Development...another biro found but couldn't work out they were holding it upside down

It's like playing Championship Manager only this is real and they're killing the club. Fantasy to bring back old players although even then it would be a legend or fans favourite. Ridiculous

I also felt Phillips moved too soon but I'm biased and hindsight is a wonderful thing. To put a different context on it and ignoring the money... Tottenham coaches at any level are likely to teach Phillips more than our own David Lowe! Then he wants to pit himself against the best to improve. At the time, Kane was there, Son, Richarlison etc. Or Gallagher, Ennis, Telalovic Then a walk around the Tottenham facilities which are 2nd to none and a move to big city life versus our decaying surroundings and all the murmurings of trouble with owners and a CEO that can't look you straight in the eye Even Phillips will know his time would have come I'm sure but there was far more going for him by moving than staying

I don't have an issue with it. I think he's within his rights given what occurred and let's not forget the debacle leading up to it with it cancelled mid flight and then sat in a hotel lobby, one foot in Sheffield, one in Blackburn and then back to Orlando. With all that said, the interview shows its not likely and probably best for all parties to move on. We'll potentially pay over the odds to persuade him with money we've not got and half the fan base is already on his back. I don't watch much of the MLS but from what I've seen I think he'd have made a good signing. The sort of player that will sign for Sheff Wed and come back to haunt us with a hattrick next season... Next...

Was it not Siriki Dembele that destroyed us earlier in the season when Brum came to Ewood? We were cruising and it became a close game we eventually won? Not saying sign him on one game but I recall a lot of clammer after the game about he is what we lack in pace, trickery and a goal threat

Ot was clear GB was leaving given he barely appeared or spoke after the Summer window and the one interview from what looked like his bedroom. What happened to the Tugay links, could that be linked to him coming as DoF?

Me neither but he scored at the weekend against Stoke too

Sell Leo to a championship club I say. At least we know there will be at least one club below us in the table!

Actually like the looks of this team for Saturday but no way Eustace will do anything different unless injuries dictate. He'll be far too concerned that if we lose and results go against us, he will have to explain why he didn't play big Sam. What's his previous longest goal draught by the way?

I know, my point was that now we get beat without those comments

Remember earlier in the season under JDT even when we were beat, opposing Managers were praising the style and the squad as tough to beat. Men's nothing in terms of points I know but not seen anything like that since JDT and rightly so

I think Buffon is stretching it even for 1 game a season...

Batty at CB even in a 3 doesn't seem to make sense? Doesn't suit his game at all. How did he get on?

Maybe he said "nice one Pearsy, I'll see to it that you get half of my winnings"

For me the squad on its day can be likeable and can produce, we've seen that. Early season and last the results suggested JDT was over achieving so we shouldn't be surprised the wheels came off under him and are still off now. How this squad can perform like it did against Newcastle, then Sunderland, then Leeds but produce like they did today, Bristol City etc. is baffling. I come back to tactics and motivation personally and yes I'm still mourning the loss of JDT and don't care what anyone thinks about that. I had hope and enjoyed watching my club again, I felt proud talking about the team but now it's back to abject and embarrassment most weeks. Starts at the top though and has been said many times, the Venkys and Waggott have to go before it gets better. If we were a dog we would be put down.

Don't it state resigned for all directors leaving post regardless of it being their choice or is sacked in his role?

Last season we were solid for many a game under JDT but whilst learning to play out from the back there were some horror shows. Our problem was scoring goals especially with BB went on his barren spell. This year the football was much better, we have scored more freely but in doing so have been too openat the back. As we have seen with JE, we can tighten up but the football has been dire and the goals dry up until last weekend. With hindsight there are times we would want JDTs style and there are times when we need JEs but I still think JDT over achieved overall with this squad and with support would ultimately have proved a longer term success. Some great points made and it can all be dissected in many ways. One thing not mentioned is player attraction. It's all personal but if I was approached by 2 clubs led by JDT and JE, I know who would inspire me more to play for because of his charisma, charm and standing in the game. With all that, as others have said it really is all lost and pointless anyway under this ownership.

I have to say to a man I thought every single player deserves enormous credit and did the club proud. Even Billy the kid considering his lack of game time, a debut against 1st choice Premier League players, he did a job. Nervy and a few mistakes but understandable. Rode our luck at times but it was just brilliant to feel that buzz again which I feared was lost when JDT departed. The foundations are there to kick on until the end of the season, secure safety and then the summer circus is back in town and who knows what comes next but tonight was about the players and the fans showing the best side of our club and on national television it was a great advert.

GB is inconspicuously quiet and surely the DoF should be present at a meeting with players discussing results even before the CEO. I think he and JDT depart and we are back to square 1. Maybe McFadzean will be our manager given he's been brought in at 37... nothing will surprise me anymore

I'm the same as many others. I feel gutted and almost a sense of grieving. I cannot ignore results on the pitch and it was clear we need to tighten up at the back but who could achieve anything with this circus. Everytime there is any hope, the next balls up hits and it's firmly with the hierarchy. I have no doubt with the right backing and sticking with the project, JDT would have achieved. He's now going to conveniently take the headlines to cover up for the rest. It's become a disgusting club with a rotting core. It breeds toxicity into the split fan base and whilst in a few days my emotions will soften and I'll go back to watching and willing to see the next episode I hate not having any control or ability to impact something I care about. It's embarrassing, demoralising and I hope JDT has something lined up because he deserves better than what this club has become. The rest of them should all fuck off as well.

An all or nothing on Rovers would gi e them all the money they need as it would be a hell of a show. They just wouldn't want it in the public domain. What I find odd is no one ever speaks out even after leaving the club in recent history I mean. Take someone like George Hirst who has no loyalty or affection, you would think things would leak but it's always the same line that everyone at the club is great, gonna miss them, rooting for them...no one ever comes out and says, with a better organised and connected top layer, this club is ready for the Premier League etc. etc.

Imagine losing your captain, young starlet and Manager in the space of a month. Any chance of ever seeing success at this club is disappearing quicker than you could say it. As they say, it's the hope that kills you...

Surely if true his Mum would have ended her following?

I actually have liked Jutkewicz as a Championship striker for a few years now. Always causes problems and is something we are lacking. I've often wondered why Burmingham haven't utilised him more over the last few years. However, never imagined he would be a player we would bring in as its completely against the model and I wouldn't say he's a pressing forward. He's not renewing at Brum through a lack of starts and I can't see that changing here. He'll get some game time but used from the bench most likely I would have thought. Can't see it happening personally.

To be fair, he did a very good job at QPR before being poached by Rangers, where QPR then went into freefall and have never recovered since. Didn't work out at Rangers and yes I know several fans who were glad to see him gone, likewise Clement has had the desired effect but I wouldn't write him off just yet. If I remember correctly, when riding high with QPR, Wolves wanted him in the prem but he turned it down.
