  1. 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 😅
  2. If Everton go down with that run in then Super Frank will be one suicidal appointment!
  3. Tugay’s first ever Rovers goal at Southampton was very similar.
  4. Tugay liked to treat us all once a season to one…
  5. 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.
  6. Love the Wiki pages of those types of managers, no slow builds for them!
  7. Difference is Ainsworth’s a Rovers fan, that’s literally the start and end of Chaddy’s thought process.
  8. ‘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!
  9. Considering they released two away kits at the same time that were both the quintessential Rovers change strips; red and black halves, yellow with blue trim, it can only be downhill from here…
  10. That Bristol Rovers/Northampton battle in L2! Northampton won 3-1 at Barrow, so Bristol Rovers needed to win by 7 goals to nab automatic promotion… they scored their 7th in the 85th minute. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61364370
  11. Come on lads. He’s obviously pulling your plonkers!
  12. Good thing about him getting demob happy and spouting off like this, is it might open a few eyes of those in the fanbase that blindly defend these owners to how they haven’t changed, at all.
  13. Both those explanations can be true…
  14. Good job the club does the Goal of the Season before Easter, isn’t it!
  15. No, it was ‘Wee Duggie’, and merely ‘Coyley’. 😏
  16. Listening to Radio Lancs it certainly doesn’t sound like the journos and Kevin Gallagher are in anyway certain that he’s going…
  17. Great memories, yet can’t remember one this past decade (well apart from that time we got relegated to the third division).
  18. Difference being other billionaires use their clubs as a vehicle for glory, political clout, sport washing, brand development etc etc, so put their money where their mouth is… this lot? 🤷‍♂️
  19. Good little insight into football manager life there, very nicely remunerated, so can live the life of Riley between jobs…
  20. Sounds great! Putin, get yourself over to Pune!
  21. And that is less preferable than finishing 10th to 18th in the second tier in front of a two thirds empty ground with a team of loanees and journeymen, and still getting spanked 7-0 at home and putting in stinkers of performances at the likes of Peterborough, is it?
  22. Will we buggery! The top end of the PL is now full of petro-sovereign state clubs!
  23. End of the day is the PL now a big city/big fanbase closed shop? The fact you have had Watford, Palace, Burnley, Bournemouth, Fulham, Brentford in and around it says not. Therefore it is possible to rise again, but not plausible with these owners.
  24. I can believe it! Feels like a lifetime ago that we were a PL club, indeed watching old clips I sometimes feel like I’m watching another club entirely…
