Amazing as just under a week ago I saw lots of people saying he wouldn't come to a smaller club in the Championship. It's almost as if they know fuck all and just wanted to run Rovers down.

Agreed but it's their club and they should know what's going on with it. You'd think after what happened with the spiv and his Scottish sidekick they'd have at least kept an eye on proceedings and boned up on the rights and wrongs of football clubs. If rumours are true the only time they exert any sort of energy towards the club is if someone questions whether the manager is doing well or not, which ends in an angry sacking. The average pound shop has a more logical management structure. Their management structure seems to have been adopted from Queenie in Blackadder 2.

I still have no idea why Venkys bought Blackburn Rovers FC if their plan was to basically run up loads of debt and sell off its assets. Have they benefited from it in any way?

Over the years there's plenty of footage of him being interviewed with players playing on those training pitches. Another statement to feather his own nest rather than better the club.

I'm not and haven't been for a long time. We've got owners who don't take even the slightest interest in the club, a chief executive who was brought in at the suggestion of the manager, huge debts created by the owners and a manager who changes his tune depending on whether his job depends on it - and he's supposedly the best one they've appointed! Arguably the worst aspect to Venkys ownership is that their management recruitment policy only appears to benefit a certain sporting agency. This gives us a very small amount of choice and very little chance of picking the correct man for the job. After over ten years of the above it's very difficult to take any developments in a positive light. If someone told me they were maintaining the floodlights I'd be convinced they were going to replace them with a couple of lamps from homebase. What can they do to change this perception? Show some interest, watch the matches, appoint a manager we can get excited about, perhaps employ a chairman who can oversee matches and not be afraid to voice concerns should the manager be failing. It's not rocket science, I mean if I went and purchased a basketball club (I wouldn't) I'd try to understand how the business worked, who the top managers were, who the best players in the leagues were. (edit - not because I'd want to tell the manager his job, but because I'd want to be able to have a fair idea of what makes a football club work). Push the manager to buy some decent defenders... Jack Walker would have done. (edit) What did Jack Walker do when he appointed Kidd and it all went wrong? He sacked Kidd then bollocked the players for getting him sacked. Not because he was some tyrant but because he had something Venky's will never have - PASSION. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-blackburn-sack-kidd-as-pounds-30m-investment-fails-1129338.html Then he went on the pitch and apologised to the fans. He didn't need to with what he'd given to us, but he felt he needed to. Then he appointed a proper manager.

There are people on social media who think so!

So another slimy opportunistic parasite in charge of the club.

Very similar to Rovers. What's the difference in spending between the two clubs?

I can't see them bringing in Hughes. Robins or Pulis maybe.

Whether it is or isn't, Mowbray is damned if it is, damned if it isn't. He's either managing good players badly, or they are bad players who he has assembled.

Unfortunately he started badly by saying he expected Rovers to be promoted this season. I didn't, but I expected us to be in and around the top 6 places and an improvement in the defence. An improvement all round really. We seem to have a better squad and the same results which can only point to the only constant which is Mowbray. The only thing going up is the club debt. Savage and Sutton admitted they hadn't seen much of Rovers but started mentioning facts like we've scored a lot of goals. You'd have thought the caller would have mentioned the lack of improvement in the defence being the problem - for over 2 years. Spending a lot of money on ineffective forward signings (that he continually played out of position) whilst neglecting a woeful defence. Perhaps then they'd have understood where he was coming from. To just say I expected promotion doesn't tell the full story.

Take that in a heart beat but you have to wonder if Hughes is still up to it as apart from City and Stoke he failed miserably. Has a lot to prove though and still relatively young.

More sound bites for the owners.

With his history I'd like him as far away from the club as possible.

4 wins in 15. He left Coventry after a run of 10 games without a win. Give us a break like you did Coventry Tony! (though don't leave Venus behind this time)

There's a huge list of them on Facebook welcoming it. Some even saying downscale Ewood too.

Mowbray could have if he knew his best 11 and stuck with them, and stopped tinkering, stopped playing players out of position. He's good at nullifying our own players.

The journalist he was speaking to should ask him, "Are you saying it's our fault that Nyambe broke down?"

At least Bowyer was an honest bloke, he was just out of his depth.

For a performance related manager the team plays some awful football. It's like saying you're a classical musician then getting out some spoons.

Fair enough Tony but could you let us know when you're going to begin.

Right now I'd take Bernie Clifton and his comedy Ostrich.

Cheap and improved manager suggestion?

It's not worth it, anyway you'll never get to India in a Pandemic.

I think Dack's benching came out of his mouth too. It certainly wasn't because he's not match fit because that means nothing to Tony and his Tombola of shit.
