Their wage bill is at least twice what ours was. They have a squad that should be capable in the Championship. They had the 9th highest wage bill when they got relegated.To be fair to him he did get it across the line last time and hi's budget won't be anything like competitive in the Championship. He worked for SISU here and the Venkys there are no better. He probably also has aspirations of a tilt at the Championship with a team to challenge but might be better walking away before a ball is kicked as his stock will fall if he doesn't get a good start and that looks unlikely at the moment.
Tony 'season don't start till september' MowbrayMOWBRAY STAYING PATIENT
Blackburn manager Tony Mowbray is playing the waiting game as he looks to add to his squad.
"It's difficult because the Premier League teams have just come back, because of the World Cup," he told the club website.
"They've generally taken their young players with them, because their international players are not back yet or are still on holiday, so they need to make sure their squads are deep and strong enough to play games.
"So the players that probably will be available to go out on loan are not available at the moment, so we have to be patient and wait."

Not convinced by his time here as manager, but do agree with this. Quite happy to accept the CCFC job is a poisoned chalice too!I thought he departed as he had acted throughout - honourably.
exactly!Meh, this is Blackburn's problem.

Yeah its Reda Johnson now playing in the Norway Subbuteo Premier League!He is still waiting to sign that dominant centre back who currently plays in one of Europe's top leagues.
Update latest...Yeah its Reda Johnson now playing in the Norway Subbuteo Premier League!

On reflection, I still blame 85% of our relegation on Slade, he absolutely has us dead and buried by February.
I always thought Mowbray was an alright manager, but probably not the right manager for us at the time.
The problem was he had no experence of managing at our level, so was always looking at players above to improve the side. Even in our good season under hm we had pretty pretty youngsters who could get bulled.
I'd assume Blackburn have an OK base but he needs to try and boost them on a (relatively) limited budget. It's a traditional SISU tactic, incdentally, to wait as long as possible to save cash before signing players, so not unreasonable other owners think the same. It's only since the club was cut off, and since Robins has been backed (I'd assume he came with credit from his first spell in charge, and a Wembley win, that meant he could call the shots more pre-season) that we've recognised having the players training with us might be useful...
He was allowed to sign them Jones as a straight replacement for someone who had gone. Jones wasn't even signed with the first team in mind, he got thrown in there because there was bugger all else!Mowbray was allowed to sign players like Gadzev and Jones before the season had finished with the season after in mind.
However now you're seeing more and more that Mogga set us up for trouble and a few did warn against this. No Mogga failure would have meant no Slade.
Here we are seeing one dimensional Mogga back to his best.
The budget they had last year was the main reason they got promoted, and probably the main reason they will stay up. The players they have are good enough.
Compare Mogga to Robins. The latter is so much better in every way.
