Transfer Window - COMPLETE. Where’s Gregg?

Transfer Window - COMPLETE. Where’s Gregg?
OldEwoodBlue replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The main issue is that fans are frustrated by the lack of activity. Last season the expectations were very low. After an amazing start, where we got a new Striker called Diaz who fired us into Second place, expectations and excitement increased. Our collapse down the table was universally seen as the result of a clueless and unambitious manager. Get shut of Mowbray, get an exciting new manager, hire a few better first team players and we should be in the play offs. Easy. Mowbray out. Tick JDT in. Tick. So just the better players needed. And here we are. -

Broughton is implementing "the vision of the owners", not the vision of Rovers fans. As is Waggott. -

Its only 10 hours a day with Sunday off. Its normal for people to be doing much more including work calls and emails. Nobody gets anywhere on 35 hours pw. Oh dear me. You keep repeating that you don't want any transfer updates from the club. Yet besides coming on here every day, you actively send questions to Nicko and Sharpe on twitter for transfer updates. Do you want transfer updates or not ? JDT has the final say... not Swag or Suhail or Balaji then. You clearly don't understand how things work at Rovers. Suggesting mere Rovers fans (except yourself) are too thick to understand the new structure just misses the point. Whatever the structure, it won't work at Rovers whilst we have these owners. -

Look forward to hearing the positive justification after the window, when those signings don't appear. We already know they need 3 windows anyhow. In youth we trust. Ironic as Mowbray only trusted men. -

Not really. He is number 2 in a chain of 5 nay sayers. Soon be number 3 from 6. A true middleman by definition. Can't even pick his own players. -

If this is a 3 year youth project, then we don't need to be signing 6 new players A couple of competent bodies to boost the squad numbers will be more than enough. Review again in January based on the injury list. The emphasis on recruitment needs to be the next crop of youth to backfill for when this lot are sold on. Sounds like it is. Now if we had ambitions to get promoted it would be a different story. -

Gregg is still counting the tuppences in Waggott's money jar to see what we can afford. -

Broughton says yes, JDT says yes. Swag says yes. Suhail says yes. Passed to India. Pause. Venkys say yes. Player has already signed elsewhere. We now await Broughton recruiting a head of recruitment to start the process of player recruitment. This is so exciting. Footnote. This gets really complex when you apply the above process to the recruitment of a new Head of Recruitment. -

So at Rovers, instead of recruiting players, the bloke brought in to recruit players is instead, busy recruiting another bloke to recruit players. All makes sense now. -

We already have Gally so we won't need another dolloper. Vale is going to get promoted to chief goal scorer ready to sell next summer. Owners vision. Don't shoot the messenger. -

Marquee signing = season ticket sales. And thus the inverse is also true. -

So the big update on transfers gives not a shred of transfer information or comfort. You can all see where we need better players. I want better players. Hopefully the club lets me have some. Here we go again. -
