We are going down (the pessimism thread)
SBlue replied to simongarnerisgod's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Either way they put 5+ past us. No pressure but a big prize on the line, or if they're really going for it. It'll be like watching the Harlem Bloody Globetrotters. I really think our goose is cooked. -
John Eustace - our head coach

We were 2nd in the league after 20 games going into that FYI -

We should crack on with that. -

From some of the posts this week you’d think the squad was fine, JDT was shite, and JE is the new Pep-destroying messiah because Gallagher decided to win his annual header. -
Agreed. His positional awareness off the ball first half completely shut down their midfield, Chelsea had to start playing down the sides second half to get any joy at all. Natural football IQ.

We did the same at their place iirc. They’re really quite toothless. Can see them being one of the ones caught up, they’ve already played the “change the manager” card to little effect. -

Weirdly, Neil is two years younger. Cant believe he’s only 42 -

Thank god they didn't forget John Fleck's, that lad from Dunkirk and Sorba Bloody Thomas. It's unbelievable whichever way you slice it. Unbelievable errors, or unbelievable excuses. -

His resignation letter is still lying on top of the carrier pigeon. -

Is there a “visa window”? If the transfer has been registered with the EFL, what’s the problem? -

Thought I saw circa £500k being mentioned for Brierly? Might have got that wrong, but he went for a "six-figure fee" to Brentford according to reports. Collateral damage? 😂 O'Riordan just offsetting the Carter fee? I dunno... sounds like I've gone of the deep end I know! But when looking for the most logical sequence of events, I'm finding the situation so farcical that it becomes almost implausible for our executives to have made such a mistake again. Just beggars belief! -

Competent at short term freebies, cheap loans, and sales though. -

If that were the case I’d 100% be resigning. ”Structural problems within the club have made my position untenable.” I’d think less of him if he sticks around after this, however it actually went down. -

Just so happens that any deal involving a fee in the last 12 months have been the ones to be fucked up. The frees and cheap loans get through the fax machine fine. Maybe it’s the pressure causing mistakes? Could almost look like all fees have been totally blocked and the powers that be don’t want the DoF, manager and fans to know. Blame EFL rules, “changes to Indian tax law”, whatever. I NEVER go in for conspiracy theories over logic. Just must be a huge coincidence that it’s these two deals in particular. -

Only Hyam and JRC touched the ball more than him, he had >93% pass accuracy (2nd highest) and got a lovely assist in the first half too. When you do notice him he must be having a blinder! -
Jon Dahl Tomasson - Officially No Longer Our Head Coach
SBlue replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Performances were better than results. “Best team we’ve played” wasn’t a lie, we looked unreal in patches. Couldn’t get enough results over the line (lack of experience?), and fell apart as injuries came in (lack of depth). -

With all due respect, we’ve as much chance of convincing Klopp to do a Dalglish. -

Yeah but if we can just pretend for long enough to get him through the door… like we did with Jon! -
Jon Dahl Tomasson - Officially No Longer Our Head Coach
SBlue replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He’d be waiting a while I reckon. 60 games as manager with a 33% win percentage? How’s he in line for jobs like that? I’d be happy with taking a punt on (and could see the logic from “the model” point of view) someone like Lee Carsley. But truthfully, our reputation and finances are in the shit. If JDT walks it’s going to be painful and we could end up with absolutely anyone. -

Have to say, not wildly optimistic about this McGuire from the (completely unqualified) eye test. People were writing off Telalovic because of the level he played at but some of those MLS/college clips look absolutely honking. -

At last, a bit of balance. I’d say jury is still out on Sigurdsson, certainly made sense on paper, and I definitely rate Brittain. Biggest and best signing he made was JDT. A masterstroke under any half functional administration imo -
