When Dack was fit we were batting away 15 million bids.It would have taken a bid of 2 or 3 million to take Rothwell from here in the summer yet he is still here. 8 goals in 130 appearances for Rothwell

If they were going to void the bet they wouldn't have offered the cash out.They can't offer a cash out of half and then turn around and say the bet is voided for the punters who didn't take up the cash out offer

They are paying out half now, the bet won't be voided. A sale or injury biggest worry

He was at Oxford before here and when not injured his place in the starting 11 wasn't a shoe in,he was left out in games there too. A better manager/coach might get more out of him as I agree he has the talent but he has to take some responsibility too.His goal and assist record is poor with the quality he possesses. Three assists so far this season is decent though maybe giving a bit more now he is in the shop window? Last season a number of games on ifollow/sky I heard Mowbray screaming at Rothwell to play further up the field and Rothwell wasn't doing as asked.In my opinion Mowbray was correct his dribbling skills need to be utilised closer to the box not going past a few men in the middle of the park and then more often than not choosing the wrong option. I'm no Mowbray fan but if we are going to blame him for Rothwells inconsistency are we going to say it's down to Mowbray that Armstrong went from being a 3 million buy to a 15+ Million sale.

Overall fault lays with the owners but the underhand things that went on at the club was that not the doing of Jerome Anderson,Sem and whatever other "advisors" had gotten in the owners ears? The Venkys know nothing about football?In my opinion their purchase of Rovers was a marketing tool to get their name known in the UK and Europe. They were led on themselves.Those interviews about leasing players and a 5 Million budget to qualify for Europe.Those seeds were planted in their heads. Like they obviously didn't get into this game to make money, they are absolutely minted and I don't believe signings are made that might make a couple of Million profit for billionaires. They are absolutely terrible owners and have no business being involved in football.Their crime since being here is either letting people who were taking advantage of them make club decisions (Jerome Anderson appointing Kean) or carrying on leaving incompetent people on ground

The Aberdeen manager confirmed a 500k bid was turned down for Hedges and it was after the Edun deal that bid was made. Not a fortune but shows there was some money.The deal to take Maja on loan with an option was on again further proof there was some funds available. Why would Mowbray and Waggott use being close to FFP as an excuse?It will be down to their mismanagement of the playing budget and Waggots failure to bring in income as to why we would be so close to the limit

I do believe we are on the brink of breaking the ffp rules, granted we brought on 15 million for Armstrong but it was with 2 weeks left of the window and with ouu wages to turnover running the way it was I don't see how we couldn't be close to breaking the rules.Plus didn't chaddy put up how much the owners have put in over the last couple of seasons and ffp preventing anymore owner funding? Money has been mismanaged.The owners had no problem paying for Bennets and Mulgrews new deals.No.problem making Sam Gallagher one of our biggest earners and paying a five million fee. I'm not suggesting that the owners would spend freely but up to this summer he has had adequate funding. If the budget had been a bit healthier we would have seen Evans and Bennett with new deals. Mowbray has made some good signings Dack and Armstrong etc but he has wasted an awful lot stupidly. Even though our budget Iimited still feel it's been wasted, the loans might be on the cheaper side but they all add together,they are all similar types.Did we need both Poveda and Khedra?Did we need Clarkson?We couldn't have loaned a more physical type? Aberdeen manager confirmed we had 500k Turned down for Hedges.So there was some money available.But again the people on the ground can't get the deals done. Even last season all the loan deals,we brought in 11 players last summer, they add up.Maybe if he could play with a smaller squad we would have got a couple of permanent signings rather than half a dozen loan signings. The owners give a budget and he works around that budget.He wants as big a squad as he can so fills it with loans.

The reason why the budget so low is because of the money wasted in previous seasons.Instead of him using the budget to extend players contracts during the first pandemic (players who didn't play) maybe he should have been asking for that money to be put towards a new deal for Nyambe at the time.

Where is this coming from?

IV no idea what point you are trying to make apart from trying to be a smartarse and failing. Again the article says we might sell to Rangers in January hence my opening post saying Nixon selling Rothwell to Rangers

If you read the article it says Rovers could choose to sell in January

If he gets 15+ league goals this season and keeps us away from trouble he will have turned out to be a good signing.We all worried where the goals were coming from after Armstrong and thus far he has stepped up. The money should have been spread around the squad and we didn't have the luxury to wait for him to come good but he has come on an awful lot and if he gets the goals to keep us away from trouble and he moves on and we get a profit then in my opinion he will have been a good signing.

We won't be losing him on a free we might not get as much as we should but he won't be going on a free.Club have a years option on his contract. He was the wrong signing and too much money spent on him but has improved a lot over the last 2 years

Am not trolling I could say you are trolling by calling fans weird for thinking he played well for Chile when you yourself say you didn't watch all the matches.I did watch them and he did more than "just" score a goal. Brererton has been better and shown more than Gallagher in their times here no disputing that

Nixon selling Rothwell to Rangers in January https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/16312063/rothwell-rangers-transfer-blackburn-january-brentford/

You don't half like blowing your own trumpet don't you? Cardiff week you posted more than once about you being right about Gallagher because he had a good game and it proved the posters who criticized him wrong. Yet no mention of Brererton by you who got a hat trick.Yet you were posting saying that you "haven't been taken in like other fans because he scored a goal for Chile" and taken in by all the Chilean fanfare

Seen some on the FB group trying to flog spare tickets for £100 a piece.

Aberdeen manager confirmed we had a 500k bid turned down for Hedges? No argument the budget was minimal but shows we had a little money and an alternative to restricting all our signings to loan deals with the exception of Edun

Fingers crossed he can get through the next 2 games and then we have a 2 week break

Gallagher in for Poveda who drops to the bench.Davenport misses out

Aberdeen manager confirmed we had a 500k bid turned down for Hedges

They took in a match whilst negotiating Brererton's cut price January move to Benfica

You don't have any idea how close we are to the limit? So how do you know that spending a fraction of the income generated wouldn't have put us at risk of a points deduction or transfer ban?

It comes down to finance aswell though Sparks. He did well in his role at Celtic and Mourinho wanted him at Chelsea will reserve judgement until he has had more time in the job. I don't lay the blame at his door for our poor window

The lack of signings is hardly Parks fault. He was brought In with hardly any of the window left.Its down to whoever took so long to fill the head of recruitment role which had been vacant for months .
