Poveda doing what a winger should be doing. Direct and ability to beat a man to setup the first goal. 
 

When he’s fit, he’s streets ahead of any “winger” we have.

Christ if GB goes but Waggott survives to run the football side of the operation again...

Exactly…let’s remember what happens when he was in charge of contracts…I hope GB stays.

Why aren´t Rovers making an announcement about JDT, it has already gone viral!

We've been here before haven't we.

Think Eustace will get the best out of these players to keep us there or there abouts mid table.

We will see if he’s good enough to push us forward - of course that will depend on the funds or lack of funds in summer.

At 95% of clubs, he'd of been sacked for the run of results, 

I believe he has been somewhat given a free pass, as has the DOF Due to continued circus off the pitch. The circus suits the managers script when results are clearly not there.

 

So am I reading this that GB is walking also?

Thanks Glen…I know alot wouldn’t disagree with me here but I hope your story means that GB will stay put.

I don't think Eustice is the answer - he's a relative rookie still and we need experience.

Now isn't the time to be taking risks.

If Fowler gets anywhere near the job, I'm genuinely out (and never returning).

Nixon clearly has no idea at all. After all, he backed Kean as a 'gem' right to the death.
He'll report whatever certain people pay him to report.

Andy, genuine question? Who would you be happy with? I understand the possible risks with Eustace but I can’t see anyone else (more qualified) to want to come to Ewood.

Just realised that when the likely outcome of Sam Gallagher getting injured our strike force will result in Leonard or Telalovic…

There was no chance that deal was happening, we all knew it.

Another spectacular cock up by the club. 

⚾ O'Brien - Strike 1!

⚾ Brierley - Strike 2!

⚾ McGuire - Strike 3!

You're out, Gregg!!

Waggot out!

JDT 10 wins in 40 is a garbage record and would be sacked anywhere else.

100% and i was a big JDT fan...Lets see if the players buy into Eustace.

Eustace announcement means Greggs gone 

Is that a fact? 

Also the timing of Eustace will work perfectly for some fans with us announcing McGuire won't be signing.

Such a weird feeling this.

A bad run of form means JDT needed to go. As a result you bring in, for me, a decent replacement but i just can't get excited because of what the board have done this past year. If we announce Eustace all would think ewood would be rocking on Saturday or at least a positive atmosphere...It will be far from it.

I hope Eustace knows what he's rolling into - I will back him but Waggot the worm needs to go!

I think it’s quite obvious JDT is leaving…We don’t need JB to confirm that. I presume the information that can’t be shared will be other members of the board getting the sack. 
 

Ideally it would be Waggot saying I’m leaving which I would celebrate massively.

A CEO of a football club using the players as meat shields.

And the fans being told it's them that need to step up 😄

Get that awful cretin out of our club.

My hate for him increases by the second…If there’s anyone’s name I’ll be chanting on Saturday it will be his and it will be to get out of this club - The man is a sewer RAT! 

Completely the right decision for JDT to go…He’s not perfect and has his flaws but under the right club/backing he will succeed…
 

Now then Jon, let’s here it all (popcorn at the ready)

Has anyone considered that by taking the flak last season, GB effectively made his position untenable SHOULD the same thing ever happen again. I don’t think many people genuinely believe it was him who made the ‘error’, but in an effort to either protect the team OR feeling as the DOF it was ultimately his responsibility, he took the bullet. 
 

12 months on and through an extraordinary coincidence the exact same thing happens again, leaving GB with nowhere to go but resign. 
 

I’m not one for conspiracies but we know that there is clearly civil war ongoing between the old guard and the new…. 

Yeap, there’s just no way, in his profession,  that he makes this kind of mistake in the space of a year.

Surely we'd of heard by now if we've won the appeal. The silence will be the worms at the top coming up with their response/excuse...I for one cannot wait to hear what they have to say.

People said that Venkys 'rejected' bids for Rothwell and Diaz in a bid to get what they wanted or help the team to promotion. I don't believe they did, I just don't think they approved those sales in sufficient time for them to go ahead.

People said that the O'Brien deal was a transfer paperwork cock up by Broughton, Silvestre, Waggott. I don't believe so, I think authorisation couldn't be obtained from India in time to allow it to complete before the deadline. Looks like the same with McGuire.

People said that the owners had decided to change path from Mowbray which is why they let him go. I don't believe so, I think his contract ran out, they failed to do anything about it until even Mowbray got fed up with them and walked.

It is this silence and complete and utter indifference to the fortunes of their football club that saw Kean wreak havoc for years, that has seen a hollowing out of the club and decaying infrastructure, that saw Mowbray plod on the road to nowhere for 5 years, that sees Waggott sitting in an office he should be nowhere near and still on the gravy train after 6 years.

They are responsible.

Couldn’t agree more JH

So a loan-to-buy (with a multi-million £ commitment) has failed to go through twice in twelve months when we've been suffering under financial problems due to the Venky's tax fraud... and you don't think someone at the club is deliberately sabotaging deals?

Ok. 

If I had to guess how this went down - Broughton set up the original transfer for McGuire. It got to Pune and they said "no, you can't spend any of the Wharton money". He then tries to rescue the deal (and get around that stipulation) with a loan-to-buy for the summer and generates the loan fee by selling Ennis. Obviously then someone in India says "no", but it's too late and the deal is already in motion... so they have to sabotage the paperwork AGAIN.

I don't think we paid a loan fee for the French CB or Ayari. We're literally dealing exclusively in freebies and free loans. The Venkys do not know if the Indian government will ever let them put any money in again - that Wharton transfer fee is going to be swallowed up in running costs as we all predicted.

I not agreeing or disagreeing with you here but if the sabotage thing was to be true…Surely professionals like GB would have jumped ship by now? Other than maggot and suhail who would put up with that?  JDT tried to jump ship in the summer but looks like we managed to persuade him to stay.

JDT can’t be in charge here…If he isnt then I can see it being a draw.

Stoke have some good players and if QPR were splitting our defence in half then Stoke should put 2/3 past us with ease.

Yep.  Both could be correct. If GB goes tomorrow I suspect JDT knew hence why  he wasn’t mentioned.

If he doest’t go then I suspect JDT is showing us where the blame lies.

JDT has been saying his “ask Greg” tag line the whole time he’s been here

Him giving Maggot and Suhails names tell us all we need to know.

I will be really annoyed if it’s GB who has left.

Taking Broughton in isolation, he should have gone after last January. Let's not make a martyr out of somebody who has overseen the same schoolboy error three times in the space of a year. He's the Director of Football. Not an intern learning on the job. A professional outfit wouldn't have let those shenanigans go, and here we are again with the same thing one year on.

Surely you don’t believe he was at fault for all 3?? He’s been fed to the wolves.

Waggot and Pasha are the men that needed to go first! 

2 minutes ago, Polky said:

If Broughton has resigned, will Maggott provide a similar breakdown video of the transfer window? 
 

I have a funny feeling he won’t.

So who would be the ones to give Waggot his notice? I presume the Rao’s? There no chance in him going unless on his own accord.
