Start this evening for Edmondson - score/update

The battle for who gets sacked first tonight? Anything but a West Ham win and surely Nuno is gone and rumours that Dyche already under some pressure

Hope Forest win tonight to push West Ham 7 points from safety and Burnley 9 points from safety.

Both Maresca and Amorim left/sacked because of disagreements with higher ups. I have read plenty on both with the overarching summary being that the powers that be directly or indirectly infringed on the first team boss's independent authority over team tactics and selection. Man U haven't won the league since 2013, Chelsea 2017. If both owners carry on as they are it will be a long time before either does so again. Chelsea's owners goals looks to be making money from player sales (I'm sure this plan was put to Venkys in the past) so will only buy young and aim to profit later. It does seem strange though as Chelsea are one of world football's biggest spenders so the market for sales is small, or to league rivals. Ratcliffe and his merry band of analysts running the show for the Glazers want to recreate the Ferguson years by stamping a "philosophy" and "playing the Man U way" onto the club. Good luck doing that whilst changing managers every 15 months, buying sub standard players, and isolating academy lads who made it to the first team.

The way things are going, we will be all getting misty-eyed and nostalgic for the days of K & G when we could at least attract international players to East Lancashire, instead of scrambling for crumbs from Chorley & Morecambe's meagre tables... Pointless (adj: having little or no sense, use or purpose) "retaining ownership of a once successful football club, whilst refusing to undertake any meaningful basic action in support of its operations, current position or future potential." e.g. Venkateshwara Hatcheries Pvt. Ltd. /Blackburn Rovers Oxford English Dictionary

Some might say they've been increasingly far more interested in the corporate coin than those on the terraces. Again you reap what you sow and if they've invested time, money and thinking into all that then about time they did the same with regular fans. However when you have an over promoted grifter suddenly deciding who he wants in the already sparse stadium and where he wants them you realise the issues we are up against. SELF serving, self protecting, career first ladder climbers and wage takers.

Kargbo and Gueye being number 7 and 9 for former premier league champions tells you all you need to know about how bad we’ve become under these lot

Just watched one of your tunes on YT in the Napia lol

It's mental considering the players that have worn those shirts....

To adapt from Gilbert O'Sullivan.....We won't..

Similar to Tavares as number 8 & Gueye as number 9!!

He'll be like a new signing when he's back though (whenever that is)

Excellent post.

I have to view it via browser so I can zoom in. I have all his books as well & find myself pinching the paper to make it bigger…🤦‍♂️ The infrequent Rovers mentions make them all the better when they appear…

Yes Pears to date has certainly ironed out the stupid mistakes and he deserves credit for that you can't question the lads character. It's a shame he can't improve the weaknesses but unfortunately as with many others at this level they have default settings that can't be removed.

I got bored waiting for the rolling around feigning injury like you’ve been shot but there wasn’t any. How the game I grew up with and loved with a passion is now completely knackered. The modern game is played by overpaid and over hyped nancys

I would say, "like we did with Duru"... but we didn't https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2024/may/13/duru-deal-extended/ Technically we hold a years option, so he wouldn't be out of contract if his move falls through, but it would have made more sense to extend his contract by a year first so that he still had 1 year + a years option if his loan to the US falls through

No chance of a boycott for a big cup draw because even if every regular stayed away another 10k part timers would just stroll up.

Kargbo as number 7 is genuinely mad!

Yeah he's had a shocker there.

It wouldnt make sense for his Swiss team to agree to just loan him out for the final year of his contract so he must have signed an extension with them

That attendance versus Swansea is absolutely embarrassing Will be interesting to see the real figures when the most recent fixtures are available as there will be some well below even that I imagine

If Ewood is award-winning these days god only knows what finished second, third, etc.
