An established Premier League club couldn’t afford an 18 year old from the Championship who’s played a dozen or so games, aye ok.

The club in the 80s thought as big as was feasible - local businessmen doing all they could, and the fact we spent most of the decade knocking on the door of the top flight without a pot to piss in backs that up…contrast that with what these billionaires have overseen.

Mods - Maybe merge this with the Dolan thread already going (page 3)?

The mentality of modern day BRFC… ’(Don’t) think big’

Jury’s out on GB for me, but I do think he has some professional standards and has already brought in some decent players. JDT is obviously a highly driven professional that’s been at the very top of the game… Unfortunately they (and the club) is being continually let down by the small time, amateur hour operation that Swag oversees.

The human nature element of players running down contracts is often ignored. Many a player will, even subconsciously, look to coast until the end of the season - doesn’t want an injury etc. Rothwell and BBD are prime examples, waste of time keeping them around if a decent offer is on the table.

Worse than Coyle now 😁 I mean, that’s just total nonsense.

I know he was, and and I disagreed with him.

I was on about his ‘negative comments’, he was a manager that talked a load of shite, like most of them. But no he wasn’t ‘mostly dog shit’

He’ll be getting those Category A+ tickets out of retirement….

Historical and cultural vandalism in 1974 by Heath’s government to reduce ‘Lancashire’ to the present rump.

As a metropolitan area, yes, however the county palatine of Lancaster is still in place . They are as Lanky as anyone. 🌹

Sounds a terrible way to spend an afternoon… but whatever floats your boat!

Presuming it’s on a device and you ain’t there, of all the games, why the bloody hell you picked that one to watch? 😁

Oh their fans are completely obsessed, you see it all over social media, they constantly bang on about us even when charging to the title, I wouldn’t give them a second thought if the roles were reversed. But team wise, I don’t see them ‘wanting it more’ at Ewood, just better players, unfortunately…

Half their team are loanees, so why would the fixture mean *so much more* to them when we still are going for promotion?

Let it go, Exiled. 😁

They had Lucas Moura playing too, a mockery they are making of the competition, I tell you, a mockery.

Considerably better team, obviously, but why will a side (probably) already champions and having a late season stroll ‘want it more’ than a team still chasing promotion? Something would be very off if that was the case.

Nope, did a decent job. (Obviously you despised the bloke a much as you love JDT).

Another Rovers team that don’t really bother with draws…

More like 300 booing and the rest either half heartedly clapping/ignoring them.

Decent/average, splitting hairs, really. But he should never be lumped in with most of the others. ‘Tarnished forever’… maybe on here, sure the wider fanbase will have forgotten most of the tripe he came out with already.

So anyway, Mogga was a decent manager for this club, and should never be talked of in the same breath as some of the complete clowns this lot have appointed.

What context am I missing? UD said ‘apart from JDT, all the others have been total dog shit’. Not ‘generally they’ve appointed total dog shit managers’. Ergo Mogga was ‘total dog shit’… he wasn’t. (But then again UD was calling JDT ‘a dolloper’ a few weeks ago.)
