I'm desperate. Can anyone see any positives at all about TM staying as manager for at least another 18 months?

Has he gone yet?

Tony looked like someone's mad uncle out there tonight. Standing sodden in his trackie-bums, gibbering furiously to himself.

I don't like Keane a bit but I'd take him in a heartbeat. An appointment like that would genuinely be cause for excitement, something there has been precious little of in recent times

Oh. I'm terribly sorry for your loss.

Dan, can you clarify what you said about 'go up or bust' please? I'm not as clued up on the financials as I should be.

Will you be shelling out for the privilege on IFollow, Len?

Yes to be honest I got an immediate whiff of BS about it. It's in keeping with all the humble Boro boy stuff,right down to the faux modesty of "oh that's above my pay grade". Says the guy who appointed the CEO!

Will they ever leave though? If they are as rich as everyone says they are, is it conceivable - though utterly bonkers - that they could just keep covering the losses for decades to come?

The petulance of his response gives me hope.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Again.

Thanks for that. I had thought the video-feed was only available to season ticket holders. It's a form of masochism stumping up for Tony's dross, but I am drawn nonetheless, moth to a flame.

There's a guy who calls himself John Claret - amongst many, many other aliases - who posts about twenty times a day on Rovers articles and has been doing so for at least the past decade. Real psychiatric-inmate territory.

I'm in Ireland. Does anyone know how I can shell out for the pleasure of watching this? Thanks

Are they really still 'misguided' though or they wilfully visiting this upon us? Of course, if they were, it would beg the question: Why the hell are they injecting money into the club?

Now that's a refreshing choice of word! Sometimes one has to call a spade a spade, and a tool a tool.

Some terrific posts on here today. Bleak as things are currently, it does makes things feel that bit better to know there are people who still vividly remember what it felt like to be a superbly-run, professional outfit, and the high standards set by Jack Walker and, latterly, people like John Williams, Tom Finn, Graeme Souness and Mark Hughes. As some posters have mentioned - apart from the lack-of-brain-cells issue - the reaction of many 'supporters' to the cynical PR-job by the club makes me think that, all things considered, they just aren't that bothered about the club.

"Darling... could you poke at your ear, like Tony does?"

Where's the Mowbray flag at these days? To me, that rang serious alarm bells.

Do you genuinely think they are doing this with a view to washing their hands of the club once/ if they sell Brockhall?

For the love of God man, GO, and take Big Steve and Mark Venus with you

Ever since Venky's rocked up and the protesters were sneered at, it's become patently obvious that vast swathes of Rovers fans are incurably thick. That's not an exaggeration by the way. We have so many supine, bovine 'supporters' whose mentality is, in a sourly ironic sense, exactly the opposite of what Jack Walker always espoused in terms of thinking big. It's sickening. Brockhall has always been one of the major assets in terms of attracting quality management and players, and has, through the years, been talked up much more than Ewood Park itself in terms of the excellence of its facilities. While everyone knows that Venky's ownership is always a major cloud over the club, there has at least been some hope in recent years that - with Ewood and Brockhall and our rich history, known all over the world - we might just 'stumble across' a good manager who could get us back to the Premier League. Cutting Brockhall out of the equation will also serve to diminish our appeal even further.

"TRUST ME"

The whole thing is just as much a mystery as it was in 2010. Why are they still here? What's the point?
