Ive asked this. No response. 

Billy Sharp is on 20k a week at Sheff Utd. 

Graham was on 35k p/w at Sunderland. How much of a wage drop do you realistically think he took to come here? There are links on this forum to the 26k figure, if I wasn't on my mobile I would find them for you.

Temporary setback  

Nothing in there about being sorry. Interestingly, nothing in their about remaining fully committed either - that's usually their stock response. 

I doubt the owners have even read that statement, it was probably one of their advisors who approved it. 

I got the impression whoever wrote it was sending out a clear message to Venkys - "You must keep TM".

The owners statement is shameful 'The Owners and everyone at the club recognise and appreciate the solid backing of the supporters and thank them for this.' That can be read as the supporters are backing the owners, and the team.

 

As for the temporary set-back, they really think the fans are thick.

Work has already begun to make this happen and we will be making every effort during the forthcoming season to give ourselves the best chance to achieve this

 

 

Hmmmm why don't I believe this?

No season ticket renewal for me after 30+ years.

I'll be back when they have gone.

Probably Seniors final email.

Incidentally, the reply will have been "Thanks, you're fired by the way"

So you refuse to believe Graham is on £26k a week in the Championship but you're happy to believe a League 1 player is on £20k a week?

He'd still refuse to believe it. Like when a forum full of people are calling for Coyles head and he's arguing with them, then we get relegated. 

[had.e.nuff]

We will know how serious they are backing him when the retained lists come out.

I know this is a bit off but my mate played for Huddersfield 14yrs ago and he was on 10k then....

[Irishrover213]

On reflection the statement is issued because they know Mowbray is having doubts they think by issuing this statement and give Mowbray "assurances" similar to what lambert got in November that he will hang around.

Once the transfer window starts none of raos will be contactable.

Same crap different season

All the media have been reporting Sharp been on 20k since he joined them.

I said Coyle shouldnt have been appointed but he was. 

He should be sacked after Birmingham home draw if not before. But I said we need a proper plan who to appoint. Not spend weeks with a caretaker in charge. If Mowbray was appointed 5 games before we are safe and we would have been playing Championship football.

Radio Lancs special tomorrow night.

I suspect Ian will be on that. Alan Nixon has already been confirmed.

Not seen it but been told from a good friend that He slammed Venkys. These people r completely oblivious 2 the fact that they r the most hated people in Blackburn and possibly in football. 

BBC Radio Lancs are doing a Rovers special with Battersby and Nixon tomorrow at 6pm. I'm expecting fireworks

5 games exactly? After Birmingham but if before ???? 

Explain. 

You defended Coyle for most of the season. The odd win was more than enough for you to continue to be hopeful.

I bet Venkys are asking how much parachute payments are.

Meanwhile, on a lighter note, the statement had a pop-up ad just after it - for La La Land.

Thanks Chaddy. He does seem to say it as it is. How do you get a link? any ideas?

I take it 'Chris' is Whalleys finest, who got messed up at the Barcodes? Don't think I ever saw him play but he was meant to be a good 'un.
