Elliott Bennett, I wish he’d have grown up beyond playing in a school team. Always playing with ten when that useless sod was on. Outstayed his welcome and still getting his gob involved. Captain shit-tastic.

2 days later and no apology or resignation. Shameless. If anyone think TM’s contract isn’t all that, you’re obviously wrong. Venkys don’t want to pay him off and he doesn’t want to lose it.

I’m not disagreeing with you but Mowbray doesn’t make it easier for them. I think we were 3-0 down and our formation was 3-3-3. It was almost as if Mowbray was taking the piss out of the goals tally for the opposition. But the reality is that Mowbray appears to be having the footballing equivalent of a nervous breakdown. He’s managed to go beyond full Mowbray.

I think I’m having posts removed unless my browsers are playing up. Not sure why as I’m being careful not to name names. But the jist of it was, we won’t get better owners till we’re an attractive club. And with the mountain of debt and baggage all we will attract are vultures right now. Mowbray has had more than a lot of more successful managers. I’d like to see venkys throw their money and free reign over to a decent manager. That’s all. Bit of a catch 22 I know.

If that’s not going to motivate them to demolish Sheff Utd I don’t know what is 🙄

Brilliant.

Classic Tony bullshit no idea ass head steal a wage anything goes and who cares I’m untouchable. That’s what I think was happening there. Much like the weekend where we were coasting 2-0 then he went to a 9-0-1 formation and almost lost 3 points. And no one knows wtf was going through his head.

I can’t believe they’ve labelled last nights game as highlights on the official rovers YT channel. What’s more unbelievable is I watched it. It was worse then I remembered. I’m so glad I missed the first half last night. How I wish I’d missed the second.

The best hope right now is to strike lucky with a manager. I can’t see any other way. We either get lucky or the club falls into the abyss.

Be great to have a whole nation wanting a manager out. TM likes making history.

Ratty was on a million per year plus bonuses. If I remember correctly his championship salary wasn’t lower but actually a bit higher (and written into to contract when he took the job) - £1.2m, am I remembering that right? A wages rise for relegation 🙄

The Venkys leave, we go under and the real vultures circle. No one with good intentions will buy the club in its current state. There’s so much more debt and high salary people to pay compensation to. That’s why I was hoping for a lucky break, we get promotion and when the inevitable relegation comes we at least offload some of the debt and make the club an attractive proposition once more. As it is the future looks very bleak with or without them. I’m sad to say I think the club is well and truly f***ed unless another Jack Walker comes along and he was one in a million.

I wish I could vote minus numbers for the manager.

If anyone shrugs that off they aren’t a Rovers fan. How can they see the club damaged like that? Same people who defended Kean no matter what and we’re fighting with their own.

I can’t see us getting a result after last night. The players looked absolutely shell shocked and at any age that’s going to have a psychological effect. Combined with the likely prospect of having another lightweight defender in the team (Magloire or Carter? 😮) and Sheffield Utd knowing that if you come at us we capitulate like that, I’m dreading another mauling.

How many wins in 40 games is it now?

But hey, Big Ben's doing well, only 2 points off the play offs, Tony is taking us on a journey. Who cares about the spiralling debt, constant decline of the squad, the couldn't give a fuck attitude of the owners and the often forgotten fact that pre-Venky's we were a comfortable mid-table Premier League Team and much envied as one of the best ran clubs in the country. Ben's playing for Chile.

Never forget. He resigned from other jobs for less.

For himself.

I didn't get contrition, it came across to me that he couldn't care less, business as usual, these things happen. About as much contrition as getting a drubbing on...

I'm so angry I can't photoshop.

The first relegation, being beat at home to Wigan was a pretty big low and it feels like it never stopped getting lower. The Rat and Del Boy having Sky Sports in their pocket, Defeat to Burnley, Shelfy and co, Owen Coyle... Anything else has been a momentary distraction.

Is there another club as dysfunctional as this where the manager can do whatever he wants without reprisal? Only one other bloke seemed to enjoy managing the club with complete freedom to do what he wanted, I won't mention his name.

Never forget, he's had Clarkson playing the false 9 role. TM obviously thinks he can just throw anyone in there. Just like pretty much every other role really. We've had Gallagher on the wing, at full back, midfielders playing in defence. Centre halfs playing full back. The guy has completely lost it.
