Top 6 is good enough, but the manager who has the team in that position isn’t? And not only that, you won’t even go to matches because of the bloke who has the team in the position you deem good enough? Doesn’t really compute that, sorry.

I thought Sky usually picked good teams to keep putting on? 🤷‍♂️

I.e. he missed large swathes of most seasons (his personal winter break being standard) pre coming here…

Those videos are why I can still tell you about pretty much every goal we scored between say 1992 and 1998… but these days I’m fecked if you even ask me about one from last season!

And ‘St George’s Day’ has been a big event since when? Total cop out (see what I did there).

We used to for for Sunday dinner fairly often. Mothers Day meals etc etc. Just basic stuff for any hospitality/leisure business, ‘sweating the assets’ and all that, instead of the pretty much moth balled place Ewood now is outside match days…

Tickets won’t be any cheaper, they don’t bother with all that Category nonsense there - but yeah, no problem getting one now.

Lancs police all over. The ridiculous overkill for the Dingle games are testament to that…

Nothing’s changing for the EFL, I believe…

I don’t get that impression at all. Boos, yes, ‘Tony, sort it out!’, standard. Calls for his head? Cant see it. I stand to be corrected, but if we continue to fall away and finish about 9th I don’t foresee much more than a collective shrug; in the stands, in the dugout, in the ‘boardroom’. We’ll find out either way soon enough.

No I don’t expect anyone better to replace him, he’s done fine with the budgets he’s had in this league. My point was more that outside perhaps, Dalglish and Hughes, top, top managers for us in their own ways, I’ve never known any other manager be so bulletproof with large swathes of the support as this mon is. I suppose it’s a sign of how standards and expectations have nosedived since this shower turned up nearly 12 years ago…

No PL game has been chosen for that night, so every chance. The price of ‘success’, ay…

‘Never refuse a cheque’

Videos, I suppose. But we are pretty much the only club from non league and up that I’ve come across without a programme…

Will it be finally be announced as the ‘Tony Parkes Riverside’ at the Blackpool game? Seems apt as it’s his official fundraising game - and it is yet another thing Swag’s been ‘looking into’ (for about two years now)…

It’s all anecdotal, as around me I’d get my head bitten off if I even offered up mild criticism. He signs a new contract on the pitch pre KO against Blackpool and I certainly wouldn’t expect to hear much in the way of dissent. ‘Good move by the club’ ‘Who else we going to get?’, ‘STABILISED the club!’

Fecked if I know!

Don’t see that myself. Yes, there was the age old ‘Manager X, sort it out’, but that has always been the go to chant for whenever the team is in a rut. He’s still Teflon Tony at Ewood.

Yeah good riddance, ay 1864?

These owners don’t replace the pitch, never mind a stand…

Bit silly that Clitheroe

And these figures have been validated? PNE… and *Blackpool* with substantially higher wage bills than us? Millwall and PNE with higher wage bills than Boro? Of course we are nowhere near being big boys when it comes to salaries these days, but still dubious with the accuracy of that table.

He will go for a good amount, just like Adam Armstrong, and just like AA the team won’t see any of the BB cash either…

Good job they brought in a manager that would inspire the players and fans!

It’s ‘moo’, actually.
