Presumably still ‘an excellent appointment’ according to some esteemed posters on here?

Yeah, why not, after ditching the EFL mandated supporters consultations they’ve also somehow managed to wrangle the FF down to just two meetings during the season. So might as well get rid of pressers too as all the local journos are suddenly ‘not up to the club’s very high levels of professionalism’, nothing to do with wanting to avoid scrutiny, of course.

We are worse off in the long run as he’ll be gone sooner rather than later and a grand old club like them will recover. We will continue to see wages paid (for an ever lower wage bill) for ever and a day as we fall down the leagues.

Two, yes just two meetings being held during this season. ’The club is always willing to engage our supporters’.

You’d think ChatGPT would get the spelling right at least…

It’s free for ST holders or the games are at Brockhall where anybody can rock up. Academy teams aren’t there for anything but to find those odd diamonds for the first team, the rest are just making up the numbers until they end up at a Barrow or in Tesco. If you are expecting no holes barred fights for glory then more fool you for wasting your four quid at Leyland.

Not this again, please., I’m begging you all.

Seen some clips, waking pace and no fans, right up Bucko’s street.

Why do so many middling Spanish sides win European trophies if it can’t compete with the mighty Championship?

Out of his depth, ridiculous statement as his first season showed. The only folk out of their depth were the no marks in club ties JDT had to deal with on a daily basis.

Get a few assists at Chesterfield this season and I definitely foresee a move to a Real Sociedad

Presumably Vinners’ standard distaste for the Walker family… which to be fair he’s bang on to have (not to the unhealthy level he has it, but still!)

Don’t call it a Tinpot league though, JBN, the Celtic crew on here get very upset!

Just checked me map, yep, Blackburn is east Lancs, cheers RTID!

It’s because he’s been part of pro football since being about 8 years old, he’d have been surrounded by pros at the club all saying that. If he’d just been a fan with his Grandad I doubt he would… still should though, just sounds wrong with an east Lancs accent.

Course not, and that’s exactly what they want. Same will be for the rest of the club when the academy, the training ground, the Riverside ‘isn’t viable for a League 2 club with small crowds and income’. The women’s team is the canary in the coal mine.

‘Can you fulfil your 38/46 games?’ ‘You can? Great, crack on then’. That’s the only regulating the governing bodies fixture organisers of English football do.

And that’s fine as they would work their way up the Nations League groups accordingly. However, open qualification groups are no longer fit for purpose post the proliferation of ‘new’ and micro-states as UEFA members these past twenty years or so.

San Marino will never be anything but a mismatch, adds absolutely no value for them to be playing top tier nations again and again.

Exactly, there’s a reason Chorley and Liverpool don’t enter the FA Cup at the same stage.

The qualifiers are a waste of time and tell you very little, good or bad. Full of mismatches and 11 players camped in their own box. Scrap them, sort out qualification through the Nations League and play offs and give the actual season some time back.

“ITs A cITy cLUb ThO!”

Come on Rev, don’t start slipping back into your old ways now. Occam’s Razor. There is no pro women’s team here because the owners don’t want to fund a pro women’s team.

Oh boo hoo. One of their longest PL stretches in decades, team full of internationals, 60,000 gates every week and recently won a European trophy 🎻

I suppose from the regime’s perspective he has been an excellent appointment.
