And Sharpe just gives him a free pass. I swear he could say that black is white and it would go unchallenged. The absolute nerve of Mowbray to still be spouting the same old crap. I guess the Facebook cult will still swallow it whole.

I agree with @1864roverite. It goes much deeper than squad strength. There are so many factors determining that the club is heading on a downward course. It badly needs someone to arrest the decline, and I don't mean Waggott or Mowbray.

Good for him. Saint Tony's halo just slipped a little further. Maybe Mrs M needed the car and Stewart was handy for a lift.

Waggott came in full of talk and big ideas. He’s now almost as invisible as the two Venkys advisers who pull the strings. It’s sickening that he’s in a senior position at the club and epitomises that it’s currently rotten to the core.

No problem with people choosing to attend, but this is not really Blackburn Rovers for me and ,clearly, the issues go much deeper than the manager. It’s a parasite riddled corpse which I cannot support. I would rather not attend at all than be there in the wrong spirit. I understand the logic of people saying go along and give the manager grief, or go along and cheer the lads, but the reality will be a three quarters empty ground where the only noise will be coming from the away end. I sincerely hope to be back one day if / when the parasites are smoked out and right minded people are running the club again, even if we are not successful on the pitch. Anyway, I don’t want to over egg the pudding, so will now shut up. I still like visiting the message board to have a gander and will continue to do so.

It’s not so much of a boycott for me. It’s more that I’ve just come to the point where I feel so alienated that I have little or no emotional attachment to the club anymore, (which is something I never imagined could happen), and I actively do not want to attend games, particularly at Ewood Park.

I also respect your position and opinion and if people still choose to attend, that’s fine. I think we need to differentiate between “success” and likelihood. I believe such a move, (restructuring to a tried and tested model of a competent CEO running the show), would at least have a chance of being successful. Will the owners suddenly realise this and implement such a change? Highly unlikely. Whilst the structure and personnel we have in place now are a slight improvement on the Coyle / Senior era, it is still a set up for continuing failure, and mid table Championship will be the bar. The manager has often spoken of development and growth of the team, but here we are on the cliff edge, yet again. He has failed to deliver and any change of division now is likely to be in a downward direction. The manager has to take a good part of the responsibility for this and we can’t blame his ridiculous comments on the owners, (other than he should already have been sacked before he made them). Realistically, we are way past the point of “just get behind the lads”. You are simply not going to fill a stadium of clapping / cheering fans under these circumstances. The owners and club hierarchy have to take the lead in setting their stall up properly, (not too much to ask), and give the supporters a belief that success is attainable. That is the only way current gloom will be lifted. I have no problem at all not wasting money by propping up a regime that will never be good for Blackburn Rovers. Hopefully, one day there will be a change of ownership and we can all unite in our support of the club again.

You need an explanation? Really? Okay, (and I've already posted it several times), but for Mowbray not to be sacked after another terrible run of form, compounded by his ridiculous comments towards the end of last season was the final straw. How can the manager of a professional football club survive after stating, on the record, that he doesn't care about the league table? He also berates fans for daring to have a modicum of ambition, ("It's not 1995"). Absolutely pathetic conduct. If Waggott is a suitable person to be Chief Executive, I'm a banana. Whilst some people ,(an ever decreasing minority), will choose to go come what may, I have just gone past that point now. In terms of the financial situation, I feel no responsibility to keep giving money to a club being run by people who can afford to do better if they so choose. Appoint a competent chief executive and let them run the show, instead of this crazy set up we have, with invisible, ignorant advisers pulling the strings. If the worst comes to the worst, I would be there supporting a phoenix club in the future.

Spot on. I now feel alienated to a degree where I strongly feel I do not want to give the club any more money or attend home matches, as I would not feel comfortable being at the ground. I am very sad that it has come to this, but unfortunately it has. As a minimum requirement to change my feelings, Waggott and Mowbray would have to go. On a separate note, whilst we may not be amongst the bookies favourites for relegation next season, I think some people need to wake up and smell the mustard. I think we are in big trouble and can see Armstrong being sold for a cut down price just to balance the books.

I will go further and say that it's a disgrace that he wasn't sacked after making ridiculous comments towards the end of last season. Mowbray and Waggott are laughing at the supporters, so there is no chance I am giving the club another penny under this regime.

Waggott, like his mate,Mowbray, is going through the motions. With those two still in situ going into next season, I think it’s a case of expecting further decline. The only question is how steep the decline will be. Everything is building up towards a major slump, both on and off the pitch.

Probably when a free agent is facing unemployment and has no other choice.

The absolute state of the bloke, who clearly should be nowhere near a higher level professional football club. Typical of Venky's appointments in a key position.

Swiss Stevie is just working out whether to go with , "We don't care about the league table", or "It's not 1995 you know", as the advertising slogan for season tickets.

Yes, we are a bigger club, but let’s have a look at the attendances next season. @Crimpshrineis right, in my opinion. I live in Blackpool and they fought the battle together as a town, not just supporters. With Rovers supporters there is always an excuse.

I agree, it's a pretty hopeless situation, but I'm certain that nothing else will have any effect.

Possibly not, but not low attendances are more likely to trigger changes than any demonstrations, (which clearly would not be well supported anyway). I agree with you that people will no longer attend for a variety of reasons, but attendances will illustrate a level of discontent. Some, like myself, have had enough and will not be attending as a means of showing that.

Agreed, I think after the initial widespread anger during the early years of their ownership, (and Kean took the brunt of that), many people have simply gone past caring. I do think they will notice very poor attendances, though, and that is what is going to happen.

Agreed, but the net result is the same - a very low attendance level. I still think the people you are talking about are likely to attend.

Those people will make up the biggest proportion of the attendance at the Ewood echo chamber next season. However, the bottom line is that a substantial number of previous season ticket holders / match attenders will not return to Ewood next season. Blackpool supporters had it right - don't give the club any money whatsoever and don't attend.

Exactly, in yet some people claim they listen to and are influenced by what the fans want. Here is further proof that is not the case.

Reward for the fans who stuck to their guns in not attending until the Oystons left. A club with the feelgood factor on the up.

The final straw for me was when Mowbray said that he wasn’t interested in the league table.

Yes, Blackpool fans voted with their feet, which is exactly what I am going to do next season. Not a penny more.

I thought a Swansea sending off looked likely from very early in the game. You expect players to be pumped up for such a big game, but Swansea channelled that in the wrong way. The eventual red card was perhaps a little unlucky, but the game was probably lost by then, and the right team won. Fair play to Brentford. Just because they aren’t a big name, fashionable club, you get what you deserve. That’s why they are where they are and we are where we are.
