It IS reflective of the club though.

Such a shame how far from this level of decision making we are now.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

That match was a sackable offence by all in charge.

Did we not learn anything from Tuesday night Tony? 🤨

It isn't harsh at all and I'm sure they were good for that but they have an opportunity during their day job to get the majority fan feeling across to the management team and that isn't happening time after time. I've seen enough to know some very obvious and uncomfortable questions are avoided.

These wet behind the ear local "journalists" aren't helping. So may questions that could be asked. If they did their job properly they'd be feeling extremely uncomfortable in each press conference. The last thing you need with a management team like this is a bunch of messenger boys.

Hate to say I told you so. My opinions on this club are strong, pessimistic and entirely accurate. It is all too predictable. Today we've spent money for the first time all summer, on a left back. Let that sink in. How does this club put a strategy together for promotion out of this league and execute it? Is it a 15 year plan? The board and manager have to go.

Are we the only club in England that photographs loan players with a pen in their hand? Is that the norm? I feel like the club is trying to imitate the feeling of a permanent signing for our benefit. 😂 Just get some players to actually sign some worthwhile contracts at the club and stop trying to trick the Facebook fanbase into thinking the ink at Ewood does get used 🤣

or the owners and management start running the club properly.

This is working out perfectly to say: "We tried everything we could" - Blackburn Rovers, September 1, 2021

All of this would be fine if we combined it with some shrewd permanent signings in the (300k - 900k range). I doubt any Rovers fans are expecting millions to be spent but just a handful of signings to show that the club is still active and investing in it's own future would be nice... I'm presuming Mowbray didn't expect to be in a job this summer and the transfer activity does have a look of that.

First signing done...

I can bet you he didn't have an injury in those two months.

I'll go back to this. The rest of the fanbase (Facebook) need to realise the depth of damage caused by managerial and ownership shortcomings. I'm not saying Obafemi was the answer but the reality is it's going to be difficult to attract good players to the club.

This summer should have started by sacking the manager and making the club a more attractive proposition. I do not see Obafemi joining, or anyone on a permanent basis that has options elsewhere. Give this 3 months and all the fans will have turned.

You've got to laugh

A signed agreement between the two clubs... surely?

No doubt about it, any passionate owners would have been there to show their delight. They aren't interested and do the bare minimum needed.

Maybe they do read the forum 🤣

Perhaps we can point 800,000 Chileans in the direction of Venky's

Yet the local press do nothing but cover non story transfer possibilities and how a sale of the unsellable Phil Jones will affect us. We have absolutely no voice.
