The same could have been said of both Hughes and Souness. It is just as players, they were more subtle at it than Ferguson. !

We managed half a season looking reasonable fit. That is not good enough.

To tell the truth we haven't had decent personnel in those positions for years. The first bit of pre-season training is mainly about stamina and fitness. Any coach should be able to do that.

I think Lenihan and Nyambe will be more influenced by what offers they get !

Isn't the Ewood pitch dug up ?

Ash Phillips will eventually be as good, if not better than Lenihan. I would be more worried about losing Phillips. Our problem would be who do we get to fill in, in the meantime ? We have Ayala, Carter and Wharton, I think the most important question is how does the new manager want to set up the defence.

Personally I will give my support to any manager that tries to get us promoted, if they fail then we look elsewhere. Is that not the case in any walk of life ?

I would be surprised, if at this stage we have sold that many !

If you don't want to read this thread, then don't.

The main message I have taken from this debacle is, I am keeping my money in my pocket, till the new man is announced.

No it is actually Jesus Christ. It's a line from a song that used to be sung when I was in the military.

He's the most, get's pissed up on wine and toast. Has anybody seen JC

Knowing the present set-up, you will probably find that the only person who knows how to update the available seats, on the website, is on holiday till the end of next week. This is not a fact, it is said with humour in mind.

Does that mean you are calling yourself an old tosser ?

To tell the truth, I am not bothered what our new manager has done previously, good or bad. I am more concerned with what he would do at the Rovers

Come on Wales in the next round.

I looked earlier, the price for six games worked out at £25 per game. Not a great deal, in my opinion.

Your selling it to the idiots in charge at Ewood. They will be right on that.

Meet chaddy.

They will probably add an extortionate charge for postage. The Rovers might as well come out with the headline,"We are going to fleece all loyal ticket holders, but not as much as we are going to fleece anyone else who cares to attend."

I take it you mean queen Nicola !

I was just warning another poster that hotels may be expensive that week-end. I don't know what standard of hotel that other poster was looking for. Personnally I am going to drive there and back on the day, and will stay over at the Hartlepool game.

The second one is for a motorhome/tent pitch. I wouldn't call 5-10 miles a short distance from the city center.

Come on Ukrane.

Not according to Trivago.
