"The Frenchman replaced John Eustace at Ewood Park in February, eventually taking them to within one place of the Championship play-offs last season." A lesson on how phrasing can distort reality. We were in the playoff positions and he took us out of them. That description from the BBC makes it sound like he guided us to the brink from the outside. Can't complain with Ismael's response to the letter, mind. Correctly pointing out that the issues run much deeper than his tenure and isn't just about disappointment in the current campaign. Granted you could argue he's saying that to shirk his own responsibility for current fan unrest, but at the same time he isn't wrong. -

You can come up with hypothetical examples of players we might be able to borrow from Wrexham, but the people who sadly are employed by our club make things up as they go along. -

"I can't complain that any of the problems I speak about internally aren't taken seriously - sometimes we want things to happen quickly but you have to accept sometimes the rhythm of things going in some kind of direction." Sounds like jazz not a professional football club -

But you dont take into the market of who is available and not. Plus match fitness and UK based. For example, if Wrexham's Striker Ryan Hardie is only available for loan given the fact, he is championship experience, know the league and can hit the ground running. Surely you would be interest even if it just a loan or loan to perm deal? -

I'm trying my best to get sacked just like at my previous clubs but nothing i do (or don't do) seems to do the trick... -

How can you judge Adam Owen when alot of work will be done behind the scenes which we won't see. On Gestede, I think we need experience DoF with knowledge and contacts in the European and world markets. Gestede hasn't renewed enough contracts of key players or even up and coming players Montgomery and Pratt. That is a massively mistake. Is he solely responsible for transfers, no he isnt, so I dont totally blame but the transfer team(Gestede, Owen, Ismael, Cairney) need to look at what works, what didnt work and what could be done differently. -

I hate apps but this google wallet is incredible simple. Works on phone or with ticket as long as you have the bar code. New technology is with us whether we like it or not. Works on android phones too. -

You think that's bad - i'm only watching matches on TV because i bought a season pass and got Viaplay on a special deal (so feel obligated even when the match is selected for International broadcast) 😁 -

"I have to say this (managing Blackburn) is completely different to what I have experienced - very challenging but it's deeper than just the time I have been here," Ismael told BBC Radio Lancashire. "It's still Blackburn Rovers, we want to see them successful so it's the same job for me and trying to get the most wins we can. "I have to say it's the most challenging experience (of my career) so far." No shit, and unfortunately, no surprise to us either -

I think VI is cleverly disguising our true intentions - definitely scouring the markets for 2 maybe even 3 tining forks and a squeegee... Dependant on the market (ie if Aldi have a special on or not) they might turn to the LCC and discuss the possibility of loans... -

I was talking to a Millwall mate of mine earlier, he was telling me its £38 for him tomorrow, is that right? For a lunchtime kick off, on TV, 200 miles away? If so that is bloody scandalous Rovers... -

And it required Paul Senior to do the firing - something that, arguably, could be construed to have cost him his own job/position 🤔 - Today

Taking what was said before a ball was kicked, it was suggested that we had a stronger squad than last year. In total crap, as we know. -

Heard it all before. 90% before pre season? Dont believe a word of it. Loans? Maybe we will go from not wanting any to having our full 5 quota. All part of the "project." -
