Yes they might have a transfer window but do Burnley have the right personal in place to support Kompany? Pope and Cornet will go for sure but then what their budget going to be for signings and how much time has Kompany be focusing on recruitment.

I think Kompany has a quite big rebuilding job there where I think he might have his work cut out there. I do wonder what staff he will have around him and what the club structure is around him. I'm still surprised you haven't announce his staff yet? Has Mike Jackson gone back to previous role now? they might have plenty of experience but most of them you named there are around 32/33 age bracket. Surely you don't want 2 32 years old strikers up front if Kompany plays 2 up front? In Vydra's case he is injured and no new contract agreed there yet between them

Mowbray didn't used him properly and tbh it was pointless signing cos he never played him properly. I would question him why he signed him in the first place and why doesn't target someone else he had more confidence in and would used properly

Kompany wanted Simon Davies his former assistant but he has gone to Spurs academy. Are you concern by the lack of appointments to the coaching staff by Kompany and the club? Cornet wants out. McNeil is wanted by Newcastle and Spurs. Do you honestly think That front 2 is mobile enough for the championship? I think you need younger players and suited to this league.

So does Appleton have promotion on his CV with Oxford United

These aren't friendlies but part of the ICC ODI championship

well that's your opinion whilst mine is different to yours. Appleton was trying to sort the mess that was left after Kean and Berg plus the boardroom mess. Instead Bowyer had to sort it all out Its his opinion and he has made very valid points/opinion on Duff

@longsiders1882 Has Kompany appoint any of his own coaching staff yet? Plus when do you return for pre season?

Mark Hughes has signed him for Bradford City CITY COMPLETE CHAPMAN CAPTURE | News | Bradford City (bradfordcityafc.com)

Very impressive from JDT in that video of him at Ewood Park yesterday.

My friend who is Blackpool supporter and season ticket holder is ok with this appointment. Says its better than appointing Michael Duff for example. My own view is Michael Appleton is a decent appointment there. I think they will finish around 15/16th place not sure why you bringing me into this Isn't David Sullivan loaning Bassini the money to buy the club?

Thanks for your commitment and effort Darragh over the years. I wonder if Wilder will make him captain there.

Can you say what are the strengths and weaknesses are of Harry Darling?

I would be very happy with a voucher as a refund. Great to hear and good to see more fans being ST holders.

JDT Instagram post to the welcome he has received from Rovers and our supporters

Surprised Mark Warburton is going there. Agree it a decent appointment for them. Its a massive rebuilding job there

Looks like departing QPR number 2 John Eustace is set to be appoint Birmingham City manager QPR confirm departure of Eustace - West London Sport

No he turned it down.

Exactly the way I think it will work. It might happen in future years but at the minute it's wont. Broughton and JDT seems very together and both agree on the plan going forward.

Here is JDT's comments to the squad during a team meeting this morning https://instagram.com/stories/rovers/2861840721381009866?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=

JDT on the derby game with the dingles Blackburn will play Burnley next season. How aware of that derby are you and what it means? "Don't really love them no?! he said. "That is the interesting part. We have a lot of those derbies but of course Burnley is the biggest game. We want to do well in those games, but all of those derbies give me personal energy because it's extremely important for the people around."

I thought he said 3 in the middle which I took as 3 centre midfielders. I think he will play 4-2-3-1 formation as its suits the playing squad

That's why I have said prices for food and drinks inside the stadium need to lower and much better quality need. I don't buy inside the stadium but I rather go the Burger van at the back of the club shop cos its better quality and Burgers are tasty. I get drinks from my local corner shop as its much cheaper.
