I think the only way that Sturridge or Carroll will get contracts is Pay as you play. a 12 month contract for one of them similar to the one that Rodwell had could be beneficial to both player and club.

Andy Carroll? or has he already gone somewhere?

Odd. He played there for 30 seconds on Saturday and scored.

look what I said again........Rovers career

The Rovers career that comes to mind is Jimmy Quinn. There is a quote from an ex-Rovers winger, name escapes me, where he admitted he hated playing in one direction at Ewood due to the agro he got when he was on Riverside wing.

I actually quite like the blue but agree I prefer darker. Dont like black Sponsership as it draws the eye to the sponsor rather than to the kit. I wish the Princes Trust kits to be removed as they do not belong to our Rovers but to the Dark Lord's Rovers!

Cant believe the Riberio promotion shirt of 91/92 is in the awful. For the start of the great era of the Uncle Jack it has to be higher especially when the Bruised banana 3rd kit that was worn once or even the Umbro Sunday Football stock with a Rovers badge stuck on it higher are in the average.

As soon as the likes of Mike Newell wouldnt sign for him, McKay's days were numbered. Out of the three big money signings that close season ony Speedie could be considered as a marque signing, Munro and Agnew IMO weren't big enough for Uncle Jack at the time. Mackay didn't last long enough for their poor fitness record to be considered in the sacking decision, although Agnew signing already injured probably didn't help.

Back to 4-3-3

With Mowbray in charge, its already forgot about

Yes I can see and agree that it could upset some but that detracts from their argument. You calling that out rather than arguing the facts that need debating only detracts from yours

I agree that there does appear to be a more negative spin on here at present especially compared to other social media. But I ask does having a go at 'public school' types offer a balance? Personally I think it detracts from the counter argument. I would love some of the positive club supporters to be on here to give a proper counter argument so we can have a more balanced debate which could unite the fanbase. It is only then can the fans be able to drive change at our beloved club.

I genuinely believe the only way we can get crowds returning is winning games. How is that attainable without a complete change from within the club? It reminds me of the 80s when Mackay took over. He saw that the club was dyeing and tried to change the mentality of the club. He saw that the club need a more positive media image but fundamentally the club needed to win games. He went out and sold the club locally, he signed Archibald and club went on a long unbeaten run. Crowds returned. Fast forward to today, the club only deals with a negative image in the media, our manager doesn't seemed concerned about losing games. People see this and they are not going to go. Darrenrover and his group deserve praise for the efforts, it does not matter if they are public school or not its irrelevent. Until the fans unite to change the club's present ethos then I fear it is doomed to failure.

I know but once you add the snow balling of Venkys.

Should do as it is the other knee. Be more concerned if it was the same one

Adds to Darren Lewis' theory that Ince got canned because we are racist

Surely that depends on a certain sports agency deciding which one of it's clients requires the Rovers gig

So why the one with Nyambe not? But I agree Lenihan had no need to put his arm out as there had already been contact with the knee. Two contacts gave the ref little option.

It may appear that Ive been negative but I fully support his efforts.

Totally agree, I think Mowbray will be here next season, with a much depleted squad with numbers made up of free transfers. History will be repeated with relegation a real threat. When Souness took over mid season he had time to assess his squad and made signings to suit what he wanted. I guess on the other foot it could end up like when we installed Lambert mid season with the new man realising he has inherited a no win situation and walk before the end of this season.

Totally agree with you but the question is where the start comes from. The issue is that it appears the owners do not have the vision to grow the club or brand. If they did they would realise they need a catalyst for re-invigoration. Little things like sprucing Ewood up making it look like people care is a start. Im not touching on the footballing side of things.

Yet I live 5 mins from Ewood on a street with 10 houses. My daughter and I are the only season ticket holders at Ewood but there are two Old Trafford season ticket holders. I hope we can grow into the local towns I really do but I think the damage from the last ten years maybe is too irreversible. Venky's have a lot to answer for.

Now that the season is dead, if they are going to move in another managerial direction at the end of the season, surely it makes sense to make the break now and allow the recruitment process to begin. If we wait until the end of the season we will then spend most of the summer replacing the manager then they will need time to assess what they require then we'll end up with the likes of Wes Brown and Gordon Greer signing and look how successful that was.

You might fill it if the minibus started at Kendal called at Lancaster, Morecambe, Garstang at Preston on the way down.
