you should be working for the nationals! in 10 years even they can't get communication with the Raos, yet you have a direct line to Balaj himself.

is a mid table finish even an achievement in this league!!!!! for town teams or teams struggling financially... finishing mid table or just staying up in the prem league is a great achievement due to the obscene amounts of money the city clubs spend each year, but in the championship there's only really 2 things you can achieve play-offs or automatic promotion, so other than getting relegate anything else is just the truest definition of Meh! p.s. chaddy I've started noticing your posts a lot lately and im sorry but you seem like an enormous flipflopper as far as your opinions go.

tbf that's just 3 names out of 000s of managers in the game most of which where never 'great players' but yes occasionally it does work and we've been lucky to have a few excellent examples of when it does work

yea there's always a fine line between being strong a strong willed disciplinarian and just being a bully and the likes of keane and souness are way past that line by todays standards. tbh though i dont think discipline is an issue with our current squad though, so I'm not sure where this is coming from. To me the problem with the playing squad lays more with generally poor/sub standard training(which is an absolute disgrace considering the top class training facilities they have at their disposal) rigid transparent tactics with no plan b,c,.... and poor man management skills from Mowbray.

I can't argue with that logic 🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏 very frugal 😄

absolutely right

agreed (they all want sacking not just holding to acount) but why does this sunhail bloke get off? not much is said of him but he does seem to be heavily involved in things, especially when money and player transfers are involved.

as much is i want Mowbray and his cronies to go.... All this talk of Roy Kean as a replacement is fkn absurd, the few managerial roles he had he was awful and he's not managed(or even been on a training pitch as far as i know) for around a decade!! can people not remember the absolute shambles that Sunderland became during and after his time there. I thinkna lot of that was because contrary to what youd imagine he was absolutely awful at the player management side(along with all tge rest) (for the record of the top of my head I'd want either someone young hungry and ambioutous like hasslbank or a solid proven manager that still has a lot to offer (and maybe something to prove now) like Hughes but all that said, unless there's real money available to spend, no player transfer interference from the owners(or their representatives) and a genuine ambition to get out of thos league asap! then i cant imagine why any intelligent ambitious manager would join.

easily, they're all very comfortable and very very well off in their big cosy homes, Just a job and another day at work for them.

I can almost here the venks now tearing up their plane tickets for the 'planned return to ewood this season'

or is ir 5 1 4 or maybe just 5-5-0

This proves what has been heavily rumoured recently.... That there is (Yet again under the Venks! !) a huge power struggle going on behind the scenes at Ewood. and as always it will be the club & fans that suffer.

I WOULD have played Chapman.

now that would be the best transfer window outcome we've had in a long time.

when in doubt sign another wide player. ollie burk 🙄 how the hell is he a better option than chapman

but we did sign 2 league 1 left backs 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ (want to take bets on which of those 2 will be leaving us for nowt or on loan within 18 months because they're not getting enough game time or cos they're just not much kop)

'At Rovers there are no wingers or stikers. Just strikers right backs you haven't met yet.'

hush now or it might fall through 🤫 🤫

does this officially make me 'ITK' 😅 just wish i wasn't right and that it was the manager and his cronies leaving instead of OUR most promising players.

they just didn't want him leaving for a free, now if he plays very well (as I've no doubt he now will under an exciting hungry manager) they can sell him and get maybe a couple hundred k and a 'future sell on clause' for him at Christmas. ho ho ho. we've become a right horrible little club, all about the 💷 and lining the pockets of the cretins pulling the strings behind the scenes and sadly/ironically bumley now hold the moral high ground and is one of the best run clubs in the country (as we where before the walkers sold us out to this shower of 💩)

Got to say i am suprised that there's been no last minute talk of clubs coming in to buy/loan Chapman (as of yet anyway) especially Tony has made it clear he couldn't care less if he stays or goes.

I didn't realise it was a competition. transfer news, have you got?

you're welcome.

harold Shipman was a better doctor than you but you wouldn't want him checking your prostate. (I'm obviously exaggerating a tad)

i saw that, another Mowbrayism that is more likely to just unnecessarily confuse and effect the confidance of one of our own players (players Mowbray himself signed! as you said) Tony Mowbrays mouth is currently this clubs biggest liability and weakness.
