It beggars belief that he was kept on until the end, Whatever the penalties they can't include that surely?
-
Do you think he even remotely cares?
-
Well they have the funds to pay compensation now.

Lose this and it'll be 2 points from the last 3 home games against 3 of the 4 worst teams in the league. Plus a fairly recent hammering at Sheff Weds. This would be a manager sacking at any other club.
-
Just a matter of time before QPR score. Can't see where even another 10 points are coming from. A poor squad but Jdt doesn't help by keep playing the useless Moran.

Scary. Moran is so weak and loses possession far more than wins it.

Jon Dahl Tomasson - Officially No Longer Our Head Coach
alcd replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
If he goes it will be like the chaos in 2012/13 and a freefall towards the relegation places. Also strong parallels with Lambert being lured in and finding that he gets none of the proceeds of the Rhodes sale. After 5 years of comparative calm under Mowbray it's back to the idiocy of the earlier days. Only chancers like Coyle will want to take over from Jdt. -

Walstedt has played once for Sweden. The US hand out appearances very generously. Of course if he's young and in the scoring charts they'll have a look at him. He's the insurance when Gally pulls up with another calf strain. -

From what I've seen McGuire doesn't look physical (or "nasty") despite being tall and well built. Can't see him bullying centre backs in the Championship - so a bit like Gally. Doesn't appear to have impressive ball skills, hold up play or incisive first time passing. Not surprising for someone playing college soccer rather than going through a youth academy or the rough and tumble of non-league football here.. I suspect he's no better - or even as good - as Telalovic. It's just as well he's only coming on loan so he can be binned at the end of the season. -

So what "pivot plan" did JDT have if Wharton had got a season-ending injury? And how did he manage for the 29 matches that Wharton didn't start in last season? There's no certainty that a similar or better offer would have been received for Wharton in the summer and potential buyers would probably have held off until late August. Rumourred interest from Chelsea and Everton did not materialize probably because of their FFP concerns. Would that change in the summer?Tomasson's job is to get on and manage what he's got. -

Watching his YouTube highlights doesn't inspire confidence. Likewise Broughtons track record for signing strikers - Hurst,Ennis, Telalovic - none of whom have scored a league goal yet. -

If Fleck and Garrett are starting in midfield we won't be finishing the match with 11 players on the pitch. -

Might as well have signed Paul Gascoigne. -

I think Jackson just sits at home reading social media and press agency sites. No insight whatsoever. -

Still plenty to sell in the summer and they will. Dolan, Gally, Sigurdsson and Hyam all with just 1 year left assuming the options are taken up on the first two. That's probably £5m plus the Raya money. And Travis to be sold assuming he persists in asking for a transfer. Oh and there's decent money to be had for Carter too. It's not the lack of incoming funds but the refusal to spend any of it. -

Fleck broke his leg in August and according to Wilder was still suffering pain from it just 3 weeks ago and added to the injury list. Furthermore the break was a recurrence of a break suffered just 12 months earlier. Looks like we signed another crock. -

The sycophants and happy clappers posing as reporters and pundits at the LT and Radio Lancs (not to mention Radio Rovers) won't reflect any of the anger among fans and reflected on this MB. -

That seems a very likely scenario. And will probably be repeated with the further transfer income to be received in the summer. Look forward to squad comprised entirely of free transfers, loans and more kids from the Academy next season. -

Moran is as weak as piss and will be devoured by a physical QPR midfield comprising Hayden, Colback and Field. -

And the £22m is reduced by a "loyalty" payment to the player plus agent's fees and 20% VAT so probably closer to £15m net. -

Have to hope that Huddersfield are even worse than Rovers although the two recent matches against them suggest otherwise. -

That's with Adam Wharton pulling the strings in midfield. Where is the creativity and ball retention with Garrett? -

Just getting him off the wage bill would be a triumph. -

Add Hyam to that list of summer sales as even if he signs a contract extension (and why would he?) that's just a device to increase the transfer fee. -

In the summer we can expect the sales of Carter, Dolan, Gallagher and probably Szmodics. The proceeds plus the Raya sell-on will simply cover next season's losses as Venkys have clearly stopped their funding.
