If there was a handshake between Szmodics, Waggot and his agent over a 6/8 million figure and Rovers are holding out for more then i'ts likely his and his agents dummies have come out.

It was here when Mowbray was gaffer i often said he'd be better being a player welfare officer.

By and large it's just another sticking plaster job that will need doing again in 12 months. Spending on wages will hopefully keep us up another season but it needs regular re-investment of fees into the squad to rebuild it sustainably. Millions in wages on 12 month contracts is money down the bog never to be seen again by this time next year.

Yeah they got rid of about 25% of it....just in time for the 20% budget cut. Another amazing coincidence.

Only had to sell half the team to get around to it.

He knows how to portray he's asking the right questions without making his pray bite enough that they get the hump with him. That means tricky questions are allowed stock answer replies.

Seems to me that those inside the club are extremely rattled that their comfortable little gravy train ride is now firmly under the spotlight and it won't go away. Well done to all those who have kept the pressure until they finally start crawling out into the light.

I wonder how much his own pockets have swelled in that time ? Hes always been the de facto Chairman if you ask me and there are a lot of questions to asked, some of them of a legal nature.

Peoples freedom of choice in buying tickets should never be taken away some prefer buying actual physical tickets often in person. No way should it be such a big deal to provide the most basic level of customer service for any football club and any savings making it all digi would be minimal. I also believe these local institutions have a duty to provide jobs for local people instead of brassing everything off to some IT manager 200 miles away and paying him a fortune.

I like Dolan but not on that money.

'Hello i'm Suhail but i'm not really here i don't really exist, Steve will fill you in on everything, goodnight'

They aren't funding it though are they the incoming transfer instalments are yet this seems to be being passed off as then guaranteeing this seasons losses cover. As for the court case on a reassurance scale of 1 to 10 with one being remaining huge concerns that was a minus 1 it tells us nothing except the usual 'the owners hope...'

We needed money and he was it so he was being eased towards the door i'm amazed anyone couldn't see it. Pears was doing ok, TK was dejected and Luton were alerted so once that process began he was always on his way.

I do see some of the problems under Waggot as an inability and lack of desire to manage upwards. How much that has played a part is hard to tell given what he works under and the shadow man will no doubt remain so the next one in will just have to keep the lights on as well. Waggot has had the luxury of working under an ownership under writing whatever losses every season yet he has still squeezed the club as much as possible however the next one in will not have that luxury. Hate to say it but it's likely to be worse.

Good to see Bakole end the Jared Anderson hype train, something i never jumped on although allegedly he got the better of Fury in sparring. Not seen the Ruiz jnr v the walking pharmacy fight so wondering if it's worth watching back ?

Not by any stretch of the imagination.

I think the recent signings have put that one to bed, for now, however i personally reckon a few inside Ewood would go down that road if they could.

Thought they'd spent a couple of million on him.

5 goals in 61 appearances for his previous club wasn't exactly prolific.

Maceo Rigters was a very odd signing.

Need to apply the same logic to a striker if Sammie goes.

Why a 'secret' meeting ? What is the point in that other than to either cover something up or try and pacify a few egos.

Funnily enough we played them a few times on opening day before that. Would you know ?

He is also imo the one who is doing very nicely for his own pockets wheeling and dealing in the shadows of Blackburn Rovers.

Yep he appears to have got more right recently than in the last 5 years so it's no coincidence despite how his groupies might constantly big him up.
