JUST whisper it -- but could it be that the money has run out out at Ewood?
Despite the brave words said at the time of Jack Walker's death, the evidence is that the "sky's the limit" philosophy, is a thing of the past.
Witness the fact that various players, considered by Souness to be not good enough for his average First Division side seem able to hold their own in their new (often Premiership) teams.
Witness the business of Matthew Jones. Three quarters of a million was once considered petty cash at Ewood.
It is an added irony, of course, that the latest club to become a rich man's toy is currently leading the First Division by a mile.
