  1. Tony Mowbray Out ! For some reason it seems he is 100% staying until summer, meaning the last 3 games are totally pointless Oh well...
  2. Why do people care so much? Over to the late Sir Bobby Robson... “What is a club in any case? Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it. It’s not the television contracts, get-out clauses, marketing departments or executive boxes. It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.” 😥 Venkys Out.
  3. 4 teams below us within 3 points all with a game in hand. Progress.
  4. Wed commentators can't believe it saying what is Mowbray doing just took off the 4 best players 😀
  5. Well it distracted us from Mowbray for 24 hours. Similar shambles.
  6. Like the old days...watching on Ceefax.... but far less exciting.
  7. Just a meaningless friendly Mowbray Out
  8. PSG would be out on a limb domestically as sole French club. Don't be surprised if they soon change their mind with s more softly wait and see the reaction approach.
  9. Have Rovers purposely positioned themselves as a training academy for Liverpool and City ? European Super League Training Academy (North UK) - formerly Blackburn Rovers FC.
  10. What is interesting is this statement about the money flowing down the pyramid. It does make me wonder what was agreed behind closed doors, in the discussions on the pandemic bail out. Could we see these "elite" clubs having a (B) Team playing to domestic fans in the PL, whilst their (A) Team play to richer fans around the world? These sides already effectively work this way with their vast squads. Their "punishment"... B sides starting in the Championship next season. The outcome will stink. That is all I can guarantee.
  11. Are they planning to start this August ? 12 team league, after 3 declined. If those 12 are (rightly) thrown out of their domestic leagues it seems impossible to think that other European clubs will choose to make up the numbers on an annual basis to make 20. All the talk about fans is meaningless. We are talking about Traditional fans.... like most of us. Venky's taught us that having a ST since 1950 doesn't mean your opinion counts for naff all. They will be oversubscribed on ticket applications every game, with a mix of traditional fans (who can afford a ticket once a season and are successful in the draw) and modern t'internet fans (plastics to the traditional flat cappers) from China, Dubai, etc. The old game we love is already long since dead. Let them go. Kick them out the league. I bet they are livid up in Glasgow... Surely the old firm must qualify 😀 These businesses are choosing their path to worldwide growth. Not much we can do except bar them from our domestic market. Do the league bodies and political figures have the balls ? Basically making all the traditional fans of these clubs "stateless" ? I seriously doubt it. Be interesting to see how this plays out but it needs to be fast if the league kicks off in August. Clearly it's not Europe's elite at all. It's just the richest clubs from England, Spain and Italy. Man City in traditional terms are and always will be a smaller club than Rovers. They just happen to have rich owners at this moment in time.
  12. BRFCS were not invited according to Josh on page before. So as I said, it was only the nodding dogs who were hand picked. End of the day they will reap what they sow.
  13. Mowbray still in charge. Transfer Embargo. Half the team gone. Other half going through the motions on their option year. Covid test before every game. 4000 in a 31000 seat stadium. £400 plus including Riverside, for the privilege. What's not to like.
