Jon Dahl Tomasson - Officially No Longer Our Head Coach
Torgeir replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The larger fanbase of other clubs don't really know what's going on at Rovers. They get the bits and parts, and of course it's embarrassing with two deadline day dogshite dealings, but most people follow their own teams and don't really see more than the surface; poor run of results. It's a bit of a catch 22 because the only way we can turn this around is if the club gets bigger support, but I know why people won't chuck money after the current lot. So I'll ask you a question: What would have to change for you to return to your 'old ways'? -

Do we know the details of the error yet? We know it's VISA related so is it because there has to be two visa applications? One for the initial loan and one in case it's made permanent after the summer? Purely guesswork. -
Venky’s, HMRC…The Plot Thickens ?
Torgeir replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Someone changed from permanent transfer and stopped negotiations before a different deal was constructed and it was scramble time. There must've been some resources on other transfers as well. Shambolic nonetheless. We probably all want SW to go, but I'm not sure if it changes anything. We've been under a transfer embargo before SW and it all comes back to the owners. But we're in a bit of a predicament because we can't overspend even if we wanted to because of FFP. Extra annoying now that we didn't take our chance last season and win a play-off place. -

Possibly for the better for you personally, Swanson, but I don't think I can ever come to that conclusion myself. Some fond memories from League One, so it's all about adjustment. Right now it's dogshite on and off the pitch though, and nobody can really blame you. -

I’ve thought about it today and my theory is GB will take responsibility and offer his resignation. Rovers/SW won’t accept it and come out with a statement why. That’s my theory before reading the rumours about GB. Who would want the job that isn’t a crook? -

Great job Bethnal,. Just need something that catches on and is easy to print up and/or distribute. -

Whoever it was that fucked up again with the 'clerical error' should pay for the lawyer in the appeals process. -

You need something that stands out. A symbol or a colour combination that differs from the normal ones imo. Venky's logo with a red cross? STOP signs? -
I think he stood on his line too much for a while but adjusted after a while. Not a leader though, only shouts 'come on lads!'. Not the only one who isn't a leader in today's team btw.

He's not a key player. Truly shocking today.

Working under FFP is hard as it is. Now that Venky's can't inject cash it's even worse... sign League One players and you become a League One team. I really feel for JDT but we never looked like winning today. It was tough to watch, we just can't get going. Needed Chrisene to score with his right foot early doors, or Dolan passing to the league's top scorer Szmodics who would've been clean through on goal. Didn't adjust to QPR and their counters at all. Same as watching Huddersfield. Crazy. I was unsure after the game but JDT looked fired up and I don't think he'll quit. Convinced me, and I don't care that he's taking the fight publicly. It's the right thing to do. 100% has my support. Wenky's can f off. -

Will be an interesting day tomorrow, and to see JDT's demeanour. -

I see quite a few fans are negative towards JDT. I wonder who their suggestions are for his replacement. -

I agree. I think Broughton will work with whatever means he's given, and find excitement and personal development even if finances aren't looking good. He's got nothing to lose really, and it's his first DoF job so he won't be in a rush to quit. He'll take a better job if offered of course. JDT is ambitious and speaks his mind. Waggot wants to run a tight ship and keep it 'civil', and needs a yes man. Crazy because things looked really good before the cock-up of January 2023. -

The deleted tweets from yesterday revolve around that the McGuire deal fell through. He was right and didn’t elaborate and deleted them before anyone else said the same a few hours later. -

Strange wording to use ‘blocked’ so Elliott must have some intel that there’s something rotten in the state of Denmark. Don’t think they’ll sack him. Too stingy for that, and we won’t find a better coach. -

McFadzean hasn't played since November, but he has at least trained. Fleck I'm a little more concerned about and probably was an option presented to us late last night as we couldn't pull off someone a bit safer, and with more promise. JDT has expressed a need for experience and Gregg has delivered both that and some promising players (O'Riordan and McGuire), and some short-term back up from Villa and Pool. -

The purchase option is solely ours so there's an agreement for that already in place. If he does so well that there are other bidders, we buy him first and move him on for a profit in the same window. Theoretically. -

Torgeir replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Sure we will. If his values raises we can sell him on for a profit, so it would make sense not so sign him if he does well. -

Fleck really must have been last minute as he wasn't even presented in a shirt. Will probably drive up today to do some media chores, and then straight into the squad on Saturday perhaps. -
