Ismael saying we’ve already identified a list of the players for January. Wants them before we play hull in the fa cup.

Lost 10 out of 20 games this season. 3 home wins in 19 since he joined. Appalling record,simply not good enough

Was this aimed at Ismael? HES THE WORST MANAGER IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP, does that spell it out clearly. I said before the 3 home games started, it was time for him to go.

He's the worst manager in the Championship, sack him, and put a caretaker manager in his place.

If my opinion had change, I would post it Mark. Think we are better off backing him in January and go from there.

Last time he played it out perfectly. Refused to comment until we won a couple of games.

This is a fact. HMRC and players get paid, no questions will be asked.

Its a shit show tbh.Anger and frustration right now off the scale.

Fair enough, that was the quote posted. I could have took it being about Ismael or Gueye to be fair. For clarity, do you still think Ismael is the right man for this job? Lost 10 out of 20 games this season. 3 home wins in 19 since he joined. No home clean sheets at home since he joined. Overall record is 10 wins, 7 draws and 16 defeats since he joined in February, and a home cup defeat to a side in a lower division. I think he has been a disaster.

You had this fella sussed months ago, not sure why you back him to the hilt now considering he’s no better…

There you go. They pay the wages and you don’t get a murmur out of local politicians or media. Fan groups are the only chance we have as we certainly have no allies anywhere else.

My point was perfectly valid.

Youve not answered my question. Youve just repeated (again) how the structure works, thats not telling me why it is beneficial to run like this.

I assume you know we don’t actually have any ‘philosophy’ as Eustace was a completely different type of manager from style to type of players he wanted to young players to who came before (and after).

In fact the local MP did refer to the club during the HOC debates on the Football Governance Bill. On 28 April he asked the junior minister to "join me in congratulating Blackburn Rovers on their outstanding community work, especially to support young boys and girls from all backgrounds in football ? Their commitment to inclusivity and development at grassroots level is truly commendable."

Bunting very lucky yesterday

The point being neither MP raise anything about Rovers ownership during any Footballing governance bill session or even culture, media, sport session. Why not try to the culture, media and Sport Secretary or sport minister to write to the owners? Even ask a question during PMQS and get the Prime Minister to comment on the record about it, even ask him to sent a letter to the owners?

Your right Matty and its f'kin galling.Many did very well from their connection to this Club. We need everyone on our side.

The ex-players don’t care, or certainly don’t care anywhere near enough. All more than happy to go into hospitality for the day, get a fabric cap etc.

Nope. I was clearly talking Gueye and the fact he hasn't impact any game this season positively given the comment I quoted

Yet again, we are back to this discussion that we had before.. A club management will decide what type of head coach who fits into club strategy/philosophy then go interview and appoint someone. So for example, you wouldn't appoint a head coach who didnt develop young players and bring them through if that's one of key part of your transfer strategy. The Forest situation was my point. You had a counter attacking head coach then you got rid and appoint very attacking head coach then with a number of games, you change again for a more pragmatic head coach. That's the sort of head coach that's suit the squad. Also your transfers, some new players have been like Hutchinson, Ndoye, Jesus, etc but they also sign players with a eye on next season and beyond.

You make a good point there tbh,not enough ex Players or Managers speaking out against these Owners.We could do with their help and support. Ewood is burning,talk about turning the other cheek,its galling to say the least imo.

Was this aimed at Ismael?

…yet he’d be the very first one celebrating new owners (after being consistently negative towards everything and everyone that ever tried to get us there).

You deserve Venky’s.
