This forum can not afford any legal fees. We only just survive as it is (side note, please buy from the terrace store and put our discount code in to keep us alive!). in the meantime, if anyone carries this on past this point in the thread, I have no other option but to hide your posts. If you continue I will have to put bans on accounts.

I believe they’re in a lock up in the Darwen End?

Remember folks - its Xmas coming up! Buying with the code BRFCS not only gets you a discount, but really helps the site. We don't ask for donations - but to do that we need to keep it running through advertising and sponsorship, so every penny you spend with TheTerraceStore helps support BRFCS.

León, Guanajuato, no less.

Firstly, well done to everyone for discussing something they disagree on without this resulting in chaos! For what it’s worth, I think TM is far too conservative and often seems to play players or use formations which I think worry too much about the opposition rather than concentrating on our own positives. An example of this would be the “two and a half strikers” which he insists on playing no matter who we play, whether it be league or cup. Do I think TM is a coward? Absolutely not, I think he’s a very genuine man, a successful manager and clearly a family man after reading his interviews. I’ve never met him, but I suspect he’s extremely intelligent and full of knowledge. Do I think his approach to football has, at times, been cowardly? Yes, probably. An example of being Charlton away last in L1, when a win would have resulted in us winning the league - TM put out a stinking team and we rolled over. Equally, playing some of the lesser quality teams in this league and worrying in the press about them drives me absolutely insane.

I hate to go all Mercer on you, but I think we will win convincingly tonight. 3-1 or something similar.

Fair play - I’ve asked them to try and understand their audience for years now and they never seem to have made an effort to. I’ve filled in quite a detailed response in trying to improve the experience at Ewood as that’s one thing that can’t be replicated anywhere else. At the moment I believe most people aim to get to the ground 5 minutes before kick off and leave immediately after - Jacks Fanzone needs to sell good drink at local pub prices. The concourse needs to be encouraging support, affordable drink and food, replays of better time, atmosphere pumped into it through the speakers. Nobody gives a damn who has won the bonus ball!!

I see Mulgrew and Raya are both getting great reviews at their new clubs. Perhaps they weren’t the problem after all...

Is it time to take this back to the vote..?

We don’t mind the trilby.

It’s not really about what you’re like, it’s more to do with the financial situation which most people in Blackburn find themselves in means paying monthly is the only viable way to get a season ticket because they can’t have £300+ leave their back account in one month.

Wow - the kiss of death from Chaddy is decent enough evidence that the tide may be turning...

Lowlights*

Said it before, I’ll say it again. He’s been here too long and has too many relationships to start making the big changes which he needs to do. The big signings he’s made haven’t worked or had enough impact. He will he remembered for finding room for Bennett, continuing with Evans, 2.5 attackers plus Gallagher and Brereton. Sad really, but this ends with him either being sacked or leaving with us essentially, no different to where we are now.

Good news! BRFCS has partnered with TheTerraceStore.com until the end of the season. As partners, all BRFCS members and podcast listeners will get access to an exclusive discount on their site - which sells retro football memorabilia. We've previously rejected sponsorship from numerous suppliers (vaping companies, gambling companies) but have chosen to partner with theterracestore.com because we truly love their products and hope you do too. If you are a customer, please make sure you enter our discount code - “BRFCS”. Not too much will change for you - you'll notice our logo now includes a direct link to their website and our homepage now features their products. As well as this, high traffic threads (match threads, transfer threads) will be brought to you through sponsorship from TheTerraceStore and you'll see advertising from them on this threads. Our podcasts will also include advertising from them too. As part of the deal, we will have exclusive discounts, offers and giveaways which we will keep you aware of via the podcast and the advertising in threads. As BRFCS is not for profit and all volunteers work for free to keep the site up, the funds raised will be spent on either advertising or upkeep costs. Thanks. ?

Means and ways to watch this if you’re struggling...

The result? The gap widens even more between the best and the rest. Only City qualify, the other top 4 take a huge hit and all the best players have the choice between essentially, Barca, City, Juve or Bayern. Only those four clubs can pay the best wages. They win their leagues every single year because they have the biggest budgets and attract the best players. The CL is competed every year by four clubs because commercially they are light years ahead of everyone else. The national leagues are boring as sin because nobody can get close to the CL clubs. Terrible idea.

For what it’s worth, you voted bad!

I don’t see it as disrespectful, but I’ve changed it for an easy life.

Second one is Coventry. First one Celtic.
