  2. For someone who earns in a week what some people do in a year, his sulking is very tasteless. If my employer gave me an astronomical pay packet just to run around most mornings I would think they were pretty loyal. A lot of footballers are so detached from reality and it stinks.

  3. The loyalty was the 2 year extension on a good wage, which he didn't warrant. Where was Mulgrew's loyalty when he ran his contract down at Aberdeen to sign for Celtic on a free. There wasn't any because by signing for Celtic he progressed his career and it is the same now for Rovers for us to progress we need to move on from Charlie Mulgrew.

  5. To be fair, Ben looks 10 times the player he was last season. Just a shame about that chance

  6. It's not irrelevant because of FFP. You are concentrating too much on what has been spent, and ignoring what revenue is being generated. Income is massively relevant. Now on previous form, your next response will be to say "other clubs ignore FFP and get big lawyers in so it's OK, Rovers should be doing the same" Which is wrong on so many levels. Firstly, risk. See Sheffield Wednesday. Secondly, ethics. See Derby. Wayne Rooney wearing the 32 shirt because a betting company basically financed that stunt? Thirdly, integrity. You seem to think that Rovers should flout the FFP rules just because it's possible. Well it's possible to go to a local rave tonight, no face mask, no distancing, no care about the impact of behaviour that is socially unacceptable. Whether or not the EFL are competent at enforcing their shit rules is irrelevant for me. All 72 clubs sign up to them and I'd hate Rovers to join the ranks of the cheats.

  7. I am absolutely DELIGHTED that everyone feels exactly the same about Mulgrews tweet. Charlie, what a mahoosive bell end you’ve been. Seem happy enough to take your £20k a week though. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!

  8. Well if it wasn't obvious before the Doncaster game, a new leftback need to be signed asap!

  9. Decent player but when he can only play half an hour every six weeks it's really not worth the cost imo. The modern day Vince Grella.

  11. That statement is true in every walk of life. I think you would be a little naive to believe otherwise.

  12. Is this the guy who is sponsoring us?

  13. I’m surprised no-one mentioned the best thing about it: the sponsor is a company that makes things to improve lives, not ruin them. Proper blue trumps trim details to me.

  14. Some players over the last few years have genuine cause to gripe at how they have been treated. Mulgrew is not one of them.

  15. And if a PL club had come straight in for him the morning after that header he’d have jettisoned us quicker than you could’ve said ‘loyalty bonus’... that’s the game.

  17. A great point, the club still seems to operate with a Blackburn with Darwen mindset, when I would wager the percentage of our season ticket holders/regular walk ons with a Blackburn postcode has dropped markedly over the past 20 years as more and more Rovers supporting Blackburners have spread across Lancashire. The re-instalment of our old branch network, modelled on the very active and popular London Branch should be a priority, yet I doubt it’s even on a radar...

  21. Leaves a sour taste that. Could’ve left highly regarded and as a good ambassador for that period in the club’s history. Now he’s a shite centre half that whinges about “loyalty” because he isn’t good enough while still being one of our highest paid players. Look at the way DG and Richie have left. Pissing on the club here, Mulgrew. Some captain.

  26. Again selective memory when it comes to Rothwell. His through ball to Armstrong in the build up to Breretons open goal miss was great. He also played a lovely driven pass opening up the game to the right winger. I'd like to see him have a run on the left of the midfield 3. I think our issue may be who plays in the centre of the 3.

  28. A Bell highlight was the airkick that the iFollow guys said should be replayed to the Benny Hill theme. Does he get an assist for that pass that created a Donny goal He plays and looks like he's on medication

  29. Thankfully 4 of the back 5 today will not be in our first choice backline this season. Hopeless at the back. Brereton is starting to look like a top player. Probably our best player today. Dolan looks like the real deal. Get him in the starting 11.

  30. Dolan might play himself into the 11 come the first league game. He's quick and hungry and looks like he has good technique. Not particularly sure why PNE let him go...

  31. Even against Donny we still have to score three to win a game. Defenders needed. It’s arguable we need five. One starter and one sub at CB. Two left backs. A right back.

  34. It's ok. Lots of good bits but not together. Not matching the cuffs, collar, sponsor, and the Umbro stitching lets it down. If they were all red, it'd be superb.

  38. Surely you'd think he recognises that he isn't able to play at a championship level anymore and needs to move on if he wants to play regular football. Feels like he's throwing his toys out of the pram a little bit here. Not like Mowbray is the one controlling the club Twitter account?

  40. I agree that by national standards Blackburn is a small and relatively poor urban area. Good news for us is that a massive portion of our home crowd doesn't live in Blackburn. They live across Lancashire in North Lancs, Fylde, South Ribble, Hyndburn, Rossendale. Include those areas and it isnt just one poor town but many towns including quite affluent areas. Partly an exodus of people from Blackburn and partly our glory days of the 90s led to thousands of fans in these areas who still travel to games. Sadly I am not aware of any efforts the club makes in these areas to maintain or grow numbers. Meanwhile competition increases Our prices are mid range for the Championship. Lack of businesses to put money in? Have you seen how many industrial groups are based at Whitebirk, Bamber Bridge, Darwen, Shadsworth? Very few of them have deals with the club. We don't even employ a commercial director.

  41. We are neck and neck with Preston though, in fact they have been above us in recent years. They have a better manager, better recruitment so that’s why we are looking up at them. we are leaking money like oil, hence why the chequebook has now been put away, we are relying on freebies, loans or bargains. We won’t be making any 3-4 mill signing this season. you mentioned those clubs you believe we are bigger than but still in a head to head with a signing, we will often lose. Between money, location of club, fan base etc etc we are not one of the leagues heavyweights by any means. We are where we are- slap bang in the middle of the league for finances, league position, reputation some folk need a reality pill, I’m all for optimism but really

  42. I don't think people truly understand how small and how much poorer Blackburn is as a town economically compared with the home locations of most other Championship clubs. Rovers do really well even now in the ratio of crowds to population size but Rovers' crowds are not only smaller than the Championship average but prices paid are below average also. Where this gets really painful for Rovers is on the commercial side where lack of businesses able to put in the sort of money other clubs get is dramatic. FFP has not gone away despite covid. Cases brought against other clubs show the League are applying pre Covid rules still. Remember we were going to be breaking FFP when Dack was unable to be sold in January. Management and owners throughout the League simply don't know where they stand relative to FFP in the current circumstances. One morbid thought is that other clubs are therefore hit far harder proportionately by zero gate and match day commercial income than Rovers are. Paradoxically I therefore bet Waggott and Mowbray are in a better position in this transfer window than at least half the other Championship management teams.

  43. The gaping holes in defence and goal make it even more astounding that anyone authorised TM spending £12m on two average front men. Especially when they don’t seem to fit the system that he wants to play. Madness!
