  1. Thanks. Will there be some minutes available of the meeting?
  2. I have given you all the information I was given apart from a question about season tickets. Allegedly it was said that they were waiting to see what league we are in before they are advertised. If there was a meeting somebody from the various fan groups should know. I got the story second hand but I was told who the originator was and I have no reason to disbelieve him.
  3. I was told last night that a Supporters Consultation Meeting took place on Thursday but this is unsubstantiated. According to the friend who told me neither of Waggott, Cheston or Silvester were there with Greg Coar and Lyndsey Talbot taking the questions. Has anybody else heard anything?
  4. Does he realise how stupid he sounds? Development of players and the team? How many players have actually developed in his four years compared to how many have stagnated or regressed? And we are on course to finish marginally above the league position we were in when he joined us. He is beginning to sound like he has serious issues.
  5. I honestly can't see any value in selling Brockhall and moving to a new site, it's pointless in my view. In terms of the value of Brockhall it isn't worth nearly as much as they thought with the bottom site not available for housing. Again it's a back of a fag packet job which would probably cost the owners money should we sell Brockhall and relocate. If Waggott was in the job for the right reasons he would be asking the owners for money to develop the Riverside rather than potentially selling Brockhall and moving elsewhere.
  6. All this innovations would be far more palatable if they improved the product and helped to win matches. In 2000 the Select Group of referees came into being with the advent of full time, professional referees followed by Select Group 2 in 2017 who mainly operate on the Championship. They have access to sports psychologists, fitness coaches, referee coaches and pretty much the best of everything. Has anybody noticed a discernable difference in the standard of refereeing to justify the huge expenditure? If anything I believe the standard is worse. That's just how I view all these new fangled ideas which cost a fortune just as (I believe) the standard of entertainment is regressing as we are insulted by managers who have an excuse for everything.
  7. For me personally it's another big lump of the block that used to be my love of football but the idiots have chipped away at it so much there's not much left. I honestly have not read so much bollocks on football related topics in my life. Expected goals, what does it mean, what does it prove, who actually believes in this shite. Winning football matches is all that matters, that is what success is built on but some have lost sight of that in the statistic driven world. It's simple, couldn't be simpler really - score more than your opponents and win the game. Still it keeps some people in a job.
  8. I'm amazed that afer a decade of these owners the same tired old excuse for them is still trotted out. There is a letter in circulation signed by Messrs Williams, Finn and Goodman advising them that what was happening was against the rules and potentially could get us in trouble. They were still in situ when the letter was sent so had the owners not been so arrogant and listened to the people that knew and understood the potential pitfalls then all this could have been avoided. They didn't and within months all three were toast. It was all so avoidable.
  9. It's nonsense Andy. I'd wager the majority of the country aren't really bothered.
  10. It's not Mogadon we want, it's Mogagon. 😁😁😁😁
  11. You raise a very good point about the wasting of money Mercer which in the general euphoria is easy to overlook. Money is sanctioned for a project which contained lots of variables and inconsistencies yet a lack of money is cited for not keeping Ewood clean or not giving refunds for season tickets. This is something that Waggott should be accountable for.
  12. Get him a sedan chair with Waggott and Venus to carry it. 😁😁😁😁
  13. Although it's time to rejoice I can't help myself dislike Waggott even more than before. For the disdain and disrespect he showed Rovers he shouldn't be anywhere near our great club. From the outset this has been so poorly handled it's like a Brian Rix farce. Awfully worded announcements, ill conceived ideas and factually incorrect statements have shown him up for what he is. Now do the honourable thing Swag and leave our club forever.
  14. It's reassuring to know we still have fans who care and put some pressure on Waggott and Co in various ways. Even a post on this message board will have helped so nobody should underestimate their involvement. Special appreciation to Revidgeblue for his forensic work in putting the excellent letter together. I also know others have been active in the background so thanks to you also. Fans 1 - Coventrio 0
  15. Something I really believe is that the manager should be the highest paid person at the club. Going and getting the equivalent of a free transfer has been Venkys MO and I don't expect that to change. Leeds really pushed the boat out for Bielsa and that has paid dividends.
  16. I would have given you ten likes for your inclusion of the word 'numbness'. It sums things up better than any other word I have seen used.
  17. Quote from Mowbray: When asked about Travis' absence, Mowbray replied: “Not fit, not picked, not selected, not ready yet.”
  18. https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/blackburn-rovers-concerning-picture-championship-20328873 What I find interesting about this article is that two Nobbers spoke up for Neil decrying the notion he had lost the players and yet I've seen nothing (although I don't do the trendy social media sites) from any Rovers player speaking up for Mowbray. One of the Lancashire Live articles mentions an unsubstantiated bust up with Travis.
  19. If you throw enough darts you will eventually hit the bullseye. 😁😁😁😁😁
  20. Personally mate I love the rumours, not just about the manager but about the club in general. Whether I believe them is another matter but many spark debate and keep this message board ticking over. Keep 'em coming. 😁😁😁
  21. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11710/12267237/coventry-city-placed-under-transfer-embargo-for-filing-club-accounts-late As you rightly say Parson the EFL once again has shown itself up.
  22. That's a real worry Andy. This is a man that cowardly hid behind some curtains at a Supporters Consultation meeting because he couldn't face being questioned by some fans. I can only see him telling Swag to do the dirty deed if it is going to happen.
  23. I think if either of Waggott or Mowbray goes the other will follow as they are both shielding each other. In reality I think both will stick around like bad smells for a while yet.
  24. I'm actually 100% certain he will be here next season. Autonomy with impunity - what a great position to be in.
  25. I agree entirely and some of them couldn't (and probably still can't) see the woods for the trees.
