Well another hideous set of financial results for the club. £18.2m loss for the year, wages at 134% of turnover, wages rose by over £5m. This sport is absolutely shot to pieces!

Massive disappointment all around, I still struggle to believe signing players is as hard as Mowbray makes out, surely anybody inside the club can see we have major problems with certain areas that don't ever seem to get improved. Another huge disappointment is that football has allowed itself into the pits that money is more important than actually playing the game, I look at some of our players here, and other clubs wanting to earn money out of whoring out their youth players to the highest bidders than the best for their development.

I’m sorry but how can anybody be in any way surprised that this is on the horizon, the management of the club have amassed a playing / coaching staff which costs 140 god damn % of income. Whilst amassing a hideous wage bill the club has a playing staff with one major asset (now injured) and a couple that could provide sticky plasters to prevent a FFP breach. Financially the writing is on the wall, I’m sorry but that is an absolute fact! Football has allowed clubs to get into these positions with rogue owners and they have absolutely no answers to it. We are on our own!

I’ve been the same for a few years, but for me the most hurtful thing is that the club is on life support financially, paying 140% of turnover to wages for the pleasure too!!

This is the huge failing for me, we could all see it and he could see it yet didn't act after saying he would. We have to watch that, and now weekly watch strikers playing on the wing and listen to him saying we can't carry our aging striker (the only one that can score) as he isn't mobile enough for our new system ... the system Mowbray chose to implement. Oh and we don't appear to be very good at carrying out said new system of play with or without Danny Graham.

That’s my point, Rodwell at Sunderland is my thought. We will never know for fact whether he did or didn’t refuse to play but if he did then surely that forms gross misconduct and with this as a test case could Sunderland have looked to sack.

Wonder if this starts the ball rolling for clubs being able to sack players that refuse to play or other in house discipline breaches.

Regardless of being worried about who the next appointment would be, I simply cannot get away from the fact that nobody in the away end, on this message board or just a Rovers fan in general was in anyway shocked that we blew a 2-0 half time lead. That should scream alarm bells to anybody connected to this club. It proves there is a mentality issue, it proves the manager has had an inability to see and react to the opponent managers tactics. It’s not a one off!

The whole episode is fast turning into the horror shows of previous regimes we have had in charge here under the owners, a boys club running the whole thing. We are hard working honest folk around these parts and really don’t take too kindly to being lied to! Mowbray simply cannot hide behind his “football experience” to say that our transfer policy hasn’t been anything short of appalling, the defence needed improving (he said so himself), we don’t score enough (he said so himself) so he spent fortunes on non scoring forwards and not enough defenders. We haven’t uncovered any hidden gems like most other clubs in this league. The man cannot get away from the fact he has been given more cash than anybody would have expected over the last two years, and I would rather confidently say we have a better Academy than half of the Premier League never mind this league ... what have we to show for it? The buck stops with Mowbray no ifs no buts!

They are 4 of the weakest, spineless goals you will see defensively. Awful all around and Mowbray has some big questions to answer, he won’t need to answer any though as his mate is the chief exec and the owners couldn’t give two hoots!

Sums our set plays up, we have a corner and 6 seconds later it’s back with our keeper without Forest touching the ball.

Watching our strikers trying to cross has a similar feeling to hearing somebody drag their nails down a blackboard (chalk board for the kids!)

Just so frustrating to watch, really struggle to see what Gallagher must do in training to look like he has any ability to play out wide. Dack has been shocking too. Whilst I don’t miss his woeful defending I think we are missing some of Mulgrews set plays!

The Neville's can't do anything due to their Salford ties.

Bolton given another 14 days.

I'd have preferred far less first teamers playing if he did.

After watching tonight all I can confirm is that we have spent nearly £15m on Brereton, Gallagher and Armstrong but they surely can’t come close to starting before a combo of Graham and Dack. Oh and we can’t defend or make saves!

I have no idea, that’s why I asked the question. People usually have some reason behind writing cheques for £9m+

That is an incredible sum of money if it just to keep us within FFP. Hopefully it’s for a few new defenders. The shear amount of money (self inflicted) that has to be pumped in annually is absolutely frightening, football finances are crazy!

Raya got beaten by a header from outside the box today, awful positioning!

Signing Cristiano Ronaldo would be pointless whilst these chumps (bar Lenihan) are selected in defence. Nobody wants Mowbray to be wrong, a successful Mowbray is a successful Rovers but after watching Mulgrew miss ANOTHER high ball and Bennett being selected OUT OF POSITION and messing up for a goal it’s almost like a nightmare being played out in front of you as you know the outcome before it happens. Please Tony sign some ugly defenders who can defend and play people in the positions they have developed to play all their professional career.

It’s so bizarre that we haven’t strengthened the defence more when it’s the first game of the season and I’m petrified at the defensive line up. On the flip side we have strengthened to the point in other areas that I’m disappointed that Rothwell isn’t playing, and we could have started with one of Gallagher, Graham or Brereton up top quite happily.

Surely our Jase is one of the 3! Top man.

Wycombe 30/100 tomorrow, free money?

I can completely understand why nobody locally has come forwards, you are signing up to a financial black hole. If regulation was brought in and the same problems wouldn’t arise in 1-2 years time then I’m sure local people would help but there isn’t and good local people would lose their hard earned cash into the cess pit that is English Football. The clubs aren’t requiring a few quid to keep the floodlights on they are pretty much asset less with multi million pound costs.
