Championship 23/24
Mashed Potatoes replied to goozburger's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Luton got the lowest attendances in the Championship in the 2022-23 season - and were promoted to the Premier League. -

Perhaps the most sensible club to go from the Premier League to Division One in recent years. -
Championship 23/24

I don't recall ever seeing the question answered. What is the answer ? Why would somebody buy a premier league club to then want it out of the premier league as soon as possible with all the financial problems that follow ? -

If they don't want the Premier League spotlight shining on them - for some unexplained reason - why buy a Premier League club in the first place ? -
John Eustace - our head coach
Mashed Potatoes replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
His record was that he inherited a team that had gained just 5 points from the previous manager's last 11 games - a spiral clearly leading to relegation - and was charged with the brief of ensuring that we were not relegated, a task which he has successfully accomplished. Hardly the grounds for criticism, I would have thought. -

No reason to pick out JDT. In his tenure as manager we took 33 points from 29 games - 1.14 a match. After he left we got 20 points from 17 games - 1.17 a match. -

Possibly other than the Academy which seems to do well; that may be an area of the club in which the owners don't interfere. -

Do you think that getting 5 points from his last 11 games, most of them with Wharton in the team, was a major managerial failure by JDT ? -

I think if you make comments like "we really are the pits" that should be on the basis of something that has actually happened rather than your doom laden predictions. -

And yet we got 69 points in his last season, the same as JDT got the next. -
I can't recall seeing the name Diamini before ?

His predecessor would have stayed sitting down, with a gormless smile on his face. -

We meet the unemployed contortionist who's having trouble making ends meet. -

No, I have no evidence as to his level of popularity. I wondered why one poster had described him as unpopular and it seems that was his own personal feelings towards the manager, which of course he is entitled to. He hasn't been manager for more than a couple of months or so ; I would guess most supporters will want to give him a fair crack of the whip before they decide. -

I think they have to go for the win - which may possibly suit us. -

What evidence is there that the manager is unpopular ?
