    Preston and Burnley unfortunately two clubs with some forward thinking and foresight. Grayson and Howe both did decent jobs there and delivered mid table Championship football without really threatening the top end. Both were poached and enticed away by bigger clubs. Rather than allow that misfortune to send them into decline they used the opportunity to progress and go one better by finding, unfortunately, gems who were both unemployed and on the scrap heap after being sacked from Norwich and Watford.

    A bit of patience, honesty, proper organisation and support for the manager working under a traditional no nonsense board of directors and the results are there for all to see.

    They didn't spend their lives bullshitting fans about unrealistic targets or hiding behind every excuse going. Just got on with it.

    Can you imagine the people running this club having the gumption to appoint a gem of a manager. Last time round they stumbled across Mowbray who to be fair rebuilt his reputation and helped the owners out massively with overall good results. Prior to that they entrusted a managerial search to Mike Cheston and Suhail Pasha who between them turned Neil Warnock down and opted for Owen Coyle after interviewing the likes of Neil Redfearn, Russell Slade and Warren Joyce. Frightening.

    At least we've now got Steve Waggott who of course was nothing at all to do with Mowbray being here and being popular with the owners.

    Its on record that Cheston went on holiday after the interviews after settling on Warnock with the aid of Lamberts coaching staff. Other dark forces then binned all of that off and appointed Coyle. Those forces are still out there connected with our club. 

    All in my humble opinion of course.

    No, they're really not. 

     

    Rationing, being bombed whether in the street or from above, bananas and chicken being seen as exotic food stuffs, three day week, binmen on strike , sick man of Europe. 

     

    You must be joking. But the disaster capitalists want to make life miserable for the people again, and some of the people are helping them by believing their nonsense

    ... Labour government, union power....

    These Blackburn trainers are just a rehash of an Irish Spezial they did a few years back, unless i’m missing something?

    Green and orange - almost guarantees getting your head kicked in up here in Glasgow ? 

    But surely green and orange represent both sides of the sectarian divide up there?

    Seriously Matty, what size bracket would you put your club into these days? 

     

    The way I see it is you have the giants like Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal etc, and then you have the big clubs like Birmingham City, West Brom, Southampton, Sunderland etc. Then you have medium clubs like Burnley, Ipswich, Hull etc. Then you have small clubs like blackburn, Wigan, Barnsley etc. Small than that you're into the 'minnows' like Rochdale, Accrington, Blackpool etc. 

    I love how it says Premier League under your username on the left of your posts. Thats the nearest that knobend or any of its fans will ever get to it. 

    Sorry, I meant real fans and not the plastic ones that come out of the woodwork when you are playing the likes of City in the cup. Mind you for the rest of the year they are all proud Liverpool or United fans, now bore off.
