100% I remember that transfer fees had started to calm down a bit until Abramovic bought Chelsea, then they went mental. When City got taken over that was basically it for any smaller teams. I mean, even if venkys hadn't turned out to be the festering pieces of toxic waste that they are, there is no way they would ever be able to compete with the wealth of a nation state.

That would suit the lot of them. A Mickey Mouse league for the Mickey Mouse clubs

Fleetwood Mac - Oh Well

To be fair there is a grain of truth to that as the red scum, Chelsea and Liverpool have spent shit loads of money over the last 30 years buying trophies. City are an easy target because they were a shit team that all of a sudden became huge and successful due to being bought out by a nation state. Fuck the lot of them. They have made the game so boring. And for all those who want to throw the old "Jack Walker" comments our way, Jack was from Blackburn, supported Rovers and made his business and his money in the town.

We were. I don't know what the fuck you'd call this now, but it doesn't look like any kind of Rovers I grew up watching.

Another gutless, piss poor display on the cards here. Watford 4-0 Rovers

With rovers at least they give a definite no.

If that game didn't bother you then I don't think you could call yourself a Rovers fan. Absolute madness.

This is football.

I don't expect Rovers to be competent enough to properly fill out the forms for an appeal. I'm sure that when it fails they will spin the story to make it all about how the EFL blocked the transfer.

Both things are true at the same time. The people who run the club are totally inept and the manager is out of his depth. The piss poor results cannot be blamed on the lack of signings as we have seen gutless, clueless and downright cowardly performances many times this season. The whole situation with the transfer window in January is a total disgrace. Anyone who was involved in it needs booting immediately.

It's more likely that we'll be joining Ipswich in League One in a year ortwo

Happy Mondays - Oasis

Put it this way, if the dingles lose to this rovers team, that will be far more embarrassing for them than when we smashed them 5-0.

I'd say that is the only reason they bought him. The exact same thing as what the red scum used to do.

Nothing will happen to them. Nothing happened to west ham when they feilded ineligible players, in fact they were rewarded. City will no doubt be rewarded also.

Yeah didn't someone post this story a while back?

I'm fully expecting the exact opposite. The easiest win Burnley will ever be given.

At no point in the last twelve years has this club had any aim of promotion out of this division.

Any chance we can swap?

Nothing will happen to City at all. Remember West Ham fielding ineligible players?

If it isn't our target then let's just shut the place down and start playing rugby or some other shit.

I wouldn't expect any of those gutless performances under Big Dunc to be fair.

Roxy Music - Love Is The Drug

Honestly, if you turned up for an interview and swag was sitting there would you take the job? I'd just turn round and walk away as soon as I saw his lazy, incompetent mug looking at me.
