Am I right in thinking he can do pretty much everything except get paid?

Gally had a few games last season where he showed what he could do - work rate, tackles, defending and goals. Boro is one that stands out. Then other games he'd come out and it was like his twin brother. Whimped out of challenges, couldn't trap a bag of cement. I'd agree there is a player in there, just hope JDT can get him to do it consistently

Keep Dolan for sure. He was signed two years ago for the U23s and is now a regular in the first team and will be playing for a manager who wants to play high intensity attacking football, he'll thrive in that. Potential is there, now let's get him settled under (hopefully) a manger that will play logical formations.

My main question in all this.... am I the only one not having dinner with Waggot?

Forrest didn't negotiate a 90% sell on clause or something ridiculous did they? Do we get to keep the full amount?
If the ambition for PL is serious you'd hope the vast majority is reinvested in transfers this time.
I'm still not convinced he won't turn back into Brereton. I know he had a bit of a stuttering second half to the season with injuries and international duty but he scored 2 goals since he scored his 20th. I'd personally snap the hand of anyone offering over 15m

Thanks @joey_big_nose - put it far better than i did.
No disrespect to Carter at all. I think it's time to give him some minutes and see what he can do but we shouldn't be reliant on him. If for example he stulruggled with the step up to the championship then we're in trouble
-
Surely if we're going into the season with Carter higher than 4th choice we're in for a long old season. Two CBs are essential.

Was clubless most of last season wasn't he? And doesn't he have a pretty dodgy injury record?

And me! I might print a picture of him off and stick it to the back of my wife's head for bed time.

I can't see the bit you're talking about with Dack? I know it cuts to a close up to him but it just looked like he was staring straight ahead - slightly awkwardly probably because there was a camera in his face.

Jeez, everyone get off Dacks back? He's our best player ffs. Fickle
Exactly. He's had some sub appearances after 2 years out and he's written off. He could well be crocked but give him a full pre season and a run of games atleast.

That's who that was! I clocked him too but couldn't for the life of me put a name to the face.

Markanday Travis and Gally were the ones that stood out as actually properly interacting with JDT where as most of the rest looked either scared or disinterested.
I spend most of my day being very lazy at work but when a new boss turns up it's a tuck your shirt in, give a strong handshake and a smile and pretend I'm good at small talk. That wasn't there with a lot of the squad.

4 minutes ago, Roverall said:Broughton says he believes Mowbray 'over-achieved for years.' That doesn't fill me with confidence.
There also seems to be a distinctive unwillingness to bluntly state what the ambition is. A lot of vagueness. How hard is it to say, "We will fight for promotion"?
How many new managers / DOFs come in and say "that manager was shit, he should never have bottled it in the second half of the season"? Play the game, come in pay a compliement to the last manager and then change pretty much everything he did.
Let's see how much they change at the club and that will show you how much he actually values the foundations mowbray laid.
I think it's been clear the ambition is the Premier league?

Nyambe wasn't expected to come back at all at one stage, so if they're hoping for a "sit down" then circumstances may have changed.
It feels more and more like he had an issue with Mowbray

Agreed, I thought it was odd he hadn't reached out to Nyambe. That's the sort of thing you need to act fast on because there's a finite amount of time before his contract expires and its one less position off the list.
Would have thought there would be more circling for him though but there doesn't seem to be the interest.
-
Agreed it won't be for the sake of it but we don't have a huge budget and past experience we're not fast to act so maybe we can get a bit of advantage by fishing in a slightly more obscure pond that we have a bit more knowledge of - rather than competing with the rest of the championship for the same players.

I imagine when he said it'll take 1 or 2 transfer windows that translates to "this window we just need bodies in next window we can get rid of some dross"

but also worrying since they have not even seen the lads on the training field yet so not sure how they can be on top of what we need
Even just on paper you can see the squad is light. You don't need to watch them train to know that for example 2 of our starting CBs last season have left

Tony said 4 transfer windows didn't he? So by my reckoning the new regime is already twice as good 🤣

Finally got round to watching his full interview. By the end I noticed I was watching with a smile on my face. He's saying all the right things and has the right attitude. It's probably the first appointment under venkys where there's a genuinely positive feeling around it. Lambert is probably the only other appointment that felt good at the time but that didn't feel anywhere near as positive as this.
He's a young largely untested coach so of course it might not work out but if it doesn't I don't think it will be through lack of trying or effort.
I'd take a midbtable mediocre season this year if we're genuinely building to something

Jon Dahl Tomasson - Officially No Longer Our Head Coach
in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard

It's all part of a master plan. "Appoint" JDT whip the fans up into a state of positivity to buy season tickets. Once waggots targets are met "oh look work permit issues what are we going to do"
"Don't worry, I'll save the day" said Tony Mowbray. "Gee thanks tone, here's a 5 year contract" said Waggot "phew I can go back to not pating any attention to blackburn" said everyone with Venky DNA
