Come off it. To piss you off even more he was hugging the car park chap, receptionist and tea lady on the way in and nothing wrong with that. He was treated appallingly by the new owners at Brum, he'll suffer the same fate here too.....

Nobody is asking you chaddy with respect.

Lads quality at this level, get him signed up, we need all the help we can get. Whilst we are at it, get Gallagher signed up too, we've missed him badly whilst he's been out injured.

Sometimes in life the cause is bigger than the consequences.

Equally as important as the 3 points yesterday was the show of dissent in the stands, it certainly improved my mood seeing the banners on show aiming this latest fiasco at the clowns at the top table. Well done to all concerned. VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

Brilliant - We need these ****s out of the club.

A 3rd series if The Bear is set to be filmed later this year, this news on the back of its success at The Emmys. I've started to watch the first series, superb stuff, catch it on Disney+ (Thanks Islander200)

Shout out to the 1200 Plymouth fans making the 800 mile round trip to Sunderland today. Superb effort.

Why did his style of play suit us last season and not this? Do you not think a crippling injury list and zero budget has played a major part in our failings this season? Or how about not replacing key players that have left over the past few years? Some of the football in the past 2yrs, at times, is the best I've seen in over 20yrs watching us. Could he have adapted his style to the usual mundane shite seen week in week out in Championship? Maybe, did I want him to, nope.

I'm surprised it never cured that insomnia pal, I watched the second half, like watching paint dry.

Agreed DE. I'd also put the Sheff Utd FA Cup game up there. Ok we lost the game, but the lead up to that tie, the ticket sales flew off the shelf, arriving in Sheffield to see thousands of Rovers fans was sight I thought I'd not see again. The match was scintillating, the result not so much, but to see over 6000 away fans at Bramall Lane, we could have sold 10,000, just proves this club still has the pulling power, we just need new ownership for the fans to come back and that will happen, its only a matter of time.

Well one things for sure, Eustace ticks one of the key components coming into this job, he's worked with bonkers owners who don't understand the game. Imagine sacking a manager who has dragged the club from relegation candidates to playoff contenders in little more than a season, then having the foresight to replace him with Weetabix head! Welcome to the funny farm John, I wish you all the luck in the world, you're going to need it. VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

This club will rise again my friend and when it does, you can take you place at Ewood once again and do your good old mum proud.

I didn’t go against QPR because the bastards sold Wharton at the first opportunity. I won’t be going tomorrow because the bastards have forced a good manager and a good man out of the door. They can shove the Newcastle game too, I’ve given my tickets away. Of course I hope we beat Stoke, but as fans we must try to get these bastards out of our club, by hook or by crook.

Absolute class act, far to good for a club run by these rats. VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

This will be the narrative in years to come, much like "Lambert was lining up the Celtic job", which was also bullshit. The owners pushed both through the door with lies a deceit, its as simple as that. VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

I loved his honesty tomphil, wasn't scared to speak his mind and held those above him to account on broken transfer promises. Fingers crossed on NDA, I hope he comes out and slaughters them.

Excellent post Tony. Best manager under this lot by a country mile and they found a way to bollox it up. He took them by surprise last season almost finishing in the playoffs, that having lost key players in the summer too. They couldn't allow that to happen again and here we are. I wish him all the best for the future, he's been treated appallingly by the club, a club I don't recognise any longer.

Not without a transfer budget Josh, but I understand the sentiment. Any new manager coming in has zero budget, it’s all heading one way.

His cheeky smile seems to have lingered longer with you than it has with me 😁 We'll see how this ends up.

I didn't see it, but even if I had, right now I'd see the bigger picture. We have lost a very good manager due to the club being in the gutter and I expect us to be relegated as a result, forgive me for not celebrating his departure.

My thoughts on Allardyce are well documented, but I'd have him in right now, he's perfect for the shit we are in.

He was forced to play academy players nowhere near ready, he was forced to play players not up to the Championship standard, injuries have hit us massively. Look what he did in his first season before funding was pulled and several players walked for free and were not replaced. He will go on to bigger and better things, its clear he has something special about him as a manager.

It won't in our house islander200. As soon as the offical announcement comes, our tickets are going in the bin and we won't be going again until we get a change of ownership. The only power we have as fans is to withdraw matchday support, thousands already have, many more I'm sure will follow. VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

I saw Springsteen last summer, tickets started at around £60 if memory serves me correctly, I'm paying more to see Richard Ashcroft in Halifax later in the year! But I agree with the sentiment.
