Don't get me started on Lawro, the man's a total bell. He wrote on his little BBC results prediction page before the Chelsea match that Rovers fans had been treated badly, the club was in a bad state, the protests weren't a surprise etc etc... he then came out after the match on radio and...

Not sure this is neccessarily true. Rovers fans were always saying this when we were under the penny-pinching Walker Trust, but the right managerial appointments (Ince aside) ensured that even with a minus transfer budget (lowest in the league for numerous seasons) we stayed up comfortably. If...

Rhodes is going to be a very good player and will play at Premier League level at some point. Worth it if the price is right.

PSG will be chasing better players than Saha. He's right, it's lazy journalism.

To my knowledge WBA have not been approached. Wouldn't be surprised if their interest turns that way, though.

All quiet on the middle-eastern front at the moment. If there is a takeover close at Everton it ain't the Qataris.

I see... kind of like MGP for us then. Except everyone now knows MGP is crap.

I'll try and make it clear in future what is my opinion and what I've heard from my contact, if that helps?

It's just a guess on my part mate, I never said this is definitely what they're going to do. It's just what would logically make sense looking at all the options available to them.

Is Bilyaletdinov a bit of a "match of the day player", then, or has he just been misused by Moyes? You spent a fair wedge on him so I would have thought if he had the ability Moyes would have used him more... or is that not how it works?

Can't see anything but a win for Everton here. Losing to Wolves would put you in big trouble, as one of us or Wigan will likely gain three points at the weekend. I don't think our match will be a draw. Everton 3-1 Wolves.

You're right, to my knowledge there's been no official approach to Everton yet. They're definitely interested, though, and I fully expect an approach to be made within the next few days. For the record, an approach does NOT mean an official bid. It will be similar to the Qataris communication...

The Qatari interest is real and Venky's statement is a bare-faced lie. They lie all the time - if people paid attention to them they'd realise this. From what I'm told Kenwright isn't interested in negotiating below a certain price. The Qataris will know of this price one way or the other...

I appreciate it must seem a bit strange! I've basically been following a potential takeover at Rovers for some time, the Qatari interest came out of the blue and my contact filled me in pretty well on their motives, wealth, etc. I genuinely believed for some time they were going to buy us so...
