I can’t imagine they give much thought either way to a few thousand football fans on the other side of the world.

Sure Waggott does do what he thinks is right, but it hasn’t worked here and we need a new broom. Why do ‘we’ (who’s ‘we’’, Rovers fans?) deserve to be seen as ‘scum of the earth’?

Totally agree on the playing side. Decent squad and an Academy going well. However, the club needs to see the post Covid world as a chance to re-set the commercial side, relationship with supporters, the engagement with the lapsed fanbase etc. To do this we need a clear out of the Waggott’s of this world.

He’s here till the end of his contract (May 2022), at least. I know it, surely the rest of you know it. So pro/anti TM, there’s no point getting wound up about it.

Maybe I’ve been spoilt or I’m just getting older and (even) more cynical, but I can’t say I ‘love’ any of the journeymen we’ve collected this past decade. The likes of Dack will stick with me, I suppose, but the Bennett’s of the world? It’ls like when the club Twitter was referring to Danny Graham as a ‘club legend’ the other month, now I’ve a lot of time for DG, thought he was a good, old school centre forward that largely did the business for us, but ‘club legend’? I suppose for Warren Lucy, he was.

‘Duped’, ‘badly advised’, didn’t expect those old tropes from you Darren. They were arrogant and thought they knew better than experienced operatives like JW et al. The club is a shell, stripped to the bone on the non playing side and with the money now in the top flight, the rise of our neighbours across east Lancs and the rapidly changing demographics of the town I doubt we’ll ever get back to where we were a decade ago - it was the worst possible time for the club to head into the wilderness, now with Covid on top. Does any of that mean we are not totally reliant on their cash injections? Of course we are, and I’m glad of it in these frankly scary times for professional sport, indeed TM is a lucky man to be given 4 years and not needing to ever sell a player, unheard of in this league, but their hundreds of millions have got us no further than where we are right now, largely due to dysfunctional governance and mediocre appointees. The owners themselves should have been demanding much better, yet they seem to have little ambition or plan for the club either apart from meeting their commitments, why?

Every forum going has posts like that. I don’t understand it myself, especially here where the owners are well detached from the club. Though ‘Accepting a heavy defeat’ if it led to a manager they think isn’t doing a good job leaving isn’t the same as going into matches hoping we lose/getting pleasure in us losing... which is what your point was. I’ll leave it there as I falling into your trap.

As is ‘they want us to lose’, so maybe stop posting it.

Stuff like that is also ridiculous nonsense. Maybe both sides should grow up a bit?

His best mate works on the railways...

BB was *starting* to show *something*... then he got that knock, unfortunately he’s regressed again since coming back. Obviously takes very little for him to lose form and confidence, which isn’t a good sign.

‘Some of you want us to lose’ ’wonder if some of you are actually fans’ Can this divisive, lazy shite please not be rolled out every time we win a game. FYI - nobody spends hours a day on an internet message board deep diving into the intricacies of the squad, manager, owners, pitch and on it goes of Blackburn Rovers if they ‘want us to lose’ so please stop.

Oh I don’t mean make it at Championship level, I.e maybe he will be a decent professional and actually carve out a career somewhere.

It’s the modern London accent, a real hotchpotch of cultures in there - brought up in Hackney, wasn’t he? So fair enough... The ‘traditional’ east London cockney is more likely to be heard in Essex these days...

It’s up to him, does he want it enough? Maybe this move will wake him up a it.

If you aren’t pushing for a place on the bench at 21 (never mind a start) when at one point the only competition was Bell... you aren’t making it here.

‘Just get it forward’...

Or one with the lot... Graeme Le Saux

Obviously the contract came from the Boro drawer...

Noticed Sharpe on Twitter say Lewis Thompson ‘obviously doesn’t have the same technical ability as Pickering’. Surely we should be moving him on if that’s the case? He’s 21 and hasn’t even got close to pushing Bell.

The ‘it’s one of those’ approach to data and recruitment, sounds about right...

Imagine that!

First post on his thread for two years, probably sums up the general ‘meh’ of his time here..

‘He’s behind Pallister... who can’t pull him down... and there’s the inevitable outcome - 2-0! ‘

Luton, QPR, PNE, Barnsley, Forest next five games... now’s the time Mogga, just imagine the Four Year Anniversary tributes if we go on one of our sporadic winning runs...
