More importantly to me. I saved £50

It is as simple as that. If owners cared they would be doing everything now in January to try get guys in of quality. There's no fight from those in charge they seemingly are letting us be cut a drift like a dead asset.

Plus, the manager needs to leave Mr Blobby would get more out of them

This can't continue. We need to make it uncomfortable for Pasha and Rudy at Ewood Park.

Woke up and surprised no news yet. Maybe Rovers want to give Val a good Sunday rest.

The money is clearly very important to the regime. Withdrawing from giving them any is the only way that we as fans can have any power in this situation. Protesting inside or outside of the ground has been proven to be ineffective. Unless folk are willing to take it to the next step and get the games abandoned (something which people are reluctant to do, understandably) then this needs to be knocked on the head. The way the game has been set up we, as fans, hold very little powers when it comes to making decisions for the future of our clubs, heritage, community etc. Withdrawing financial support is the only tool we have.

Similar to the Premier relegation and giving Kean a new contract , the Authorities knew or had a good idea , but choose not to rock the boat , .Easier for BRFC to disappear to the lower leagues!..

The problem the regime faces is that the longer this situation continues the more and more suspicious it gets. I mean most of us have known for years that the fundamental metrics in football - results, points, performances, league positions, improvement, promotions etc. are absolutely and utterly irrelevant to the regime. I'd suggest you are deluded if you thing the owners or their stooges spend any of their time thinking about such things. But up to now their disregard for such trivial matters has been hidden away. Now it is coming clear even to the head in sand brigade and the wider football world. With 1 win in 15 and sat in the relegation zone there really is no more to say and nothing to hide behind there. It is going to look very suspicious indeed if they do nothing now. Some would even suggest that relegation is desired if they allow this untenable situation to continue where it wouldn't be permitted at any other club.

This was all so predictable (look back at my previous posts), all so avoidable. 150th year, only to be shamed like this.

By who? The two twats?

Genuinely think he'll be gone tomorrow reading between the lines, yesterday was last chance saloon, a draw may have saved him but the gun is cocked and loaded now

1000% this.

I don't think Mowbray could keep us up but someone could. In earlier years Neil Warnock or Big Sam might. Even Damien Johnson as caretaker could do better with the squad IMO. But we know that Pasha/Gestede will not get shut of VI. That is a very depressing thought.

They (as in Venky's) simply don't care. If they weren't entirely disinterested, they would hauling Pasha, Rudy, Owen etc. over the coals and demanding answers. They wouldn't persist with one of the worst managers in the club's history. No invested owner would sit back and let its asset be run into the ground. This is pure and utter neglect. We need to find what would make them hurt, that would bring about real change, especially if done perpetually until they come to the table, instead of them just doing whatever they want with impunity (like the past 15 years).

if he looks at febuary`s games he should be

Such a relief.

Regardless of squad talent, the players went into battle for Eustace. JE was one of the ‘lads’ and it absolutely galvanised the squad. He had Trav on the pitch who would walk over hot coals for his team mates. Ismael is the complete opposite. His personality is dull. He stands on the side of the pitch motionless. He walks off down the tunnel at the end. And I don’t even need to pass comment on Cantwell.

A very pithy analysis sir.

clearly the policy before the season started was to flog whatever value players we had,recruit some cheap replacements and just keep our position in the league, it was concluded there were 4/5 teams worse than us and we`de survive,that was the height of our ambition,unfortunately it`s flawed it looks like we are going to be relegated

I think Baradji did it too. or somebody else only not quite so egregiously as he pointlessly tried a cross to cover up for his incompetence.

The best price you can get on us to be relegated across the market right now is 13/8 The bookies now think we're going down. I don't know whether a win on Tuesday will shift that dial much.

They couldn’t even tell Mowbray if they were renewing his contract or not when he had about 4 weeks left. He wouldn’t touch us again.

clearly not up to this level ,i don`t think iv`e seen anyone who stands out as so lacking at this level and i`ve seen plenty of them in my time,they usually get half a dozen games and are quietly discarded,this fellow just keeps getting chances

We're gone. Reason being they will stick with the manager. He's been largely appalling since the moment the season kicked off (with a full squad and without one.) At first he didn't know his best 11, changed the back line every week with fit players, then he couldn't decide on a formation and persisted with a failing one for months. He hardly ever wins! His subs derail games. I've never seen anything like it and he gets away with it again and again. It's humiliating we haven't already sacked him.

Even given the abject ownership, disgusting club senior management, non-existent transfer windows, inadequate wage structure, injury hit squad, multiple games abandoned from winning positions, fan unrest and god only knows what other shit is happening behind the scenes, he's still a terrible manager and we'd be much better off without him.
