Well done DD and BoDs, a fantastic signing.
A very good signing but Bolton could not pay a fee.
Call me cynical but Matt Platt is given a contract then sold to us and White goes to Bolton on loan
Good acquisition but I wonder if I.E had told Mowbray to give MP a contract knowing we would sign him for a fee and hence White goes to Bolton as a thank you.
Christ that is one far fetched scenario.

Blackburn didn’t give him a new contract
They had an option on the contract he signed last year to retain him for another year
It’s something a lot of clubs use when they have a young player who has been courting interest - instead of letting him go for nothing or for a tribunal fee they retain his contract and can then dictate the fee he goes for

Right just read rules if he had been over 24 different but he is 22.
Thanks

Not really I thought the good bye from I.E was more surreal where he mentioned people better be careful what they say as words have consequences.
He just got us promoted what else could we say but thank you.

Don't remember seeing that reported. Who/what was he referring to?

Quality of the video isn't great, but it's a few thoughts on the ins and outs
