  1. I'll take a link please if someone can sort me out. Still can't log in.
  2. Re Nyambe it isn't the end of the world I just hope it's the agent being unreasonable and not us. He could be about to damage his career, in fact he may have done so already. It doesn't always work out as well as it did for Raya, we have seen that many times in the past with far bigger and better players than Nyambe: A talent that could go either way and should be asking for a fairly modest senior wage as it stands.
  3. What are you trying to achieve here? There's so little value added by this post. Fans wanted the manager out when performances repeatedly weren't good enough. There's nothing wrong in being frustrated as a paying customer and applying pressure on a manager because you think the results aren't good enough, or that the team is capable of more - which they are now clearly showing. If a club didn't have that they wouldn't be a football club. If anything this also proves their frustration was right but no one needs to be smug. The manager is now performing, move on and stop trying to provoke people on a message board, it's mind numbingly boring. The Pears thing, any fan that has an opinion over the transfer would be stupid to change it over one save. On the surface this deal stinks a bit and performance wise it remains to be seen whether a fee will be justified. The only possible comment you could and should make about him after today, is that the win will be good for his confidence.
  4. Worth noting we paid a significant fee for Pears too which was conveniently undisclosed, at a time when we were spending very little on player recruitment elsewhere. Odd.
  5. Buckley is a player. He makes it look easy, we've got a real prospect on our hands here. I'm tempted to say the same about Wharton.
  6. Was that all under the same manager? He doesn't sound up to it.
  7. No and the offer was deserved but Dack agreed it because it made sense due to his injury. This is the only point I'm making, it shouldn't be taken as false hope that Rovers are attractive to any fit, ambitious talent that have offers elsewhere. Dack had little choice in the end and would have been stupid not to take it, so to use it as a measure that we're moving in the right direction is wrong. The measure will be the answers of players that are fit, in form and can move on but instead choose to sign a new deal... and it remains to be seen whether the club is able to do that.
  8. A player signing a new deal after a cruciate knee injury can't be used as a measure to say the club is doing things right re player retention, it would be absolutely crazy not to sign. Anyone thinking differently I would suggest is not in touch with reality when it comes to their football club. In our case, too many fans.
  9. I think the offence was fairly minor, it's just a shame Dack himself didn't acknowledge it online with a quick message to his fans to show that they and the club are important to him. Unfortunately with how he let it pan out, it does at least appear that his friends either in the team now or at other clubs are his priority. Which personally as a fan isn't the kind of professionalism or competitiveness that I'm looking for. Always liked Dack but I'm inclined to agree with others that he's either dim, a prat or both.
  10. The reality is we aren't set up to get a good manager. We can all see when available they don't end up here, so perhaps we should be directing our frustration further afield (the owners and CEO). In fact I'm certain we should be on a match day basis. If the club was ran correctly the majority of the "good" managers Wilder, Smith, Farke etc would jump at the opportunity to manage Blackburn Rovers. There are too many managers that we have to rule out simply because they are better at their job than our owners are at theirs... and some of those managers are completely average but why would a totally unprofessional by the sounds of it CEO, friend of the current manager, even try to appoint one. Venky's out. Sack the board.
  11. Chris Wilder has gone to Middlesborough which was agreed weeks ago.
  12. Him liking all of Reed's posts doesn't invalidate the issue though. In fact Dack seeing this post as being the same as any other is part of the problem and will have irked some fans even more. It wasn't the same, it was captioning a humiliating night for the club. It should have been left alone and I think if you cared about your club and its fans beyond wages and friendships you would have done. Him "liking" it made that appear not to be the case. Even if it was the tiniest of acts, I can see why people were annoyed.
  13. He will be gone soon as the form is going to get a hell of a lot worse; it's inevitable under him and fan patience seems close to a toxic level of thin. The owner's might want to spend a bit in January too and I doubt they'll want him involved in that.
  14. and what about Elliot Bennett explaining it like he's the oracle and getting it completely wrong. No wonder we've been sh*t for years!
  15. Agree, I've thought about this and it's even more annoying than I first thought. Totally get they are friends. Travis and Gallagher like ALL of Reed's posts too but chose not to like the 7-0 loss against their team - which is sensible if you have respect for your fans. Even if you want to like it you should think twice and hold back, clearly some of your teammates didn't think it was appropriate either. It potentially highlights another issue for me and that is, have the players been made to realise by the manager just how totally unacceptable that night was for the club? I'd hazard a guess off the back of this and say not enough has been said.
  16. Such a shame how far from this level of decision making we are now.
  17. He mentions parachute payments as if the only clubs that we're failing to compete with are your West Broms and Bournemouths, when the reality is we're getting beaten by Blackpool and throwing 2-0 leads away against Luton at home. He isn't capable of having a team of 11 better players beat a team of 11 worse players... on a consistent enough basis, it's simple, that is the problem and we've witnessed it far too often. Mowbray should have been fired well over a year ago and the fact that he's still here is simply a reflection of how dysfunctional the club is.
  18. At what point do we try and force positive change and voice our opinion as supporters in the ground? Time for some "Mowbray and Waggott Out!" or "Taking Us Nowhere" banners. Fan feelings need to be known and journalists are barely willing to touch it. We need a full new setup, starting with a new CEO and manager.
  19. I don't like to criticise someone so young but Clarkson... jesus wept. If he wasn't a Liverpool loanee he wouldn't be making the mens team. Loan players are supposed to be better than what you have / can afford, they're meant to have an impact. What are we doing!!
  20. How can the manager think we were going to win that 0-1? I've never seen a game more obviously going to end 1 or 2 nil to the home side. If we can see it why can't he??? Rovers were all over the place and getting run ragged in midfield. Absolutely shambolic performance with a decent enough subs bench but no plan B. A change of shape was very visibly needed. Terrible manager and more terrible form - similar to the end of last season. How are we still here?? If we'd have won that match 1-0 it would have been completely undeserved. I'd have still been embarrassed by the poor passing, the lack of movement and chances created, and the inability to control any part of that game. How about some honesty from Mowbray, instead of shaping another squad of players that are allowed to underperform? I expected some anger after that display. Message to the owners: Make some changes now, show an interest and get the fans back through the gates.
