Selling you’re best players has never resulted in having a stronger squad as far as I remember.

You missed the angry sarcasm in my post Chaddy.

Why are Bayern offering £60m? Rovers hierarchy who have known the lad since he was a kid said he was only worth £18m. I mean, Wharton didn’t ask for a move and was happy to stay but it was simple to our soddin’ maestros - we were happy to take £18m because I assume they didn’t think they’d get more. Clueless tossers. (I mean we aren’t skint or anything because Waggott keeps telling us the finances are being looked after and the owners will continue funding).

and who exactly will make the decision on Broughton’s replacement? Very likely the same guy who recommended him in the first place.That tells all we need to know about this set up.

yet Man Utd’s midfielders couldn’t lay a finger on him.

There isn’t a manager that we could currently attract, who could bring success to this club - the way its run now. To me, it’s a pointless debate.

Don’t worry Matt, we’ve got the hundred to look forward to. That’s the priority, that’s where the money is.

It should resonate with the club that if we’d lost - as expected, we would have been relegated.

We are, you’re right. we are caught with the quality players on the books playing franchise cricket around the world rather than their county - and a lack of quality replacement signings/loans.

I remember the days when closed season was always exciting.

“We got an offer that matched our valuation, so we sold him.” That pretty much sums up Waggotts explanation. I can’t tell you how much that pissed me off. Ambition? None whatsoever.

Deserved red. managers can’t get involved with play.

If anyone didn’t know…. Freddies lads playing for Lancs 2nd’s. 16 yr old Rocky went on to make his maiden century.

I first went to Ewood in 1962. In that time I’ve seen some poor, poor keepers. These two though - Pears and Wahlstedt - are the worst two I’ve personally ever seen. Nor do I mean the worst two Rovers keepers. I mean the worst two I’ve seen anywhere. However, none of the players are to blame for the current situation. The club is run by incompetent people starting with the owners, all the way down.

We turned up today with no urgency at all. They thought they were already safe.

Absolute idiot

Pathetic

I’d be surprised if they knew anything about it. (In India, I mean).

The FA Cup died years ago when the top PL clubs started fielding reserve teams. The argument that it’s necessary to scrap replays to reduce the fixture schedule is not the true reason. The reason is that the European Super League is being brought in via the back door.

I seem to remember you didn’t rate him when he came into Rovers side in the Championship. Well, here he is playing every game for Palace and impressing almost everyone, central midfield, in the PL, at the age of 20. Not many do that Eddie.

I thought we were brilliant today. The tactics Eustace employed were the only tactics that could have won us that game. Well done to him and well done to every single player. They carried it off to a tee. I’d have given them all 10/10. We should be fine now. I wouldn’t expect that kind of performance too often though. The sheer determination, workrate and mental toughness can’t be replicated every game, it’s just too much to ask of our small group of players. Today though, superb.

Brilliant!

Without doubt, better to have tasted the riches. For me personally Venkys changed the way I saw Rovers. It shouldn’t have done, but it did. Things they can never do though. They can’t take away those memories of Ronnie Clayton running out of the tunnel with the ball under his arm. They won’t ever take away the memories of the class of Bryan Douglas. Nor can they take away Jack Walker taking on the biggest and best clubs in the country and beating them. That was some team at Man Utd at that time, but for a short time, we were better. When I get totally pissed off with the turmoils that we are currently going through, I’ll console myself with those memories. Even if the club went to the wall, Venkys and this crew could never take that away. Cherish the club as you best remember it.

With regards to big Sam, fans should learn there’s no such thing as crap winning football. If you’re winning games you’re ultimately defending better than the opposition and scoring more than them. You can’t continually win games by playing bad football. It’s what every manager is trying to do. . It’s all that matters.
