He is a pseudo millennial wannabe with a self-proclaimed history of mental health issues (according to his WordPress rantings..)

Probably a north west expat, now living 'the dream' in London, and wondering why life is so shit in that crowded, git-infested and intolerant excuse for a capital, compared to plying his trade in the relatively stress-free and clean air environs of one of the UK's most affordable rubbish places to live 😉 (like I do)..

So basically another who only belongs on twitter and struggles to cope with the real world. They do tend to crumble with anything outside of their own thought bubbles.

Another close defeat will be tough to stomach but we need a point or three so might be time to stomach Mowbrays absolute nonsense if we get some.

Lets face it if we get pasted 4 nil he'll still stand there conducting the biggest denial circus in modern football. And he'll still be drinking tea at Brockall come Monday and sulking about having to walk between 2 sites.

Tony's summer targets...

Keep as many ageing injury prone pals as he can and as many youngsters as poss. So as to throw under the bus and keep the journey/young team line going. Sell or let go the rest and replace with loans.

Job done.

That's what kind of prick you're dealing with right there. And why his opinions on it aren't worth a toss.

Why can't the owners be asked for it and expected to stump up for it ?

I don't get this line of we can't keep asking the owners it's their responsibility and partly their fault its been neglected.  It's a vital piece of kit for a professional football club i'd have thought.

You don't get eggs without hens so how do they expect football without a pitch ?

Utterly bonkers when they'll happily spew millions on investment players we don't need on the suggestion of a manager and their agent pals.

This club is all wrong from the bottom to the top still.

I'll say it again the Journey is just a strapline to India, a sales pitch if you like.

There is no journey with this team how could there be ?  Half of it might be gone in summer. So really it's outright bull he's just saying please stick with me i want to keep this cushy job and keep all my mates in wages.

Dan, I have no doubt that you are 100% a Rover and that you were in an invidious position when you worked for LET. 
 

However..... the content and context of your tweet in reply Rob Young intimated that you agreed with his notion that Rovers fans have only objected to the Brockhall plans because the team is getting dicked at the moment. 
 

I and many others have no other context within which to place your tweet if you and Rob have had other conversations.

Time to start being a journalist mate!

 

 

Exactly !

The work of another protecting his pals and playing Waggots narrative.

Here’s a message I received from a club employee this afternoon. I can’t guarantee it’s authenticity, so it’s shared with that caveat:

“If you think something stinks with this training ground stuff... you’re not alone. Long game... club to move out of Brockhall completely. This isn’t a baseless opinion. Steve vaguely mentioned it in a meeting. He’s got a big gob. ‘Blackburn with Darwen would love us there’ where his words.”

An opinion widely shared i reckon.

This thing was a cat that got out of the bag before it went in the water. It was written all over Waggots face, he didn't get chance to grease the wheels properly before they made it public.

Seems he's been spending his time up here cosying up with the right people on the local authorities. This is the same BWD council who wouldn't let Jack Walker pay for a railways station at Ewood  !

Its stunk to high heaven from the off it's pure chancer stuff, sooner he gets his backside away from here the better. Sadly only another plonker will step in but whoever leaked this deserves to never buy another drink in his local.

I think most would agree Mowbrays time, of the first few years were a positive for the club.  I think the man himself has to take a lot of credit for that but it's been clear a long time now his ceiling has been reached.

Not sure where Waggot fits into that though, pretty much an exec director was urgently needed and we got one. Like his boss though i think he was pretty quickly found out at championship level and has desperately been rooting around looking for something to justify him and his mammoth salary.

No idea what he's done behind the scenes but i'm sure he's made some contributions. However setting about to squeeze a dwindling fanbase, close more of the ground and piss of another few hundred into jacking it in, penalize those who arrive late to pay on the day. Then try and cash in half the training ground behind a veil of 'state of the art all under one smaller roof' .  I really think the game is up for him.

Throw in so many out of contract and maybe losing a few good young players because of that.  Not many ringing endorsments there are there !

I wouldn't have thought that the land is worth that much now.

If they now can't build houses on it, what other use is there for it?

I could maybe see the whole site or a larger part of it getting passed if they were moving the training ground and everything off it.

They might have to leave it empty for a while first though.  Hopefully this is the end of the nonsense and it really was just a Waggot and co driven whim.

I'd be happy if we sold and rebuilt on a huge plot to combine the 2. 

But not downsize and combine that makes no sense at all.

I wouldn't because it would still be a down scale.

Simple fact of all this is that's what it was, i love the way they've changed the name to training ground investment scheme !  What a set of wankers they really are down there these days.

What they have already is somewhat of a jewel in the crown at the heart of BRFC. If they'd any real intention of 'investment scheme' they would upgrade whatever it is needed as it is and make the most of the fantastic stuff they have.  Making it better should be the aim not stream line it on the whim of a low end football consultant and bread and nutter manager who's trying to con everyone he's a second tier Pep.

Wouldn't be surprised if plan b is to flog the whole lot next and rebuild smaller somewhere cheaper.

There'll be a few noses out of joint with this possibly.

This is obviously very good news.

Quite how the change of heart will have come about is not clear at the moment. This won't be a popular suggestion but is it possible that Tony Mowbray objected to the proposal on the grounds that it was going to make team preparation harder and the Raos then listened to him.

Glad you see it as good news but as for the rest as usual you are probably 5000 miles off the mark.

The guy should be ripped into little pieces by ANY half decent journo with a pair of balls.  The stuff he comes out with is meat and drink it's like a boxer standing thee with his hands down.

Unbelievable how he can get away with such contradictory dog shit week after week, month after month. He's embarrassing. 

Soon as he mentions possession and performance again after another defeat there's your chance boys !

Interesting. 

I think a drop to league 1 would be far more catastrophic this time though given the already stretched finances and the squad we'd be left with. I understand the apathy, just think we desperately need to stay in the championship for the future of the club.

The ownership thick as it is are probably shrugging their shoulders thinking if we drop again we'll come straight back again.  Only cost them a seasons championship budget and about 2 million in transfer money.

I think they'd find that again for one more season of Mowbray. Especially if it gives another opportunity for cost cutting and is balanced by 10 million in player sales.

Then there is the land.....

Never underestimate the stupidity of this lot and their pals before progress attitude.

Has Mowbray ever really been in regular touch with the owners though ?

Of has it been just another lip service line he's thrown out occasionally to pacify fans.

Part of the reason for getting Waggot on board was so the lines of communication where supposed to improve through him. Leaving Mowbray to get on with his job. To be honest i doubt any of them ever speak to the real organ grinders unless they themselves ring from India.

Also the messenger/spy or whatever he is has allegedly been away due to covid. Wonder if that's had any bearing on the mess of this season ?

Easy street must've been that bit easier without any eyes and ears around the place. 

Letting the likes of Nyambe go on nothing more than compen isn't exactly the Brentford model these 3 goons are pitching is it ?

Absolute shower of R soles.

Mulgrew was shipped out of the club. Same may well happen with Travis if Mowbray doesn't go.

Blackburn Rovers these days seems all about Tony Mowbray.

Something his disciples don't seem to notice.

I'll say this. He's a sneaky bugger linking anyone wanting him gone with a hire and fire short term approach. Total bull but a very clever link to make. A deceptive and cunning turd is our Tony. 

He's a very very crafty operator when it comes to the verbals he's been at it years. Trouble is with guys like that when people finally see through them they can't see it themselves.

He's been making a fool of himself for a while now in all but the most blinkered eyes.

So it sounds like Travis has spoken back to him in no uncertain terms. If dropping someone because they have a go back is the 'maturity' of Mowbrays management it's no wonder players are in and out so often.

He's been around quite a while, funny guy.

Definitely proved himself on a par with Coyle on and off the pitch.  He over the last 12 months has developed a real tendency for verbal diarrhea like clownpants. On the football side of it equally as confusing and trying a style neither he or his team can make a success of.

Coyle was a liar and ducker and diver though the min he set foot in the place and he began his charade in the transfer market straight away.

Mowbray i think to be fair has been steady away and well meaning but has just gone into self preserving mode worse and worse as time has gone on. Now it seems he'll say anything he can regardless of contradictions and brazen it out.

So he's turned into just as big a twohat as the goon he replaced.

Another question the LT should have asked

Do you accept any responsibility for the results? 

That's the first question they should be asking.

So as long as the owners are enjoying the games and feel we are unlucky nothing else matters.  

Nothing sums up Venkys tenure as owners better than that.  Fans feelings really do not matter a jot.
