Mowbray has just pulled in almost £20m for Adam Armstrong, I'm sure Venkys trust him alright. It looks like both Gallagher and Ben Diaz will prove to be hits, scoring for fun this season, he's probably got 2 more cash cows that will be cashed in upon for decent money at some stage. As for the contracts, its the owners that are refusing to fund new deals, Mowbray is on record stating he wants to keep the players, at any other club he'd be doing just that, but sadly its been just one of many 'blind spots' throughout Venkys time here, letting contracts run down, Lambert in part walked because of it too. Have all our former managers under Venkys 'made conscious decisions' to let contracts run down?

It’s hard to say with any certainty. But I’m confident, if we ever get back to the Premiership, you can guarantee we’ll get 17k home fans midweek and 20k+ for Saturday games, if Venkys are a distant memory. Keep the faith.

You do a great job running this website J*B - I’m not picking a fight, appreciate all your efforts and the backroom team 👍

We have thousands of fans that don’t currently have season tickets…. This site in no way represent the Rovers fan base at large, it doesn’t even come close.

Spot on TMC 👍

I guess it depends how you judge quality. We beat Swansea, Forest and Reading today, just off the top of my head, clubs with budgets way beyond ours if that counts?

We’ve had 11 wasted seasons, why are you getting the hump now? But welcome to the party, finally Rev….

This site has around 30 people posting regularly Waco, it represents less than 0.1% of the Rovers fan base. I can assure you that the vast majority of Rovers fans are enjoying the win tonight, against an opposition that have spent way beyond our means, its a very good win, an impressive win. Onwards and upwards.

You might like to think that, but its very clear from the players themselves that they're playing for the club and playing for the manager. We are all long enough in the tooth to know when the manager has lost the players, its clear as day thats not the case, in fact I'd go as far as to say they've never been more united under Mowbray. The contract situation is down to the owners having turning off the tap, its happened under most mangers throughout Venkys time here, but not on this scale. I'm reliably informed Nyambe is on peanuts for a regular Championship player and the club are reluctant to increase that current deal by much, its a disgrace and down to the owners and the owners only. Waggot was going on about wage structures, does anyone believe Nyambe and Lenihan are asking the club to break a wage structure? The transfer window was a shambles because we're skint, the loan market was a shambles because we're skint and we're going to lose 1st team regulars because we're skint.

No wonder you don't see as many hedgehogs as you used to, 11yrs has really taken its toll on the population.

Venkys have an excellent track record of making quality appointments, what could possibly go wrong? Its a very real concern for many fans.

The Rovers and burnley rivalry TS. Interview with the author here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p09r77f1

I was speaking to a Utd fan yesterday complaining about Solskjaer, out of his depth, tactically inept, poor in front of the media, wouldn't have got the job if he hadn't been a player, you get my drift. He then went on to say that he'd like to see Solskjaer sacked and Steve Bruce back as manager, I almost fell of the chair....... He then went on to say he'd steady the ship, keep them competitive, keep them honest until someone better comes along, a bit like Mowbray at your place. Everyone knows Venkys are the problem, until they leave you'll never do anything, Mowbray is a steady hand, he'll keep you competitive in the Championship, you'll not end up in league 1 with him in charge. He has a point in my opinion. Just on Gareth Ainsworth, I want him nowhere near this football club until Venkys leave. Manging this football club under these owners will destroy his local lad reputation in 6 months. Its tough to manage your home town team in good circumstances, but under Venkys he'll be ripped apart.

The manager hasn't improved and the squad is worse than last seasons. The budgets have been cut, thats obvious, we couldn't even buy average journeymen in the summer and the contract situations are unprecedented in my 50yrs of watching the club. We sacked the European scout and haven't replaced him. As I understand it season ticket sales are down, walk ups are down too. The ticketing system was knackered at the start of the season, the live stream coverage was broke also. The club shop was closed the weekend before the season started just as we'd launched the new shirt. The grounds a mess, the beers flat and pies are stale, now the clock at the Darwen ends broke. Sponsors have tried in vein to give the club money for this seasons campaign and nobody returns the calls. Thats just off the top of my head.

The clubs a mid table championship side at best whilst Venkys remain in charge. Once you get used to that fact our situation becomes easier to accept. A shout out to the superb support tonight at a wet Loftus Road, hero’s every one if you, safe journey home.

1-2 Rovers

Absolutely Matty. Sounds like the owners are being badly advised again to me, will they ever learn?

I think you're probably right ojf, but you need match winners in Australia, players that play without fear and Livingston fits that bill. Our batting has been shambolic for the most part for the past few years, I'd have loved England to have tried something different, but its the same old tried and tested failures leading the line, Root aside and thats just not good enough for me. On the plus side I'll get more sleep, not staying up till lunch and catching the last 10 over every day!

Oh no…..2-1 Come on Rovers

Bet they’re regretting not going right about now 👍

Criminal he’s not being offered a decent contract to stay. More bad advice 🙄

Boom Gallagher, great goal.

That won't be the case if Venkys sod off matt, we'll rise as a town, a club and a fanbase, I'm certain of that.

Coventry back from the dead, had to play games at St Andrews for a season, tomorrow backed by 4000 fans at Ewood, tremendous following, a club galvanised by adversity. Don't let anyone tell you we need these charlatans from Pune, actually we need them to sod off before we can move forward, its as simple as that. Rovers 2 Coventry 1 Venkys out
