They will be happy enough lording it up in the Championship next season.

They are set to be a yo yo club.

I would prefer to be a yo-yo club than to be in our position. At least it guarantees its future.

But as the article says, it does make you wonder what its all about!

Maybe in future you just shun the season in the Premiership and return for the promotion season.

Saves you a lot of grief and dosh!

Me too re being a yo yo.

The PL is what happens when countries are allowed to buy clubs. 3 or 4 clubs will win everything and large part of me says WTF is the point of that.

I see on VAR that Webb wants VAR to check what refs are doing even more closely. That is going to be a disaster of epic proportions.

Is that even allowed under the current rules?

I'm sure there will be exemptions for certain clubs.

Interview with David Raya in today's guardian.

Grim reading for a Rovers fan. Doesn’t seem to feel any attachment to us as we’re not mentioned although he takes the time to mention how much he loved his time at Brentford, Stockport and Arsenal. The only reference I could see to us was when he was snapped up after a trial but we’re “not exactly Barcelona”. Fuck off.

They have rules? I always assumed it was just up as they go along and hence why Webb got his job as a most proficient spin doctor.

And yet he gave such a rave review of Rovers coaching staff, when he left.

There are rules - these being followed is an entirely different matter. 

I believe Mr Webb may well be a proponent of ‘there’s no such thing as bad publicity’

Those were the journalist words not Raya’s.

Dingle article translation =

It’s crap not being able to compete and losing every week, so we are looking forward to next season with our huge parachute payments when we get to win instead every week against sides that can’t compete.

That’s exactly what I thought too.

It’s  a very long article to basically say winning = good,  losing = bad.

I have heard there was extremely bad blood between Raya and Mowbray

[Mike E]

Don’t you just love it when Burnley do a Burnley?

Hardly surprising.

[chaddyrovers]

some very good entertaining football yesterday. The Forest vs Brighton game was a good watch. 

Thought City vs Liverpool game never got going in terms of good attacking football to watch for the neutral. 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Just reading a report of the Luton game - “ the outstanding Chiedozie Ogbene “ gets a mention. We should have been in for this lad a year ago.

Then a bit further on in the report we have “ the outstanding Thomas Kaminski “. Grr.

Ogbene did play very well. Great cross for their winner.

Kaminski made some saves but did come out for cross and got nowhere near it.

We are all revelling in watching Burnley struggle again in the Prem. But what would we prefer? To tread water as a mid table championship side season after season or to be a yo-yo team where every other season we are brilliant and every other(other) season we get thrashed every week. Serious question.

I know which I'd choose.

I know I’d not choose to be Burnley.

That's the difference between a club with ambition and a club that just exists for the sake of existing.

Luton needed a keeper, the Rovers needed the cash. As hard as it might be to stomach they are the facts. Lets hope the positions change in the near future.

[Oldgregg86]

The villa spurs game was a good watch.

never like watching the red rats win but that was some goal by garnacho. I even clapped when it went in

[Hasta]

If we had played Kaminski at the back end of last season ( the keeper who is currently starting to earn great reviews in the Premier League)  instead of the inferior Pears then maybe we wouldn’t have needed the cash as much a few weeks later.
