  1. Haven't seen any comment from Waggott since the adjournment of the case. I thought he might have, especially after the LET article this week.
  2. Disappointed that Lowe and Benson will still be around. I presume that Eustace was told that he had to accept them as part of his coaching staff if he wanted the job. If Lowe is in the dugout tomorrow I hope he gets himself a decent haircut in the morning, as the cameras are likely to be on him and Johnson.
  3. Exactly the same for me. Trying to get my own seat, but gave it up after three attempts with different cards.
  4. An interesting theory, but if that is the case, what would this mysterious shadow owner stand to gain from running the club into the ground? Unless someone can enlighten me, I can't see this "someone else" gaining anything financially from seeing us tumble from the Premiership down (possibly) to League 1 or lower. I still believe that Venkys were duped by a certain agent into buying the club, and now have no idea how to extricate themselves without losing face in India. They have no interest in the club or its fortunes, they have not set foot in Ewood Park for 6 or 7 years and they do not appreciate the fact that owning a football club, particularly one with our history, is about more than just paying the bills. As a supporter for over 60 years, they have left me in a state of despair as to the future of my club. Going back to my original point, if the shadow owner gains nothing from owning us, then what do Venkys gain from owning us.?
  5. The fact that it is taking so long to make a decision suggests to me that perhaps the EFL are taking legal advice before deciding. The delay is ridiculous, and as others have said, it reflects badly on the EFL.
  6. I was at the game, though not on the league liner. I was living in London at the time and remember getting absolutely drenched on the way to the ground. My hair was as long as Hutchins's but I am now almost bald..Happy days!!
  7. Wayne Rooney would be my choice. He has worked wonders at Derby under very difficult circumstances, behaved with dignity throughout and brought through a good number of youth players. He has also instilles a fighting spirit in the squad. But for the points deduction, they would be comfortably mid table, and here he would be starting with a nucleus of better players. The chance to play under Rooney might also persuade players like Lenighan, Rothwell and Nyambe to stay at the club. His persona would attract better calibre players and I think that his appointment might appeal to Balaji's liking for celebreties. An ex ManUtd and England star should be right up his street. I can't see him staying at Derby if they go down, and I cannot see any premiership clubs wanting to take a punt-Everton maybe, but surely they will stick with Lampard unless they go down.
  8. This is the heart of the problem. It is quite obvious that the owners don't care, probably being satisfied with the club providing them with annual losses to set against their tax returns. They also seem to know nothing about football and how clubs are often the hub of their community. It has been said by many on this site previously that no other manager would have survived last season's abysmal run of two wins in 19; many managers would have been sacked after Rovers suffered the worst home defeat in their long history in November; TM has now created another unwanted record with just 3 goals in 2022; he continues to play Sam Gallagher as a winger (in my opinion he has ruined the lad's confidence); he plays other players out of position in the insane belief that he is a tactical genius, and last week he played the most left footed player on the books on the right wing. He moved heaven and earth to sign Ryan Hedges, but has yet to give him a start no doubt because he has yet to learn the way we play. My fear is that Venkys will simply renew TM's contract based on the fact that he made a profit on Armstrong and will no doubt make a profit on the sale of BBD. Having owners who have no interest in football is a desperate situation to be in and until they are gone we will not be able to reclaim our club. I accept that people will say "where would we be without them", but I just cannot see where proper footballing decisions are going to come from. Certainly not from Waggott or Suhail.
  9. Sam Burns scored twice for Scunthorpe tonight. Two goals in four minutes.
  10. Can't comment on the game, as all I saw was Gateway 504 error. A good win, nonetheless. The refund is all well and good, but an explanation would help to soften the blow from my Saturday being ruined. I wonder if the same will happen on Wednesday? makes me wary of paying in advance.
  11. I think I am capable of drafting a small claim, even though I retired three years ago!!
