Kids are cheaper, on and off the field and are likely to have never seen it done properly before. Therefore can look up to the likes of Gestede and he can say whatever he wants.

I console myself, with knowing that the people I have got to know, through attending matches and also their love for the club, are still in my view, what the club, is all about and not the people running it, who are in it for nothing other than selfish reasons. Let's face it, one of the major decision makers, has refused to play for the club and now stand accused of being a bully around the place and the other has links to the agents, who seem to have made off with millions. They will be gone one day and the sooner the better.

Just imagine the remuneration he has banked for generally being a failure...great if you can get the gig.

Brittain's exit was telling on the manager front, had worked with him previously and was still desperate to join Rob Edward's side after a phone call. He absolutely has to start getting more wins but I'm not sure it's what he's being measured on. In fact I'm not sure he's being measured on anything at this moment in time.

We have a tee shirt to give away also… Sign up today for just £1.99 to have a chance to win…👍

They shouldn't settle for anything. Everton were punished within the rules if I recall.

Good article, but I suspect it will be a relegation place that the 3 points could cost us, not a top 6 or promotion spot.

Yep. Trying for £50m. Finance expert Stefan Borson expects the case to settle at some point for around £10m. The PL aren't keen on the litigation as it's a bad look for the League. Roll on Rovers plus team denied promotion by Ipswich v the EFL.

I suspect the latter.

'Alignment' claxon again!

He is either gullible or full of bullshit.

It remains to be seen who we appoint for that. I am not too sure if many are aware, as I have not seen it mentioned anywhere, but here is the new player care officer. Not too sure what was wrong with the last one mind, but perhaps others may know.

Player care at first-team level is different, but the focus remains the same: building genuine relationships so players and staff know you’re there to support and progress with them. 🇪🇸🇳🇱 Pre-season gave me the perfect chance to do that, with the Spain tour and trip to NEC Nijmegen. Both experiences helped me get to know players as people, their families, backgrounds and preferences - and made the transition smoother. 📝 A big part of my role has been leading on summer signings, from arrivals to inductions. Being a trusted contact, especially for those moving abroad, has been something I’ve really enjoyed. Helping players feel settled off the pitch is key to them performing on it. 📈 It’s also been great to welcome the FA, PGMOL and PFA into the training ground, with exciting conversations around personal development that I'm sure will grow across the season. 😁 Highlight so far? Our first league win away at Hull City - proof of the hard work across the environment paying off. 🙏 Huge thanks to everyone at Blackburn, external organisations and my friends/family who’ve helped me settle so quickly. I’m motivated by how aligned we are in building a culture of excellence, care and professionalism - excited for what’s ahead! ⚽️

We are today 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/ They are also advertising for an "emerging talent coach" for the women's team, who will be contracted to 2 hours a week

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
