When a manager starts telling fans things that are clearly not true, it’s a sure sign that he’s feeling the pressure, that the job is getting away from him. It almost inevitably ends one way. Here at Ewood it could take a tad longer.

If only the League table rested on the data!

Shef Wed in administration. Deducted 12 points.

I actually think he’ll leave if we lose tomorrow, not sure why as I’ve said before he’s not likely under pressure but just a feeling.

Can’t be doing with excuses about decisions against us etc 

He's not going to find a new club in a hurry is he? He won't go till Venkys sack him and pay him off.

How likely is that?

I think most of us realise a critical point is approaching from which Rovers may never recover. It seems inevitable.

Never thought it would happen in my lifetime.

There's enough love around for Rovers that may see a "Phoenix Club" arise but it will be a long, long battle.

Don't think I'll be around to see it. Agree Glen must be supported to the hilt but so many dopes can't see it.

I'm like every one else, I feel like a vital part of my life has been stolen from me. There's a huge void which nothing else can fill.

It's like bereavement. 

.

Anyone really believe that Venkys will sack the manager and pay out nearly 3 years dosh?

I don't, and if they did the new manager would know he had the same squad. No splurge in the winter transfer window, only if we sell first!!!!

So who of any use would take the job?

No--things will have to get a whole lot worse yet.

Falling crowds and bitter response from those who do go is all we have. And protests.

Meanwhile there are plenty of fans saying "it's a new squad, we have to give them time." In the LT everyday.

I think a combination of ideas could dovetail beautifully.

Attend the Derby game, but remain outside.

Wear black/mourning attire (Is the relegation coffin knocking about somewhere?)

Have the Pasha Out banner AND get the delightful effort by WATR above on a banner too.

Wearing black (ties and all) is a great idea. It feels more like a funeral than a celebration of 150 years.

A time to reflect on what we have lost.

A coffin should feature as well!

My view is they wont sell in fear of what due diligence might uncover / reveal

Well that was my point!

I think there are obvious reasons why they won't sell.

Yes, no wonder no interest in buying us has got to the formal stage. 

They'd have to open the books wouldn't they?

Im giving him till the two home games next week...minimum required four points or feck off.

Pull your finger out Ismael,this isn't damn well good enough.

It would be a shame if he became the focus of our discontent through. Pasha and Gestede would love that!

If a campaign to sack him succeeded we'd just be back in the same position. They'd only hire a new dud.

Look what happens to any manager who's had any clue.

Ismael's probably here till his contract expires. No idea where the Club will be then.

Makes no difference whether he stays or goes.

He's not impressive but the real problem is elsewhere

Great 150 years celebration this is turning out to be.

I doubt (hope not) he'd go to Manure.

Manure are in a real mess.. Doesn't matter how much they spend or who they sign or who the manager is---they can't seem to break out of this long period of decline.

I don't think he'd advance his career by going there. Quite the contrary in fact. I'd hope Liverpool would go for him if he wants to move back home.

Somehow he doesn't seem their sort of player though. City?

I was at the Blackburn end right behind the goals. So I got a perfect view of Fred’s  “ wedding gift “.  Funnily of all his goals that’s the one I remember best.

I best remember Fred for that home game against Arsenal. we were all worried because Douglas was out injured.

We needn't have, Fred ran riot.

I was there.----Darwen End. Great time to be a Rover.

And hopefully that't the last we'll see of Pears. Glad he's locking down his position.

Assuming Toth won't be sold.......

Blackpool sacked Steve Bruce after a poor start to the season

Damien Duff apparently in the running for that job.

Cantwell, Tronstad and Toth are the 3 probably leaving. 

If they leave in January, we'd be relegated for sure.

We could/should have had 5 or 6 on Saturday, hope we're that negative every game. 

We create chances but we don't take them. Haven't got a Sammi to save us have we?

Anyone else want him to go to Barcelona and not Real Madrid? 

I don't mind where he goes so long as he's  happy and finishes his career with us.

I hope we still have a club by then in a Division that isn't impractical.

I can only think Palace have asked for him not to be selected for these friendlies.

He'll have to go to Real Madrid for £100M. Then Tuchal will pick him.

Morishita and Gudjohnsen deal each were around 2m each. 

The original budget was £5m according to what was said during the fans forum and the podcast later on done..

We clearly investing more and reinvest some of the sales money. That's was my point. 

Its mention around 5m but Travis fee has question mark. From what was reported from certain sources provided probably around 10 to 12m. 

Venkys aren't putting money in are they?  We have to sell to buy and we can't buy at the same price as we sell.

No future with that.

If you're not prepared to put in or can't afford it---SELL!

As they always say, it's better to be missing chances than not be getting them in the first place.

His movement's been good enough for him to miss two real chances in two games. 

Always look on the bright side of life....
