Eustace must have personality behind the scenes he doesn’t show as I don’t know why there’s such a love for him from players. He comes across really bland and a bit vacuous to me. Mind you that probably describes a lot of footballers too.

how do you know?

These are rumours out there. I think what a certain poster has posted could be great possibility. Something deffo happened after Ismael answered a question to media honestly and we seen the articles from Elliott Jackson about the Travis situation. who are these some fans and who has changed their opinion based on this account? How do you we haven't him a proper wage? what a proper wage? maybe his wage demands are too high for us? or maybe Travis wanted a new challenge or go and play for Eustace again given how close their working relationship was. Yes there is a reason, we have wage budget and that the budget and we won't go over the max wage limit we can offer. refusal to comment? what are you going on about RF99? Plenty has been said about it and tbh not much to add to that. This isn't the right thread to discuss the fans forum and the minutes. if the club need to be criticise then I will do so not by you telling me to do so Yes I am big on communication with head coach answering questions when asked or Rovers club management like the CEO and DoF doing interviews with the Rovers media team, BBC Radio Lancs and Elliott Jackson with the LT.

Liverpool for mine, by a large margin.

Players obviously like playing for Eustace because hes a very good Championship manager and a But he doesnt have this gravitational pull to the extent that people make out. Money and challenging for promotion will out rank that. Ipswich wont let him go anyway.

In such situations, people usually say gave him a pre season. There is no sign that anything is coming together, that they know what they are supposed to be doing, that they can do what they are being asked or that they are even playing for him.

He’ll go derby if he was to go, he loved Eustace

Guess u make a valid point. But he's capable of so much more

Wharton doesn't hide. Opposition teams avoid playing near him and Adam has the self-discipline not to leave the centre of the park which is his territory.

Return of the Roon?

I doubt Parkinson will last long even if they weren't particularly struggling. Now that they're at this level they'll find it very difficult to resist bringing in a "big" name with all the attention on the Club.

football is a simple game,but those two make it so complicated.not even their players can understand it

Agreed. Think they've won either five out of twenty or five out of twenty one under him. Hope they keep hold of him for as long as possible personally. Karen Brady launched a very spirited defence of him last week saying amongst other things that he was a very "modern" manager and as such it took time for him to get his ideas over. What a load of twaddle. They've picked a complete dud and don't want to admit it.

Journeying up for this game. Looking forward to being back at Ewood

He’s on a rolling contract too, so not exactly a financial issue either to pot him if necessary.

I never even said that they should sack him. The idea of him just automatically being given the season is a ridiculous suggestion. Theyve spent big money, if they are languishing near the bottom then I suspect (although we dont know what these owners will do having never been in this situation) they will probably pull the trigger, especially considering the money spent. I wouldnt be surprised to see Parkinson underachieve, his track record at this level is poor. Different story when youve got by far the best/one of the 2 best squads in a poor division.

Again, doesnt have to be either or. They need both.

We’ve no idea if their owners are loyal as they’ve strolled up from non league on huge budgets, so they haven’t had to make those decisions. They struggle this season and that’s a different conversation.

Exactly shit fans

It's very funny. For me Potter is the English version of Russell Martin and Martin the Scottish version of Potter. (I know they're both English but Im sure everyone gets the point)

You’ll get nothing off rovers fans, they’re a real soft bunch, majority pathetic. People won’t like this but that’s exactly what majority of our fans are. Not got a shed of passion in them, venkys ass lickers/apologists, any other club would have got rid of these owners long ago.

West Ham need signings. not sacking another head coach. West Ham need their owners to open that cheque book for some signings

This is the Adam Wharton thread what else do you suggest we discuss in it? edit LV beat me to it

But you have actually chosen to read the Adam Wharton thread!

not yet? its 3 games in and the owners are backing Parkinson with more money for signings. Yes they putting together good squad which will need time to gel so why on earth would you sack Parkinson after 3 promotions in 3 seasons. Their owners seem very loyal and I don't see them sacking him if they don't go up.
