Diaz international duty followed by injury cost us this year..Not Mobrays doing

Maybe its just canny Venkys waiting to see where we end up this season. .Hes been a good manager in the clubs current financial situation..

Sorry for Dyche .Would have been good for his CV if hed saved them which was a very good chance.J....Example of owners selling  best players to rivals then blaming their  mistake on the  manager

Joey Barton..for next Manager?

Will we see the return of Big Sam?

When we struggled some seasons  to stay up at this stage,a hero emerged the save us at the last minute..Remember John Stead. and even Pederson before..that..This new Striker from Germany to replace Wood  hastn done it but  could

Like Dyche..good guy ...

It's realistic to predict that we'd come straight back down, but promotion would be absolutely transformational for the club regardless.

The huge cash injection would help us pay off debts, offer long contracts to our current players and make some quality signings.

The value of our young promotion winners would skyrocket too - stick them on long contracts and we could absolutely rinse anyone who moves in for them. The gate would also increase substantially, every match i'd expect a minimum of 20k home fans at Ewood in the Prem.

Then if we go back down: Strong championship squad, parachute payments, relief from debts and confidence around the club.

I'll take it!

A year in the sun would be very nice

The singer from Budgie too..We lose two more greats

a filing date extension because of covid.was allowed this year for some companies

A few old Names from yesteryear..John Radford,John Omara the 30goals a year man who didnt score one for us....

It's of it's time I think.  Can't find it funny anymore.  Used to like her as Mrs Merton.

The Debbie Magee interview was a particularly funny one.

Mrs Merton  with Bernard Manning was funny too

Someone on from Australia is selling some top notch Rovers pics of the 60s..Search for em on ebay  under B;lackburn collectibles,they are the best pics Ive seen...

Man Utd want rid of Phil Jones..Fancy him back ?

RIP Diego...

One of the fantasy names thrown about as possible Rovers manager when Venkys first tookover I seem to remember.

Miss  BBC and ITV  coverage of our teams in Europe..not even highlights  shown nowadays...

.

Get rid of the £3 pay on the day adds on to ticket prices...!!!!!!!!..

The three nil drubbing at Wigan under Paul Ince was my worse ever Rovers match.more than any Kean one...especially having pedalled there on my bike.....Check this out  but when  we went down, we were still   feeding the Yak and  were   top half  highest scorers in the league.maybe even as high as 8th .Shame we let two and three times as many in ...Letting Neilson go....  think it was QPR... ..... the end ..

Dont like  the match day add on £ 3 if you buy your ticket on the day..get rid of this ....Reckon its a crowd reducer..

The Hoghton Arms is a very average pub. The two don't compare in my view - the food and beer at The Royal Oak are far, far superior.
