Exiled_Rover

So much for being Blackburn boys, eh?

Watching Evans jog around the centre circle for Sunderland passing backwards and sideways is giving me a warm glow inside. What a nothing player.

I think it'd be a massive PR coup if they did buy the club and returned it's soul... but then I'm not their Head of PR so they'll never do it. Imagine the two Blackburn brothers restoring Rovers to dignity. They'd have the key to the town (albeit they could probably buy the town outright at this point).

I'll just be £430 richer and have more free time in the winter. I stopped loving this club a long time ago - it doesn't hurt me anymore.

LOL 'talent drain'. It's a terrible backroom staff and AT BEST Mowbray is a middling Championship manager (I think he's significantly below average, but I'm not having that argument today). The players would be in for a shock if Ainsworth or Farke stepped through the door with their backroom staffs, let me tell you.

Someone somewhere said they're the wrong caste. Plus they're not into football, apparently.

He doesn't need to say it - he needs to actually permanently leave the building.

We know that's not true - the Championship is nothing special. Wycombe are drilled to within an inch of their life. It would be a shock to the system to our players if Ainsworth signs (he won't).

It's clear that MK Dons have far more talented players - I'd love to see their respective budgets.

We simply don't have the infrastructure to support an up-and-coming manager. Nor do I trust said infrastructure to identify one. We need an established winner - one we can hand the keys of the entire kingdom to (it's simply the way the Venky's operate).

Same. Realistically Farke should be running into Mowbray at Brockhall as Ol' Tone is clearing out his office. Instead we'll dally and someone else will hire him (and his entire backroom staff who are also currently out of work).

He played him as an AML for a year - it was more than a passing comment that he had a similar build / skill set / level of talent. He didn't turn him into anything - he simply started playing him in his natural position. He was always a CM.

Leeds have bottled it - they'll be the one to go down of the three.

Mowbray thought he could turn him into Benrahma - that's mismanagement.

We shouldn't be after anyone until a Manager is appointed.

Rothwell confirmed as leaving on a free then. Fair enough - I think he'll be disappointed at the offers he's about to receive.

I hope they're actually halved (or quartered if we're being technical) this year.

One of those is not like the others.

Coming from the bloke that's lived in Lancashire for the last 30 years, but never lost his Scottish accent.

To be fair I'd be professional enough to have had a conversation with him letting him know that no new contract was coming. Of course if I was in charge he'd have been sacked during last year's death spiral, so he's lucky the Venkys are so hands off.

Literally everyone around me in the JW Stand wants him gone - but do carry on.

I've always been under the impression that Mrs Mowbray encourages Tony to take these jobs that are far away...

The announcer at Birmingham is having a 'mare "All supporters please leave the field of play immediately". Repeated every 20 seconds over the tannoy. LOL

Agree to disagree - they're not halved (or quartered I guess).

Looks like the Birmingham fans have got bored of protesting and are now fronting up to the away support. Morons.
