Good old Super Atko, absolutely love that guy.

I get your point, and you can only beat who's in front of you but we are way overdue to beat a team better than QPR. I think we'll all sigh with relief when it happens.

Since we won I'm assuming Jim didn't go.

I read on here that we had 1300 or so fans there Saturday and I read somewhere else that the away end was sold out. If both are true did we only get an allocation of 1300 then? Seems odd. Away end wasn't full.

I would at the time. We'll never know how he would have fared had he gone to us.His record clearly suggests he's better than this though. Maybe the squad he's got is rubbish. Congratulations to those on here who forecast this dramatic turn-around---I wasn't one of them!! 😨

Widely reported that their American owners were thinking of selling. So not surprising that a queue formed. Seem to have changed their mind.

We have a fair few supporters who live down south, always seem to have a good following at London games.

I'm afraid it is.

The examples of take-overs of clubs above demonstrate overwhelmingly that we have nothing to fear from Venkys leaving. indeed their leaving is an essential precursor to Rovers being great again.

If the club were to be put up for sale the buyers would emerge. You've got it the wrong way round.

Club isn't for sale. Venkys have spurned offers in the past. But you know all this. Keep sticking to the script.

Thanks, you don't have to convince me! Don't forget Wrexham! But if Venkys pull the plug on our club we are finished. Rubbish isn't it?

An Australian millionaire has bought Southend United. How unlikely is that? But here's been plenty of other examples. Provides the answer to those who think we are doomed if Venkys decide to go away.

What bad fortune, hoping your mum pulls through and that you have the strength of two to help her.

I should have added "look at the goals we're conceding." You can't lose 4-1 at home and claim bad luck. We are shipping goals for fun. And if we don't stiffen up defensively with more mid-field cover we won't be winning very many and we'll be relegated. Can't blame Travis and Wharton whatever short-comings they might have. They can't be everywhere.

We've been saying "3 in the middle, 2's no good" for months. I think your comparison with Keegan is bang-on. Newcastle were an attractive side too but never won anything under him.

Agree, If the same thing happens over and over, its not bad luck. I accept that bad luck happens and can affect a game or two along the way but, bad luck, and good luck for that matter, can never be continuous. If you're losing regularly then you're doing something wrong.

No-one had the whit to work out that if that can helped take us up then the outlay involved was irrelevant in the bigger scheme of things. That's what's missing at Ewood, any perspective. Instead, given July's shambles as well, we have a reputation for incompetence and untrustworthiness among other clubs. However poor we were in the 70's and eighties we at least never had that. Tragic what we've become.

Jdt would be a mug if he didn't consider a club with better owners, which means about 99% of clubs on his radar.

You're right but this isn't "balance" KHod. Tobacco companies didn't go into manufacture of vapes in order to stop people smoking. They went into it to create new addicts for their nicotine-based products. Utterly bereft of any decent qualities, only the profit margins count. The problems being reported by parents of vaping teenagers has only just begun.

Cheaper than funding heart disease though and all the rest of diseases nicotine causes, and less awful consequences for individuals and their families.

And that's solely what vapes should be used for. Currently vapes are creating new nicotine addicts and potential new tobacco clients. That's why the tobacco companies piled in to manufacture of them. Some countries have banned over the counter sale of vapes. In Australia they're only available on prescription to those adults trying to quit smoking. NZ intends to do the same and I think I read some Scandinavian countries plan the same. First duty of government is to protect citizens from harm.

i'm not sre Burnley care too much. They got decent money for a few of their better players, invested well in young players and are probably confident that they can come straight back up again with more parachute money once again. Quite jealous of them really!

Apparently not!

Its not a matter of choice for an already overwhelmed NHS who have to treat the results though is it? Anyway, not going off-topic any further, I just wish we had a sponsor I didn't want to go broke.
