  1. I better put in extra effort for ban number 5 then.
  2. Wouldn't be a good idea for Ewood officials to use marketing tags like "Blackburn Red Devils" or "Red Devil Rovers". Old Scumford's lawyers would be calling in a heartbeat. Look at their issues with Football Manager and to a lesser known extent Panini Cheapskates.
  3. Who would have thought 27 years ago that one day there would be a red devil on the home shirt?
  4. Petrol bomb attack on Celtic (retiring) CEO's house after only winning 9 titles in a row. I said that Celtic were a horrible club couple days back and the post was removed. Yes this act has really revised my opinion and the evidence (except from idiots trying to blame Rangers) points to Celtic fans. No wonder Mowbray Magoo feels like he's in a comfort zone after managing there.
  5. I'm usually last person to criticise Jack Walker but I've touched on this in past. There are instances where he was too nice for sure. I've seen a video on youtube for instance where Wendy Howard actually asked him "is the club too big?". I would have fired her so fast she would have thought she was in a cannon. Jack said no by the way 😄 shockingly enough for a guy who used "think big" as his motto. Wendy did say on Twitter that she "retired" from Radio Rovers because she would have hit Kean so bonus points for that. Of course Hodgson's better than Mowbray. Would he gain promotion though? ErIksson couldn't and look at the owners he had at Leicester. Hodgson said he was sorry for refusing to resign and forcing Jack to sack him. That's more than Sherwood's ever apologised for. Harford did spend money in 95-96 and if the signings were inadequate or just not title winning standard. As mentioned on other thread recently the blame lies with Harford. Also the club had no choice but to keep spending in 98-99 because the injury list was so bad.
  6. That's probably an understatement. As for the "oil money" who's to say Rovers wouldn't have received any? If Jack was still alive he probably would have seen the "writing on the wall" with Abramovich (butterfly effect here I suppose) and become open to a sale. He wouldn't have neglected the sale process and sold to people who don't know what relegation is. Of course that's all the fault of Anderson not the people who trusted him enough to look for a buyer. If "trusted" is the right word because that implies they actually gave a toss. I think Kamy said Williams warned him about Syed. Perhaps Williams stood up to the Walkers on that but thought he could handle Venkys and overcome their lack of knowledge. If Williams had objected to Venkys the Walkers may have sacked him anyway if it's correct he saw through Syed and tipped off Goldberg, etc. Either that or Anderson completely fooled him as well but nobody ever considers that scenario do they? It's always gullible Venkys how could they trust Anderson when Williams had no issues working with him until Kean got the managers job.
  7. Yes including Vichai before his death incase that wasn't obvious.
  8. Been a real credit to Vichai since his death haven't they? Nice to see such a decent family particularly Vichai's son.
  9. ...and Rovers manager if I had my way (suggested August 2010 maybe that's where Venkys got the idea from!) but some things aren't meant to be.
  10. You didn't really start to think that the day Dalglish showed up?
