Never trust a monk.

That's not saying much. Might be another Whittingham type but that was a signing that appeared to make sense and this does as well.

Retire then. At least Bentley did that when he tired of being a corporate puppet.

I wouldn't be sure about Ashley but know of some other people who definitely would.

I'm not gonna watch something because it's on terrestrial Tv in this day and age. I hardly watch any men's football so I'm hardly gonna spend time watching a bunch of women. Where was the support when Rovers Ladies were denied a deserved promotion by Man United many of whom's players are probably in Neville's squad. Granted that sounds hypocritical because I couldn't have cared less about the Rovers women's team beforehand but at least that's honest. These people watching this won't care anymore in 2 weeks than they did after watching synchronised swimming for about 5 minutes in 2012.

Someone will probably point out it's a "bloody charity" as they did when I noted my dislike for that shirt because of republican beliefs. Well if anyone should start a "bloody charity" it's them! It's more of a figurehead position anyway hardly pouring their own money into the thing.

...and my choice for Mowbray's role would be Jason Wilcox.

It hardly seems like a step up unless they are in the Champions League qualifiers. Hardly likely to progress there if they are.

So do viruses.

Sounds really ambitious then.

Indeed though it's strange (as noted on Premier League thread) that there didn't seem to be any formal notification of any bids considering Villa Park is an ACV. Of course here people were more concerned incase Venkys wanted to sell the land to a supermarket or something than themselves. It only seems Villa fans became aware a few weeks ago when the company "buying" the stadium was setup on Companies House.

My immediate assumption was perhaps the admins have some morals and are worried about the backlash selling to Bassini. He's hardly "fit and proper is he" not to mention a friend of Jerome Anderson. Which made his comments about having John Williams interested in being part of his setup strange with no denial or comment of any kind from Williams. Strange is one word used to sum up the situation but whatever reasoning the admins have will presumably come out in court. If it's not "fit and proper" then more a case of "show us the money" which is hardly new with Bassini either.

So fire him then.

What else can you expect when you appoint a psycho as your assistant?

...and who was that? Thenodrog? Lowe has absolutely zero to offer as a spectator attraction. He's about as appealing to watch as a marathon of mass euthanasia documentaries. Everywhere he goes misery isn't far away.

Unlikely perhaps but not impossible that Suarez has memorised the Association Football rulebook including law 12, section whatever. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/9371787/luis-suarez-correct-yellow-card-tackling-pitch-invader-copa-america/

Yes it was a very good intro but the "Raw Is War" intro blew it away...no pun intended. There should be explosions in whatever intro they use it is on TNT after all.

Maybe the "king of Preston" comment was suggesting that Bauer would be happier at a smaller club with less pressure whereas coming to Ewood would be more intimidating. Some players are like that look at Kevin Davies and Per Frandsen both performed well at Bolton Wanderers but couldn't cope here. Davies probably couldn't have even tied his bootlaces right at the time.

Sometimes promoted clubs aren't ready or at least take time to get used to a higher level. Wolves in 2003 would be a clear case and while Rovers playing well was part of it they were completely off the pace in that 5-1 defeat. Of course there's a big difference between the jump they made and the one Charlton Athleic have made especially when they are somewhat used to the Championship as a club.

As Sunderland found out not everyone is a Jermain Defoe type.

Yeah that pretty much sums it up in 6 words.

Indeed. Only have to look at the guy to see that. People can make up all the tired excuses for him they want. Injury proneness isn't entirely his fault I suppose but it's not exactly a prize attribute is it?

He's a grade A hypocrite.

It's Sky who have a lovefest most people probably don't give a toss about them. Now if Orient v Newport had been on Tv with a tribute to Justin Edinburgh that would have been the right thing to do. Of course they have already shown their nefarious intentions by picking Salford's first league game instead. Personally I don't like a club "owned" by retired Man United players (as if it's not Lim putting all the real money in) and my contempt is as justified as Leeds fans feel but it's not the same for everyone on here is it?

They can hardly complain. I can't recall the exact time (probably a couple of years ago) that a leaflet advertising their season tickets came through my letterbox. Why on earth anyone in Blackburn would go to watch Preston who knows? At the moment though why would people in Preston go to Ewood? Being a much bigger club isn't significant enough alone at the moment. I've quoted this before but in 1998 Williams said "we must see ourselves as being Lancashire". What happened after Jack died? Small town this, small town that. Not that I'm bothered but have the EFL changed rules on promoting in other areas? Accrington's owner Dolt was complaining not long ago wasn't he even though there's more Rovers fans there than Accrington ST holders.
