We are going down (the pessimism thread)
Mattyblue replied to simongarnerisgod's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Careful now, his dad will be logging back on in a minute! -
Presumably because April was pre one of their Indian court hearings, so no cash flow? But then again wasn’t it July we were told all this palava started? But in the here and now as long as they keep getting the green light every 3 months from the court this ridiculous state of affairs will continue and any winding up petitions etc will be batted away? I suppose these green lights are continually given, until they aren’t.

This is the problem when you try and be a ‘development’ club at Championship level. Embarrassing to have this standard of goalkeeping in the Championship - well embarrassing for us fans, presumably ‘the club’ aren’t bothered or they wouldn’t be taking such risks for such a vital position in the first place. But then there’s probably some ‘metric’ in which Leo and Pears are a success, sure we’ll be hearing about it on a podcast. Not a serious set up and in reality it deserves to end up in League 1. -
Jon Dahl Tomasson - Sweden coach

Coyle was sacked in the February with the club 23rd in the table three points adrift. A silly comparison but then you’ve always had a bizarre soft spot for ‘Coyley’. -

JDT has overseen a bigger mess than Coyle, sorry ‘Coyley’? Good one Merce. -
You reckon? I’d say there’s an odd rumbling again, largely from old school Venky-sceptics who’ve been quiet but are raising their head above the parapet again. But to me we are still miles away from where the wider fanbase was with them even in say 2017 (pre League 1 relegation) nevermind 2012. Certainly no turned tide from what I can see. Case in point let’s see how many Venky chants we hear around the ground until the end of the season? I’d wager zero.

Why what have they won?

Hope Sellars was given a bollocking after the game for those crosses - didn’t he know the data? Why didn’t he pass it back five yards instead? Much safer. -

He’s ‘worth’ what the market is willing to pay and a second division club in these kind of financial straits won’t be getting £25-£30 million for a teenager. -

Of course he bears a responsibility for the debacle of this season. He’s the head coach. Just strange to read (especially from a switched on poster like Joey) that he is solely responsible. -

So all the focus shouldn’t be on JDT then, should it? -

All the focus should be on JDT? Swag, Suhail and crew will be delighted to hear that . -
Jon Dahl Tomasson - Sweden coach
Mattyblue replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The club he left wouldn’t push on to the next step which was Champions League… this club won’t even push on for a Championship play off place. -

Mattyblue replied to arbitro's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Of course he got ‘sort it out’ from time to time and the team got boos, just standard stuff from a crowd in a poor performance, but I’ll re-phrase Ewood was very, very accepting of TM and was never close to turning, not a chance the standard empty and soporific midweek Ewood would’ve against Derby (we went 4th that night by the way, so why would it?) - whereas it will on Saturday if we go a goal or two down. -

So a team hurtling down the table should just have Leonard and Telalovic as strikers until May? -

Mattyblue replied to arbitro's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Ewood was very, very pro TT until the very end. This place was out of step with that feeling. On the flipsde this place has always been far more pro JDT than Ewood. -
Bloody hell Phil 😁 Does Swag’s head not look slightly out of scale there? As well as perhaps the being in the technical area bit?

The problem we have is I just don’t see them selling, at all. Most other owners that dived in to a purchase they were wholly unsuited for would’ve given it up as a bad job 5/8/10 years ago. This lot? They will keep hold of it until, well, I’m not sure what will be left by then. -
Why would they get rid of him when he does exactly what they want? Cut costs and keep the place ticking over. He will stay until he chooses to retire.
