Don't talk nonsense Chaddy. Waggott can give the owners whatever advice he likes. Whether or not they take that advice is of course an entirely different matter. But if he couldn't give them any advice at all for fear of losing his job, what's the point of paying him £300k p.a.?

Naturally.

You're our man! How does £750 k p.a. sound?

You'd only get the job if the kettle and toaster you bought were smaller than the ones you originally had and weren't needed anyway as the originals were working just fine!

Sam, Paul Hunt. They can act decisively when they really want to.

This is the nub of it all, despite everything I don't think we'll go down as the bottom three are still a long way behind. I certainly wouldn't bet against us finishing 4th bottom though. How embarrassing would it be if we only stayed up because of Wednesday's 6 point deduction?

Housing Development.

He's not as bad as Dalglish though as you rightly pointed out.

Didn't watch it today, unless it's free on the red button I'm not wasting £10 until Mowbray goes. Saw the goals on Soccer Saturday. Cracking finish by Brereton and great set up play by Nyambe. The latter will be sadly missed when we lose him for next to nothing due to the negligence of Mowbray and Waggott.

Eh? Useful rule of thumb, Evans plays we lose. He'd done nothing to warrant being brought back in last Wednesday and you'd have been forgiven for forgetting he was on the pitch. Think I saw him touch the ball around the 53rd minute.

It's been admitted we would lose pitches if we go ahead. As for it only being a proposal, it's more than that they, they seem to have gone into a great deal of care and planning to ascertain that 170 new dwellings could be squeezed on one of the sites and get to the stage where they could submit a planning application. On the sly.

Coventry - ghastly chocolate brown strips - Howard Kendal beating them 1-0 at Ewood in FA Cup 4th round 1980 when we were League 1 and they were Premier League equivalents. Happy Days. As for tomorrow who cares? Securing Brockhall and seeing the back of the Coventry 3 is way more important. I actually think we might do the usual and sneak a win which will secure Mowbray's employment for a while longer.

I'll have a look again. Nothing wrong with (3) in principle but it's totally unrelated to (1) and (2). We only get the sale price of the land to the developers, you do understand that dont you. I haven't seen anything to suggest that we'll end up with anything other than a similar standard of facility than we have now only much less of them. And Waggott even seems to suggest the project will run at a loss. That's why you're getting stick, for defending a seemingly indefensible position. Nothing to do with being a new poster.

If you're going to be a WUM you might as well remember what you've posted. "I see a proposal that intends on retaining that status (Cat 1) whilst generating funds" Your words not mine. Nothing whatsoever to do with Ewood Park.

You must be hard of understanding. Top class indoor pitches that Mowbray CHOSE not to use during a brief spell of bad weather.

For that, you'd need top class training facilities of Category 1 standard with room for both the Academy and Senior Set up. Oh wait, we already have them!................

What? Apologies if I missed that (I'll re-read what he said) but how is that assisted by a loss making scheme down at Brockhall? At least I know you're trolling now and not a genuine poster.

You've obviously never been to Brockhall I take it? The current facilities are superb. Especially the indoor pitches. We're not talking Luton 1975 here, they're as smooth as silk to the touch. With the benefit of hindsight the previously incomprehensible decision to train on a pitch that was already knackered seems part of a cunning plain to paint the indoor training facilities as outdated or unusable. I thought we only did it to ensure the game got called off.

Hi Chaddy. Well, if such an ultimatum was made, they haven't acted on it so far have they? The poster claimed they haven't acted because they don't have an immediate replacement for Waggott. If results don't improve and they're still both here in the summer something would even more amiss than it already appears.

Can you not read what Waggott said today? He appeared to be claiming that the cost of building the new facility would be the same as or would more likely exceed the sale proceeds which the owners would have to make up. How does that "generate funds?"

That's it in a nutshell. Superp post which should be forwarded to the LT and Lancs Life.

Don't spoil the fantasy with facts. Those are the sort of points the local journos should be making instead of lapping it all up at face value.

It was so rare we heard from him I didn't know what he looked like for a long while. When I eventually saw a picture of him my gut reaction was "I wouldn't buy a car off that bloke". Totally unfair of course. But nothing he's done or said since has altered by opinion. Arthur Daley without any of the charm.

He hasn't been able to cite one genuine advantage the new facility would have over the ones we already have. And it's been admitted we'd lose a number of pitches. It's not improving the facilities it's downsizing them and making them worse.

We have been a bit unlucky with injuries but that's part of the game and nobody forced him to sign an unreliable injury prone 29/30 year old CB who had barely played in 2020 and a couple of 18 year old to play at CB when we have a 20 year old CB of our own we could have used. Other than that the challenges presented by Covid have been the same for every Club. And most Clubs don't have the financial cushion of multi billionaire owners bailing them out. Just covering his mate's back. A proper unbiased CEO would either have said nothing or admitted that results hadn't been good enough and left it at that. They certainly wouldn't be rolling out excuses for the manager.
