Jon Dahl Tomasson - Officially No Longer Our Head Coach

“Similar to what I said just after the transfer window, the lad has been completely let down and so have we,” the Welshman said.

“I personally or anyone from the sporting side has not heard a word from Blackburn, whether that is an explanation, an apology or what, I don’t know. I don’t think we would behave like that.

“It is complete mismanagement of a situation. We are annoyed at that and the common courtesy of not having a call or a text from anyone and I know some people on the football side at Blackburn as well.

“Let’s just say we wouldn’t treat a player or a club the way we or Lewis has been treated.

“Sometimes when you are on the other end of things like this you learn how not to treat people and that is where we are at. We won’t let Lewis down, others might, we won’t.” Steve Cooper

On the flip side, they "didn't let Lewis down" by immediately signing someone else and punting him down to the reserves, so hard to say how firm his morals are.

Well I never thought it would come to this, but as long as Venky's are the owners I am done with Rovers. I have been a fan since 93, but now sadly it stops. These owners are slowly killing my interest for the club. There have been so many many incidents since they took over, but these latest things...

I have had enough of these uprofessional owners! They show time and time again that they will never learn, and
nothing will ever change as long as they are still around.

I hope to "see" you guys sometime in the future! Take care!

Swanson out!

JDT to be named manager instead on a new contract with more responsibility for recruitment would be a very Venky’s move if GB has gone 

Where's the talk that Gb has gone come from?

Solskjær is only accepting a job who has the right project.

I like Solskjaer, but he's very much in the JDT mold so I doubt he'd last long here

Sad to see you leave us Swanson.

I'm teetering on this edge too.

Sorry to see you go. We all have our line in the sand and it differs for everyone. I may not be far behind you after 43 years. You can only take so much. 
 

When the Raos have gone hopefully you will be back.

Well this is the issue isn't it. 

 

43 years, if you walk away you feel like it's all been for nothing. It all comes down to whether you can accept occupation by the Venky cong. Accepting of course being a different concept to liking. 

Not being able to accept it, and not being able to change it, of course your mental health is going to take a massive hit. 

 

It's something I've struggled with myself. I can only hope this is the beginning of the end. 

Absolutely no judgement of course on anyone who does walk away. Put your mental health first

I think JDT had every right to leave the club last summer - without financial penalty - if the job he'd signed up for had been drastically changed, which I think it had.

Sounds very similar to why Lambert walked out? Except he had the hindsight to have a clause in his contract that allowed this and JDT hasn’t.

I would expect Alex Neill, sadly Warnock is off to Aberdeen and there is no way you could convince Big Sam to work with Venky's

[simongarnerisgod]

if the current regime is still in charge can you imagine the state of the season tickets sales next season if they keep the same price structure 🤣

[Tim Southampton Rover]

They'll probably put the prices up.

He did shit at Cardiff 

I said a queue for the Rovers job.

Are we any closer to filling the following vacancy??

Well, that’s the incentive for everyone to collectively pull together to rid the club of the vermin. Be that those in India or the useless shower of sh!t left ‘in charge’ at this end. It can be done. We’ve roughly six months to do it.

Good post, as was your earlier excellent post introducing the term, Venky cong.

Personally I've been in too long to give up, I'm too old to give up, time will do that anyway. I want to see the Raos out on their asses. It a reason to live.

I lost my eldest son 15 months ago to heart disease. I'd introduced him to Rovers at a young age and have the photos of him in the Rovers dressing room with Garner, Keeley, Barker etc, on the pitch with Bobby S.

He stayed a fan all his days and got to Wembley twice to see us win a cup and a playoff. Also to Wales to see us beat Spurs. I owe it to him to stick with us.

The vermin will be gone one day and I have family who I also introduced and still fans who will see that great day even if I don't.

I am still following my no swearing NY pledge. It's hard with these See You Next Tuesdays.

Do you think venkys will care? 

We've gone from 27,000 fans to 12,000 fans at matchdays in their ownership period and they are still here. I don't know what it will take for them to sell up or take notice of the fans

The only notice they ever took of the fans was the day that snowball injured their pride, and the boos dented their egos. Since then it has been one long ordeal both sides, except that they have only money in the game, not passion nor pride, like us.

RAOs OUT! VENKY CONG OUT!

Possibly for the better for you personally, Swanson, but I don't think I can ever come to that conclusion myself. Some fond memories from League One, so it's all about adjustment. Right now it's dogshite on and off the pitch though, and nobody can really blame you.

Sorry for your loss mate. I can’t even begin to imagine what that must feel like and it puts football firmly into perspective.
