Why when we’ve just sold our best player for 10million!?

After selling our previous best player for £18m 6 months prior - and receiving over £2m for Gallagher / Telalovic / Wahlsted and another £5m for Raya this summer.

Boggles the mind doesn't it?

On loan. Sigh.

Hutch was a good ‘un, he gave many a good player a hard time. However I remember Eamon Rogers playing as an emergency right back and keeping him relatively quiet in another night match at Ewood. That was Eamon, he could have been anything he wanted to be. If ever a player lost his way.

"They call him Eamon Rogers, they call him the king of the land, his hair hangs over his shoulders tied up with a blue and white band"  Who remembers that one the Blackburn End sang frequently - know the tune in my head but couldn't name it!

Just watched Eustace's pre-match presser and a big chunk of it is focused on Trav, how much he's admired him, felt he was missed last season and that they were in contact while Trav was out on loan. 

Seems unlikely that Trav'll leave now, even with the speculation. The club have made a considered PR effort this week to celebrate his return as captain.

It's all pretend. How many clubs get a statement regarding the ownership of the club which actually has no quotes from the ownership.

Put your money where your mouth is or just shut up and fk off.

How many clubs have to make repeated statements about their ownership? This is at least the third one this calendar year.

It's clear there is some blockage on bringing in new players. Unsurprisingly it looks like we are waiting for the loan market to land us a coupe of squad fillers.

When you look at our summer business it appears on the surface totally bizarre on timings and frequency. Nothing all summer, then about 5 in the space of a few days, then nothing again in several weeks since then.

Then when you start to think about it from the 'hand to mouth' existence the Indians have reduced us to, whereby we can only commit to new contracts and wages once we have brought in money and offloaded wages, it makes perfect sense.

The capital brought in from Gallagher and his wages off the books, together with cash for Gent, enough to get those deals over the line but no more.

Since then we've sold Szmodics but not spent. I suspect the main reason for that is we are still waiting to discover what, if any, portion of that  money the rats will allow to be spent on replacement players, a process that should have been completed prior to any sale or certainly within hours of it, but here likely takes weeks to resolve.

The other issue of course being that Szmodics' wage likely not to be that substantial in the scheme of things, certainly compared to Gallagher which probably covered Ohashi, Gueye, Batth and Weimann in one swoop.

This is why IMO someone upstairs is maneuvering for more sales including Travis because if he's top earner on £15k a week or whatever they'll be thinking of getting 3 in for that and a few million more on the running costs. No brainer if you've no interest in winning football matches, progressing or anything other than saving the owners money.

Personally think it will be a couple of loans and if we are lucky one more cheap cash buy.

When was the last time one of the Raos directly addressed the supporters or press? 

Absolutely arrogant scumlords.

Rushworth one of the best in the division last season…. Surely a + for us regardless of the fact it’s only short term

Black Velvet Band is the Irish song..

Rushworth would be as good a loan as we could get but we shouldnt be fixing our goalkeeping problem with a temporary solution considering the fees brought in.

Im guessing we are amongst a pool of teams for him.

[Moptop1]

Over to you, fan groups.

When is your next meeting with the mighty ones?

Ian Hutchinson

Ah, such a bygone era. Got himself two broken legs, a broken arm, a broken toe, persistent knee trouble and retired at 27.

Good old day, bad old days –sure we have done that debate before now.

Can’t believe it’s possible to hate someone you’ve never met as much as I do Waggott and Venky’s. Couldn’t organise a shag in a monkey whore house with a fistful of bananas. I’m fully convinced waggott writes these pointless statements with a grin on his face knowing he’s pissing people off. He can’t be that out of touch to think that it’s a good idea.

Struggling with his wages.

Yeah.

They've "secured required permissiona" with conditions attached they don't want to meet.

Pull the other one Steve.

Or....we're being unduly cynical and harsh and we can expect to see the Szmodics money and then some spent next week.

I can't wait.

So Swansea can afford his wages for a season but we can’t? Next.

Neeeeeeeeeext.

We were in the bottom third of the league on salaries last season, I shudder to think where we are this. Cost cutting after cost cutting. We want Rangers to pay a portion of Rabbi Matondo's wages too - they want to get him completely off the books for £1m (or somewhere around that mark) and we're cheekily asking for a cut-price loan instead.

We're such a joke of a club. Absolute paupers.
