From the carrotts being dangled by some posters it appears that Venkys are going nowhere but there will be changes to the management stucture. Again hypothesising but the only assumption I can make is that Waggott and Mowbray will be amongst the ones to go. Now how ridiculous and unprofessional is it that this information has been passed on to supporters? If it's correct it's another example of how poor our owners are sums up the last eleven years. Again I stress that these are my assumptions.

It was said on here that we are paying £10k to Leeds for Poveda. I don't know the accuracy of this but the lowest paid player at Leeds is a reputed £17k.

This is an interesting article. Assuming it includes players loaned out then we could be contributing a significant amount for our loanees. Brightons lowest paid player is on £10k per week, Leeds lowest on £17k and Liverpools on £9k. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/premier-league-dani-alves-barcelona-25467717

Hopefully there is some recourse for Wycombe in the whole Derby farce. The EFL have a lot to answer for in my view as Derbys misdemeanours are historical and could have been dealt with sooner. https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/derby-wycombe-bill-kirchner-takeover-6112331

It's probably a bit early but the EFL have announced that, because of the World Cup next season the competitions will start on July 30th and effectively be suspended for a month from November 12th to December 10th for Championship clubs. https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2021/november/15/efl-announces-2022-23-dates/

And the reason Sheff Utd sold that amount was simply did to the price. They would normally have brought no more than 2-2500. I have spoken to a few Nobbers who won't be coming simply because of the price. Whatever happened to the reciprocal agreements we had with the likes of Wigan and Bolton where cheap tickets were available for the home and away games? Lets not forget it's due to a lot of Waggotts inadequacies that he has to rinse the supporters.

That is embarrassing. It's barely a foul I honestly don't know what the referee and VAR could have seen to warrant a red card.

Of more interest to me will be if Mowbray is given any money to spend. That will be a real indicator as to whether he gets a new deal or not. My money is on the former.

Dead right Lenny. My favourite is Faz who, if I remember correctly never kissed the badge. These Johnny come latelys can't hold a candle to some of our 70's and 80's heroes.

I can still see Anderson screwing his eyes up to try and generate some moisture. What a twat.

Here is the link if anybody can be arsed. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12463810/steve-kean-interview-former-blackburn-boss-on-life-in-the-pressure-cooker-there-and-finding-success-in-brunei It appears he still has friends with some sway at Sky. I'm so glad I cancelled my sports subscription when I see that snake given air time.

It's a simple question for me. Is Howe any better than Bruce? My view is no particularly if the need to scrap. Howe is one of the noveau managers who want their teams to play total football. But you can't weave without weft.

Weren't Kamy and Glen Mullan threatened by some people for digging around? Their investigations clearly had somebody worried as to what they might find.

In fairness the three you mention have had six promotions to the Premier League. In the thirty years of the PL that means that the three are responsible for 20% of the promotions. I accept that they aren't everybody's cup of tea but their records are there to be seen.

Absolutely right Matty and that says more about Waggott and his desire for populism than anything else. I'm sure the players will be pleased to know he was discussing their futures to what are effectively strangers.

I truly believe you about your conversation and the content with Waggott and if some posters don't want to believe it then don't shoot the messenger. What I doubt is the veracity of what Waggott said as only a few weeks ago either Mowbray or Waggott said the opposite of what was said to Paul. It was Lenihan that was close to signing then and miles apart with Nyambe and Rothwell. I have heard things that Waggott has said in the lounges pre match that just hasn't turned out to be right. Frankly I have no trust or faith in what Waggott says but Paul is only relating what he has been told.

If the allegations are talked about on the show and he actually is implicated could it not potentially be sub judice as there is a likelihood it will end up in court? I think for all parties it's sensible.

Talk about contrasting games. On Wednesday we threw in the towel and surrendered with a whimper. Today we rolled our sleeves up and wanted to scrap and fight but more importantly show some pride. Having seen all of Mowbrays games in charge I think today was the first time we had some natural width, not wide strikers or inverted wingers but square pegs in the right flaming holes. And for me it was a fundamental difference with Poveda and Khedra running at full backs and putting crosses in. The pitch was made wider than ever and the benefit was there to be seen. I accept that defensively they weren't great. I thought Davenport was our best player today with lots of players not far behind him but a special mention to Scott Wharton. He looked a little rusty and really tired towards the end but he can be delighted with his contribution today. Alongside him Lenihan was solid although I think he picked up his fifth booking today (I stand to be corrected on that though) from a woefully inadequate referee who fell way below the expected standard although in a perverse way his denying of us a clear penalty seemed to anger the players and the crowd and the tempo was raised. All in all it's a good end to an awful week but with yer man in charge who knows what the Bristol game will bring.

I saw Scott play for the under 23's last week and whilst his fitness was fine his timing was all over the place. I just hope Mowbray isn't throwing him under the bus.

There is some negativity and booing at Old Trafford. I hope the "proper" fans are taking them to task. © A Mowbray

Is that from today?

What a great servant to Rovers. And if I'm not mistaken he still holds the record for appearances for us. And he's still working too. Happy birthday Faz.

Why did Butterfield delete his post then? This loyalty thing is a two way street. We took him from Gillingham and helped make him the player has become. We have supported him through two had injuries even giving him a new contract. Mowbray effectively kept him out of prison. And he repays the club by liking a post celebratory biggest ever home defeat. But the big worry is he (and you seemingly) doesn't think he has done anything wrong.

I seem to remember that Salgado offered to remove the clause to help the team fight relegation. But that lot didn't want to know.

That's alright but whose pies are they selling? 😁😁😁
