We are advertising for a new "Team Operations Manager", whose role includes "being responsible for all logistical administration at the Senior Training Centre for all senior training centre staff including coaches and players." That seems to have a bit of overlap with a "player liaison officer" doesn't it? https://www.rovers.co.uk/club/job-vacancies/

Bowyer did a cracking job when he came into Burton last season. Kept them up from a seemingly impossible position. However red hot favourites to go down again and they are struggling this season.

At least it was an exciting summer though.

We're also the joint, 2nd lowest goal scorers in the league. Sheff Utd are the lowest (mental) but they will overtake us in no time. Worryingly, we've only scored 5 goals in 6 games and 3 of those came in the same game.

I agree on both counts. The problem is an ambitious coach brought in to do the best job he can for the football club would be pushing behind the scenes for better players, and improved budget, better structure. JDT and JE clearly both did. I think Ismael is complicit in allowing the squad to be decimated. I think this was stipulated to him as the plan when Rovers employed him from off the scrapheap, which is why if results continue as they are I won't give him the slack that some may think he deserves. He's replaced Waggot as the third stooge.

Let's just say, his face fits and that's the criteria right now sadly. I understand that we have a new player liaison office too, whose face, also probably fits, as there was nothing wrong with our previous one.

Why would any CEO or club award a 3.5 year contract to a manager with Ismael's dismal record (Barnsley excepted where even there he reaped the reward of the previous manager's work) ? Or even employ him at all? He's clearly a dud and the only conclusion, stated by others previously, is that he was available and cheap By the end of the season in May he'll have been at Rovers about 15 months, which will be his longest of any club in his managerial career. And will he be sacked if he leads us to relegation - of course he won't

It is a definite job for the boys. Those thick fans will never notice and if anyone kicks off, we will threaten them will legal action, or ban them.

🤣 No mate, got caught at a good angle!

That buzzword. Development. That's what they want our expectations to be across the club, rock bottom.

If ever two paragraphs that summed up his career.

No solace to be taken from that arbitro...It was THE worst defeat for Blackburn Rovers fans, total humilation.

It’s pitiful and you have to feel sorry for the girls being sent out to flounder but we are treating them like 7 year olds. The official account tweeted how the application and attitude was there for all to see like somehow that’s what we should be pleased with

They have destroyed, and will continue to further destroy, everything about this once great club. The only question is how much longer it continues and what state it is in by the end. Hopefully we still have a club left to rebuild from but I wouldn't approach that with confidence given the amount of damage done up to this point and a continuing refusal to leave.

Our heavy defeat wasn't the worst of the weekend.

Can confirm the shirts are incredible quality, very pleased 👍

Just feels so damn hollow with these Clowns at the Wheel...those running our Club into the ground dont deserve to bask in the glory of our proud past.

Blackburn Rovers have paid a heavy price for their parent club's decision not to bid for a place in the Super League. The subsequent loss of key players led to such a weakening of the team that they have been relegated from the Premier League after four years in what was the top level of the women's game. Rovers' fate was sealed in the final match of the Premier League season on Sunday with a goalless draw at Barnet. This consigned them to the Northern Division 12 months after they finished seventh in the table, above Birmingham City and Bristol Academy, both of whom are now playing in the WSL. The Blackburn club secretary, Gemma Donnelly, said: "It was very disappointing that we weren't able to bid for a WSL place after being involved right through the consultation process but the [men's] club felt they could not offer us the financial support required in a league that wasn't a proven entity. The above is from 2011. Quite some going to get both mens and womens teams relegated within 12 months. On the above the same happened again as this summer, the players were told not to worry, all given dossiers and the presentations etc and at 11th hour it was kaboshed. Everything we needed to know about this ownership that trickles through to the mens team eventually which is why everyone should care about how the womens team are treated. For context Burnley Women were in the 6th or 7th tier, Rovers were in the Prem and THE women's club in Lancashire and one of lesding teams in the North West of England, alongside Everton. The mens teams, as we know. Rovers were in the Prem averaging 25k , Burnley championship 14k average. These bustards care not 1 bit about our club. What we are witnessing is shameful.

Ismael's managerial career to date, starting in 2014: Nuremburg - 5 months and 14 games Wolfsburg - 4 months and 17 games Apollon Smyrnis - 3 months and 1 game LASK - 14 months and 50 games Barnsley - 8 months and 44 games WBA - 8 months and 31 games Besiktas - 7 months and 19 games Watford - 10 months and 41 games Average tenure - 7.3 months Average games - 27 Rovers - 7 months and 19 games (and counting). Within a few weeks he will have eclipsed his average tenure at a club and with another 8 matches will have matched his average games in charge at a club. Most of the above decided to sack him - infact the only one he walked away from voluntarily I think was Barnsley to take up the WBA offer. Gestede and Pasha in their infinite wisdom decided to give him a 3.5 year contract.

It is less than a month to the next FF on the 20th October. Shall we ‘open a book’ on whether it will be postponed and also the reasons / excuses given? I bet it is odds on the FF will be postponed. The reason will either be a flooded pitch, or the Club are working on what to organise for the 150th anniversary.

That was absolutely the reason

Maybe it was Waggott leaving that gave Pasha an opportunity to downgrade?

I could add at least another 5 or 6 names to that list of Pasha, Gestede and Ismael. We are employing some dead weight who would not be tolerated in any other private sector business. However employing yes men and women serves a purpose when the top dog does not like to be challenged…..you can see that with how they treat non employees.

I was told his debut was delayed as he had a holiday booked in Ibiza and he just never showed up again. The last they saw of him was when he was pictured signing on (along with two pints of lager on the table with the signing on forms).
