Behave! You’ve can’t have spent much time in football grounds or indeed with other fans generally if you thing supporters don’t also vent - they do because they care! (Though you probably know that all too well and you are just performing your usual trolling routine)

A fair chunk of those 54 starts will have been as an 18 year old at Forest. He’s been here for nearly two years to make up the rest of those appearances (usually off the bench). Been a real decline. Is it the move? The fee? The lad himself? Mowbray? Or a combination of them all? Whatever, it’s been a waste of two years...

Competed until they went 3-1, heads dropped and we couldn’t get near them after that, would be my view. -
Mowbray: Stay or Go - A Poll
Mattyblue replied to Stuart's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Who’s buying our players with world recession happening due to the virus? -
You can look at it both ways. Apart from a yearly meeting, managers here are given pretty much free reign (which is no longer the norm in modern football, with recruitment teams/DofF etc) and generally get their feet under the table for a sustained tenure, if they bow and scrape in that annual get together....

I’m glad Sharpe has tweeted that, might wake up a few to the fact these owners are still presiding over a farcical operation that will continue to achieve the square root of f*ck all, ‘paying the bills’ or not.

‘The Venky’s’, an actual journalist ?♂️

Get real JH, we are only a small town in east Lancashire! -
I’m confused? You want our best players sold?
-
Who’s buying our players? Not many are PL quality and who in the Championship will have spare cash for fees?

Mowbray: Stay or Go - A Poll
Mattyblue replied to Stuart's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I’m not particularly talking about brfcs, so I’ve not missed any point. The wider fanbase, places like Twitter being a prime example of it, is full of fans who think Venky’s are now good owners that we should be ever so grateful to, and ALSO think TM is irreplaceable. Their primary issue with him going is not a worry, like many of those that want him to stay on here (I’m probably in this camp myself), that the owners will pick some clown to take over, but ‘little owd Rovers’ couldn’t do any better. ‘Face facts, we are a small lower league club’ etc. Seemingly not realising that it is their beloved owners that have made us so ‘little’ and seemingly unattractive to potential managers in the first place. -

Does make me laugh how fans’ own ignorance of other managers means the one in situ should never leave. -
Championship season 2019-20
Mattyblue replied to arbitro's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Sheff Wed rumours keep popping up on Twitter. As do Reading. Looks like it’s largely down to them having an even more ridiculous wages to turnover ratio than us than anything concrete. -
Mowbray: Stay or Go - A Poll
Mattyblue replied to Stuart's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Didn’t realise I was pressing for his removal? However, the fact that so many think he is as good as it gets proves how much we have been decimated by Venky’s, yet many of the same fans also salute the owners... go figure! -
Mowbray: Stay or Go - A Poll
Mattyblue replied to Stuart's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Seen plenty of the prominent members of the Rovers fan Twitter-ati all pretty much saying ‘but who possibly could be better?’ It’s Tony bloody Mowbray for god sake! He’s a nice bloke and not a bad manager, certainly better than some of the tripe we’ve seen in recent years, but it’s a good example of how we’ve dumbed down our expectations as fans and seen our club run into the ground if Tone is as good as it gets... -
No transfer/wage budget, kits, season tickets for the next campaign, then, if a country halfway round the world doesn’t open it’s borders sharpish? We in 2020 or 1920?

Leeds at Home 4.7.20
Mattyblue replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
If you think we put in decent performances at Barnsley and Wigan then you’ve lower standards than me.. -
Still don’t get your point? He’s largely managed clubs the size of Watford and Fulham, or in third rate leagues abroad, not exactly Klopp, is he?

Mowbray: Stay or Go - A Poll
Mattyblue replied to Stuart's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
There won’t be a ‘next step’, if by that you mean improvement. That’s ship‘s sailed with the piss poor transfer dealings since promotion. A next manager will need to be someone who can work on a shoestring/in an embargo. Can Mowbray do that? Would he even want to? If not, what would be the issue with a McCarthy? -

‘Results colouring the view of the performances’, well until we get points for 70% possession garnered by passing the ball around our own half then that’s kind of what fans will do... -
Mowbray: Stay or Go - A Poll
Mattyblue replied to Stuart's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Not true at all there, Gav. McCarthy constantly had to sell his best players whilst bringing in free transfers (he had a net spend of about minus 15 million, no luxury £7million signings on young forwards there) and kept them largely in the top 10, with play off appearances ... look what has happened to them since for evidence of how well he did. -
But what if he Jokanovic uses Bupa, can he come then?
-
‘Club in East Lancashire’ your new phrase? What’s the location of Ewood Park got to do with anything? He’d have a nice pad in Cheshire or Manchester with the rest of north west football, not going to live in a flat above John’s Cut Price at Mill Hill, is he?
-
No longer able to tempt a manager from fecking Millwall? Nicely sums up the wrecking ball these owners have put to this club this past decade.
-
Why? Because keeping him as manager is what he thinks the club will do. He goes at the end of the season and he’ll be all ‘Correct move for all involved. Time to move on’.
