They will never appoint a top manger Rev, they came close with Warnock and blew it at the last minute, thats the closest they'll ever get. Mowbray is just another example in a long line of failures, you've had the same arguments with every manager thats been through the door since the idiots took over, that should tell you something. Sadly this club has had its heart ripped out, its a shadow of what Jack left us and thats not Mowbrays fault, its not Lamberts fault or Bergs, its Venkys fault, I hope the bastards rot.

He's hooked a couple of whoppers, come on chaps 😃

https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/transfer-news/blackburn-rovers-park-transfers-history-21061226 Park was attributed with the captures of several Celtic sensations through the years and their success over the past decade - with nine consecutive league titles - was aided by his ability to recognise talent. Moussa Dembele Virgil Van Dijk Teemu Pukki Victor Wanyama Scott Brown Fraser Forster Ki Sung-Yeung Gary Hooper Scott Sinclair Leigh Griffiths Dedryck Boyata Tom Rogic Thats side would get promoted from The Championship no problem 👍

When are you going to realise that it doesn’t matter who the manager is Rev, that’s been proven time and time again over the past 10yrs. It depends on whether or not you think the club can succeed under these owners. If like me you believe the answer to be a firm no, everything else is irrelevant. They could announce Pep Guardiola as manager tomorrow with Klopp as his number 2 and still balls everything up. Until Venkys sod off this club will continue to decline, it’s a travesty, we don’t deserve it.

I think posters have plenty to have a go at the manager about JH, this appointment certainly isn't one of them in my opinion.

You're not being serious JH surely? Mark Hughes likes to work with Head of Recruitment/Scout Kevin Cruickshank, he brought him here, to QPR and to Stoke from memory, its nothing strange this, in fact its very much the norm in football.

Who would you have wanted to appoint a Chief Scout if not Mowbray?

I hope this is ok mods? If not please remove, no problem. Can I just add that if you can, please donate to the Bob Willis prostate cancer research fund. Today’s game was dedicated to Bob and the fund, 1 man dies of this disease ever 45mins. https://bobwillisfund.org/

Half man half biscuit - Dickie Davis Eyes

Superb run chase by England 2nd team, chased a record total 332 and won by 3 wickets.

This is going to take some chasing down by England. Pakistan 324/7 with 1 over to go, Babar 158 not out.

The Kinks, enough said.

Didn’t you get thrown out during king rats time for doing exactly this @rigger ? I seem to recall you relocating to JW Lower for the afternoon 😃

I've just had a word with him Rev, he doesn't have any bloody curtains, his reply started in F and ended in F.........😃

Your introduction to the site isn’t going well is it…..

My mates house overlooks the ground, he said he's going to draw the curtains for the next 90 minutes 🙄

Probably the same reason why you’ve been giving Venkys a free pass since they walked through door all those years ago Rev. it’s not like the last 10 seasons (Kean, Coyle, Berg high court, Agnew, shaw, Singh, brockhall £140m debt et al) never happened is it?

I was going to post the same thing myself Matty, love the stuff.

If anyone fancies a spot of lunch before the game, our fav pub/eatery in Lancs is just a short drive from the ground: https://www.thecartfordinn.co.uk

Yes couldn’t agree more Kyle, you can’t guarantee anything with these lying swines in charge. Then we could be flirting with relegation SG, I can’t see the other 2 being as prolific between them.

Armstrong isn’t going to fire this club to promotion with the current squad, yet the goalscoring position is the hardest position to fill on the pitch….. If half of the money is reinvested we could have a shot at a playoff place and for that reason alone I’d sell if the money is right and reinvested in the team.

5 part true crime documentary on Sky Crime - Murder at the cottage - starts off slow, but ends up being very good. On the same channel, if anyone hasn’t seen The Jinx, it’s a must for true crime fans, just unbelievable, with the murderer playing a staring role throughout the documentary and that’s not a spoiler.

Great to see live cricket on BBC tonight, this will be followed by The British Lions playing Japan on C4 on Saturday. Sport on free to air Tv, the way forward for me.
