Brockhall STC - planning permission application ?
arbitro replied to Mattyblue's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I didn't hear any mention of the cash relating to the sale as if he was deliberately avoiding the subject. It's just a charm offensive in my view after the extensive criticism he and the others have had this week. I don't believe he would have gone public at all until it was a done deal had the news not broke last weekend. Anybody notice his dry mouth when he was talking. -
And your first sentence is my point about a new manager coming in. He needs time to assess and plan so now is the time. Summer is too late.

Mowbrays Successor
arbitro replied to Darwen Rover 007's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
We might as well keep Mowbray as give the job to a coach for the rest of the season. If (big if) he gets the boot a new manager has to assess the squad, sort out contracts, plan pre season and target new signings. Time is really of the essence here. -

It is. The website I saw had him as three and corrected it later. -

Dan Pike has number three as his squad number which was Derrick Williams' number. I posted a while ago that he has left but for some bizarre reason the club don't want to announce it. -

I have seen Watford a few times even as recently as Friday and they try and play out from the back. It will be an eye opener for them walking out on that. It could be advantageous to us if Mowbray doesn't over complicate things. Plenty of balls over the top for Armstrong to chase would be the order of the day for me with a high press out of possession. -

I would have thought so. It has been steady rather than the incessant heavy rain we saw before the Swansea game. -

The Ewood swamp might be a bit of a leveller tonight after a day of rain. -

I once heard a comedian say "Don't get married, just find a woman you don't like and buy her a house." 😁😁😁😁😁 -

BRFC - The Nostalgia Thread
arbitro replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
It was Jack. I used to be so envious of them for having two regular goal scorers like them. They always seemed to score against us too. -
He has, according to his agent suffered multiple leg injuries and is in surgery. He was cut from the wreckage by the Fire Brigade. SSN showed a picture of his car and it's A real mess.

I'm not sure Lenny. It looks like we were playing flying goalkeeper though 😁😁 -

John Waddington on the left and Faz on the right but who is the one in the middle? Smash and Grab playing for the Gas are also in the picture. -

I was referring to the prices in a development in Darwen. -

Thanks Ian. £60k is around 20-25% of the average price of a house on this new development. -

The annoying thing is that all the information to start an in depth article is on this website. Lots of links, facts and JHRovers excellent post containing the Coventry angle in chronological order. At the very least they should be exploring Venus and Waggotts involvement in the 'sale' of Coventrys training ground. -

The whole Nyambe thing on Saturday just didn't sit right. When he came off he sat on the perimeter wall by the dugout with only Damien Johnson in shot with him. He clearly didn't go back to the changing room for treatment and didn't appear to have any ice on his hamstring. Then Mowbrays wild assertion post match that he might be out for months and yesterday we learn he could be fit for Wednesday. Very strange. -

There is a new development going on close to me and through a friend who knows the people who sold the land I was told they got £60k per plot. The Ribble Valley would be higher I guess but some of the ridiculous figures being banded about are, I suspect wide of the mark. -

This is what Mowbray said post match on Saturday about Nyambe: "I’m also more worried about Nyambe," he added post-match. "Somebody we have talked a lot about this week - a kid who works excessively hard and needed a break and yet the world seemed to question why Nyambe wasn’t playing - has now broken down and might be out for months. "It's his hamstring, you have to protect your players and people should just let the manager do their job." Now he might be fit for Wednesday. Moral of the story - Mowbray is a gobshite. -

I stand to be corrected but some of the clubs who have given up Academy status only play friendlies. Huddersfield downgraded their Academy for financial reasons and this could well be us in the near future. I have a recollection of the Academy costing £3m each season but that was a figure from a few years ago. https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/news/huddersfield-town-set-overhaul-academy-13629038 -

One of the most irksome things about this is the almost underhanded way it has been done so far and, once again the shadowy figures lurking in the background. The naivete of some is astounding. If the downgrade goes ahead Rovers will be worse off, there's no going back. Just imagine the possibility of swapping our fantastic training ground for Mowbray to bring in another Brereton or Gallagher with the money. -

Just reading some of the excellent posts in this thread has got me wondering if the club would be happy to dispense with the Academy in the long run and focus on the seniors and under 23's. JHRovers terrific, detailed post shows it's nigh on impossible to do what they are saying in the proposal. -

I was referring to the quality of play and results which as far as I am concerned is the product.
