Jon Dahl Tomasson - Sweden coach
arbitro replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Listening to JDT in his early interviews it sounds like he wants to give us an identity, something we have been lacking for a long time now. I sincerely hope he is given his head in the transfer market and his judgement backed. Pre season is going to be really interesting and hopefully as we get closer to July 30th we can see things developing. It's only early days but after five years of Mowbray droning on it's good to see our manager actually smiling. -
If he really is from California he could buy a season ticket and donate it to someone if he thinks they are reasonably priced. Let him out his money where his mouth is.

California dreaming!

Some serious ability there. -
I think he makes some salient points. Over to you Swagster.

I'm not keen on the word 'project' but it's hard to disagree with anything else he says. And he said "the fans pay a lot of money". He's on board with us already. 😃😃 -

Oh I will change when I see evidence of it with my own eyes and until that time I will curse the day they came. Do you recall the opening statement from Desai about respecting the legacy of Jack Walker. I wonder what she would say today if she was challenged about it. -

Bloody hell Mowbrays only been gone a month and you're telling me the owners have wised up (after twelve years mind). How was Myers on the gravy train but the current incumbents aren't? If the owners had wised up we would have had more sensible pricing on season tickets and wouldn't be on the cusp of embarrassment. -

And caused the resignation of Alan Myers who was embarrassed by the u-turn. -
This is something Waggott and whoever else in the decision making process should read. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/every-efl-season-ticket-price-27237210

What a poor and provocative post. Are you aware of what is going on in the world? Maybe remove the 'I'm alright Jack' attitude and see thing from others perspective, others perhaps not in your situation who are prioritising other, more important things. Nobody is happy with this situation but your comments should be directed at the senior management at Ewood.

Great stuff by Kamy. Honestly there is the wherewithal amongst many posters on this site to do a far better job than the current incumbents at Ewood. I would love to know if any of the senior management team at Rovers actually spoke to anybody about season tickets.

I'm quite enthused about this appointment despite the convoluted process of getting him. I want to see players playing in their best positions, playing a solid shape which doesn't require a Rocket Science degree to understand but most of all I want winning football. He has to be allowed to manage and bring players in without interference from anybody outside of his team and Broughton. So there it is, simple Mr Tomasson. But the elephant will still be in the room. -
They could offer discounts on 23-24 season for anybody who has bought one for 22-23. Then they could reduce the prices without any drama to try and entice more. But that would mean they got it ridiculously wrong in the first place. That's me dreaming though - I can hear it now "we've done all we can" and "we'll look into it" .
-
I wonder how Waggott will spin that.
-
Could well be. I saw the article headline without reading it and assumed he would be fit.
-
Pre injury I would have said the he was a young player with huge potential. Big, strong and can play in a number of positions. My fear, as with any player coming back from a serious injury is how it has affected him. Hopefully he will get an opportunity in pre season to prove himself to the new man and we see him in and around the first team squad.
-
And the likes of Waggott will have a freebie too who is ironic when you consider how much we pay and the relative salaries of the vast majority and him. He will get comps for away games too.

New Head of Marketing
arbitro replied to Paul Mellelieu's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Another great idea from a club below us. Clearing out old stock whilst bringing money in. *Not strictly marketing but the nearest to it I can find. -
I was aware of that Ian and made reference to that in my conversation with Waggott saying it looks like he doesn't want Hull to get in trouble as a previous employee by telling me to move on. Interestingly the patronising email he sent was on January 11th and he ignored two subsequent emails I sent to him. I then contacted Waggott direct on January 21st and he called me back the same day. I was sent an email on May 9th by Christina Haines with the final EFL response regarding the matter. This was almost four months after Fielder said Whilst this has been a frustrating sequence of events for all – including the club as we have missed out on vital TV revenue – we have resigned ourselves to the fact there is very little we can do but to move on and now look forward to playing the game on Wednesday 19th January.

Fielder intercepted an email I sent to Waggott about the circumstances surrounding the Hull postponement and was patronising and condescending to say the least in his reply. I complained about his response and in fairness got a call from Waggott who said he would take him to task about his response.
