Many thanks to @glen9mullan for his time and effort once again. We've had 12 months of cock waving from certain quarters, "We can't tell you this, we can't tell you that" and here we are, straight to the point, on the open forum for posters to read. I've long been of the opinion we are better off with a CEO than not, this has reaffirmed that view for me, he's come across ok here, but we need initiatives and actions from him, not just words. Thanks Glenn.

No

Wasn’t Brotherston a left winger?

You’ve been supporting these owners for the past 12yrs Rev and it seems like you’re still struggling to see where the real problems lie…… Venkys out, or this club continues to decay and decline on your watch.

The football club is on its arse financially, Mowbray put us in pole position for promotion at Christmas, the owners failed to deliver. A change of manager doesn’t alter the facts, it should come as no surprise to anyone we are signing nobody. How long will JDT put up with this lack of investment? Longer than Lambert?

Not heard that saying in ages Matty 😀

Our former head of recruitment already making an impact at Ibrox.

Its next on my list Hypnotic. I started to watch the first episode a few weeks back and right away noticed a grown up Marlo Stanfield playing a policeman.

Our support is superb, even with these cheap bastard owners we still turn out in big numbers.

This site can testify to that 😉 How are you Mercer? Enjoying the summer I hope.

I've just been reading the pre-season thread and some of the comments in here, we cannot go into this season with just the current crop of players or we'll be relegated in my opinion. The reason why we fell away last season was due to a lack of strength in depth, practically relegation form after Christmas, Diaz international duty and his injury hit us hard obviously, but those 14/15 players from last season had to perform week in week out for the entire season and that was never going to happen. Moving forward to this season, we've lost Van Hecke, Lenihan, Nyambe, Rothwell, Hedges, Johnson and Khadra from our first team squad, let that sink in for a minute........ Academy kids in pre-season games are all well and good, but asking them to play 20/30/40 games a season is madness, we need new blood in the building and quickly.

Yes super stuff by Ireland den. Hammered in 1st test, they rode their luck last weekend when Ta'avao was sent off in 1st half, but today was exceptional by Ireland, historic. Hoping England can do the same shortly against Aussies, flicking between Lancs v Yorkshire game too.

Absolute tripe.

At the cup game in Glasgow, I was struck by the numbers of Irish teenagers singing songs about IRA killing the English, when most of them were just a twinkle in daddies eye when the troubles were raging. This was in the pubs close to ground, we were in The Bairds Bar for a while, most of the pub in town were fine and to be honest ignoring the spotty knobheads the Bairds was fine too.

If we sign no one we'll be playing the tea lady, oh wait a minute........ hasn't she been sacked too? Get your boots out of the cupboard rigger.

QPR tickets on sale, seasons fast approaching, have we signed anyone yet? Or is it time for the relegation thread @jim mk2

Bought Bob Dylan tickets for London Palladium in October today, saw him in Blackpool on his last UK visit, superb. Bruce Springsteen tickets on sale next week.

Its all rather predictable isn't it. You can change the manager, change the players, change the scout, change the colour of the Blackburn End bogs, but until we change the owners we are never going to change the ambition at the club. I'm mindful to start the relegation thread myself, but I don't want to steal @jim mk2thunder. Worrying times.

I've been called worse, occasionally by you 🤣

Billionaire owners eh...... It was pointed out last season that Mowbray missed out on all his original loan tagets, now you know why. It ended up really well with Van Hecke, thats testament to the manager and his scouting team, but again we find ourselves unable to compete in the loan market as well as the transfer market. I'm sure JDT knew the constraints he's be working under when he signed, how long he'll put up with this is anyone's guess.....

Loved the film, great to see those actors and director back one more time, but the story was way off the mark. Its widely agreed Frank Sheehan was not involved in the killing of Hoffa, this film was more than just creative license from Scorsese, it was made up, based on the book, but I'm still glad he made the film.
