Has Barnes played since his injury ?

Spot on -and yet some actively want it.

I'd guess that the reason he hasn't yet agreed a new deal with pne is that he doesn't intend to be that "free" - but will want a significant signing on fee plus wages. That central midfield position with Tronstad, Travis, JRC , Buckley is one where we look to be reasonably well catered for so I think probably we pass on this.

Good to see some facts being quoted.

So what if Waggott and Pasha are the first casualties? Many others follow. The Ladies team, the recruitment staff, possibly the Under 21s and academy staff. 2 of the stands closed permanently with a loss of stewarding work. Ticket office staff reduced as attendances fall. Remember, administrators are offered by the creditors of the club. In our case debt is overwhelmingly owed to Venkys so every saleable asset will be sold off to repay them what is owed. The idea that supporters actively want all of this to happen is scary.

Come on, the "Ewood payroll" will include plenty of people in the upkeep of facilities and administration etc who are not earning big money. These people should not be callously disregarded by the keyboard warriors who offer nothing but theoretical claims as to how throwing those people on to the scrapheap is some kind of sacrifice worth paying, although of course they won't be making that sacrifice themselves.

Not much consolation for people who lose their home because they can't pay the mortgage.

I doubt if it will seem insignificant to those who lose their jobs - or their families either.

This is almost certainly correct and is a significant factor in the problems at the club. In the past one poster on here has stated that any item of expenditure in excess of £5000 has to be approved from India.

And what about all the blameless people who lose their jobs as a consequence ?

We replaced Mowbray with a manager who got exactly the same number of points in his first season - 69 - as Mowbray got in his last and then threw a tantrum the next season to the detriment of the club.

Luton got the lowest attendances in the Championship in the 2022-23 season - and were promoted to the Premier League.

Perhaps the most sensible club to go from the Premier League to Division One in recent years.

I don't recall ever seeing the question answered. What is the answer ? Why would somebody buy a premier league club to then want it out of the premier league as soon as possible with all the financial problems that follow ?

If they don't want the Premier League spotlight shining on them - for some unexplained reason - why buy a Premier League club in the first place ?

His record was that he inherited a team that had gained just 5 points from the previous manager's last 11 games - a spiral clearly leading to relegation - and was charged with the brief of ensuring that we were not relegated, a task which he has successfully accomplished. Hardly the grounds for criticism, I would have thought.

People do get ill, you know.

Why would we release Markanday and Hyam on frees ?

No reason to pick out JDT. In his tenure as manager we took 33 points from 29 games - 1.14 a match. After he left we got 20 points from 17 games - 1.17 a match.

Pears did rather well too.

Great day and congratulations to the players and John Eustace whose approach to saving the club from relegation was vindicated today.

Possibly other than the Academy which seems to do well; that may be an area of the club in which the owners don't interfere.

I think we can be certain that Morton won't care that much - after all he stopped playing for us at the end of last season and has spent all of this season at another club.

Do you think that getting 5 points from his last 11 games, most of them with Wharton in the team, was a major managerial failure by JDT ?

I think if you make comments like "we really are the pits" that should be on the basis of something that has actually happened rather than your doom laden predictions.
