I was thinking this earlier, an update of some kind. Hopefully an honest, transparent one. I wonder if JDT will be giving a presser ahead of Saturdays game or if they won't bother as it's only a friendly. I miss him.

I'd rather we visited schools in surrounding towns and give kids free shirts, imagine something so simple to engage with them and get then interested in the club. A bit like, you know, Accrington Stanley do? Funnily enough I was at a friends child's birthday party last weekend and football obviously got mentioned to a few of the adults there. A number of whom are going on Saturday, in the home end as their kids want to go, fancy that eh? Their schools had all been visited by Stanley, all had free shirts. I've noticed numerous people on here setting up meetings with Waggott etc, can they PLEASE try and establish why we're not tapping into schools in the areas around Blackburn instead of focusing purely on Blackburn itself?

Wonder if they'll let him take their penalties 🤔

Beyond horrific. Their man man just recycles whatever Sharpe posts.

I did say it'd be a slow news week with Sharpe being on holiday..... There could be 2 signings set to be unveiled today and we'd be none the wiser. That halfwit at lancs live most certainly can't be trusted as a source of info! I will admittedly be worried if there's nothing done before the Stanley game though...

Birmancevic who we've beeninked with and a familiar face Martin Olsson on the scoresheet for Malmo, decent game 👍

Us Blackpool Wigan Exeter The only 4 EFL teams yet to sign a player if we're not including the Preston lad. To say how many bodies we need that's pretty grim reading. Can only hope Greg is working round the clock......

Someone on fb said they spoke to the ticket office and they're received them this morning BUT They didn't know how much they were going to be... Think its a case of Celtic piss farting about more than anything on this one though.

I'm not gonna spend time defending him, he seems a decent bloke just trying to do his job. I don't envy him trying to get any sort of information from the circus of a club and all the clowns involved. Barely anyone has decent sources anymore, hence all the shite we read on here that never comes to fruition.

Well I don't expect much in the way of news till/if players are officially announced with Sharpe being away on holiday. I know he's got critics on here but he remains one of the few reporters with half decent links to the club.

Which is why I'm struggling to see us spending 3m on Anel sadly. What's worse is 3m is around the money we threw about previously on shite like Goodwillie & Leon Best without hesitation too 😵

Plane spotting looks to be the new talk now then, its certainly throwing up some random topics in here. Surely he'd land at Doncaster/Sheffield Airport anyway if going there?

I had a feeling we'd probably sign Brannagan early this week. He played (and scored 2) in their friendly yesterday though so I'd say it's unlikely.

3m is a lot for us these days so that'd be pretty much our main summer signing I would have thought, unless potentially Brereton is off...

Hell fire what a sponsor 🤣 Actually looks a decent shirt too apart from that

It's either strap in time or strap on time as Madame Desai dry bums us again 🤣

Was this the guy that said Dack looked particularly sharp? I hope that's the case, I can't imagine he's had much of a holiday and has concentrated on getting his fitness to the next level. He was clearly still way short last season (understandable) so hopefully getting there now.

Yes there's a lot to do, but it was expected when we changed manager anyway to be honest. And yes past transfer experience and the sluggish nature of it will haunt people, at least for now though we have to trust Broughton to pull some strings and get that side of things right. Proof will be in the pudding.... If Sharpe is right and Broughton is returning to the UK before the players, he may well have his shortlist tucked away in his suitcase and get straight down to business. Why else would he return home sooner...

He got a hatty

Season tickets holders getting priority for friendly tickets is just plain weird and more effort than it's worth

There's every chance we weren't even planning on retaining Nyambe as our first choice right back, that Zeefuik was pencilled in as stepping into his shoes. Obviously that didn't really work out because of injuries. Whether he was just unlucky or simply a crock I guess we'll never know. Fans (on here anyway) are getting frustrated there's only 1 player through the door so far, hence this thread being 90% bollocks and bickering. Think about it logically. We've got a new manager and a slightly less new DOF. Reports suggest Park already had a list drawn up for potential signings. Would it be THAT ridiculous if JDT wanted some time with his current crop of players first before going through said list, or indeed finding his own targets with the help of Broughton? I certainly wouldn't want us signing players willy nilly without input from the new gaffer. Do people really give a shite that Burnley have signed a few players from league 1? Just my opinion but it suggests it's Pace signing them just like he did with Weghorst- look how that worked out. I find it hard to believe Kompany knows league 1 inside out.

Regardless of if we think he'll stay or go, surely we can't ignore the fact that Salernitana's record transfer stands at 5.8M, prior to that it was 4.2M in 1998!! Do we really see them smashing their transfer record to sign Diaz after narrowly avoiding relegation last season? Doesn't add up to me for 1 minute.

Salertinata? Christ unless we're selling him for peanuts he ain't going there. Scraped up by a point last season and in the thick of another relegation battle next season I'd imagine. Unless they've had some big cash windfall?

Great new on Philips signing the new contract judging by how highly rated he is 💙🤍

Twine confirmed for the dingles, would have liked to see him here
