Always seems to be out injured .... so would fit in well!

If they come with £8milloon I’d bite their bloody hands off

Yes JHR and it reminds me of the pantomime when Pashas job was “ advertised “. we are living in an ewood world with lots of smoke and many mirrors with regular infusions of lies and deceit. By the way that Mowbray flag makes me want to vom . Any normal guy would be embarrassed by it .

If they were seriously looking at a sale and lease back of the ground as Miller 11 says, and they are thwarted by ACV status which was engineered by Rovers Trust then surely there would have been some dialogue with the Trust. After all , we have just been reading the manifesto of the Trust about protecting the long term future of the Club So either this is Just so convenient And it’s a case of hey ho ,as JH Rover rightly suggests or it won’t be long before they are blaming the Trust for putting the Club in this tricky position . If we are so dangerously close to an FFP breach having spent 1/3rd of our 3 year ‘loss allowance ‘ on Gallagher and. Brereton then I agree they should all be on the bus out of Ewood right now . I thought Venkys paid a kings ransom for Deloitte and KPMG to come in and sort this out and to avoid all this FFP crap ? Maybe it was not them but bank of India forcing it after all . whatever, it’s another major roadblock and when-you are already balls deep at £180million you would expect they are getting a little fed up by now with their baby . The numbers which have been reported tell us that We can’t be far off breaching FFP ( which we can all debate for ever ) but the point is we have once again pressed the self destruct button . You have to rather think that the plan WAS to sell Dack this January which as JH R says would have been an outrage to fans when on the brink of the top 6. Now they could watch him walk for free because by the time he’s fit again he will only have 6 months left on his contract .No wonder he was in floods of tears after Wigan- I’m surprised Waggott wasn’t too .

Where’s the surprise ? Everybody on here has watched this get closer on a monthly basis for 3 years . What have our hierarchy done to mitigate it ??? Blown £12million 1/3rd of the 3 year FFP loss allowance ) on 2 non scoring strikers .It defies belief . Management and ownership of our club is an absolute clusterf..k . It’s broken and can’t be mended I’m sad to say .

His goal record is very good but he plays left wing for the most part . As much as we need goals surely not gonna blow all his budget on a wide player with all the other obvious deficiencies??? oh wait ...... what the hell goes on in our scouting dept ??? More to the point we invest heavily in it , talk of extending it into Europe just as we run out of money and FFP is ready to bite our asses. It’s more like Gerry Cottles Circus by the week . still if the 3 match Ladies ticket offer goes well , we will be in good shape !!! Jesus Hector Christ .

Whatever ‘conversations’ means in mowbrays world you can reckon Evans getting done on Saturday (thus scuppering a possible transfer fee and saving high wages) will have put the skids under any transfer activity. Defenders aren’t coming. Sanctions are coming .

Yes , our scouting network at it’s glorious best .

We could always look to play a new style next season as this year we have clearly had too much possession ??

Well it's certainly an upgrade on the sticking plaster that is Williams/Nyambe . But we are still leaking goals at a fair rate despite him and Lenihan being well regarded and in my opinion we need a whole back 4 of animals who can defend like their lives depend on it and kick and scratch our way through tough games if that's what it takes. I'm sick of soft defending and silly goals going in which has been a symptom all through Mowbray's time here. Once that's done get a mobile rotweiller as our holding midfielder and only then can we start thinking about our system and options for attacking teams. Until then we just constantly undermine ourselves . A proven goal scorer however has to be part of that equation. As for putting Brereton at the top of league one as has been suggested - I don't see how a league one promotion contender can have seen anything at all which suggests he will score goals for them. We haven't seen the remotest indication of that or indeed anything else that he will bring to the party. If some one asked you what Brereton is or what his strengths are I would honestly be struggling. He doesn't even shine in U23's. I wish the lad no ill whatsoever and I dearly hope for his own sake he comes good but as I commented in earlier in this thread signing him for £7million was an act of gross negligence . I'm not even sure how anybody can have seen anything in his past which pointed towards being excellent potential. For the time being stand by for the ''we couldn't compete with what Charlton's new owners were prepared to pay Maddison''. Its far too early for us to be doing business anyway. We have about another 18 days and 6 hours before we enter the fray.

Beneficial , well you could make a case for that yes. Except these two are seriously incompetent .

And if he doesn’t which is a massive probability based on what we have seen ... then what?? i see us writing off £7million in the near future . somebody authorising that signing should be dismissed . Total Negligence .

I said during the game that if we somehow contrived to lose then his post match presser would be legendary!! The bloke is an utter moron. so too much possession for that team you were trying to turn into a .... possession based team??? feck off man you are insulting our intelligence . Just get your coat and retire to the bloody north east .

Yep 2-1 down . Shut the message board down quick . This is utterly shambolic by any standard . mowbray piss off now .

That’s like something off it’s a knockout where they are blindfolded with massive costumes on. Jesus bloody Christ you have to laugh

Hope so Merc - season over in 4th Jan , thrown away top6 in less than a fortnight and no money for Jan window !! The lies and deceit we are forced to endure as Rovers fans is above and beyond . still in Tony we trust ........ I’m just sick of it all tbh . I barely give a monkeys and it kills me to say that .

Is this where we chuck the man advantage by going down to ten men ourselves ??? heaven forbid we lose now but if it happened Mowbrays post match interview will be legendary

They won’t even know Dacks injured yet!

Fine Stuart , you obviously have more insight than I do . Like I said , not knocking the bloke and if what you say is true then I imagine he must be sat there scratching his head at the tombola and even more at the positional changes during games .

In no way am I knocking Damien Johnson but he’s been in the 1st team set up for quite a while now . So Is he agreeing with the approach we are currently taking or sat there day in day out saying nothing and having no input ? what is his contribution to this current mess?? Genuine question , I don’t know the answer . But if he’s part of all this then not certain why the clamour to make him number 1 . I see no indication that he’s changed / influenced anything yet . As for Lowe, Venus well they can just clear off immediately.

Best game??? Well I suppose he has just won us a free kick on the half way line. You don’t get much for £7million these days .... and we bloody haven’t!!

Great goal tbf - hides nothing though . Has Brereton gone off??? he offers us absolutely feck all .

They have created nothing and we are 2 down in 25 mins. Soft as shit . good old Ben , never quite gets to the ball but he tried , poor lamb. That fatigue thing really hurts us doesn’t it Tony?

Piss off walton - please red card him ref

Who didn’t think this was going to happen after the summer window horror , defenders are coming nonsense??? Answer: just Mowbray
