Brilliant from Carter and good finish.

Pathetic. Drop Travis now.

He should have started deeper. Tomasson still doesn’t know how to utilise him.

And Tomasson will line up the team bizarrely from the off, the players will be completely bewildered so take advantage before he takes an hour to change things.

What the f*** is he playing at?

I remember everyone saying how knackered Damien Duff looked. He just looked like that! He looked like that in his debut after 30 seconds.

I'll always remember him slapping Ian Wright on top of his bald head for feigning injury.

Just disappointing that Broughton has already said we aren't doing much business in January.

32 games for Rotherham in the Championship, 0 goals. 21 years old. 8 appearances for Rovers, 0 goals. And yes I get it, he's hardly had a run in the team but the problem is he doesn't look up for it either as a goalscorer, holding up the ball, in the air, bullying defenders. I was willing to give him a chance but he's now 23 and doesn't seem to have any attributes that will make him a success at this level. We need someone who can hit the ground running in January.

Bit harsh to shoot him.

We spent less than Utd too, an often forgotten fact. Be interested to know how it compared to the spending of Arsenal, Newcastle, Tottenham, Villa and Liverpool at that time.

Yes, and he's also long dead so I hope that paints an adequate picture of how disliked they are. A businessman like Pace couldn't work with our club/debt - 12 years ago maybe.

I don't think the club would survive admin, that's my fear.

No, because we'd be swapping our incumbent suspect billionaires with a seemingly unlimited amount of disposable wealth, for a suspect millionaire without any disposable wealth (in football terms). Unlike some of my fellow fans I don't want to see the club fall into administration.

Or an amazing through ball from Adam Wharton to split a defence.

I met Shebby Singh whilst Kean was manager, and whilst it could have been that there was some kind of dual ownership going on, I took it that Venkys just didn't want to pay compensation to a bunch of rogue staff. I've since read all the leaked emails and all I got from it was, why the f*** didn't Venkys just sack them and replace them with competent people? And at a guess I'd say it's because they didn't know any, and at that point didn't trust anyone outside of their circle of trust. I'm aware I'm probably adding more logic than they deserve. Some truly vile characters behind the scenes at Rovers back then.

I always took it they were shafted by vultures and were too stubborn and stupid to do anything about it, till it was too late. And their stubborness and stupidity continues to this day.

I was disappointed that we didn't sign any of Malmo's players in Summer. All our signings seemed to come from the previous scouting reports rather than JDT's contacts book. We missed out on that Anel fella to Sheffield Utd (you'd have thought JDT would have held some sway there), we didn't go in for Birmancevic and we didn't even try for the ageing Berget.

Just like Venkys. And they both use their wealth wrongly too.

That wasn't what I posted though was it.

You could have Himmler in charge and I'd still think he's preferable to Venkys, but we're comparing a disasterous 12 year reign to a disasterous 2(ish) years reign. At the moment Pace has overseen the sacking of the best manager you've had in modern times, and a relegation so he's not spotless. In other words we may be comparing different shades of shite here. Venkys are probably richer than Pace could ever dream of but what's the point if they don't know a thing about football? For some reason they are hung up on making money from developing players rather than getting a share of the Premier League spoils, even though it leads to them losing more money than they get back year after year.

Keeping John Williams was the main one along with Tom Finn and the rest of them. Allardyce had already said he was eventually going to move on, but whatever you do, you don't just sack him and appoint a random coach who's only been at the club for a few minutes. When Agent Anderson was working "unpaid" in an office at Brockhole, as he said in his Sky interview JW was sending letters politely saying... What is going on?! I imagine it's pretty unprecendent but as it's little old Blackburn Rovers it doesn't get taken into account. Yes you are correct it would cost them a lot less if they'd just carried the club on as it was going, but they had Wormtongue in their ears saying that the club could do better with different people running it.

No because he doesn't have any.
