under embargo if they do as these things are audited regular.

If that’s that’s the case (and I’ve no reason to believe your wrong on this) what did a Broughton mean by ‘life changing offer’? (Quote is from LT in April):

This is where everyone sticking together and forcing them to drive their prices down, is the only way forward.

Sadly, some people will accept it and renew, come what may. Without wanting to have a real go, the poor people who have 2-3 kids, who have followed Rovers all of their lives, but are now priced out, are the ones that suffer.

Expand  

Its all down to your personal circumstances and what is best for you. I think its value for money and I can make every game. I prefer being inside Ewood Park then watching at home on TV. I think the price is excellent at just over £15 per game

Rovers have made it excellent prices for under 18's which is massive plus and getting more under 18's inside the stadium can only be good thing. 

No one who has renewed should feel guilty either

I think there’s a lot of work to be done on making attending games more attractive. Watching on TV is definitely an inferior experience, but every game at Ewood needs to be treated like a major event to get people off their sofa and in to the stands, particularly with the new TV deal.

Expand  

1000% agree

There is obviously a way to go, but the pricing has certainly taken a move in the right direction, particularly with the focus on affordability for younger fans. This will offset some of the attrition that will undoubtedly occur, particularly in terms of numbers. They could halve the price of all tickets across the board and we’d still get nowhere near to selling out Ewood - people have plenty of reasons they wouldn’t buy them including all of the ones you’ve stated above and more. I expect a higher number of new season ticket holders than normal this year though, along with a decrease in renewals.

Expand  

I agree with your points and I totally agree on getting younger fans involved and regular attending games at Ewood Park, Get them hook early.

The point wasnt about those players. It was about the fact that they become daily criticisms now you are happy to criticise those as they no longer work for the club. 

Expand  

What I have used is facts and nothing more to judge their time here and I will continue to do so. I give every player or head coach or DoF a proper fair chance and judge them on their performances.

I know on here we’re biased being Rovers fans, but I think we’re a top 10 team in English football when it comes to youth development and youth players being given an opportunity to showcase their talents.

If Finneran has gone, good luck to him. But I can’t help feel another 18 months here would have given him a chance to play first team football and grow in an environment without unrealistic expectations. I felt the same about Phillips, always feels like he left a year too soon.

Rovers won’t stand in your way if it’s good for you (and them) always have done and no doubt always will.

Now that would be a good signing… scrub that, I don’t know anything about him as I was thinking about Jason Knight who went to Bristol from Derby,
