  1. Two trophies in the last 12 months as well. More than Arsenal, City, Liverpool, Real Madrid.
  2. Remember it was predominantly garbage last season before the self-inflicted exodus of players and arrival of Rudy's mates. What was Ismael's excuse then, when the players were good enough?
  3. Swansea's home record in all competitions this season: 8 wins, 6 draws, 6 defeats Swansea's last 10 games overall: 5 wins (home & away v Oxford, home v Portsmouth, West Brom & Wrexham) 2 draws (home v Birmingham, home v West Brom in the cup) 3 defeats (away at Stoke, Millwall and Coventry)
  4. My prediction is that 'they' will sit back and do absolutely nothing until relegation is confirmed. Then when word gets back to India about another relegation delivered and another £10 million hole in the coffers it will be Gestede and Owen who get the blame at that point and are axed. Dogsbody Suhail will survive though ready to deliver the next incarnation in League One. I don't think they'll try the laptop / continental approach next time, instead it will be academy focus and probably Johnson left to oversee it, knowing full well he'll get patience from the remaining fans due to his background, but most importantly he will be the cheap option again. Another about turn on projects will of course take time to offload the dross Rudy has saddled us with but we like the 'churn' at Ewood with a revolving door of staff and players. All helps towards the '£20 million a year' needed.
  5. So predictably it seems there is a clique of people out there who are against removing Ismael because 'we wouldn't / couldn't get anyone better' and the usual challenges to people to name options who would realistically come here and do a better job than Ismael in these circumstances. It's more or less the same rationale people come out with for not calling for Venkys out, because they've convinced themselves that there's no other owner or group in the world who could bring more to the party than Venkys. Suggesting those clamouring for a Regime change should first name who would be interested in buying Rovers (of course that's impossible). So presumably then we are just supposed to sit back and enjoy the ride, unable to change anything about the rotten ownership and management of the club because we are the only club in the world that cannot attract new or better ownership or management. It seems part of this is based on prospective managers / owners not going into the media and declaring an interest in Rovers. Such a shame that some people are so negative in their view of Rovers and performance of the club that there is such insistence that this is the best we can hope for. Just accept it and get on with your life. I almost wish I could have such an attitude but I can't. You see in professional support that sort of attitude is unacceptable. There is always a way to improve and get better and you should never accept failure no matter what the causes.
  6. A penny for the thoughts of a Eustace, Travis, Hyam, Batth, Brittain right now as their clubs compete for promotion/play offs whilst we nosedive towards League One. Almost like we should have fought tooth and nail to keep that lot and build around them rather than ripping it all up and forcing them all out.
  7. Swansea beating Birmingham now too which moves them 7 points clear of us and takes another relegation 'candidate' out of the immediate equation.
  8. Another three year deal for a proven failure that had never lasted long anywhere. They keep on finding em. Good work if you can get it / have the right agent.
  9. The time for Warnock was February last year on a short term deal to secure play offs and get us promoted and retire. He'd have loved that and would have fit well with the pros we had at the club back then taking over from Eustace. Sadly the imbeciles running Rovers knew better and threw a three year deal at a failure who never lasts more than 40 games at a club. Now isn't the time for Warnock. Not with these players. They wouldn't cope with him and he wouldn't cope with them.
  10. Wolfsburg interest in Ryan might explain the source of funds for Jorgensen. Or perhaps the money they got from bundling Hyam out on deadline day which the Venky happy clappers have forgotten all about.
  11. Ismael is the most unsackable manager in professional football, because results, performances, league position do not matter at this club
  12. Never mind. What about injuries and referees?
  13. Maybe we can ask the league to postpone all our games until we've got players back from injury (and the weather improves so the pitch can cope). That way we will be fine.
  14. Charlton winning v 9 men so that's one sorted
