  1. Envy while disregarding the circumstances. Pretty shameful.
  2. McFaz needs to come on for Moran, and shove JRC in the middle. Wharton and Hyam doing all the defending imo
  3. Wharton Sr, my MOTM so far. 3 potential goal-saving blocks imo
  4. That did occur to me as I posted 😞 To think only 5 years before Jones, we had Tugay.
  5. And Gregg turned up Tronstad, who (for my money) is the most complete and combative central midfielder I’ve seen at the club since David Jones (still baffles me that we never tied him down).
  6. Completely understandable reaction to my post. But whenever anyone sticks up for Venkys, they put themselves firmly in the company of Burnley fans. Whereas when I get accused of being a Dingle in return, they can point to nothing but ‘negative’ or ‘don’t have a season ticket’. When I say some fans didn’t deserve Jack, I feel I’m being kind. Yes I would love a united fanbase, but it cannot be one that blindly supports and excuses the ongoing bullshit.
  7. How is it that an Orlando fan club, and our incumbent manager who has no link to BRFC aside from his employment contract, can see through our AWFUL owners, but our own fans cannot? Why do they think it is that Burnley fans chant ‘long live the Venkys’? It’s because they are incompetent owners who are destroying everything Jack built; whether by accident or design is irrelevant. Some of our fans didn’t deserve Jack, but they deserve Venkys.
  8. And then employing endless children to piece it back into a coherent document.
  9. Closest is Lynsey Talbot, and I have it on reasonable authority she has only remained through all this shite in the hope that good times return.
  10. Why are you angry at a man who’s his feet cut from under him, instead of those wielding the scythe? JDT has ALWAYS batted for the fans’ angle, and he’ll always have my respect for that.
  11. It’s the third window in a row, I think he’s every right to leave with his head held high. I’d have your view if it were last January.
  12. Spent today thinking about our incomings and I’m more distressed about it. Add up the incoming and outgoing fees and wages, and Wharton needn’t have been sold for any of the other business to happen. I think GB/JDT were told they’d need to sell significantly to raise funds (and contribute to the club finances), did so, and were then told ‘actually, no’. Just my hunch, based on the maths of fees/wages. I’ll reiterate, every other piece of business in and out could have been done without selling Wharton.
  13. Usually the ‘option’ in loan-with-option includes first refusal, hence the elevated fee.
  14. No they’d sell him for peanuts but at least we’d be free of Venkys! But you’ve shown a fundamental refusal to understand the facts of our debt despite being corrected by others, so maybe you’re not worth engaging with any further.
  15. Remember Simon Jordan getting a zinger about Stokes. Apparently in trouble for hitting an Ellis impersonator, Jordan said something like ‘I paid him a fortune to impersonate a footballer’ 😂
  16. Of course it fucking does! This way, it is a deal for Venkys, not for Rovers.
  17. I hope JDT and GB walk and talk. QPR is likely to be my last game until Venkys go (and I’m only there on a freebie). I’ve tried so hard to do what I can, even being on the Trust board for 6 years. But you just constantly bang your head against a brick wall with this club. I can’t walk away from my first love but I have to for my sanity. I fucking hate how Venkys are making me feel. Honestly, the only thing keeping me sane is this site, knowing that others can see through the Venky charade.
  18. This is up there with the day we sold Duff. Or that game vs Bolton (14/01/06) when Jansen returned as an away player.
  19. Atcheson. Similar level to Phillips in JDT’s first season imo. Probably Roy (Rory?) Finneran after that.
  20. That was leaving his hotel, by looks of it. On way to Brockhall?
  21. Imagine if after all this, we sign McGuire and Brekalo, plus Ackermann… Imagine…
  22. If I remember rightly, he ran the Batth cock-up.
