Tony Mowbray Discussion
Norbert Rassragr replied to Neal's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I still think he should go, and we need to either go for it with a manager like Hughton, or if we're going to try and survive a financial starvation diet, get Mark Robins or take a bit of a punt on Ainsworth. Sticking with Mowbray is not really doing either, just plodding along with no direction, being happy with a slow fade into obscurity. -
Championship season 2019-20
Norbert Rassragr replied to arbitro's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
If Gerrard thinks he can be considered as Klopp's successor, he had better start dominating Celtic and winning leagues. Rangers have been a solid second best for a few seasons after the meltdown and recovery prior to his arrival. -
Summer Transfer Window
Norbert Rassragr replied to Stuart's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Keane is a 2 dimensional clown. Sure his abrasive personality will shake things up, and perhaps get a result of two but he does not have the intelligence to know when to be that way, when to try and inspire confidence and has no ideas about tactics. He is all about fear and intimidation and nothing else. -

Robbie Fowler, Lee Bowyer and Nigel Clough are the three favourites on Sky Bet with Craig Gardner and Lee Carsley knocking about. -
Wigan Administration
Norbert Rassragr replied to EgyptianPete's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The 50%+1 model is probably not perfect and has drawbacks, but some sort of link to the city and the fan base is needed. Otherwise you may as well be honest and change all the names and have a franchise system like US sport. Man Utd can become the Manchester Red Devils, until an unscrupulous and grandstanding local mayor bungs them a massive wedge of cash towards a new stadium and they become the Hartlepool Red Devils. -
Wigan Administration
Norbert Rassragr replied to EgyptianPete's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
And the premier League is interesting? Watching a bunch of clubs owned by money launderers, slave owners and crooks from god knows where jizzing away billions for players from across the world whilst the only people able to afford a decent ticket is some South Korean tourist with cash to burn and a desire to do something novel on their holiday. Was it ever really exciting when Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea were winning almost every FA cup and Premier League going for about 15 years whilst Jeff Stelling and co. we're having a big circle jerk about Abrahmovich and the UAE guys who had just bought Man City from a dodgy Thai bloke? There is no point in watching Premier League football as a neutral as it's just as fake, alien and ruthlessly commercial as WWE or the NFL. Chelsea or Liverpool could play games in Sydney or Lagos and it would be no different. Sure the few fans from London and Liverpool will be angry, and they will miss out but outside those people no-one would care. They don't count, and the TV hype machine would describe the match as historic, as a great opportunity like the NFL games in London. The clubs are now brands, nothing more, steadily cutting the roots and their heritage from their identities as they chase money from any kid who wants to look cool and back a winner.- 455 replies

It could be a load of Bassini types, or even the man himself allegedly leading a foreign consortium of business people. -
Mowbray: Stay or Go - A Poll
Norbert Rassragr replied to Stuart's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I voted go, as this is the best Tony can do and we need promotion. If we are serious about promotion, then Hughton or a talented young foreign guy like Brentford, Huddesfield, Forest or Norwich have done. If we are going to slash budgets, and try and survive on ashoe string then Robins or Ainsworth should come in. If Mowbray stays, then a slow drift towards a relegation battle will happen. -

Out of your list I would say Houghton, Karanka, Ainsworth, Robins in that order. Keane is a moron who loves his own 'hard man' hype, Monk is a crook, McCarthy is no better than Mowbray and Starchan is finished. -

Norbert Rassragr replied to Neal's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
If we're going to end up cutting costs, and go on a starvation diet I'd suggest Mark Robins. He's used to a revolving door squad and scrabbling for loans and free transfers at Coventry city. If we are really hoping to improve, get up and be a contender for promotion, we might need either Chris Hughton, or take a punt on someone based abroad like Norwich, Brentford or Brighton have done. -

Norbert Rassragr replied to Neal's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
My dad should be the goalkeeping coach. Sure he only played one game in goal, in a charity match in Hong Kong, and only because he didn't fancy running around in 30+ Celsius heat but he kept a clean sheet against John Spencer and Dale Tempest. -
Leeds at Home 4.7.20
Norbert Rassragr replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I think you will win then as I will guess you've actually played a proper game of football. I was always the one who watched the others run around the playground whilst standing next to the goalkeeper and wait to tap it in. -

Those numbers are subliminal messages, and you'll have an urge to assassinate some world leader or buy the next U2 album. -

There's hope for me yet. I have crap knees and can't run so I'll do Sam's job for half his wages. -

I did like Zurab, a dependable and capable defender. He'd have been in the 1st team in any period after Nelsen and Samba left. -

Big in Yorkshire, average everywhere else. Dodgy Don Revie allegedly match fixing before abandoning his country, a town that spawned Jimmy Savile and winning nowt since 2 Unlimited were in the charts, and the source of all the human flotsam in spaz chariots that make Bridlington so awful in the summer. -

Is that a suggestion or a warning? I'd take it as the latter as Brown is pants. -

Wow, even if half of that is true, that is rotten. Until the likes of the FA, EFL and so on are targeted with either legal proceedings, legislation stripping them of authority or even some massive case of hacking this will continue. The people who let this happen need to lose their jobs, money and homes as they are part of the gravy train. -

Skimming through the last page or two, you might think Mowbray is about to retire and make 70s style soft porn films with Paul Lambert if you were not paying attention. -

Yep, though Wolves were allowed to be run by that super agent Mendes on behalf of the Chinese owners. -

Norbert Rassragr replied to arbitro's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
This could be the start of quite a few clubs having issues, including us. There are only so many billionaires and rich Chinese business groups interested in buying a club, but plenty of shoddy con men and blaggers who can pass the tests. -
Wigan Athletic (A) - Saturday 27th June (3pm)
Norbert Rassragr replied to a topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Bum. Looks like we'll be a few points off that 6th place for the rest of this season. The squad needs quite a few upgrades, and dead wood letting go for next season. -

Hopefully they'll all go away once the games are over, with the exception of Graham and Downing. -
