That'll get the crowds back!

Given that we're hanging on at 1-0, I think its safe to say we would have lost this one with Ismael in charge and relegation would have been nailed on.

Johnson will start with universal support, everyone will want him to succeed. After a certain time he will be judged on results. How could it be any different?

They literally have nothing to lose.

We don't have a target man upfront. We haven't had one all season, the error has been acknowledged by the outgoing manager but nothing has been done. We are really lightweight up front.

No you're right. I thought about that as soon as I'd posted. He was disillusioned with the Trust though.

Sparky would be interesting. Absolutely fantastic for us bur for nobody else But he left frustrated and I can't see him lining up with Venkys again.

to put it mildly!

I think someone should remind the high-ups at Ewood that the Transfer Windows are meant to strengthen the team not the reverse.

More importantly, could it be that Alebiosu Is off to Everton? Our very best player. We consoled ourselves at the loss of Britten by congratulating the Club on finding someone as good. And it looks like we're selling him too. All this stuff about why Ismael is allowed to spend on transfers and his predecessors is off the mark. As was said in summer we are only allowed to spend what we create from sales. Yet the bastards talk about last summer as a "rebuild". There is no rebuilding at Ewood, we find a gem and sell him. That's all there is to it. Utterly disheartening.

We shold try that, the other side always score after that point anyway.

Allebiosu would be right wing back so he could cut in and shoot which would stop him crossing the ball for the false nines who wouldn't have got a head to it anyway! By the time players understood where they were supposed to be playing, we'd be down.

I wasn't enthused about Mowbray first time round and he didn't save us from relegation with a better side than we have now. The only consolation for me , if this story is true, is that the club is at last showing some concern. That's only a start though, I don't have faith that they can fix it.

Because we won't pay the going rate.

Yep--that will be the get out.
