🇩🇰 It's a thread I've been waiting to make for a long time but now with the arrival of Jon Dahl Tomasson the fun can finally begin!
So with the Nordic revolution on its way to Lancashire who could @Rovers sign under Danish control?

The first thing to consider is how much money do Blackburn have? I think most fans would be able to answer that question with "Not much" so we have to be realistic.
That being said, in this market, Nordic players can be nabbed cheep. I mean look at that Norwegian las at City!

Honestly, unrealistic in my eyes. But Rovers will need another striker.
However. Botheim at the end of this month Botheim will be without a club and Rovers new director of football knows Botheim very well from his time in Bodo/Glimt.

Blackburn Rovers’ financial results for 2020/21 cover a season when they finished 15th in the Championship under Tony Mowbray (down from prior year 11th). Club described the campaign as “unprecedented”, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Some thoughts follow #Rovers
#Rovers loss narrowed by £15.3m from £21.9m to £6.6m, mainly due to £13m profit from sale of training ground. Revenue rose £1.0m (7%) to £14.5m, but profit on player sales fell £2.5m to £0.6m. Expenses were cut £1.0m (3%), while other operating income rose £2.7m to £3.3m.
#Rovers revenue increase was driven by growth in broadcasting, up £2.1m (31%) from £6.8m to £8.9m, and commercial, up £0.8m (19%) from £4.0m to £4.8m, which offset the COVID driven reductions in match day, down £1.9m (71%) from £2.7m to just £0.8m.

Blackburn Rovers’ financial results for 2019/20 cover a season when they finished 11th in the Championship under Tony Mowbray, the “longest serving manager in the division”. Figures adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Some thoughts in the following thread #Rovers
#Rovers loss widened by £4m from £18m to £22m, as revenue fell £3.2m (19%) from £16.7m to £13.2m, while operating expenses grew £3.6m (10%), partly offset by profit on player sales rising £2.5m to £3.1m and £0.6m government furlough income.
All three #Rovers revenue streams were lower, mainly due to COVID: commercial dropped £1.5m (27%) from £5.5m to £4.0m; match day fell £1.0m (29%) from £3.7m to £2.7m; and broadcasting was down £0.6m (8%) from £7.4m to £6.8m.
Blackburn made operating losses of over £24 million in 2019/20. Player sales reduced this to ‘just’ £21 million. #Rovers
Blackburn total losses over the years now exceed £282,000,000. This has been funded by loans and shares bought by the Venkys.
Venkys lent #Rovers £14 million in 19/20 on top of £18 million the previous year. I suspect @AndyhHolt is unimpressed at the casino style football finance operations we constantly see in the Championship
A THREAD! 👇 After coaching his home country, Mark Hughes became Blackburn's manager. Looking back on his time in charge, he talks about wanting to overrun teams, the physical tag his side was labelled with and going up against SIr Alex Ferguson and José Mourinho 🔵⚪ #Rovers
🗣️ "When I took over, I think they were second from bottom. It was only a handful of games into the new season but it was a difficult situation – Graeme Souness had left for Newcastle and I don’t think the club was quite prepared for a managerial change."
🔵⚪ #Rovers
🔵⚪ #Rovers
🗣️ "The squad had a strong core of players I felt comfortable with. There was a good group of senior players – the likes of Garry Flitcroft and Brad Friedel, who was an outstanding goalkeeper – and some good young players too, and their work ethic was exceptional."

Blackburn Rovers’ financial results for 2018/19 covered “a season of consolidation for Tony Mowbray’s men”, as the club finished 15th in the Championship, having secured automatic promotion from League One the previous year. Some thoughts in the following thread #Rovers
#Rovers loss widened by £1.4m from £16.8m to £18.2m, despite revenue increasing by £7.7m (86%) from £9.0m to £16.7m following promotion, as operating expenses grew £8.6m and profit on player sales fell £0.5m to £0.6m.
Main reason for #Rovers £7.7m revenue growth was the higher TV deal in the Championship, which meant broadcasting almost quadrupled, rising £5.5m from £1.9m to £7.4m. There was also good growth in commercial, up £1.2m (28%) to £5.5m, and match day, up £1.0m (35%) to £3.7m.
Birmingham City’s 2017/18 financial results covered a season when they finished 19th in the Championship, only avoiding relegation on the final day, and had three managers: big-spending Harry Redknapp, Steve Cotterill and Garry Monk. Some thoughts in the following thread #BCFC
#BCFC loss before tax more than doubled from £16.4m to a barely credible £37.4m, primarily due to massive investment in the squad: wages rose £16.1m (71%) from £22.5m to £38.6m, while player amortisation increased by £5.0m from £2.6m to £7.6m.
The higher #BCFC loss arose even though revenue grew by 9% (£1.6m) to £19.1m and profit on player sales was up £1.9m to £2.1m. All revenue streams increased: broadcasting £0.6m (9%) to £7.6m, match receipts £0.6m (13%) to £5.1m and commercial £0.4m (6%) to £6.5m.
I published a study last week on where Premier League clubs source their money and what they spend it on by reviewing the clubs’ cash flow statements over the last decade. Today I do a similar exercise on Championship clubs – where the picture is very different.
In the 10 years between 2008 and 2017 Championship clubs had over £2.8 bln of available cash with the vast majority of financing £2.5 bln coming from their owners (loans £1.9bln and shares £0.6 bln)
So an incredible 87% of Championship clubs’ cash came from owner financing with just 7% from operating activities. This is in stark contrast to the Premier League with 54% from operations and 42% from owners. There was also £41m from (net) player sales & £45m from bank balances.
Blackburn Rovers Holding Company Venkys London announces losses of £15 million for 2017/18, when the club was in League 1 and promoted at end of season. Losses are a League 1 record #Rovers #BRFC
Although the 2016/17 financial results for the Championship are now a season out-of-date, they are the most recent published by the clubs, so people might still be interested in the comparisons as the new season kicks-off. Some thoughts in the following thread.
In contrast to the Premier League, only 6 clubs in the Championship made money, led by #NFFC £32m & #BarnsleyFC £13m. In this very competitive division most clubs over-extend in a bid to reach the lucrative top flight. Largest losses at 2 promoted clubs: #NUFC £47m & #BHAFC £39m.
Some clubs’ figures impacted by significant exceptional items, so #NFFC (£40m) and #ReadingFC (£9m) were boosted by loan write-offs. In contrast, promotion bonuses adversely affected #HTAFC £12m, #NUFC £10m and #BHAFC £9m. Newcastle also booked £22m onerous contract provisions.
Blackburn Rovers’ financial results for 2016/17 covered “a season to forget for #Rovers fans”, as the club was relegated from the Championship to League One with manager Owen Coyle replaced by Tony Mowbray. The good news is that they have immediately bounced back in 2017/18.
#Rovers loss worsened by £2.3m from £1.5m to £3.8m, mainly due to £7.1m (32%) reduction in revenue to £14.9m and £6.0m fall in profit on player sales to £10.4m, offset by cost cuts: wages £3.4m (13%) to £22.0m, other expenses £4.8m (51%) to £4.5m & player amortisation £1.8m.
Main reason for what #Rovers Finance Director Mike Cheston described as “a significant drop in income” was the loss of parachute payments £10.5m, though the blow was softened by £4.3m solidarity payments. Match day and commercial slightly declined, by £0.2m & £0.1m respectively.
