Not wasting our time at all. Put in a bid. Talk to the player and present our case. It is a priority position. He's available at a bargain price.

If you don't try, you don't get.

There's a useful left back at Wigan with a £1.5m release clause. He's the sort of player we ought to be all over. We have need of a left back.We haven't even put a bid in.Pretty conclusive evidence that Mowbray has no money to spend on transfers, if you ask me. @phili Coincidentally that £4m also covers the outstanding balance for Gallagher and the next tranche of Brereton,in my opinion. 80% of the wages will have been covered by the furlough scheme. It could have been spent to pay the outstanding deferred wages

Yes, Sunderland underline how just how important it was for us to come straight back up in automatic promotion. I'm aware that it took Leeds and Sheff Utd several seasons to get out of league 1. Sheff Utd got into the Premier league in two seasons. There are a hundred million reasons to want to be in the premier league. Embarrassment hardly matters. The opportunity is there to strengthen the team. Let's look at Mowbray's track record.His success stories. Dack and Armstrong. Smallwood for two seasons. Gallagher if not played out of position. He's brought Travis and JRC into the first team.Even if freebie Downing were to stay,it's not likely he'd be around in two to three years. There's no guarantee that Mowbray would be able to construct a promotion team that could stay in the premier league in 2-3 years. I'm comparing finishes in the championship to illustrate progress, not who has more finance. One of the teams we played in that run of 15 games was Wolves. Reports said we weren't even trying to win that match.Wolves now play in the premier league and tomorrow play in the Europa League quarter finals. An owner and a manager who both wanted to succeed. We have neither.

League 1 in which we should never have been. Mowbray brought in to save us. He had 15 games and failed, on goal difference to Forest. This season Forest missed out on the play offs on goal difference. Now that's progress, though Forest won't have regarded it as such, since they'd been in the playoff positions fora lot of the season.We're supposed to tout 11th, having been 10th as the season was halted. Mowbray decided to play a whole new scheme after the restart.He threw away a great chance to get us into the playoffs, something he'd declared to be the minimum requirement at the beginning of the season. Judging Mowbray is something you resolutely do not do.

What makes it an odd suggestion to expect a manager who has publicly stated he doesn't know what his budget is to publicly state that he does know his budget? Why, if you're a selling club, would you deal with a club that doesn't know its budget? It's a waste of your time.

Nothing you've just written is an answer to what I wrote.To state that you now know your budget is not to state your hand nor reveal the cards held. Contrary to what you assert, most managers have had to earn their corn by wheeling and dealing. Loans cost money, too. If the league gets their way, loans will disappear from the game. Freebies have always been a part of the game. We're one of only 3 teams in the top two divisions not to have sold any season tickets. Why trumpet our way as the way of the future? For the second season running our shirts will not be available for fans to purchase before the season begins. Neither decision strikes me as a proper way to run a business.

I could see him being sent out as one of the players we send on loan to Barrow. @1864roveriteWhen your manager publicly states that he hasn't clarity on his budget, it is reasonable to expect an equally public statement that he now knows his budget. I happen to think, Mowbray knows who he wants to bring in and how much they'll cost.What he hasn't got, is the money, as shown by his recent statement that he's not 'buying time' at Blackburn Rovers. Does that mean he's prepared to walk,if he isn't backed? I don't know. It is, however, the first time whilst he's been a Rovers that he's said anything like it.

Eastham and Fisher would playing in the first team, not U23s.

A couple of LT articles @chaddyrovers

According to the Lancashire Telegraph,Eastham was told he'd feature for the first team this season and Fisher's been told he can challenge for the starting keeper spot. That leaves Hilton as the U23 keeper. Mowbray has said goalkeeper is his top priority, but he has yet to say the he now knows his budget. There's no sense of urgency. This summer, as last, the club is content to offer a player a new contract and wait for his response.

I wouldn't rate the Pears story as serious. Gibson's on record as saying negotiating with Venkys was his worst experience. Warnock could say something similar. The reporter thought Walton was impressive. For me, the Story's really about Warnock looking for an experienced keeper. We've already got three keepers Pears' age.

Pompey's owner, Michael Eisner is a billionaire.

You've made your position clear. I disagree with you. Let's leave it here and see what unfolds.

Project Fear rears its ugly head.

So you approve of paying money in the pockets of dodgy owners, do you? How's the conversation gone with Dillon? We like you, but we''re talking with half a dozen others, in case we don't like you as much as we thought we did. You'll have to fight for your place, is that okay? Player will still be there after an administrator comes in.

Charlton have no owner. Unless the appeal is successful, administration Why would anyone offer Charlton anything for anyone until the ownership or administration is known?

Apparently had it turneddown.Don't seem tobe interested in going higher.

If Sheff Utd don't get Henderson back on loan, they'll be in for Iversen as the best of the bunch of keepers up for loaning out.

King's played161 league matches for Bournemouth and has many appearances for Norway.We should have been getting money based off that, were there a clause. There's been nothing in the local press about any payments.

We've no money for loans and couldn't afford the wages.It would be far better ,if we stopped this and said we had no money and stop embarrassing the Blackburn Rovers name.

Yes, Johnson can take pre-season training.

Since you asked so nicely: The activity filing for Blackburn Rovers Football and Athletic for Barclays instigating liquidation proceedings The activity filing for VLL shortly thereafter showing an influx of £33m. The figure for the money owed to Barclays was widely quoted at the time. Your figures now clarify why Venkys paid off only 4.1m to the bank, because that was what they thought was owed. It would appear that the accounts do not provide the full story.

overdraft: 23.1m on takeover. Reduced to 19m soon after. The promise had been to pay it all off on takeover. It remained on our books, which were then moved to India after Barclays ceased to be our bankers. I think the fact the overdraft was being rapidly run up finally pushed Barclays into taking the action that they did. We still needed cashflow, so Samba was sold whilst the new overdraft facility was set up with SBOI, still secured against the club..

VLL had an influx of £33m to deal with the debt owed Barclays.Barclays had instigated liquidation proceedings. I've never seen a figure as low as £10m quoted. The most common figure I've seen quoted is £19m, but it was a private transaction. Venkys took us private from being a publicly quoted company. Samba did go soon after, but we still needed financing.
