Agreed DE. I'd also put the Sheff Utd FA Cup game up there. Ok we lost the game, but the lead up to that tie, the ticket sales flew off the shelf, arriving in Sheffield to see thousands of Rovers fans was sight I thought I'd not see again. The match was scintillating, the result not so much, but to see over 6000 away fans at Bramall Lane, we could have sold 10,000, just proves this club still has the pulling power, we just need new ownership for the fans to come back and that will happen, its only a matter of time.

Well one things for sure, Eustace ticks one of the key components coming into this job, he's worked with bonkers owners who don't understand the game. Imagine sacking a manager who has dragged the club from relegation candidates to playoff contenders in little more than a season, then having the foresight to replace him with Weetabix head! Welcome to the funny farm John, I wish you all the luck in the world, you're going to need it. VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

This club will rise again my friend and when it does, you can take you place at Ewood once again and do your good old mum proud.

I didn’t go against QPR because the bastards sold Wharton at the first opportunity. I won’t be going tomorrow because the bastards have forced a good manager and a good man out of the door. They can shove the Newcastle game too, I’ve given my tickets away. Of course I hope we beat Stoke, but as fans we must try to get these bastards out of our club, by hook or by crook. VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

Absolute class act, far to good for a club run by these rats. VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

This will be the narrative in years to come, much like "Lambert was lining up the Celtic job", which was also bullshit. The owners pushed both through the door with lies a deceit, its as simple as that. VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

I loved his honesty tomphil, wasn't scared to speak his mind and held those above him to account on broken transfer promises. Fingers crossed on NDA, I hope he comes out and slaughters them.

Excellent post Tony. Best manager under this lot by a country mile and they found a way to bollox it up. He took them by surprise last season almost finishing in the playoffs, that having lost key players in the summer too. They couldn't allow that to happen again and here we are. I wish him all the best for the future, he's been treated appallingly by the club, a club I don't recognise any longer.

Not without a transfer budget Josh, but I understand the sentiment. Any new manager coming in has zero budget, it’s all heading one way.

His cheeky smile seems to have lingered longer with you than it has with me 😁 We'll see how this ends up.

I didn't see it, but even if I had, right now I'd see the bigger picture. We have lost a very good manager due to the club being in the gutter and I expect us to be relegated as a result, forgive me for not celebrating his departure.

My thoughts on Allardyce are well documented, but I'd have him in right now, he's perfect for the shit we are in.

He was forced to play academy players nowhere near ready, he was forced to play players not up to the Championship standard, injuries have hit us massively. Look what he did in his first season before funding was pulled and several players walked for free and were not replaced. He will go on to bigger and better things, its clear he has something special about him as a manager.

It won't in our house islander200. As soon as the offical announcement comes, our tickets are going in the bin and we won't be going again until we get a change of ownership. The only power we have as fans is to withdraw matchday support, thousands already have, many more I'm sure will follow. VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

I saw Springsteen last summer, tickets started at around £60 if memory serves me correctly, I'm paying more to see Richard Ashcroft in Halifax later in the year! But I agree with the sentiment.

Its interesting that the new manager frenzy is in full swing on the JDT thread, yet anyone who is capable of seeing the bigger picture should be on here trying to bring about a change of regime. Tells you all you need to know I guess....

If Pep Guardiola joined tomorrow these abhorrent owners would find a way to tie both his hands behind his back and **** him over. Any talk of new managers is futile until we get rid of these morons. If JDT goes, I'll be following him and I hope many more will too. VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTER!

Thanks for the update Josh. I'm absolutely perplexed that a bunch of players are complaining about the atmosphere when they've lost game after game after game, is this a ferking joke? How do we get more fans in the stadium? Start winning games lads. Can you imagine this kind of thing happening at any normal football club? Jesus wept

What a complete and utter shambles of a football club, the best manager we've had since these ****s took over and they've forced him out with incompetence and lies. I think that is me done until these lot piss off.

Your vitriol should be aimed at the owners in my opinion, these are the people that employ mediocrity, have employed mediocrity for the past 13yrs and will continue to employ mediocrity until they scurry back under the rock from where they came from.

Amen 👍

I fear you are spot on Paul. JDT has been sold a dream that is now turning into a nightmare, these owners are stripping him of his dignity and damaging his reputation in the process, I'm surprised he's still here!

Good effort @alex l 👍

I'm not going today in protest at the sale of Adam Wharton, a Blackburn lad, Rovers season ticket holder and I'm sure someone who didn't want to leave this club at this stage of his career. I don't care about paying bills, I don't care about keeping the lights on, this sale is one of the lowest points under these abhorrent owners and we have had many! They'll be melting down the Jack Walker statue next for scrap. VENKYS OUT

Nasty cut for once, a decent excuse I guess.
