Do you think we should be challenging money bags Fulham, Bournemouth, Norwich, Leeds and Watford chaddy? Mowbray has had less that £1m to spend over the past 4 transfer windows, how can we compete?

Have you been a Rovers fan for the past 11yrs? If so what have you learnt?

Cocu was fired in November with Derby 6 points adrift at the bottom of the league, he was a disaster. On the flip side she went to Ewood this season for the night match and thought we were the best side she’s seen all season for 45minutes, ironic! Football fans eh

I’ve got a mate who has a season ticket at Derby, she stopped going after 5 games under Cocu because he was bonkers, didn’t know the name of the ground and didn’t know Clough had managed Derby. Agent driven garbage TS.

Not as low as if Cocu gets the gig, if that happens I’m not going again, as that appointment is agent driven and designed to line agents pockets only.

He hasn’t been, we’ve just had our best finish.

One thing we do know is Venkys won’t have a plan, the best we can hope for is that Waggott does, which again puts this once great club in an awful situation. The marketing strategy - release season tickets, release the manager but don’t tell him he’s leaving and release half the team back to parent clubs with no plan to replace them. You can only imagine season tickets are flying out the door, but seriously it just goes to show this income and loyal fans support, doesn’t matter to these owners and it never will.

I don’t think we need to look much further than this post by @bigdogsteel above for the answers. Mowbray knows the lad, realised he wasn’t up for the fight and would have sold him but for meddling owners, the rest is history. I firmly believe the £3m Bournemouth offered, reinvested in Jan, would have seen the club in playoffs, but we’ll never know.

I wonder if he’s been reading your posts for the last 6 months OEB, striking similarities to be had 😀

Don’t give them ideas Pete.

Depends how long it will take to find a sucker who will work for £500-750k a year.

https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/19886613.amp/ They should have let the manager manage, £3.5m could have made the difference as we all know his money buys have mostly been outstanding.

Even Darren Moore is beyond Venkys reach, so I think you’ll be disappointed on that one too.

The first part of your post sounds like you’re a 3yr old, but I’ll ignore that bollox. The second part, is that Darren Moore who was relegated with Wednesday, has the biggest budget on the league 1 and only made the playoffs? Can you see the point being made here, where this is going?

Just over £3m was turned down by meddling owners.

I suggest you have a read back, it was Nixon who mentioned Carlos Carva not me, I said he played good football at Braga, but do carry on. Darren Moore eh 😂 Jesus Wept….

As do 100’s of managers across the leagues K-Hod. We aren’t all saying ‘Now that Scott Parker at Bournemouth, he’s a great manager’ are we? Good end to the season, funds we can only dream of.

He’s just taken Braga to the latter stages of the Europa Cup, he’s way beyond Venkys reach anyway glen.

Happened throughout 1980’s at Ewood islander, Kendal almost got us up, Saxton too. Don Mackay was funded by Jack, he also failed. If memory serves me correctly, all had bad runs in 2nd half of the season. Don went on 23 game unbeaten run and blew it towards the end. Why? Small squads, lacking in quality beyond your first 11, no funds. Its not a Mowbray thing at all if you look beyond the tripe written on here.

Anyone who watched his Braga side this season would love his style of football, did a good job at Wednesday too, but beyond our ability to recruit or fund I’m sure.

Certainly not, but with Diaz unfit or unavailable from around the same time, that was massive for us. That said young Buckley certainly suffered a dip in form, could have been linked to having a sulking Rothwell not pulling his weight, Injuries across the whole side, it was predictable with such a small squad’ most called it in January.

He was instrumental in our loss of form when Venkys refused to sell him, he sulked, his head went down and I have no time for him. Mowbray plucked him from the scrap heap, turned him into the player he is today and this is the way he paid his manager back?

Venkys have already fucked the club Asia and they’ll continue to do so whilst the name Venky remains above the door. Mowbray is answering questions put to him, confirming what many supporters already know….The clubs a dysfunctional mess, rudderless, floating towards the next iceberg. Next manger = cheap = no budget = Shite. You heard it here first.

Doesn’t every manager?

😀 Not the 1700 that paid £100+ to attend today SG.
