Cobblers, Sam Allardyce was a bent bastard Jimmy and no amount of rewriting history will ever change that. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1387883/FA-probe-50k-bung-Gael-Givets-Blackburn-move.html If you left your principles and brain at the turnstiles you could just about cope with the fact he was robbing every Rovers fan of seeing the better players come to Ewood, he was in the pocket of 1 agent, very Venkyesq actually, brown envelopes a plenty and don't get me started on him buy a round for all the Bolton fans in The Sportsmans (Bromley Cross) the night Jack Walker died. Not 1 Rovers fan played a part in his sacking, despite your hysterics on the subject, but every England fan in this country witnessed him disgracing himself on the national stage and he should have been banned from football for life. Have we signed anyone yet.....

Greedy bent bastard who got his comeuppance by being fired from England job, karma I’d say.

🤣🤣🤣 ‘Leave it alone Gav’ ……..

As I have to remind Jim on a regular basis, its not the 1970's any longer Mercer. The clubs pulling power which included a Cowies sponsored Ford Capri and free tickets to the Cavendish won't wash nowadays sadly. Its all about £££££ as the recent Cantwell deal proves nicely and we don't have any, or at least any to make a difference.

Yes. Please don’t think I’m criticising fans that don’t go, this is Mercer specific based on his quarterly criticism of new managers and staff after crying out for new managers and staff 😀

You don’t go to Ewood, so you’re one of those that has given up, that is your contribution until Venkys go by your own admission. I also have to take exception to your characterisation of our younger supports who do attend games, are all over social media and probably better placed than you or I to judge what’s going on at Ewood. To dismiss those supporters is unwise in my opinion. My original comment comes from your criticism every transfer window of anyone that works for the club, often without any foundation whatsoever. It’s all about opinions though Mercer and I’d rather be reading yours than some fabricated bullshit about insider information .

All this is very good and you're not wrong, but what do you expect with these owners? You pop up every now and then throwing out the same lines, the same sound bites about poor staff like you're expecting something to have changed. Nothing changes until the owners sod off.

Or £30k a week, European football, a medal or two and playing in front of 50,000 every other week Andy. I know which I’d choose.

Spot on John.

Then said no...... If we are skint, which we are, we are skint and teams will only allow deals at the back end of the window when those ducks are all in a row. Its the same every year for clubs with no money feeding off scraps.

Take it, snap the hands off, give it the manager like they should have done in the summer.

You’re correct on Raya’s distribution, Kaminski has definitely fallen fowl of JDT’s insistence of playing out from the back, but he’s an excellent keeper, the best we’ve had in years and the man himself puts some of that down to Benson personally, which is good enough for me.

Not aimed at you Mellor. One or two vocal posters criticised Benson just for the sake of it and that tag seems to have stuck on here, but if you look at the facts, Kaminski and Pears, they’re both better keepers than when they arrived, certainly in Kaminski’s case. ’Eureka moment anyone’?

He has no option, the squad is cut to the bone and many of those young players are not ready for Championship football.

Have you been on the Whisky with Fergie bazza? It’s all about opinions, but this side is lacking quality, strength in depth and is nowhere near good enough to be top 6 let’s alone top 2.

Those players don’t play the Diaz or Gally role Booth.

His defensive qualities are arguably his best attribute, hardly misses a header when defending from a corner if you watch. But the bottom line is he’s paid to score goals and he’s doesn’t get enough, but he’s the 2nd best attacking player on the books with no signs of money to replace him.

He’s not our best option for goals that’s Diaz and before him Armstrong, but his all round contribution makes him a great player to have in the ranks, a managers dream. Just imagine where we’d be right now without Diaz and Gallagher, the wages are irrelevant for me, both don’t earn as much Rhodes was getting and we all know the hardest position on pitch to fill is goal scorer.

Brereton has bagged around 9 league goals this season and I think Gallagher has 5. If Gallagher had 9 would he be a good striker? He offers more to the team than Diaz, no doubt about that. He needs to score more goals, I’m not sure he has in his armoury, but he’s far from the main problem with this threadbare squad.

I saw this on Twitter earlier today, I wasn’t aware of the link with Athletic Bilbao.

Bristol City 0 Blackburn Rovers 1 For all the fans making the long trek to Ashton Gate 🙏

Until these arsehole owners sod off nothing improves Rev and I take no pleasure in saying that. We deserve better as fans, the town deserves better and every day they remain at the club they piss all over Jack Walkers legacy, his memory deserves better. Venkys out and I don't care what the consequences are, I'll happily take whatever comes to get rid of those arseholes.

We have a better keep in Kaminski and we pocketed a few quid, that is why owners loved Mowbray!

Yet last seasons squad was the best we’ve had in years, but for meddling owners and a lack of ambition things could have been different. Nothing improves until the owners sod off, it’s as simple as that.

David Crosby has died aged 81, a real music icon and pioneer, part of 60’s Laurel Canyon movement. It’s almost a star a day right now, just goes to show what a productive era these people came from. RIP David.
