You’ve posted some rubbish this week but that just about takes the biscuit. The guy needs backing, the owners are once again failing to support the manager, nothing new here… Venkys out.

Mowbray going to Sunderland.

Mowbray to Sunderland

Started like we left off at Sheff United. This current side will go down, we need reinforcements and quick.

Sounds about right doesn’t it 🙄

We've read a lot of bullshit posted over the past few seasons about the backroom team, Benson in particularly, well here's the real inside story from someone who knows: https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/20781950.coaching-consistency-key-blackburn-rovers-no-1-thomas-kaminski/ It was really important for me,” Kaminski said of Benson staying on. “Since day one I’ve had a really good connection with me. “He’s always been honest with me, telling me where to improve, so he’s definitely not telling me every day how good I am, but he’s telling me every day what I need to improve which is important for me “He tells me the truth which is important.” Kaminski has welcomed the new approach under Jon Dahl Tomasson in what he described as a ‘European’ coaching style. But keeping continuity within the goalkeeping department is something the Belgian has welcomed. He said: “I think that part of consistency is important I don’t think I’m the only one who thinks that. “The other goalie’s find that important. “Ben is an ambitious person, very intense with us which is exactly what we need, what I need.”

Got a bottle of Whispering Angel Rosé (Cotes de Provence, France 2021) ready for the ice bucket after the football, win, lose or draw. Not usually my tipple to be honest, Mrs bought a case back in June, lovely stuff, 6 bottles didn't last long!

The 3 stooges in Pune, who clearly live in a parallel universe to the rest of us as the last 12yrs have shown. “We have a young team here, and also a great academy, and the owners have a clear vision, which is to develop players and become a sustainable Premier League club over time, so I’m really happy to be involved in this exciting new chapter,” Tomasson said.

Thanks Islander, I'd forgotten about Brittain. Hyam deal not done as yet according to papers, its takes us an inordinate amount of time to get deals over the line.....

Have we actually signed anyone else other than the lad from Peterborough?

Link? or just made up numbers?

@RevidgeBlue Link?

England superb today on a glorious barmy Old Trafford day. 250+ lead should be enough, fingers crossed.

Armstrong?

Classing wages as part of this football clubs budget shows how far we've fallen, it really does. We all remember back in 2011/12 these owners basically sacking club legends "To bring wages under control" another abject failure from the Pune morons. Apathy or ambition? Blackburn or Middlesbrough, Venkys or Gibson........

Its a dark art this running a football club, who knows what money goes where, be it Armstrong's £10m+ or the training ground bonus bonanza.... K-Hods point about reinvesting is a valid one, even a small amount could have seen us into the playoffs last season, but no it was kept in the safe, as I suspect the BBD money will be too.

I often wonder if some posters seats actually face the pitch. Khadra left the pitch on Saturday to a booming standing ovation, having played for one of the best sides in the division who had just torn us a new arsehole. He was a constant threat, I wish we had him in the side now.

To be honest Mowbray worked wonders in the final days of last seasons transfer window with only £1.99 to spend, but your main point is spot on Wing Wizard. I watched a Sheff Utd side rip us to pieces last Saturday, they've already done there business, a side going places which included a very lively Khadra that we got nowhere near all afternoon. Apathetic is the word, it starts in Pune, why should anyone give a toss if the owners don't.........

It’s getting rather desperate now isn’t it? JDT joined the club 2 months ago and we still haven’t plugged any of the gaps left by outgoing players from last season. On his appointment he said: “We have a young team here, and also a great academy, and the owners have a clear vision, which is to develop players and become a sustainable Premier League club over time, so I’m really happy to be involved in this exciting new chapter,” Tomasson said. Well JDT, you can’t say you didn’t know what you were signing up for……

Didn’t work out that well selling Armstrong, I’m not sure it would now selling Diaz.

What an absolute shambles of a transfer window, do these owners call this ‘supporting the new manager’? Its embarrassing, we are now desperate and I’ll wager JDT probably won’t see this season out as manager of Blackburn Rovers. Venkys out.

Mate of mine used to do that commute for years (Stopped in 2019), took 2hrs from Rossendale most days, M6/M56 was a nightmare, Stockport pyramid too. He actually packed the job in because of the commute in the end. Unless you left at the crack of dawn and came home at 3pm you'd struggled. Be interesting to hear if its still as bad, with more people working from home these days, good luck AJW.

Look at the players in that clip, some superb talent and not just Tugay. Its criminal how far we've fallen under this lot, we should never accept what they've done to this football club. Happy Birthday Tugay.

I'm watching The Offer on Paramount+ at the moment, it centres around the making of The Godfather in 1972 and events that surrounded the film. Been a good watch so far, enjoying it.

@tomphil Is Fury beating Usyk? I think so, but looking forward to seeing the fight if it happens. You make a good point above about Joshua not grappling, not leaning on Usyk for 10 rounds, I don't think Fury will make that mistake.
