Actually, it could be another Fulham, we are devoid of everything you need to be a proper Professional football club!

I am not sure about that, I think they over achieved by many folds last season... It happens in football, Burnley once finished above half way!

How about Kendall, Moran, McKenzie and McNamee? Just fancied something random

Got to be all the ‘Mr Blackburn Rovers’ for me: Bob Crompton, Fred Pentland, Jack Walker, Tony Parkes. I had to put Pentland in for variety and the fact I can’t split Dougie and Ronnie.

The Forest fans are already signing "you're getting sacked in the morning" to Ange after an embarassing defeat at home in Europe. Marinakis is a prick but to be fair, his ambition and spending you cannot fault. But hes had a shocker replacing Nuno with that clown.

I don't get to go to games often as I don't live near Blackburn anymore, but made it to the Charlton game last week. It cost us the best part of £100 for the day, and then we proceeded to basically do nothing for 90 minutes. The entire second half you could barely tell what was happening because the entire game was played at the other end of the stadium! That's not a "football isn't as good as it was", it's a "the football is so uncompetitive that there is no entertainment value whatsoever". It was my partner's first away game and despite my talk of how fun away games have been for me in the past, it was depressing. 30 minutes of half-assed chants following by 60 minutes of almost complete silence because there was literally nothing of value happening. It'll be a miracle if I ever persuade her to go again.

I'm going to go 0-3 on this one. The change would have to be seismic for us to get anything out of this game. That said, it is absolutely vital that we do. Going into the break with 6 points and then coming back to an absolute spanking from Coventry would be the final blow to what ailing confidence their might be both from the players and the fanbase.

The way these alledged custodians of the club, have destroyed Jack Walkers legacy, i cannot blame anyone for not attending. I myself still have a season ticket but after 56 years of attending, that will terminate in in May, enough is enough! There is no heart, no soul in the club! For gods sake put the club up for sale or administration tomorrow!

Hopefully there is a modest mutual agreement amount signed into his contract otherwise he'll not be going anywhere even if he tries to get himself sacked.

Just think if our wonderful owners had gambled on he, Smodicz and and a good centre forward? But no cashed out as soon as possible... We promised to uphold the legacy of Jack Walker. The lying bastards!

I thought he looked like a w-nker.

I think the terrible summer window sums up the issues we have in basically every area of the pitch in terms of selection. In defence, we had one of the better back 4s in the league last season. Now, as a result of one solitary injury to a player who is always injured anyway, we are left with 2 centre backs, one of whom needs nursing, and both are left footed so we will be left with a full back at centre back again. No wonder we look so likely to concede. In midfield, we brought in 3 players and none come close to filling the "replacable" Travis void. The loanee we desperately took last minute from the B team of a side in League 1 last season is the default pitch. The other 2 include a player in Tavares who is terrible and another who the other day on the team photo still has his foot in a brace. Attack is as problematic an area as any. We simply do not look like scoring very often despite signing numerous players. We signed 2 in De Neve and Henriksson who often sit on the bench despite needing a goal in favour of not using all of our subs. Hedges after the excitement of his seasonal goal has regressed to the mean and the less said about Kargbo the better. Morishita has shown flashes but often has struggled to get involved. And we will likely go back to our very average striker having seen our fancy new one having been happily waved away by his Belgian club show his inability to control a ball.

Not old enough to know who 'Iley' is, but I'm pretty confident that Ince takes this title. He was generally a bit dim, but clearly tactically inept and living on the back of a highly successful on-field career. It's no coincidence that he's faded into managerial obscurity.

Instant promotion, won't happen under the French Oaf! I think he will be gone by February 1st..

How about a full Ewood against the likes of Liverpool,Utd,or Rangers...show us the respect our History deserves.

Ince genuinely seemed like he had no idea what he was doing. After he left us he sank back down the divisions. I dont know Iley - before my time. But for all his shortcomings Ismael does seem to know the basics of being a manager.

Players in my lifetime: Clayton, Douglas, Garner, Shearer

Its obviously far beyond that the football "isnt as good as it was." Thats a provocative and unnecessary angle. Its a shame from both sides that people have to "feel sorry" for those making the opposite decision to themselves.

I love going, can't imagine not going. Obviously, people can do what they want, but I find it sad that they've stopped going just because the football isn't as good as it was.

I wouldn't be to sure, it's rovers, result stands.

In what sense? It's a real shame that something that was such a big part of people's lives has been destroyed by a bunch of corrupt children. What's worse is that this was allowed to happen by the so-called governing bodies.

It could also contain a 'you won't get sacked if we are relegated in season one' and 'bonus for instant promotion from league 1' clause and bonus ...

I reckon the attempt to switch to an academy heavy model was a desperate move because of the money issues otherwise they'd have plodded on with TM or similar. When that proved trickier than they thought with all the hassle with JDT and Broughton which will have ended up costing more anyway some bright spark (or shadow) then presented the sell everybody we can model. Reduce wages, replace with cheaper, pacify the agent involvement with a wad of commission then pray we stay up and grow these so called assets for a season or two. Then repeat. He just needed to get the right people in place first and get rid of all the opposition then install a cheap yes man with Championship experience and no relegation on his cv.
