I've got to the stage where I"d sooner have a different rubbish manager than the one who's been here so long. So get rid!

500 pages!

Not so sure about that.....

Pity we have to put up with him for the rest of the season though. Sadly "unsure' isn't enough.

Ordered 2 copies. Awaiting delivery!

Ainsworth seems a popular choice. Has the passion and commitment which we've been missing for so long.

That would be me finished.

....and rising!!

LT readers will always have their TM supporters but even fans on the forum are turning or coming out of the woodwork!

11th now, soon be 15th and so on. Back to our "natural position" with this bloke in charge. Bright start almost forgotten. Please Venkys--wake up.

In a bit of strife then are we not? You are trying to paint it as nothing to worry about. For my part I'm very worried. What was this long journey of Mowbray's about then? Why did he persuade the owners not to spend money early on when they wanted to but to buy into to his gradual approach? That's not me being speculative---its out of his own mouth!

What research I've done shows we are are having great difficulty keeping our best players.

They seem pretty unanimous about it? No rush to re-sign is there?

Its looking like everything we ever feared is coming to a climax. We can't (apparently) afford the wages of even reasonable Championship players anymore and we will lose the best ones as their contracts run down. The predators are circling. Moreover, we can't rely on transfers out to buy decent replacements because we let their contracts run down! But the owners won't go! And the inept staff remain! Ergo, nothing can be resolved. All we have to look forward to is further shrinking of the fan base and a perpetual decline in the standard of the playing squad and relegation. The situation is a scandal and its utterly demoralising to be a Rovers fan right now.

Vacuous optimism won't see us go up.

Raya, now Brereton flourish away from Ewood. its a worry.

You wouldn't expect Messi to travel in any old vehicle would you? BBis an international superstar now you know! (No---I can't believe it either!)

Yes but in the wrong position!

Exactly what I thought!

Getting some stick here: https://the72.co.uk/253394/a-leopard-never-changes-its-spots-plenty-of-blackburn-rovers-fans-unimpressed-after-coventry-citys-comeback/ I still don't have a Twitter account by the way, got this from News Now site!

Balaji---a gambler. Nothing better to do with his millions. Not a football decision.

Social media has to get into someone, that's the nature of the beast. That's why I avoid it apart from this site! He wasn't booed at games by Rovers fans and he wasn't hated. We were astonished, saddened and embarrassed but we all wanted him to do well. Now, at last he is, but whether Chile or Rovers are responsible is a moot point.

Its looking like we bought an investment project rather than a player. As soon as he comes good, he's off (or so it appears). Probably what Balaji intended all along. Whatever the club gets for him, we won't see much of it.

Can you read? I said he"d never make it but I didn't hate him or boo him. I wanted him to succeed! Those tribunals always rule on the low side by the way, never the open market fee.

Rubbish! Not a single poster on here hated him. On the contrary everyone desperately wanted him to succeed but despaired that he ever would.Now he has we probably won't see much more of him! We haven't got an administration worthy of the name so ironically he could see his contract out and leave for nothing. Since this was allegedly Balaji's own money and investment I suspect he'll be flying over with a crowbar in his pocket should this occur! But let's not reinvent history. This was not a good signing. If we had spent £4 million say, on a decent striker to play upfront with Armstrong and spent £8M on the defence, don't you think we might have gone up? I'm willing to admit I never thought he would make anything of himself and after 3 bloody years he has. I wonder if his mother had been English would things have turned out this way? But it doesn't changed the fundamental point that ,at the time he wasn't what we wanted. Neither was Gallagher.
