It’s a much tougher league now than it was then. The fact we only had to worry about bloody Shrewsbury tells you that… and we certainly won’t be buying another Dack.

Folk confuse ‘bodies through the door’ with actual Championship quality/ready footballers.

Whataboutery. But ok I’ll take you on as you obviously have a soft spot for him, must be because you are an Accy lad. Yes Bell should’ve keep it behind closed doors too. But two wrongs don’t make a right, he’s the custodian of the club, not an employee after his next contract, it’s called decorum. Anyway I’m glad he has done it this way as we may now stop hearing what a fantastic guy he is especially when he messes up the replacement and they end up back in non-league… you know the level those two dragged a club with a few hundred fans at the time out of.

He was delighted, clearly.

Players raise their games in high profile cup ties, Chaddy. Then they revert to mean. You not noticed?

So Holt can’t be professional? 25 years they’ve spent there. Taking them up four divisions from playing the likes of Lancaster City to Sheffield Wednesday. I’m glad folk are waking up to what a dickhead ‘the best owner in football’ is (no wait that’s Venky’s according to him).

That’s football, nothing lasts forever and perhaps was time for a change. But that statement. Piss poor stuff from a club ‘that does things the right way’. Those two absolutely transformed a club that was equivalent to a Clitheroe when they got hold of it. You’d imagine it was rushed out post a pissed up Holt rant. Possibly something more fitting will be posted tomorrow.

Can you imagine. Radio Lancs don’t even have the budget to send a co-commentator to away games these days - case in point Brett Ormerod sitting back in the studio with a 10 second delay yesterday.

Like a horde on The Walking Dead.

To be fair most on here (maybe not the lemmings on wider social media) were aghast by his comments in his big eve of KO interview… but looking back he was merely stating the truth. This club has no ambition outside not being in League 1 and ‘developing’ players - and it hasn’t tried very hard to even fulfil ambition 1. To paraphrase den, ‘operate like Crewe, become Crewe’.

I have. Think I’ve been on here too long, I have a fair few catchphrases. 😄 But yes, it doesn’t matter one bit if he gets results, so crack on, John, but if you don’t mind I won’t waste my time listening to you either.

What was your signature phrase back in the day, den?

‘They literally can’t be any worse’… oh they can!

Tuesday maybe not to any great extent as a load of regulars will serve it. Plymouth, definitely. The only ‘brainless’ folk are the ones that have undergone a Venky lobotomy post about 2017z

Thought it was just me. Tried one interview and it was a banal collection of cliches largely consisting of ‘Blackburn’ ‘you know’ ‘togetherness’, ‘Hedgy’, ‘Pearsy’ etc etc 🙄 I’m back to swerving all their pre and post match tripe like I’ve been for every Venky appointment, JDT aside.

Very curt statement considering 25 years of service taking them from the Northern Premier (tier 7) to at their best not a million miles away from the League 1 playoffs. Holt must’ve been on the ale last night again.

Unfortunately a good chunk of the fanbase don’t have said half a brain cell and it will be JDT that gets the blame.

So doing what he’s paid to do? 👏

‘We win together, we lose together’ didn’t last long, did it…

Have to pick up wins against Millwall and Plymouth (or 4 points at least), as I certainly can’t see where many more are coming from after that - can’t see the four points either considering we’ve one win in fourteen. One of the biggest weeks for many years coming up… yet the people who actually own the club couldn’t give a flying fuck about it.

We were told he was improving?

Wait for the ‘it doesn’t matter, nobody calls us that outside the area’. Yep, quite right, they don’t, which means it’s a canny little move if he does start to do so himself - JDT cottoned on to that straight away, and to be fair Mogga did from time to time.

Yep, there’ll be a Waggott Close, Venus Drive, Rovers Fold.

‘Only difference’ from Ke*n. Aye, almost two peas in a pod, aren’t they…

They burned through the first Wharton instalment already?
