Not a Tv series but I watched 3 Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri again last night on C4, went to the pictures to see it back in 2017. Absolutely superb film, I can't find enough superlatives to describe it, has you laughing one minute and crying the next. (Not me crying obviously, because I'm a tough working class Lancastrian ) Probably the best film I've seen in 10yrs, certainly rivals Django Unchained, both in my top 10 best films ever.

Why on earth would anyone want Damien Johnson as first team manager? What criteria do you base that decision on? If someone said Gareth Ainsworth I could understand why, but a rookie coach with no experience, we've been down that road before and been burnt, badly. No thanks.

Can you send him another text and ask him if he's been in the boozer all afternoon

Lads out of his depth philip - needs replacing asap.

The entertainers - free flowing football, lots of goals, 3 points, what more can you ask for?

Absolute steal that Ben Brereton

Even now I couldn’t be in the same space as that **** and not have a ‘word’. I try not to hate, it’s wasted energy, but I hate that ****, with a passion.

The buck ultimately stops with the manager, but the purchase of BB didn't feel right then and doesn't feel right now. Gallagher is a replacement for Graham, that makes sense to me, but BB, I'm not sure whats gone on there...

But it does show that the money is insignificant by today's standards, but that doesn't excuse it being seemingly spent badly.

Everyone talks about this £12m like it should have propelled us to the Premiership had it been spent better. Part of it was funded by Raya, so it was actually £9m, spent in isolation seasons apart, chump change in the grand scheme of things. Could it have been spent better, on the face of it absolutely, but its not the reason to sack the manager for me.

Thats where we differ then Matty, I like watching footballers play football, its been great watching Nyambe progress after everyone wrote the lad off, Tosin is absolute quality, sometimes worth the admission fee alone. As for the football we play, well thats like the vast majority of the sides in the league at our level, you cut your cloth accordingly.

You've not yet come to terms with the plight the club finds itself in, like many on the site might I add. Yes we can change the manager, but I'm telling you now, without significant investment we're not going up, we're not even making the playoffs, the clubs a basket case. As for fans losing the will to watch football, I think thats more to do with your own personal circumstances tbh. Tosin is a quality player, Lenihan looks like he could play at a higher level, Dacks a magician when he's fit, Naymabe progressing nicely, Downing superb, how can fans not enjoy watching those players? We all want to win matches and progress, but you need some perspective thrown in.

The current manager has given us stability and small shoots of recovery/structure in the background, its not the sexy part football fans are interested in but its vital to the success of any business. To pull up those roots now would be a real waste, set us back years, because I can't see an outstanding candidate in the dross thats available, certainly nobody that can get a poorly run, financially hamstrung, mid table championship club into the Premiership and that would be the only goal for a new man coming in. Stick with Mowbray for now.

Its no surprise that West Brom and Leeds are in poll position to go straight up, clubs that have spent millions over the past few years, makes our £12m look like peanuts. Brentford have spent over £30m on new players over the past few years! When you look at those numbers its clear Blackburn Rovers 2020 simply can't compete and bringing in a new manager won't change that sadly. We've got to wee with the willy we've got and small improvements is the only way forward for a club like ours in 2020. Sacking the manager disrupts those small improvements and should be avoided at all costs, for now...

I’ve been watching that show since it started in mid 2000’s Chaddy. Brilliant show, tough tough work to put food on our tableS, they really earn there money that’s for sure.

Sorry OJF but I've never managed to get into his solo stuff, its hard to forgive him for splitting up The Jam.... He also needs to cut his hair, he looks slightly sinister with that new barnet. But no doubt about it, a music icon, one of the greats.

The Big Pink - Dominos

I understand the sentiment DE and you did say permanent, but Tosin is absolute quality, if he continues to improve he'll go a long way, so he can spot a player/defender when he see's one. His buys upfront are his downfall, they've made no impact at all and the money involved clouds people views, they can't get past the money. I'm not saying ignore £12m, of course I'm not, but if you took those buys away would his tenure be viewed in the same way on here?

Tremendous player frosty, he wasn’t here long, but he was well worth the admission price on his own.

The league is full of dross Mercer, the top 2/3 sides in the league have quality, the rest are bang average, but that doesn’t mean that all the managers are cr@p. I like the small shoots of recovery made under Mowbray, structure in the background, we’ve actually got a European scouting network back! Small things I know, but they all add up when you’re a basket case of a club with unstable owners.

Dack is a very good player, sorely missed, no doubt about that. But the players around him need to be improved, significantly, we have 3 quality players, the rest are absolute dross. Over to you Tony, you have 10 games to prove people wrong.

Warnock can deliver the good on a shoe string, great appointment for Boro, pity Cheston and Co fooked it up.

I probably did to be honest His set pieces were legendary outside of Blackburn, but for anyone who watched him week in week out the frustration at hitting the first man from a corner, or smashing free kicks into the stand was palpable. As for Pulis, his best days are behind him, Stoke should never have got rid, we don't want him here.

Its a superb picture, taken at the top of Livesey Court 1972 by a chap called Peter Booth. The Albion pub shining brightly, the kiosk between the Riverside and Darwen end. Wasn't it around the time the fences went up at Ewood? After an Anglo-Scottish cup game against burnley which was like the War of the Roses by all accounts.
