The one who finished bottom last season?

Should have been there. Edited. I'm not gonna edit it each time someone suggests someone new though. Might screw up the voting.

Considering there's a poll where most people are opposed to Mowbray's continuation as manager... I'm not saying all these options are realistic (obviously) or people I particularly care for. Some of them would certainly be included in the betting odds though.

I guess if the biggest advertising sign in Europe (as it was at one point and may still be) was next to stadium even Ewood officials would have the foresight to use it. Well that's certainly nothing new.

Most likely just swans in and out when he feels like it. Nothing different to norm.

Or people called Kean(e)

Thanks to UEFA majority of clubs are in limbo bad owners or not.

Another area of past dispute between family and trustees. https://jerseyeveningpost.com/news/2016/02/05/former-flybe-business-adviser-sues-former-owners-of-airline-for-1-8-million/

Who isn't? Everywhere Lowe goes clubs should adopt "why does it only rain on me" as their anthem. Misery magnet. Of course that's pretty much what UEFA have acted as past few years and they were hardly a fine, upstanding organisation prior. Whoever came up with FUP as far as I'm concerned is a sick perverse masochist.

It's possible to think rationally and be angry at the same time. I've managed it. As for Mowbray he should be removed at the end of the season. I sense a terrible start to next season otherwise. Replacement? Well I suggested Jason Wilcox in the past and he's the first I would approach. Barring that (perhaps he does not want to be a first team manager) then another up and comer OR seek abroad. Wolves, Fulham (until pretty much day 1 of this season) and Leeds have done just fine (albeit Leeds not promoted yet) so sticking to domestic coaches only is narrow minded thinking.

Might be some actual hostility towards UEFA then.

...but they have referred to private family funds funding VLL AKA Blackburn Rovers. Pretty sure it was part of the reason why shareholders in Venkys/VH Group didn't get onside when approached by fans about damage to their brand's reputation. Unfortunately as we know (other than clearly halting Venkys outlets opening in the UK and they certainly had intentions at one point) it hasn't exactly hurt their core business.

People don't do the most basic of research. I just had to correct someone who said they were amazed Venkys hadn't taken legal action (they did) against Kentaro, Anderson, etc and was completely ignored. Level of ignorance accustomed to on here I'm afraid. Venkys LONDON Ltd how the hell does that lead to tax breaks in India? ?

Another victim of the Jack Walker haters at UEFA

Except they did.

...and that's a question of spite and how much? Perhaps the "best case scenario" for them would be to get promoted then sell the club. Without pilfering Tv funds and remember there's no Belokon figure to prevent that. Of course in the meantime thanks to incompetence and FUP it's by no means a certainty. Clubs don't normally remain in the Championship as long as Ipswich have (pending their inevitable relegation) so there's that but the question is which way? Another stint in L1 might turn out the way last season did but it's still a wasted year towards what the end game should be.

Assuming that isn't sarcastic he's got enough problems at the moment. Accounts are due to be posted on Companies House in approx 5 days. Thenodrog has stated he's seen a copy of the accounts perhaps because he's one of the fans with a minuscule shareholding. I can't imagine the accounts will show anything different than usual. Obviously the debt will have increased and there will be references of kowtowing to FUP every 2 sentences,

Manager calling you a disgrace. It's not exactly uncommon in football for managers to abuse referees is it?

This only happened once?

I'm sure his reasons are legitimate. Simply because it's hard to believe someone could be worse than Dunn as a manager.

Had a brief look at this Bolton takeover situation and it seems like the Davies family might be holding it up. They want a 5 million loan repaid that Davies gave them just before he died. Now some people are blaming Ken Anderson (saying that he took 500k of the loan for himself) but are the Davies family just looking out for themselves? I couldn't think of a bigger insult than comparing someone to another family and maybe I'm paranoid for that reason. Davies wrote off virtually everything else though and now he's dead are his family picking the bones so to speak? EDIT-I've seen Davies' daughter commenting on Twitter and she's been mentioning the club and her Dad. Something which another family would never do. So maybe I'm wrong but how many children did Davies have? If Anderson has been using the loan for his own interests I can understand their point as well. As I say for some reason selfish families touch a nerve with me but you can't just judge someone on a few mins research either.

Reckon if I walked into a shop or post office and sucker punched someone they would probably just laugh. Mike Tyson I'm not.

One of their stewards even appears to have kicked Grealish. Can't imagine Birmingham City will be winning "stewards of the year" awards. Then again it is the EFL. The only sanctions they don't deserve at the moment is UEFA's corrupt nonsense. Sadly they have probably played right into UEFA's hands because people won't be feeling too sympathetic towards them at the moment.

Nothing tops FUP.
