Jon Dahl Tomasson - Officially No Longer Our Head Coach
den replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Well to be fair, it shouldn’t be happening. At a club where everyone was pulling in the same direction it wouldn’t be happening. It’s up to Waggott to sort it out. -

Hmmm. There was a sudden, drastic cut to rovers budget Philip. You’re talking about a change to process. That hasn’t happened overnight. -

It means absolutely nothing. Its a bit pathetic really. -

Just to clarify on the money being quoted in the first article. It gives this figure £73,96,069 It’s written using the Indian method of quoting money. If you look closely, it says £7,396,069. That’s how we would write it. It isn’t £73m. -

I’ll have a go. 1 crore is ten million. Ten million rupees is £95000 therefore 65 crore is £6,175,000 -
I don’t think anyone at Ewood or in India, has the will to do anything - about anything - any Rovers manager says. They're all just going through the motions. Sticking to their job and not going beyond it. In industry fine. Not in football though.

Yes it does matter at this point. It gives everyone - players, manager, fans - a sense of hope. It’s a hell of a lot better than being clueless from K.O. I/we’ve seen this before though. You can play some really good football but eventually if you’re not winning confidence suffers and performances fall away. This is where the transfer window was so very important. There has to be enough quality throughout the squad to win games. The backing to ensure that isn’t there. That’s the gamble that the owners have taken. They have decided we don’t want, or can’t afford a recognised championship goal scorer. I’ve no doubt that they either don’t understand the importance of that or they just don’t care anymore. JDT will know that as do pretty much all of us. Don’t know why I bothered posting this really. It’s so bloody obvious.

I have to wonder why a 23yr old fast and powerful goal scorer is still playing in the 4th division of the German league.

Heading ability won’t hold a midfielder back Tyrone.

Anyone scouting players will look for any weaknesses in a player. Weaknesses that can’t easily be addresses with coaching or experience. Weaknesses that could stop a player reaching the top. Anyone seen any in Adam?

I was impressed today. I thought we played really well. Watford will think they were unlucky but rovers were never outstretched or outplayed IMO. Defensively we were organised and mistakes were rare. We were caught out with the balls inside Brittain a number of times but that was about it. When you’re trying to make judgements on a player, watch him away from home. Today showed up Leonard’s frailties. He has a lot to work on. Dolan, well did he ever find another team mate when he was on? I was also just saying to my son how Hedges does a lot of running with the ball but rarely creates or scores. Within minutes, guess what happened! Got to mention Adam Wharton again. I don’t think I can remember the last time I saw a young rovers player with the passing ability that he’s got. First time passes, no first touch needed. He can do everything. Some of the things he does, some of his vision is Messi-like. He’s not there yet. He could contribute a lot more during the 90 minutes and he could reduce the number of times he concedes possession, all things any manager would demand. If you can’t get excited by his abilities though, then I really don’t know what you want. Good show today but real team strengthening required up front.

I remember him too.
-
Fantastic
-
I didn’t know him but it’s an incredibly sad story. Had he been Ill?

Had safari on both iPad and mobile for years. So can’t see it being that. Will give it a go later.

Hi guys. On my iPad everything is working great. On my mobile however, if I’m not signed in I can see all the forums but when I do sign in the fan zone disappears. I’ve tried everything I can think of at my end. Any ideas? Thanks.
-
Bare bones. That squad screams out for more quality.
-
It’s what I console myself with. Whatever these owners or anyone else at Ewood inflict on this club, they can never take those memories away. Im sure there are plenty of fans who will look back in later years and think the same about seeing us win the Premier League.
-
Rovers fans used to gather in the Darwen end then. They would wait for the toss and make a dash to the Blackburn end if rovers were kicking that way. Then at half time they would make their way back again. No fencing or barriers to stop them.
-
I was. started off on the Darwen end and changed ends with the team. I was 14 at the time. Wow.

I gave you the teams and scorers above Jim.
