The team did, it just needed some January reinforcement, like all teams when battling for promotion, the want of trying was at the top of the tree…

Must be wrong, we were told repeatedly by a certain poster that the Manc lad is only leaving to ‘go back down south’… maybe the midlands is what he meant.

Oh I am leaning that way, but the fact both him and the club haven’t categorically confirmed it with the season now finished says you can’t be certain. Amazing that we are even having to have this conversation, what a farcical set up.

It’s interesting to see every article from Sharpe saying he’s done, was his last game at Brum, TM confirmed his exit etc. But for me his statements have all (purposely) left a bit of ambiguity in them from what I’ve read. Still a fair chance he’s staying…

Then if we aren’t a business they keep much of an eye on, surely it’s more important they put quality appointments in place in key positions, they don’t, ever, so if not malicious, certainly negligent…

I’ve made peace that they aren’t going anywhere so we need their cash, that’s just how it is in the Championship. However, it’s your posts making them out as innocent bystanders being led a merry dance by various Dastardly’s and Muttley’s on the ground that gets my goat. It’s been 12 years and if they can’t/won’t get a grip of the operation by now, that’s on them, not TM or Venus or Waggott.

My point is what you quoted. Good to see you’ve got there eventually…

12 years, Rev, and they can still be ‘played like a fiddle’ by journeymen football managers?

A proper club would’ve announced it over a week ago, we aren’t one, but If ‘the club’ (whatever that means) even pretended to have a semblance of being normal, and behaving like a professional outfit, we would see a statement today…. So we won’t.

Bds? Banned again, is he?

Nowhere, that’s why all the football hipsters that wax lyrical about Germany and how fantastically unique it is need to look closer to home for the football country with the greatest depth…

He’s played one last game of the season dead rubber, a match like that won’t tell you anything for certain either way…

They don’t, obviously…

Because more usually arrive later on, ‘optimal stock management’, obviously. We run out of shirts every season for months at a time, if you can’t remember that, fair enough.

Same thing happens even when we have crap ones. Most clubs go months of the season, every season, without a replica shirt on sale, so they?

Unlike Rothwell and Johnson, Lenihan and Nyambe were not announced to be leaving, ergo a chance they could still sign new deals… they haven’t announced another fella’s departure either.

They had ‘none left’ in August, then again in September, then again around Christmas when the team was flying , and then again in the run in… ‘optimal stock management’ one poster on here called it 😅

If Everton go down with that run in then Super Frank will be one suicidal appointment!

‘Welcome to BRFCS, home to Rovers chat since 1996’

Tugay’s first ever Rovers goal at Southampton was very similar.

Tugay liked to treat us all once a season to one…

We beat them 4-0 at their place under Cocu fairly early on last season, he’d long gone by the time the Ewood fixture came about.

Love the Wiki pages of those types of managers, no slow builds for them!

Difference is Ainsworth’s a Rovers fan, that’s literally the start and end of Chaddy’s thought process.

‘The correspondence that has arrived at the club addressed to the manager, showing their support for him as he prepares to walk away, has made clear there is widespread support for him, and condemnation of how this has played out and the focus turning to the owners.’ https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/20122682.verdict-blackburn-rovers-mowbray-really-ready-say-goodbye/ 500 letters a day he’s had!
