This board has been drip fed a steady stream of how things are changing for the better behind the scenes, posters have been asked to show patience. If that is the case, why does nobody know what the hell is going on here? Fans are speaking to club are they not? Did the club just forget to mention this little nugget? @1864roverite @Revidge Blue

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48964055 Sheffield Wednesday ended up in league 1 after a points deduction for selling the ground to the owner? sadly he got his accounting periods wrong and points were deducted for breaking FFP. Could be something similar going on here….

Scotland currently 2-3 off 4 balls against Namibia 😂

Good read WIR. This is what some of us have been saying for a while now, the clubs setup to fail and will continue to do so until the owners leave the club, doesn’t matter who the manager is. That said, Mowbray doesn’t have the ability to get this club promoted, nobody does in my opinion, so I have no problems with him being sacked if that’s the road the club wants to go down, until then he’s a safe pair of hands until new owners save us from this nightmare.

Milk turned faster than Ronnie Clayton in the game against Wednesday. Was he coming to the end in 1966 TS?

Another blast from the past, whats going on with the lush Ewood playing surface?

To say I wasn't Allardyce's biggest fan is probably an understatement........but to say the club was in decline after Hughes left is absolute bunkum. As you say toogs, Allardyce had us 10th/11th in the Prem when those muppets in Pune replaced him with that rat, then the decline started!

I remember that skip SG, they dumped loads of copies, probably where it belong to be honest.

I'm with TS on this ojf, those Aussie bowlers will rip through our top order in no time, in nick or not. I hope I'm wrong, I'd have put my house on India beat Pakistan yesterday, so it has been know 😃

😂

I read it on here bluebruce during the transfer saga/thread, but nobody really knows.

The original point I made was Mowbray bought Armstrong for £2m and sold him for close to £20 million, which by anyone’s standards is a great bit of business regardless of the sell on fee.

I couldn't agree more with your first paragraph islander, spot on. I don't agree he's been backed enough to make a difference, he's certainly been backed more than some in this league yes, but the money invested isn't going to knock the likes of Norwich, West Brom, Fulham, Bournemouth, Brentford and Leeds from the promotion places over recent seasons in my opinion.

‘He’s’ not behind Mowbray….and make no mistake, he despises the owners with a passion. That doesn’t stop him pointing out that not everything TM does is bad, despite what the blinkered would have us to believe.

We bought Armstrong for £2m and sold for around £20m, I’m not interested in net. That’s a tremendous bit of business. Diaz and Gallagher have a long way to go, but if they keep up the current scoring rate they’ll be worth far more than we paid for them, IF. Kaminsky is a star in the making, he’ll be a £10m keeper. Dack was a £10-15m player before injury, great bit of business, you can’t blame Mowbray for his injuries. £50m is probably on the low side. Ps - He still needs sacking 👍

Spot on. Now that Diaz and Gallagher are starting to fire, players wages are the new stick to beat Mowbray with....😃 Dack (when fit), Gallagher, Diaz, Armstrong and Kaminsky are looking like being good bits of business, on todays market probably worth £50m+ would you say? 1 point off the playoffs and assets like these, no wonder he's being kept around.

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….
