Valérien Ismaël: Blackburn Rovers Head Coach
roverblue replied to DE.'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Even Ismael himself has said time for these sort of excuses is over. What you are seeing on the pitch is players that at this moment are not good enough to play at Championship level. They may overtime develop into something that is but I would argue we will likely be down in League 1 before that happens. -

How do you know he’s struggling to settle? He could’ve been down his local ‘spoons an hour after moving in for all you know. -

Does Morishita look that appalling? Scored winner at Watford away bet you didnt think he was appalling then. You always expected a settling in period for new overseas signings. Finding a home, school for their kids if any, etc. Just imagine if you moved to Japan with your family, just imagine how long it would take yourself and family to settle in. -
They keep on stating that they are not up for selling and have gone on record to say to stop sending them requests from interested parties. All very strange of course, given that they have no interest and the money pit that this is and is the reason, I am convinced they are hiding something.

Gestede is a shocking appointment, literally no experience or idea what he is doing just feeling it out day by day. He has brought a video game approach to the squad that currently is and will fail miserably. Almost all of these foreign signings look appalling, even the ones lauded as future stars like Morishita and Gudjohnsen look complete duds. Surprise surprise the only ones who look at the level are Abeiosu, McGloughlin, TGH and Miller all who have experience of British football already. Who would have thought (just most of us on here saying it all summer)! I don't rate Ismael but he has a very tough job, his record is terrible to date. The main concern is we don't score anywhere near enough goals to get points on the board. We need a manager who can squeeze every last drop out of these players and make us hard to beat with the ability to nick a goal or two from set pieces/counters. We have a giant striker who could be better used to this affect and Millers long throws which have been ineffective to date. Also Abeiosu likes to throw crosses in. Just play to the 'strengths' we have at the moment and then hope its enough to stay up. -

We've one of the weakest strike forces in the Championship, which makes us one of the favourites for relegation. Ill be there Tuesday, but it's becoming depressing. -
That window went when in the PL. The media coverage massively dropped. As far as the football authorities are concerned Rovers are paying their wages and bills on time, etc meaning they won't do anything. So how can we affect them? Not going then all they do is more cut to the budget? We just have to hope one day that someone will convince them to sell us or someone offered them enough money to sell us.

Totally agree Ian. There seems to be almost a resigned acceptance from the vast majority that we are battling against the tide having tried pretty much everything to influence change. Aside from the occasional organic chant I don't believe anything else will happen which is no slight on anyone who has been involved in protests and the like. I'm not even sure the owners are or have been aware of the unrest last season and purely a personal view but I would think they are happy with the way the club is run. I think they are shielded from any news of unrest by their man on the ground. Personally I doubt whether they actually watch the games and more. It's a real feeling of helplessness but as the owners they can do what they want. It's a sad situation when I was envious of the reports last week that Sheffield Wednesday could be served with a winding up order. For their supporters that could be the light at the end of the tunnel. For us there just seems to be an everlasting purgatory.

Musically it was a brilliant gig, but Al Stewart's voice is long gone (I was never massively keen on it in the first place, a bit monotone for my liking). The Glasgow crowd lapped it up though, as ever.

It's also very hard to make the new wave of fans see what's happening. You can't persuade everyone to agree, but I think most people that go now are satisfied with just going to watch the football regardless of the outcome. Personally I think we've missed our window to push for change en mass amd we are in the hands of the gods

With the side of the blue half being alternated from shirt to shirt? -
There are alot of Dolans in the championship we just happened to have our own and I for one was pretty gutted to see him go. When a player gets the ball you want to feel excited like something could happen, only player I get that with now is Alebiosu

The overwhelming emotion I experience these days is resignation to our fate. I can understand fully why so many folks have voted with their feet. It’s really hard to see any positives in a future owned by Venky’s. Loads of fans care but struggle to see how they can influence change. Those that tried are warned off by the club. Only a change of ownership can reignite this club now I fear.

Feels like fans pressure at games has dropped off. We were all in last season. I look at the Wednesday fans voices heard every game. Even had Leicester applauding them at one point we've even stopped chanting. I know Glen and Co are being careful now but what can we do now
