Every chance they will, such is the inherent anti-competition nature of parachute payments. But I suppose we used to say that about the likes of Norwich, as we are seeing eventually one too many horrendous PL seasons and the collection of overpaid, demotivated players you are left with catches up with you.

So… he’s not the new Pep then? https://www.uptheclarets.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?style=2&f=2&t=73023

‘Dreadful ’ initial three months? We were sat second in the league after said months.

Loves that armband does Trav, just watch him when he comes on as sub (even in the 90th minute or whenever), keeps tapping his arm until Hyam or SS hand it over. You’d need to chop his arm off to prise it off him 😁

The ‘aw shucks, didn’t expect little owd Burnley to be doing this well’ routine wore very thin.

Dingle article translation = It’s crap not being able to compete and losing every week, so we are looking forward to next season with our huge parachute payments when we get to win instead every week against sides that can’t compete.

Every year this happens. Have a look at any other club’s website around Christmas and in the new year, never seems to be an issue for them. China, Suez Canal, Macron, Covid have all been blamed on here for these seemingly unique annual logistics issues in BB2, absolutely nothing to do with poor stock management and procurement, of course.

Prime pompous Jimmy Hill there 😁

So we won’t have at least one of the shirts in stock at Christmas, again? Why does this only happen here?

It was that second big injury he got at Newcastle in 1997 that changed his game entirely, totally lost his pace, turned into a target man after that.

Great corrective that to when folk say ‘’well we had shit crowds in the 80s in this league, just how it is here without Jack”. Pretty much everybody had shit gates then, just like pretty much everybody’s gates are at a decades high now… with a very notable exception. Football crowds in this country are booming at all levels, from the PL through to non league, alas the mismanagement of this football club means we have somehow missed out entirely.

By a few on here, not the wider fanbase. But that wasn’t the point being made, SS obviously didn’t need a full season to get up to speed.

Szmodics didn’t take a full season to get up to speed, after a slow start he hardly missed a minute post January and was a key player in the run in… honestly, the mental gymnastics some engage in on here 😁

No more international breaks until March. Hallelujah 🙌

Hudds are bottom 3, crap season, so they’ll bring 1500 or so max here in January, so no real issue to charge them a lower rate. But also agree to forgo 7,300 Leeds at Category A just to ensure those folk that are substantially fewer in number that watch Rovers away don’t get ripped off ? No chance.

To be fair I bet I could still list every player from every Rovers squad c1992-1998… the present Bournemouth squad, not so much.

Bod in the train station is always good for ale, tap room of the Titanic Brewery.

Yes, and folk can disagree with it, just like we can be disagreed with.

‘I probably have more friends than you have cows’ ‘I have a hundred cows’ ’Err, well, I have a hundred and four friends’

It’s all about priorities, most football clubs put in the effort to go in to bat for their fans, the whole point of a football club. Waggott’s ‘effort’ is to squeeze out as much dosh as possible out of big away followings, he has literally zero interest in the Rovers travelling support. In Swag’s cold calculations, what relevance do a relatively small number of people getting a train/coach over to Leeds then ripped off at Elland Road on a random Saturday have to him? The bloke is purely here as a hired hand to tick the club over for far away, uninterested owners, he has zero feeling or passion for Blackburn Rovers and it’s supporters.

Dodged a bullet there, didn’t we. Could’ve led to a decade in the wilderne… oh.

The perennial 12 year old 😁

It still is… just not at BRFC.

Doubt there’s much brass on the table in the Chilean league. He’ll be back in the Championship on loan soon enough.

When I’m next freezing my arse off at Ewood on a Tuesday night I’ll remember the reason why… so they can shoehorn in all the fixtures due to stopping the season three times between mid September and mid November for these bore-fests.
