There's a car been spotted outside Ewood. Make of this what you will.

Tick tock!

Apart from something about "uncorking a magnificent case of Chilean reds."

What is your source currently telling you?

He's not bloody going is he? 3 PM will come and go and we'll all be miserable

Please, let today be the day...

I was thinking about all this last night. If Venky's truly are as rich as purported, then the money they are putting into the club is the equivalent of an average Joe having a week in Marbella once a year. By their rationale, keeping the club solvent and staying as owners is likely deemed enough to 'save face' in India. Beyond that - and as all the evidence points to - they simply can't be bothered, and may even take some spiteful pleasure in explicitly NOT doing what the more vocal supporters are demanding. These aren't the type of people who will ever have been dictated to by anyone in their cosseted lives before, much less by a bunch of football supporters - many of whom waved banners decrying them and - lest we forget - threw snowballs at them. We haven't had sight or sound of any them for years at this stage, and I sincerely doubt they'll show up any time in the near future. Perhaps this awful purgatory is their form of revenge?

Oh sweet Lord I can see it now...

Count me in too

Yeah, stick to the tea cakes for God's sakes...

🤮😑

I know it's the hope that kills, but... Just imagine if the Pune dopes just said 'to hell with it' and forked out for a top class manager on a bumper contract... OK, I'll wake up now.

Rumours about Hughes? Do tell... God, what a lift that would be...

That was an extremely weird and wildly inappropriate thing to say. Who does he think he is? And why wouldn't he, at the very least, pretend a defeat bothers him? Is it the petulant statement of a man about to be booted out? Or the spite of the unsackable ?

Tony is right. Us working-class fans of working-class football will have toe-bogging and 50 yard wellies a-plenty, thank you very much. Our socio-economic background precludes appreciation of anything else, and - oh - to think how we suffered through all those seasons in the Premier League watching show-ponies like Tugay, Duff and Bellamy...

Good God he talks some bollocks! Working class hero claptrap! The journey... Going in the right direction...

Not sure I needed that mental image!

Any beverage recommendations for tonight? In the same way that one pairs superb steamed whiting with a nice chilled Fleurie, what would be a suitable accompaniment to tonight's Tony Mowbray early bird?

They potted Berg, Bowyer and Coyle (relatively) quickly though, didn't they?

Forget Steve Waggott, why can't one of those chumps in Pune just do the right thing by us for ONCE, pick up the phone tonight, sack him and seek to appoint a decent - hell, Half-decent - manager to try and take the club forward? I mean in the name of God, why won't they just do what is patently necessary?? They might even enjoy seeing the team striving to win a few matches! Is this garbage never going to end from Venky's?

Cracking point! Stopped the rot! "I said to them young fellers in that dressing room, sometimes life 'ands yer a point agin Coventry and ye take it and ye learn from it zzzzzzz z zzzzzzz zzz (picks ear)"

Abysmal. Mowbray Out Waggott Out Venky's Out

I'm confident of a hard-earned point today. TMBWA !!!!

"There are some very fine people... on both sides."

I would wager good money that Mowbray, Waggott et al are very aware of the chatter on this board. A few posters, myself included, used the very phrase about Blackburn Rovers being famous all over the world, and now he suddenly says that out of nowhere in a speech to Bayes that could be set to a melodramatic 'inspirational' Hollywood blockbuster soundtrack. Very odd. Whatever he may say, he clearly is worried about losing his job.
