So people losing their jobs in the clubs latest cost cutting exercise is a 'benefit'. Nice.

Nor do enough of our fans that why the owners and various managers (including Mowbray) get away with their ineptitude for so long.

Financially beneficial for who though? I think with cut down costs you have hit the nail on the head. That's what we will see the rebuild done on the cheap like everything else and no doubt there will be a benefit in it but that benefit won't be for Blackburn Rovers Football Club who will end up worse of than before. Also are you inferring that staff of the club losing their jobs is a positive thing?

At this moment of time if I had to pick a squad I'd go with. Keepers: Pope, Pickford, McCarthy Right Backs: Trippier, Alexander-Arnold Left Backs: Shaw, Saka Centre Backs: Stones, Maguire, Keane, Godfrey Midfielders: Rice, Henderson, Grealish, Foden, Mount, Maddison Attackers: Kane, Sterling, Rashford, Sancho, Bamford, Calvert-Lewin As for the starting 11 I'd go with. Pope Trippier Maguire Stones Shaw Rice Henderson Grealish Sterling Rashford Kane

I think this squad is much better than it is currently showing and that they aren't reaching their full potential due to a number of things and those things are mainly down to the manager, things such as constantly chopping and changing the starting 11, messing about with systems and playing players out of positions Man for man though the squad is at the very least capable of being in and around the race for top 6. Kaminiski- Very reliable goal keeper there aren't many in the division I would say are much better than him. Nyambe- One of the best right backs in the league in my opinion. Bennett- Isn't good enough for this division or probably the one below come to that. Lenihan- Under a good manager he would be a player good enough to play for a top 6 team. But Mowbray doesn't improve defenders and some get worse, in his time here the only defender that has got better under him is Nyambe and I can't help but feel that is more in spite of Mowbray rather than due to him. The year we went down Lenihan was one of the bright spots and putting him at the back was one of Coyle's best ideas but I don't think Lenihan has progressed enough since that season. There are games where he looks a top centre back but to often he makes rash mistakes which at his age should have been eradicated. I can't help but feel a better coach would make him a better player and immediately that would improve the team as our results usually parallel his performance. Ayala- For years he has been one of the best defenders at this level yet under Mowbray he has looked poor. A classic example of what I was talking about earlier that Mowbray doesn't improve defenders and some get worse under him. Under a better defensive coach we'd have a very good defender in him. Branthwaite- Not been impressed by him. THB- Need to see more of him. Williams- Isn't good enough for this division. Not improved under Mowbray. Bell- Isn't good enough for this division. Not improved under Mowbray. Douglas- Another one like Ayala has come in having previously been a very solid player at this level he has with two promotion to his name, but again has been poor. Johnson- A solid squad player whose best years are behind him. Travis- The last 18 months his progress has stalled. Mowbray talked about him being important because he kick's opponents. Personally I don't see Travis as that type of player but he is trying to be more of that type of player but I think he's a better footballer than that and that we aren't seeing his full potential. Davenport- A solid squad option but I' not sure he's anymore than that. Holtby- Undoubtedly has quality but I do wonder how much he wants to be here. Downing- Hasn't played enough we are desperate for someone in the middle of the park to connect the play with the attackers and then when he gets a start we decide to go long ball and bypass the midfield. Evans- Waste of space. Trybull- I don't know what's going on with him but I'd be surprised if we see him in a Rovers shirt again. He showed previously for Norwich that he is a good player at this level but for whatever reason it hasn't worked out. Buckley- Not good enough for the football league. Rothwell- One of the most naturally talented at the club, one of the few players with the ability to run with the ball and connect the play from the midfield to the attackers. But he is a confidence player and I don't think he has ever had the full confidence of the manager he is in and out the team, subbed off regularly even when playing well, changing positions. In 3 seasons he's never really had a consistent run in a single position. Elliott- An exceptional talent who most certainly won't be here next season. But he's another one who get's messed about with position he's not a false 9 or a central player he is a wide right player and we are a more dangerous attacking team when he is on the right. Dolan- A lighting start a bad performance or two and hasn't got a start since. Is that a reason why the first half goals have dried up? He is certainly an exciting prospect who for me has been underused. Brereton- Not good enough for this level. If that £7 Million had been spent well we'd have a squad capable of competing for the top 2. Dack- We all know he is a quality player but it will take a bit of time for him to get back to being the player he was. Gallagher- Another one who has been a victim of being miss used by the manager he isn't, never has been and never will be a winger. If played through the middle I think he could get you 10-12 goals a season and he also gives you a different option of how to play. Armstrong- His goal scoring record the past 12 months or so speaks for itself.

Having watched Grayson's half the other night for Oxford I don't think he'll be getting much more game time unless they get some injuries.

Blaming the fans for a player getting injured even Kean never thought of that one.

The bullshit that this chancer comes out with is unbelievable. On Wednesday Nyambe was dropped for no reason and on Saturday it is because of his hamstrings. The bloke could lie straight in bed. Mowbray Out!

FFS!!

Nyambe wins a pen.

If I trusted the people at the club then I wouldn't have a problem with the proposal (although worrying that there was no mention of Cat 1 status). But given how the club has been run in recent years and how this came out I fear that there will be no state of the art facilities but rather facilities built on the cheap.

Fair play to the players if they can pull out a result today because looking at this they are being managed by a man who looks and sounds like a completely battered and broken man.

Only 2 right backs in the division have more assists than Nyambe. He's an excellent defender and is improving all the time going forward. If he does depart this summer then we will not get a better player than Nyambe in.

It is. Brereton £7 Million, Gallagher £5 Million, Armstrong £3 Million, Dack £750K, Kaminski £450K, Pears £350K, Evans £750K, Rothwell and Davenport( both undisclosed but probably a few hundred thousand each), Bell £300K, Elliott £4 Million, Branthwaite £1 Million, Pickering £650K. But even if it isn'' this is the Championship there are always sides going to come down who have players that cost a lot but very often they are more of hindrance than a help as we know only to well. Also Ayew isn't a £20 Million player anymore if he was then he would still be at Swansea.

And all those players they bought though with the exception of Ayew were sold the following season.

It must be on heck of a size tree to make room for 170 dwellings. Tony must have bought some magic beans and planted.

That is absolute nonsense as you can see in the link below. So if you are going to give me these wishy washy responses at least get your facts right. Swansea City - Transfers 18/19 (Detailed view) | Transfermarkt

That's the only way they are ever going to recoup that sort of money from their losses anytime soon. Unless Buckley and Brereton can find some form.

Nothing to worry about here. Haven't you heard the owners have learnt their lessons and will absolutely respect Jack's legacy.

I do feel sorry for Gloucester even though I think the vote to end the season is the correct one. They've been mid table at this level for years, due to the unfortunate geographical nature of the 2 leagues they have had to play all but 2 of the last 12 seasons in the National North and until this season haven't had a ground to call their own for over a decade.

Earlier in the season it was because Dack was injured, then it was Brereton and Travis and now the excuse is that it is Ayala injured (whoever could have foreseen that). Lots of excuses not ideas. Mowbray Out! Daniel Ayala the figure that can remedy Blackburn Rovers defensive woes - LancsLive

When a manager starts banging on about stats then you know he has well and truly lost the plot. As Rob Key always says on the cricket 'stats are for prats'.

If he wants to be a first team manager then at some point he is going to have to leave United and in all likelihood take a wage drop. Also I doubt Michael Carrick is going to be on the bread line if he takes a wage drop, he's working in football because he obviously loves the game if he didn't want to work then he wouldn't need to do another day's work in his life. Not everything in life is about money.

He left the end of last year and what a mess he left it in. With the shambles he has presided over, no thanks. I think I'd rather have Waggott.

He get's more goals and assists and is a lot more effective playing from the right, that is not even debatable.
