They were poor sales too. We had nearly 11,000 under Bowyer. We are thousands behind other local clubs. They are ‘poor’ until we get back to those levels, not a success because we sold slightly more than other appalling seasons of sales.

We have 8,700 ST holders, of course that’s poor.

JDT defo has a daily look through The Chadster’s tweets and posts for inspo…

It’ll be flying in his back garden.

Ha always with the 90s reference! Ok mavericks like Eric aside. Just doesn’t happen with the modern day media trained player… even Ke*n was backed to the hilt in public to the very end.

Can you point me to an interview from a player, anywhere, ever, in which they say they aren’t ‘behind the manager’?

He did a very good job for Blackburn Rovers at a time when the Walkers had cut the purse strings. I’m not particularly arsed about what’s gone on elsewhere.

They can’t be, it’s a uniquely brfcs thing to be ‘negative’ according to some on here…

We’ve been round this buoy about a thousand times on here. Both sides will never agree, but he had us a comfortable PL side with an ever decreasing budget. Top manager.

I get that, but going into November we didn’t particularly expect the season to go anywhere, now we are in the mix already.

It really wasn’t, especially at Ewood.

Saw him absolutely smashed once in Lytham on a school night. Don’t think Bowyer ran a particularly tight ship…

What I would say is we have manoeuvred ourselves into a very handy position. Remember we hadn’t even had our 7-0 hammering from Fulham yet this time last season which left us plodding away in mid table. The charge only getting going with the Sheff Utd win in early November. So there’s every chance of a play off berth… especially if there is some backing in January (which surely there must be as it was TM himself that decided not to spend according to a few on here with the owners poised with the cheque book).

Strange, strange man.

Didn’t say he did do a bad job. Doesn’t mean he’s now going to walk into another Championship job, it’s an extremely competitive market, so walking out of one to go and be a number 2 was a risky thing to do, you can be very easily forgotten (nice bit of dosh trousered though).

Are some of you being purposely obtuse re Hasta’s posts? You can have two thoughts at once. I.e yes you may think BD shouldn’t expect to start, but he’ certainly should’ve expected more minutes in those games that we were looking devoid of ideas

Looking at the latest FF minutes they are going to need ‘further discussions’ re a Tony Parkes tribute… so that’s about two years he’s been ‘looking into it’ now. On the football side there has been much progress, alas the Swag side of the club is as laughable as ever…

So what ideas of yours have they taken on then, 1864? Considering you are a regular down there…

One season, finished 16th. Not exactly a record that’s going to have clubs knocking his door down. Who knows, he may get a decent job at some point, but chasing the dosh instead of carrying on his development as a manager means he could easily fall off the radar…

If the club needs ‘an email’ from a fan to explain that if half STs are put on sale early and when the team is riding high they could well sell better, then things are in an even worse state commercially down there than we thought…

Well looking at this article they went on sale on the 29th October last season, so presumably then they will be available from next week? With the team in a position that is surely enticing for a floating fan, it’s a no brainer (surely)… https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/blackburn-rovers-half-season-ticket-22012663.amp

Why, what’s he achieved at Championship level?

Great career move from Critchley there…

Why would JDT want his star player sold if charging to promotion in January? Venky’s seem very hard over on ‘value’, so I can’t see them giving the green light to a sale considering the fee can only reduce from here with just months left to run on it…

Well if they wouldn’t sell him in the summer, or Rothwell last January, why would they sell him this coming January?
