Hasta Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Waggot is squeezing every penny out of the support he can do, but has suddenly decided to give away free tickets which Roves will ultimately have to pay for in Blackburn town centre.

CraigF Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Just seen the pictures of the last training session. Noticed that they’ve put pictures of Bererton, Davenport and Chapman along with Graham. Maybe Tony’s freshening things up? Would prefer Davenport and Chapman to replace Johnson and Downing in the first 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't know better you'd think he was deliberately angling for a pay off there. Surely a perceived 'nice', 'loyal' man of great 'integrity' would walk away !?!? I've said it before, I've never bought the public persona. IMO, the way he's hung our young players out to dry at times and some of his public utterances tell a different story. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simongarnerisgod Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 anyone with any creativity or pace who`s not manacled to mowbrays negative mindset might as well hand in a transfer request ,because you are never going to get picked,he would`nt start rothwell or chapman even if the squad was decimated by a deadly illness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also fits in with building a team from the back and giving us strength where we really needed it. Another major cluckup that one. The Rovers way is get your mates in and deal with your matey agents. Then we wonder why they can't put an actual balanced team together ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomphil Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 We spent ONE season in league 1 yes that's right ONE. Largely thanks to him we did but he was also captaining the already sinking ship that went down. Sick of hearing that nonsense now and if he wants to apply that logic then why aren't we now as good as Preston were last season ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should NEVER have been in League 1 in the first place. The only reason we ended up there was because of the horrific decision to appoint Owen Coyle. Mowbray proved when he came in that we had enough to survive, and in almost any other season 51 points would have seen us stay up comfortably. We romped out of League 1 without even playing well because our players were far too good for that division and didn't even need to be anywhere near their best to win most matches. We literally sold nobody from a team that got 51 points the previous season in the Championship, bought the best player in League 1 and then a bunch of other players who were pretty much all playing at Championship level before they came here. Downing the only major exception I can think of off the top of my head. Even with all of those advantages, and I believe the highest wage bill in the division by some disance, we still had to settle with finishing second. Grateful to get out of League 1 at the first attempt, but we had a lot going for us and were far too good for that division. It would have been an epic and unforgiveable failure if we hadn't gotten promoted. I think Mowbray pretty much said that himself at the time, so to now bring it up as if we're a newly promoted lower league team getting to grips with the fearsome Championship is nonsense. Stop coming up with ridiculous excuses and just admit this is not good enough! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHRover Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Probably straying off topic here but I keep seeing people on twitter and Facebook telling moaning fans to 'get real' and face reality that we're a small town club in the Championship and that the Championship is littered with bigger clubs who we are destined to struggle against. Then I look through the list of 23 other clubs and ask myself which of those I would consider to have a sizeable advantage over us in terms of stature/size: Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday, Derby, Forest, perhaps West Brom. The other 18 clubs are either smaller or similar to Rovers in stature and standing. Its only our ongoing self destruction and lack of proactiveness that is now seeing these clubs catch us up and overtake us whilst we tread water with a diminishing fanbase. PNE, Wigan, Huddersfield, Hull, Barnsley, Middlesbrough, Stoke, Birmingham, Swansea, Cardiff, Bristol City, Reading, Luton, Charlton, Millwall, Brentford, QPR and Fulham are not bigger or better clubs than us. Mowbray and Waggott will try their best to convince people otherwise with little comparisons in the paper and sly descriptions of 'huge' and 'rich' clubs but they're trying to revise history and reality to suit themselves. Nobody has a devine right. I accept the first 4-5 clubs and those with parachute cash have an advantage of sorts but please don't make out like we are plucky little minnows struggling in a league full of big boys. It simply isn't true. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
