One things for sure, the focus from everywhere now will be on Waggott, Suhail and Gestede. Will they stay away or will they attend. If they attend what will happen? My guess is that they’ll attend as Normal. Then what?

City claim they aren’t doing that but my ST holding mate sits next to other ST holders - and at one game their seats were occupied by Americans who had paid £400 each for their ticket. The following day those Americans were going to watch Arsenal as part of a package.

If no one was bidding his true worth, we shouldn’t have sold him. You know….. we were completely in control of the price that he went for. It was nothing to do with what anyone was prepared to pay.

I watch it on TV. Never seen it live. Lewis did well.

Slightly off topic but at Man City from next season, the only fans who will be able to buy a season ticket will be existing ST holders. Any newcomers will be able to buy a flexi ticket. That means that prior to every home game those fans will be contacted (or maybe they will have to contact the club) to see if they were going to attend the next game. If they were, then all well and good. If they aren’t then the club will sell their seat for that game to someone else. Any flexi ticket holder who misses a certain number of games without telling the club they weren’t going to attend those games will have their flexi ticket taken away. Man City say that around 3000 ST holders weren’t attending a game for any given home game and want the right to sell those empty seats again. The future?

“Rebuild for next season”. It sounds like it’s a plan. It isn’t. We aren’t rebuilding, we’re trying to salvage from the wreckage of the 15th season of Venky’s ownership - only this time there’s hardly anything left to salvage. There isn’t a base to rebuild from. and the dwindling fan base will be completely ignored. Nobody at Ewood or in India has a clue how to turn this around. Not a clue.

Neither of them continually spouted garbage either. They didn’t blame individuals in public nor did they tell the fans that the team played well when they put in an awful performance.That’s the point. When they spoke you listened, you didn’t laugh. maybe it’s obvious to some but not others.

You can usually tell a dud manager just by listening to his media interviews. If the fans think he’s talking shit then the players will undoubtedly think the same. I don’t remember the likes of Clough, Ferguson, Dalglish, Shankley etc, etc coming over as being useless.

We’ve had poor teams before, - very poor teams. I always had hope though. Now I have none. How can anyone have hope? Nobody has faith in the manager and the team now doesn’t even show the basic necessities for success. The top man at Ewood has zero ambition and wouldn’t know a good manager or a good player. He thinks we’ve just had an excellent Jan transfer window. Half the team will walk away for free and there’ll be no money to replace them, despite us having mega rich owners. The absent owners have been here for 15 years and things have gone downhill from day one. There’s nothing to make me believe that trajectory will change. It’s just another day of moaning but honestly, the fundamentals for success just don’t exist.

Season after season with that awful feeling of hopelessness. Struggling to find words not used for year after year. Waggott and Venkys the cause of it all. No matter how bad the team was tonight, it isn’t their fault.

Should we just stick at nil and go home?

I beg your pardon?

Is this girl commentator a Stoke fan?

Is this meant to be a comedy show? Never seen anything like it.

How pathetic.

Just shows to me how little they understand Rovers fans. there’s only one way to increase attendances and that’s by sustained success on the pitch. Once fans become disillusioned about the club they leave. It doesn’t matter what price season tickets are. When they leave, they’re gone. They won’t come back. Trying to entice youngsters to come down to Ewood to replace those elapsed fans - rather than be armchair Man U fans again relies on success on the pitch. That doesn’t happen overnight either. Wish John Williams was here. He understood the fans. The worst single decision Venkys ever made was to allow him to leave rather than listen to him.

Rovers fans aren’t the most dissenting group of fans. All that will happen is that ST’s will fall to their lowest possible level along with the gates. All the local kids will become ManU or Liverpool fans. Just as it happened after the 1960 FA cup final tickets affair. In other words, Venkys will take us from being a successful Premier League club back to where we were at our lowest point. If they don’t F off, that’s what will happen.

Waggott and Venkys. shouldnt be in football.

What a mess this club is.

I’m not sure what you’re basing your view on, that we wouldn’t have got more for him. The longer we’d have kept him, the more his talent would have become apparent to every club. There would have been a queue a mile long for him.

Anyone used this? Stayed over in Liverpool last week and have just used it for info on the exchange flags buildings. A taxi driver gave us some preminary info on the links between exchange flags and Bletchley Park during the Second World War. Gro 3 helped quite a lot. I was impressed. It does feel at times, as though you’re talking to another human being.

He’d have left Rovers at some point - but at the first opportunity, to the only buyer, at such a low fee, when he was happy to stay. what a bunch of tossers. None of them should be in football.

Unlike a few previous appointments, he’s coming in at a good time. We’re very well placed and now we need that extra boost to lift us for just a couple of months. Currently that’s all that matters. Go for it Valerian.

Its results that matter, not the style. You can’t play shit football and get promoted. If you’re winning you’re playing well.

Successful managers basically achieve success by bringing good players in. There’s not much point paying top money to attract a better manager if there’s no budget available to allow him to bring the better players in. That’s manager wouldn’t come here anyway under those circumstances. That’s the truth of where we are. We’re hoping on getting lucky. Lucky with the manager and lucky with the freebies and loans.
