Premier League

It would be tremendously funny if Edwards is shown the door before or once Wolves go down.

A big contract paid up and having to do nothing for it. 

Not a bad consolation prize.

Sure we were told money was important when a certain fella went to Derby.

Nah, that was because he wanted to be closer to home or something...

Rather have another promotion on CV and the opportunity to move onto a bigger club than money. You talk like Edwards is short of money. Maybe you are his financial manager the way you talk.

Im not convinced he would have taken Boro up either way.

And certainly, I dont think he would have then attracted a bigger club.

I think theres a naivety though about the fact that football management is still a job. They wouldnt do it for free and wont be so flippant about money just because "they arent short of money."

[RevidgeBlue]

Im with chaddy on this one.

Thought it was a strange move for Edwards to make. Other than a short term boost to his finances, couldnt really see any upside to it and he might end up making himself unemployable in the long run.

Who says he will take Wolves up after they get relegate given its complete rebuild with a new squad need and gelling quickly to get up, plus will the financial support be there to do that?

Who knows but promotion on a CV is better than relegation on it.

You act like he is great financial difficulty, feck me. Talk about naivety 

[Mattyblue]

No you’re right, people with money aren’t bothered at all about making more money.

[roversfan99]

I dont think I am the one who is being naive to suggest that money is still important to people earning well above an average wage.

[wilsdenrover]

If it wasn’t important there wouldn’t be any players on six figure sums per week.

I can't stand them and hope they lose every single game 'til the end of the season, but we really have nothing to crow about. Some people are saying on here there was less than 6k at Ewood midweek (don't know whether that's confirmed) and the atmosphere at Ewood is just as bad as it is at their farm this year. The Dingles might have lost 6 in a row but I've no doubt if they played Venky Rovers next weekend they'd absolutely run through us. I think going on about their form or attendances will just make us look daft. I'm more worried they'll still be a division above us next year, even though they're coming straight back down 😞

Maybe the rivalry hasn’t reached St Helens, or what it means, but that lot losing, losing well, gives me immense pleasure, regardless of the shit show at Ewood.

I'm from Blackburn and I'm well aware of the rivalry, I grew up with it, same as everyone else. But thanks for not patronising me.

Crowing about them being shite in the Premier League while we're shite in the league below and haven't laid a glove on them for 15 years is like pointing out your neighbour has a few loose roof tiles while your own house is on fire.

Why you on here then?
Maybe stick to moaning about our result today and let me enjoy that shower getting spanked in a 6 pointer at home 👍
