They accept he's dazzled but think £5M will do it!!

How is that weird? I'd have said "consistent." I say it as I see it too and call out bullshit whenever I read it.

He did say, more than once, that he'd guaranteed Rovers for the future after he'd gone. I expect he thought the Walker Trust would act differently than it did.

Of course-- we can both say what we think! Is Arbitro not entitled to one then!

Yeah, it would be.

Here we go again! What % of your posts criticise Rovers fans? Quite a high one I'd have thought. Brereton has been very well supported by the fans despite flopping for a long period of time.

I personally am going to have to struggle very hard to hang in there that long!

They say its the hope that kills you. Sorry Revidge but we've has false dawns before, usually about some group or other looking to buy the club. Nothing ever happens. Except that things continue to get worse of course. I'll believe it only when I see it

I wrote this back in early July. Looks like I've got my answer. 😬

Have the cleaners been replaced?

Indeed!

Which is the same as 10000 at £500 which we wouldn't get. Not to mention the benefits to everyone from having some atmosphere at Ewood.

Hard to take that one. Going into the competition I really thought we would win it. 4 terrific performances in a row and I was sure we would! That's 20-20 though, anything can happen in any given match. Would be a farce if Australia won it after the way we mauled them. I suppose you have to get mauled at the right time, not a semi-final!

What about Frank at Norwich? Anyone think he could save them?

We have enough crocks already, and in his position.

All about stinging what they hope will be PNE's 5000. Much rather we charged less and got 5000 more of our own!

Roverite's dreams coming true! Go Venkys! 😭

Gav’s right, you are having a laugh. Plenty of information was put to the football authorities to draw the conclusion that they were unfit owners. It suited them to ignore it. Always be “insufficient evidence” for that lot.

We have been through this aspect many times. Its not primarily about criminal behaviour although some has been alleged. Its about breaking the rules, acting inappropriately, whether these allegations can be held to show that the owners are unfit. Its not about the criminal threshold of "beyond reasonable" doubt but the civil one of "on the balance of probabilities". So, no-one seriously expected anyone to be arrested. We just want the football authorities to have the guts to do what they are paid handsomely to do---manage football in the interests of the game.

On the basis of that, I wonder if there is a regular place for Dolan? Of if there will be a bit of a rotation policy? I appreciate that a rest for him every now and again is wise given the way he plays, but I wouldn't like to see him on the fringes.

There were lessons to be learned from Saturday, but that was the biggest. Waggot, you got it very wrong, make the prices affordable and people will come—-even after a 7-0 home drubbing!. No home advantage without an atmosphere. Let’s get Ewood rocking again!

I’m not arguing with you! Just pointing out what I read.

You haven't mentioned attendances! If things have improved year on year, where have the fans gone?And why?

No, I think you're right!

Yet many Sheffield Utd fans blame Wilder for the mess that they are in. eg from the BBC site: This is Wilders terrible waste of money on pub league players thats left us in this mess
