when are the players back from holiday???,hopefully see some transfer action from then,though im`e not expecting much,most of the wharton money and the raya sell on will go back in the chicken slashers pockets

We have no director of football nor seemingly any scouting department. Throw in the usual Venkys delays and I suspect we will be waiting a while.

We could do with ballet dancers in the modern game, if the ball touches your head your not allowed to play on, they advise you not to head the ball. Bring back Bremner, Stiles and company. When footballers were men and football was a level playing field.

We absolutely won't be signing a goalkeeper. I think Pears recently signed a new deal and Leo wasn't cheap. 

We also don't have any money. 

Potentially we'll pick up another pensioner but expecting an outlay on a new number one is farcical.

For the current Rovers set up to spend 800k before add ons on a young keeper is a significant investment, a third of the TK fee in real terms.So i agree we are lumbered now with no chance of any decent keeper spend and just a wing and a prayer he gets his act together.

I suspect in the corridors of faux power at Ewood this was a big black mark against Broughton and not surprising really.

The first thing you've put there is the top priority to me, as I assume it is to you. And yet I heavily suspect we won't try to get a new number one keeper.

The rest...well, I think it's too much to pull off for a dysfunctional club constantly strangled by the owners, still undergoing wholesale changes to our recruitment and scouting department as you mention. Whatever people think of Broughton, we finally got on with contract renewals when he came in. Now it's back to the Waggott model, I expect us to fuck those up. Currently, I'm also still expecting us to go down next season, which has been my view since around March. Hopefully I'm wrong.

If we go into the season with Leo and Pears as our 2 keepers, we're in for another season of struggle.

We obviously have plenty of issues to address in the squad but a reliable No.1 has got to be the priority. 

Just look at the difference Kaminski made when you've had Walton, Steele and now Pears/Leo in net.

Ayari coming back would be a big no from me. He's a neat and tidy player but we need better quality than him if we're to avoid another struggle next season. I don't think we will want him back. 

I think he has aggression/intensity in him. Just need to be coached into becoming a two-way player.

Someone missed the joke, either that or just being deliberately obtuse (as per... )

Well, yeah, looks like we’re losing a young striker for a pittance and the apparent new Head of Tech still isn’t sure what role he’s been offered.😬

You forgot we’ve got a crook still training with us and is hoping to take another 10-15k off the wage book. 

[Rover8T4]

Owen wants to know what role he is in the pecking order. Good luck with that, Too many crap chiefs at Ewood already. Not a brain cell or capacity to communicate between them.

F nicko and his nickoteen disiples.  Rovers hating sweaty lard arse.

[roversfan99]

Just think, Nixon will have been no doubt teasing his disciples in advance over some juicy gossip.

That gossip is a player in our retained list down as in talks to stay might stay, a talented youngster might leave (they all do) and there may be more delays and confusion getting staff together. Thrilling.

Of course not by why are we entertaining a 32 year old who’s been Injured more in the last 2 years than not…Then you look at the wage he’ll be on.

He won't be on his Sheffield United wages here

I’ll give him 10/10 for courage. Would I play on a leg so badly broken it needed to be plated ? No way. I’d like to be not walking with a limp or with a stick after I retired.
