The Champions League is all about money for the clubs involved and nothing more. Its time it went back to being only league champions in the Champions league, then UEFA cup and then cup's winners cup. Do you ever see them or watch it when it was like that? I have named you several things. I will list them again. Scrap All UEFA club competitions group stages and make them knock out competitions, get rid of Nations league and pointless international games, Another pointless tournament to be honest. Not needed. Just reduced the games I find it ridiculous the way you always defend them over these comments. The point is that these managers have chosen to manage in this country and they SHOULD respect our footballing structure. Just like If I was managing in Germany or Spain I would totally respect their footballing structure and when ask those of questions I would said I am here to win matches and coach my team, and I totally respect their footballing structure here Also I find it funny when these football amangers like Klopp or Tuchel complain about the amount of games they don't suggest cutting the number Europe matches or get rid of international games. Wonder why they don't? money?

Why only if Lenihan leaves when Ayala is in jury prone and Van Hecke on loan. Maybe line up as Van Hecke replacement. Souttar is a Scottish international aswell Yes Kaminski is up this summer BUT Rovers have a 12 months club option to extend his contract.

Here is some transfer news

same team as last time. Dolan back on bench

Manchester United have been woeful tonight and not sure their players are suited to Rangnick's tactics but it will take time I guess Why would Manchester United be without David Da Gea? Think Newcastle deserve to win this game tonight and I think Howe has got them playing well and fighting for the club. Add 4 or 5 quality players in January and I think they will deffo stay up.

Any PL or football manager should get on with their job and stop complaining about the football structure of our game regardless of nationality and respect that is our structure is. Would you support getting rid of Champions League/Europa games group games and make it a proper knockout tournment like pre 90's plus get rid of nations league and pointless International football games?

I sat in the Blackburn end and I can say the back corner of Blackburn End in N01 area is standing. I have a couple of friends who seats are in that area. Away game support is excellent

if winning the league cup got you a champions league place then they wouldn't be moaning and complaining about it

agreed. You can either play a style that's suits your players or you signed players to fit that style. Mowbray might want to play possession style but never really signed players to suit that style of players. Our current style of play suits our players and think Counter attacking suits us.

would you return permanently if we had permanent area for standing and your season ticket was allocation for that area? I can apprenticed that you miss the older days but given the last few years I am more interest in watching the lunch time game and getting a burger pre match then talking to friends and people who sat around me. Thats just me. Some people like a few pints before the game and live music before a game. Everyone is different and I can apprentice different views

you can still play 3 at the back and play possession football. But I don't think we have the squad to play 3 at the back given the injuries, squad options in midfield and attacks, etc

I would scrap all Group games within the UEFA competitions and nations league plus most international friendlies

I would show more respect for the country footballing structure and get on with my job of coaching the club I was in charge of Why didn't Tuchel and Rangnick say get rid of the Champions League group games and make it a knockout tournament like it used to be and was far more better to watch and these pointless International breaks and reduce the games played by international teams?

We have to disagree cos I don't think we have a options for back 3 given injuries, make up the playing squad, too many midfielders and no proper left wing back option either

Rovers activate a club option in Rothwell's contract by 12 months last summer http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/19343280.blackburn-rovers-contract-decisions-becoming-pressing/

Lets scrap the Champions League and Europa league group stages then. Thats would saved 5 games a season. Or these pointless international breaks games.

thanks @4000 HOLESfor becoming member of the site and posting yours views. I am very passionate Rovers fan who doesn't sing at all but shouts, encourages, clap and applaud the players on the pitch. I don't enjoy singing as I rather to friends about the game, and Rovers related stuff. Been a season ticket for over 20 years now and I loved going to Rovers games and during the Pandemic I totally missed attending games and it affected me badly. Did you see the comments I posted from Travis who said this season atmosphere has been the best since he been in the first team? The 90's atmosphere was very good from what I can remember and I started going in 93/94 season I think the atmosphere through the Mark Hughes;s era was excellent. But under Ince and Allardyce time at the club the atmosphere wasn't the same. I would have no problem having a standing area for fans who want to stand up for the game.

West Brom lack creatively and quality striker. Their current style doesn't suit their players like Diangana, Robinson or Grant. Plus they don;t create much from open play.

But I wouldn't comment but just get on with coaching the team. I would accept their footballing structure And I stand by that comment. They know how our footballing structure is and they either get on with their job or don't accept the in the first place

But he has had the technique for years and he had success at County level. That's the problem and the quality of the standard. You can't blame Farbrace for his technique I remember listening to interview with Duncan Fletcher and how he selected Trescothick and Vaughan based on their technique and how they would succeed at Test Cricket where someone like Adams didn't have the technique for the test game. In the England Coaching set up you have Graham Thorpe, Marcus Trescothink, Paul Collingwood. So you have players who have had success in the top level of the cricket game.

The Premier League is the best football league in the world and most enjoyable to watch. Other leagues don't have our quality and entertainment. I totally agree on the Champions league and if I had my way I would completely restructure it where it would be knockout football straight way so less games. Maybe go back to the pre champions league days where it only Champions of the league in that with UEFA Cup and cup winner cup back into play. The Champions League is only about money for the big European teams and UEFA governing body I wouldn't go to German football and start moaning about their footballing structure and way the competitions are structure over there.

Wharton and Ayala were injured for most of the season. Carter went on loan at Burton where he played very well there. Not sure playing possession has anything to do with it to be quite frank. Think last season we had too many players and far too many midfield options. This season Mowbray has less options and less tinkering from him Think we suited the back 3 this season cos Wharton can play the left side of the 3, with Van Hecke or Ayala in the middle of the 3 with Lenihan on right which suited all of them. Plus the left back situation where Pickering and Edun have played so wide this season.

thankyou for the reply. I believe that Harness has a clause in his contract at Portsmouth that allow them to extend his contract by 12 months. similar to us with Rothwell. thankyou for the reply and the player analysis on him. Watched the video posted so thanks for that @JacknOry

I think its new from Venkys
