Leonard Venkhater

Sorry. I know I am in danger of labouring this point, but we made a much better fist of it in the 80's. Twice we missed out only on the last day and we were in the top 2/3 certainly up to Christmas on more than one occasion. Under Venky's, I can't recall Rovers even entering the playoff positions for more than 10 minutes under Bowyer- and that it with shedloads of parachute and transfer fees received! It feels pretty pointless. We are treading water ...and losing money! Apart from all that, I agree with you!

So Chicken George was a Venky's employee after all!

Enjoyed the interview. Always loved Don Mackay and actually felt a bit uncomfortable/ashamed, when he was sacked after all he had done. Not saying it was wrong, but it didn't feel good(for me.) A few years later, the night after the Cantona Kung Fu incident, I was driving up the motorway with the radio on. Don was on a Radio 5 live phone -in. One of the callers-with a distinct, Lancashire accent- was arguing that Cantona should be banned for the season/for life/for ever etc. Don joked- "Isn't that because you want Blackburn Rovers to win the title!" I laughed out loud. However, the best bit came right at the end, when the caller said, "We still love you at Blackburn, Don. God Bless!" And so we do!

Agreed. And I seem to remember Desai spouting that the future was loans, just after the takeaway...

Well, I admit that the headline irritated me. TM said something similar about previous summers.

Not looked through any stats, but it certainly resonates with my perception. Maybe, "error after error" is slightly overstating it, but he certainly cost us points early on..

Haha..Well, I bet Titus Oates doesn't screengrab this! And Rich Sharpe's original article was entirely reasonable and just a local journo doing his job.

Always Lol? Stevie Kean's Blue and White Army? Sorry, but I was that child, who would always scratch my fingernails down the blackboard before the teacher arrived!

Far from healthy!

Therapy at others' expense is not a model I would recommend!

Lots of people taking delight in this. Some of it has got very nasty though. Glad I don't do twatter!

I stress this is only a hypothesis! If Mulgrew does indeed have "such a clause", that may explain his decision to end his Wigan spell. In theory, it would have put him in a stronger position to push for a free transfer with Rovers paying up the rest of his contract?

Lol As in... I have a dream today..I have a dream that on Saturday every tackle will be missed...

The only possible excuse/explanation is that we only have a partial analysis. Maybe( yes, I know..) there are things about DS's, Chapman's fitness we don't know. I have to say that Rothwell gets better in fans' eyes, the longer he doesn't play.

He is just being seen to stand up for a teammate in public. Nothing to see here.

What took Sharpe so long?..Oh wait....

That is deferred gratification...on steroids lol

So much pointless possession, waiting for the through ball that never comes. Soul destroying! It feels like I have sat through last night's events on many occasions. It is like a script at home. ZZzzzzzzz....

Well that matters not a jot. The point is to get there.

Noooooo!

Anti-football

Nailed it for me.

No argument from me either about Tony receiving recognition, although I'd prefer it if they were able to give him some practical help at the same time. However, the idea of a Tony Parkes Stand was a supporters' idea, that built up a head of steam. None of us know whether the club has other ideas for naming the stands in the light of FFP . etc. I know I had my own suspicions about the timing of the Ronnie Clayton mural, but my argument here is that it is not reasonable to lambast the club, simply because it does not immediately sign up to the stand idea, generated online. That does not necessarily mean disregard for Tony

That is brilliant!
