I would hope that there is something in the TK transfer to give us a bonus if Luton stay up. Does anyone know?

Some good points made on JDT today and although varied are all perfectly valid. I am in the JDT fan club, but can fully accept some of the criticism about him from some posters today.

I fully agree. There is no manager getting g a tune out of 3 of the starting lineup today. The keeper and right back were more of a hindrance than a help. If that was a one off fine, but that’s more often than not. Ennis is not a championship standard striker and his German replacement may as well bid auf wiedersehen to us all now. Yes JDT has his faults, but how is he supposed to make a silk purse out of some of these?

I didn’t say that. I am sure it did, but the guy is working with a hand tied behind his back. I’m sure you can see that too.

I actually do see that happening.

If I was him tonight I would give the owners and Waggott a piece of my mind. He was not brought in to make do with what he has been dealt. When you look at the first goal today, you have to wonder how far we have sunk, when our previous keeper goes for peanuts to a team who were playing in the conference not that long ago. Today was embarrassing, but not as embarrassing as the shell of a club we now are and so far removed from the club that this famous town was once so proud of. Ruined by chancers and I see no way back anytime soon.

That’s as poor a half as I’ve seen this season. Very insipid totally lacking in energy.

I’m watching on TV and seen 3 replays. Never a yellow. Commentary team said we are giving up tackling if that’s a foul.

He was my teacher in the eighties was Ted. Rugby mad too and I know he played at Blackburn RUFC. Very brave too, as I know he carried on working after his MND diagnosis.

I bet you know the late Ted Cooper mate.

Good luck today guys. I can't be there myself, but will be watching on Rovers TV with my son, daughter in law and a couple of his mates are going. I know you have put a lot of work into this, so hope is proves to be the success it is looking to be right now.

Would anyone be prepared to sign a vote of no confidence in Waggott. Given the fans takeover on Saturday, perhaps something can be drawn up and made available somewhere on one of the stalls. We the undersigned, as supporters and by default custodians of BRFC declare that we have no confidence in the current CEO and would therefore like the owners to remove him form his position. Below are a number of his failings that we consider to be harmful to the club and furthermore have put the very future of the club in grave danger. 1. Over pricing of the season tickets for several years. 2. Over pricing of match day tickets and made them difficult to purchase. 3. Overseen a huge drop of in both season tickets and tickets for the casual supporter. 4. Been unable to provide merchandise in the club shop, including replica shirts for the supporters to purchase 5. Allowed the general maintenance of the ground and pitch to decline to unacceptable levels. 6. Seen the club get involved in a very public and embarrassing failed transfer, due to incompetence that could well have cost a premier league place and the riches that entails. 7. Allowed the contract of players to expire and therefore see potentially millions of pounds in transfer fees leave the club.

We are definitely a bottom 6 team, so full credit to the manager for him getting us much higher so far. We will not finish in the bottom 6 either, despite him having a hand tied behind his back. The blame for the state of things lies squarely elsewhere, so hopefully the negative comments made in here about JDT are born out of frustration, in particular after the drubbing we received. If the manager moves on to a normal club, he will succeed there in my opinion and I think he is the real deal.

I don’t think they will have any other option than to write the debt off, whether they like it or not. I sense the authorities in India are going to come down on them like a ton of bricks and force their hand. It will either be sell it or administration and I don’t think it’s far off.

You are right. There is a big problem, in fact there are two very big problems, the owners and the CEO are strangling the club and knocking the stuffing out of the fans.

It happens both ways this. The two that immediately spring to mind are Gestede and Santa Cruz. Great for us, but so far as I remember poor elsewhere.

If I was a director or decision maker and saw the Rovers 0-3 win there, I would be straight on the phone to his agents. We played a perfect tactical game that day and given the shackles on him, he is performing way above the level he should be right now.

I was going to change it, but think I will leave it now. I am a little rusty with the spelling anyway.

That’s absolutely brilliant and why Rivets fans are the best in the land.

Almost certainly and they never went away. Put yourself in the owners position. The have thrown over £250 million away as we speak and now they are prepared to go to court to get permission to thrown another £11 million away. If we believe what we are told, then they are still prepared to go back to go to court to get further permission, to throw even more away, because they are honourable people. What a total load of shite and if you wrote that in a fictional novel, it would be rejected, for being too far fetched. These people must think we are all morons.

I fully agree, he certainly should not be offered a new deal and I think he is already very close to, if not the highest earner at the club. I genuinely had this from the horses mouth when I asked the question about flogging him and was told in an almost mocking way "Who would take Gallagher?". The big thing here now, is the money we paid for him and the amount spent on wages, goes completely against our current aims (or lack of them I guess) to buy them cheap and make a profit. Granted he was bought a while ago, but he will be leaving for nothing, that is almost a certainty. Whose fault that is, is up for debate perhaps.

Or in the case of Sam Gallagher, roll, up roll up, get your lovely half season ticket and if he is fit, see SG play his final 10 home games for us, before he leaves for nothing and we prove yet again that buying cheap and selling at a profit, still isn't working either.

One thing I haven’t mentioned so far about my meeting, was that Waggott asked me if I was recording the meeting. Why he would ask that I really do not know, but perhaps indicates he has something to hide.

The craziest thing in all of this, is how would developing a couple of players now and then, make more financial sense than having a couple of seasons in the premier league? As we all know, we have been in touching distance at least twice, at Christmas, in the last couple of years, yet managed to blow any chance, by not getting the window right. Last seasons fiasco, seems to fly in the face of the narrative, unless the O’Brien attempted signing was a red herring. Why go for him and why offer to sign him permanently, if we went up, if the only ambition we have would be to develop him and sell him on. Someone seems to be sending out contradictory messages here, but what for?

We have sacked a few actually. Coyle, Berg, Appleton, and the twit you mentioned, wasn't sacked, he resigned and sued the club.
