Mashed Potatoes

I can't recall seeing any of that but ,whilst I appreciate you touch on this on your original post, more to the point do you think that the manager has done anything wrong so far in his team selections by apparently favouring academy products over others ? Most of the views expressed on here are to the contrary.

How do you know the details of his employment contract and remuneration ?

That wasn't how I interpreted the post to which I was replying which I think should have been expanded

We won a major trophy and qualified for Europe with the Walker Trust so I can't see why you think that.

If he was the next big thing at that age why wasn't he picked for the England age group teams as an academy player ? He had to wait until he was playing first team football.

Why is a 6 footer clearly not going to win many headers ? For Wharton's sake I hope he doesn't have the sort of defeatist attitude shown in your post. To reach the very top in any walk of life requires a determination to be the best possible, not just giving up when things seem hard. To quote the old prayer " Do not ask for tasks equal to your powers, ask for powers equal to your task". A shining example of the right mentality would be Andy Murray where early in his career it looked as if stamina might be an issue; he worked his socks off to be one of the iron men of tennis. There is no reason why Wharton can't do something similar.

Makelele is 5ft 9inches tall so was not going to be defending balls in to the air at corners. In contrast Wharton is 6ft tall so it is not unreasonable to expect him to defend .

Baffling to me that for some strange reason you seem to take exception to a statement of fact.

That appears to be an Indonesian poster, nothing to do with India

In fact the local MP did refer to the club during the HOC debates on the Football Governance Bill. On 28 April he asked the junior minister to "join me in congratulating Blackburn Rovers on their outstanding community work, especially to support young boys and girls from all backgrounds in football ? Their commitment to inclusivity and development at grassroots level is truly commendable."

Come off it. The blueprint for our path was created in 2010. You seem to be the only person who has failed to see that.

You don’t get it.Employees here who show dissent lose their job. Ferguson has stayed silent over the United owners putting huge debts on the club.

If Venkys owned the club - yes

You are deluded if you really think the manager would have the power to veto or block a sale that senior executives were determined to make

But would Cantwell work in the new system?
